"It's my fault" Alanna murmured once the tears had stopped falling, "It's all my fault". Raoul made her look at him as he stroke her head.

"It's no body's fault," he told her firmly, "Do you hear me? I know what you are thinking and I won't allow it"

Alanna looked away as her hands grasped onto a pitcher, her hands shook slightly as she closed her eyes and slammed the pitcher into Raoul's head. His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her in disbelief.

"Alanna" he gasped as she backed away from him. Tears filled her eyes as she raised the pitcher once more and gave him another blow. His eyes closed as he collapsed onto the stoned floor.

"Sorry" she murmured, "I'm so sorry"

She unstrapped the dagger from Raoul's boots then rose to her feet; Raoul was going to wake soon and she must make haste. Her beautiful amethyst eyes filled with determination as she slipped the dagger in the folds of her gown then she dashed from the dungeon leaving her unconscious friend behind.

She didn't know what she was doing or what she was thinking; all she knew was that she must rescue her friend.

"I'm coming," she whispered.

Jonathan sighed as he rubbed his temples.

This is going to take longer than I thought

Most of the guest had already departed back to their homes yet a few remained. His advisor was going to give him a long lecture after his quest and he knew. He almost laughed out loud as he recalled what had happened these passed weeks. He must admit he liked this adventure more than his time at the palace. It reminded him of memories when they were young. He sighed as his mind drifted back to his champion. He would not let her die and he would try anything within his powers to prevent that from happening; it was a promise. He looked up when a blue messenger bird fluttered onto his shoulders. He stroked the bird's head as he untied the parchment from its leg.

He raised his brow in interest as he chuckled. The letter reads:

Dear Jonathan,

I hope you are going to return soon, the counselors and your advisors would never leave me alone! I don't even have time to have a proper bath without one of them interrupting me. Your cousin Gary; he isn't much help is he? I have missed you my husband and I hope you return soon. I have great news I am with child. Return to me soon, I will be waiting.

Yours truly, Thayet

"Thayet…" he murmured as Raoul burst into the great hall.

"The hard headed red head had gone after them!" he gasped as Jonathan leapt to his feet.

"Oh great god" Jonathan muttered as his mind raced, "Next time I'll have to chain her".

His eyes slowly opened as the wind caressed his face violently. He stayed as still as possible as he observed the position he was in. He was strapped upside down onto the back of a mount that was running like hell itself was after him. He clenched his fist when he recognized the figure that was guiding the mount.

"Nicholas", there was hardly any sound as he mouth the name in disgust and hatred. Never in his life had George Cooper, the King of thieves be so humiliated in his life. Slipping a short dagger from one of the folds of his sleeve he quietly freed himself as he hurled himself into an upright position. With a loud cry of fury he brought the dagger down onto the man's back. Sensing that his captive was awake Nicholas slipped from the horse. George jumped off the mount as he circled his enemy. Nicholas drew his sword as a slow smile spread across his bonny face. Unstrapping another dagger from his boots, George's beautiful hazel eyes never left his foe's pale blue.

" Once you die…Alanna…. will be mine", Nicholas whispered as George let out a free laugh.

"Till the last drop of my blood", George whispered fiercely as Nicholas lunged at him, his long sword raised above his head. George easily dodged the attack and with one quick swipe his dagger drew first blood.

Watching from a hidden view Roger chuckled in amusement as he watched the two men fight for the same reason.

"Fools", he laughed as he toyed with the red ruby that was hung around his neck. It glowed a hot red as Roger smiled to himself.

"Soon…." He murmured, "Soon...all will be mine…".

Her eyes blinded with unexpected tears as she urged Moonlight on into the dark forest. The clouds had suddenly dispatched from the night's sky was the moon emerged with its blinding beauty.

"George", she murmured as Moonlight leapt over a rotten log, "I'm sorry…".

Two figures laid ahead as the two of them were circling each other, both having their turn at feinting an attack. George was on top of Nicholas his daggers were preparing to strike onto its enemy. A scream of dismay rose from her throat as George brought his dagger down onto Nicholas's throat. Red light blinded both of them as Alanna screamed in horror. Her screams rang endlessly through the forest as birds fluttered from their homes in the trees and flew away from the endless scream.

So how was it? We will update real soon! so be patient okay? Please review... :-)
