Chapter Three
"He's fine, dad and Gregor said they'd look after him. Besides he can take care of him self." Alex reassured his sister.
"I know, it's just I miss him so much." Loren started to walk to her classroom but stopped and turned to face her brother, "Kyle, how should I tell Conner?" Kyle stood there for a moment and said nothing.
Slowly he said, "Tell…Conner…. what?"
"That we have to break up."
"Are you crazy, Conner loves you, how could you do…." He stopped in mid sentence, finally it dawned on him. "Your in love with Alex aren't you?"
"Yes, and he's in love with me…you know when we went into the forest the night before we left."
"Yeh, don't tell me you lost…" Loren started to laugh.
"NO! How could you, that's not…" Loren had a big smile on her face, " He asked me to, um, marry him." Loren watched emotions fly over her brother's face. She hated it when she couldn't read him, it didn't mean anything good.
"HE WHAT! Why didn't you tell me? This is great, does dad know?" Kyle put his arm around his sister as he walked with her into the building; Loren started laughing as she answered all of his questions.

"Are you sure?"
"Yes, milord, they were spotted coming towards here."
"We don't need this now, the harvest, we have to get ready for winter, we can't deal with them know!"
"Milord we need a messenger to send a letter to…"
The farmer was interrupted, "Yes, Yes, send one know and tell them to hurry." The lord walked out of the meeting room in to the sun.
Gregor came up behind him "Milord, want do you want us to do?"
"Ready the defenses and tell the people."
"Very good, milord." Gregor turned to go.
"Gregor, any word one Loren?"
Gregor Smiled "No worries milord, we'll here from her soon." Gregor turned and left was Alex watched the sun finish its journey above the horizon and sighed.
