CHAPTER TWO

My horse rear sending me flying off. My head bounces off the ground. The only things I see before going unconscious is the knife hitting a tree and another one coming at me. Then I feel a sharp pain near my stomach and I'm instantly unconscious.

(A/N Now in Gunther's point of view)

I see Jane fall off her horse and the knife hits her. I jump off my horse and think "If only I'd have listened"

"JANE! JANE, PLEASE!" Tears start rolling down my face. "JANE PLEASE WAKEUP!"

"Gunther, if you would have looked closer, you can tell she is still, breathing, but barely."

I look to where the bandit was. He's still there, and without any knives so I lunge at him and bring him down.

"You did this! Why did you aim at her? Why? Why not me?"

Sir Ivon comes over and says, "I'll take it from here" and proceeds to lock up the criminal. I go back over to where Jane is and let go of the emotion I've been holding back for so long.

"Jane, please wake up. Please. I'm sorry for the way I teased you. I was just trying to cover up my real emotions. I love you Jane Turnkey. Please, stay with me."

At this point Sir Ivon and Sir Theodore turn their heads and look at me.

Sir Theodore says "the only way to save her is to get her to the castle, and heal her wounds or else she'll be infected and die."

"But the castle is two hours away!" Then I have an idea. Her sword. The one that summons Dragon. I take it out and start to wave the sword. Soon Dragon is over head.

He flys down and upon seeing Jane, turns to me and says "Okay short-life, what did you do to Jane. Tell me honestly or I'll make your life even shorter."

"Dragon," Sir Theodore says "it was this bandit who did it, not Gunther."

"Oh, well okay then." Dragon huffs.

"Please, the only way we can get her to survive is to get her to the castle."

"Okay, short life, get on. And watch the scales."

Finally we make it back to the castle. I carry Jane into the kitchen, where I knew the cook, Pepper, would be.

"Oh my gosh! Jane!" Pepper cries when she sees her. Upon hearing this the others file into the kitchen, each gasping when seeing the knife protruding from her. Jester in particular is devastated.

"Jane, please! Oh no! Jane please don't leave me!" He cries

"Pepper, please, Sir Theodore said the only way she could survive is if you cleaned her wounds." So as Pepper starts to heal Jane, I tell the others what happened.
