Chapter 10

Adam was out there and the Hungars were coming. It was the only thing Justina could think of. She had waited behind a merchant’s cart until Gawyn disappeared into the keep. He would try to stop her, and she wasn’t going to stop looking for her brother. She wished she could have found a horse, but it didn’t matter. She would find Adam. She had to find Adam.

Still, Gawyn’s image came to mind as she hurried through the outer ward of the castle toward the portcullis. He knew what his brother had done, that he was a murderer. He was a murderer! Her heart broke. It didn’t matter, she told herself firmly. She had to find Adam. Why didn’t Adam listen to her? He could have been safe inside the castle. God, she hated the Lady Aurora for winning the hearts of men. For catching a young boy’s eye.

She fought the surge of people moving into the castle and pushed forward over the drawbridge and into the clearing just before the castle. She crossed the clearing and reached the edge of the forest when a thunderous noise rose behind her. A huge group of mounted knights crossed the drawbridge. They headed away from the forest, away from her. She thought she caught a glimpse of Lord Damien, of the monster, leading his men somewhere.

She wondered briefly where they were going. Were they going to fight the Hungars the wounded man had spoken about to Gawyn?

Where was she going? How did she know Adam was this way? She almost turned around and followed the soldiers. She almost did. But at the last moment, she continued in the direction she was heading.

All she knew was that Adam had to be safe. He was all she had left. She burst into the forest, running. Adam, her heart called. If he was the other way, the guards would find him. If he wasn’t, she would find him. She would find him. She had to. A strangled gasp escaped her lips and she paused for a moment. What if she was too late? The image of her father lying in the street in a pool of blood came to her mind. No. No! She glanced over her shoulder. Through the trees, she could see the wall of the castle in the distance. Gawyn was there. Her entire being ached for him, ached for the comfort and security he offered, his love. She firmly pushed his dashing image from her mind to concentrate on Adam. He could help you, a small voice inside of her insisted. He is a killer, she answered. She would find Adam on her own.

A picnic. Where would they go for a picnic? She stopped. They had taken guards with them; surely the Acquitaine soldiers would be able to protect them from the Hungars. It would do her no good to panic. She had to remain calm. She continued moving forward, trusting her instincts, trusting what her father had taught her.
