Chapter 13

Hesaoh walked around the castle.  Thorn was here somewhere.  He HAD to be if Prince William knew where he was.

Something didn’t seem right.  Hesaoh had felt it since the council meeting.  Something was going on and he didn’t like it.

He sighed.  At least he had the sword.  But what if that man came?  Hesaoh still hadn’t figured out how to use it yet, not since the first time when he was captured.  He hoped that the sword being under water hadn’t put the fire out completely.

So much had happened in the last few days.  Hesaoh wondered if he would ever get back home.

But now that he thought about it, did he really want to go back?  After all, he was now love struck.  Which world would he go to?  His own or Ann’s?

He tried one more time to summon the fire in the sword.  Nothing.  How had he done it when he had been captured?  He had been half asleep and half out of his mind when that had happened.  He couldn’t remember a lot from that day.

He passed by a window on the first story of the castle, not even paying attention.  In the corner of his eye he saw a firing squad about to take aim at someone.  He paused and backtracked, looking out the window.

His heart leapt as he saw who the prisoner was.  It was Thorn!

Hesaoh jumped out of the window and ran at his friend.  “NO!” he screamed as the final call was made.

He leapt in front of Thorn as the guns were shot and summoned the fire blade in his sword.  The blade grew and expanded, becoming a huge shield of fire that the bullets could not penetrate.

He glanced back at Thorn, who was bound and looked even worse than Hesaoh had when he had been tortured.  “You okay?”

“Who are you?” Thorn asked in awe.

Before Hesaoh could react, the fire shield disappeared and turned back into the blade of flame.

“Kill the traitor!” one of them shouted.

Hesaoh cut Thorn’s bonds with his fire sword.  “Come on, we gotta go!”

They ran back into the window as more bullets were being shot.  Several of the bird soldiers followed them inside, but Hesaoh opened a door and hid inside before they were seen.

They heard footsteps and flapping of wings as the soldiers rushed past.  Then they relaxed.

“Thanks for saving me.” Thorn said.

“No problem.” Hesaoh said.  “What is going on?”

“I don’t know.” Thorn said.  “I-I don’t remember anything.”

Oh boy.  Hesaoh thought.  This was all he needed.  He leaned back against a wall, trying to think of what to do next.  It was obvious he’d have to stay hidden.  And hiding in this room wasn’t going to keep either of them safe.

“Do you know me?” Thorn asked him.

“Yes.” Hesoah said.  “Your name is Thorn.  Mine is Hesaoh.  You’re my best friend.  Now come on.  We have to find some place safe or we’ll be in some serious trouble.”
