I couldn't believe what I had just heard from the king. He had a magic elf completely erase his own son from everyone's memories?! I don't even notice I am walking until my feet touch Adam's leg. I crouch down next to him and stroke his hair from his forehead. The sweat has plastered it to his moist skin and I have to sweep it twice to get it to move. He looks at me and gives me a weak smile, I return it and hug him gently.
'What happened Adam? Why would you stop that knife from stabbing me?' I can see his eyes dart to Rae but he takes a deep breath and replies
'To be completely honest Nina, I didn't mean to.' I gasp horrified, he wanted me to die?! Sensing my shock he grabs my hand and continues
'What I mean is that I didn't know she was going to try and stab you when I hugged you.
