Kate felt her heart sink. She placed her hand on his back. "You have every reason to hate her." Kate closed her eyes and let her mana pour into him. "Jaci, rest now..you have carried him this far. He will live. I took an oath as a healer not to let anyone die under my care. He will not starve or be beaten. I promise."<br/><br/>Kate hands a large silk cloth out the window to be frozen in the wind. After pouring the oils over his wounds she laid the cloth over his back. She slowly removed Skye matted hair off his back. Kate took strands of his hair and added sage oil and cleaned out the hay, dirt and debis from his locks.<br/><br/>Within an hour they were at the manor. Peel drove the carriage to the back. Kate saw that Skye was in a deep sleep and had Peel to carry him upstairs to the room across from hers.<br/><br/>Kate was greeted by Ann the head housekeeper and cook. Kate whispers to her, "Let him sleep, This is Skye one of Malora's pets. She gave him to me."<br/><br/>Ann unlocked the door to the room and turns down the bed covers. "The poor dear."<br/><br/>Kate whispers, "Has father and Johh returned?"<br/><br/>Ann replies looking at the young man with a very concerned expression, "Not yet."<br/><br/>Kate nods, "When he awakes he will be starving and in pain."<br/><br/>Ann covers the sleeping Skye, "Kate, can he be trusted?"<br/><br/>Kate nods, "Get Captain Artimus. I trust him. I fear he will be harmed. Please don't let Sara in. He does not need a star stuck girl telling her friends a pit figher is here."
