Chapter 1 : Awaking
Meggie sat alone on the bed in her room, and stared on a piece of paper in her hands.
This shred, that should change everything…
Impossible.
It was forbidden; and she knew it.
But nonetheless she couldn´t resist.
"After all, they´re just the words of my mother, and not Fenoglio´s. So what damage could a simple renarration cause ?"
Again and again she had allied herself with those words, while she had plotted.
Carefully she searched for words in the text, that had been newly inweaved.
They seemed like parasites, misfits, enqueued in this sea out of letters, that were standing just like this in the original edition of inkheart.
Inkheart…
With this it had all begun..
…and finally ended.
Her mother was here again, though mute but apart from it in a good state, and they had got rid of all the disagreeableness.
Everything had turned back to normal.
Almost everything…
From the time on, Resa had told her everything about the inkworld, her curiosity and her longing had been awaked :
I wonder, what it would be like, to be really there,
To be with everyone from the book ?
What it would be like, to graze through the wayless forest, and to explore the castle of the Bacon Prince…?
But no, it was prohibited for her.
Mo was simply too worried, that something there, in the other world, could happen to her.
…and so her plan had been formed :
She would bring the inkworld to herself.
Meggie doubted, that the downwritten words of her mother would be mighty enough, to get her into a plight.
The only she wanted, was to hear, ..to smell..-and maybe for a little tiny moment to see something from this strange world- she added quietly in her mind.
So she concentrated with all her might, as she finally read Resa´s words out loud :
You have to imagine the inkworld as a mix between of our world and the one, of one of the fairy tale books you own.
The world around you is filled with life, even the deepest angels of the wayless forest, if you just look close enough.
When she just closed her eyes for a short moment, she were almost able to recognise the huge trees of the forest, to inhale the strange air, and to hear all the fairies around her, how they laughed and chirped…
And can you still recall what Mo once told you about the middle age ?
The people there live just like that.
There are pawns, mountebanks, knights, princes…I guess it´s not necessary to enumerate the rest, since you know of it all too well.
Just in one thing they have the pull of us :
M a g i c
You´ve read right, Meggie, Magic.
Or at least it borders on it…
If you just could have seen, what feats the driving people are capable of..
But be not blinded by it :
At the first sight this world may be good, but inside of it evil is lurking…
Just think of the men Capricorn had commanded, the arsonists, who-
Suddenly the smell of the other world vanished, and the fluttering of the wings of the fairies died.
It seemed, as if all the noises had been robbed abruptly out of her room...
And all of sudden He was standing there.
A somewhat bully, tall man in red arsonist garb, with a dagger, easy to be seen at his belt, had suddenly appeared in her room.
Oh god,…
Just what have I done !
I never ever even had imagined, that something like this could happen !
He seemed visibly confused, and she hoped imploringly, that he would stay in this unharming mood for awhile.
She tried to behave as inconspicuously as possible, and quietly creeped next to her bed..as finally Mo entered the room, apparently to check if she was alright.
Before the arsonist could even begin to let his hand wander to his knife, Mo had already beat him unconscious with a baseball bat.
As if in trance, he ran away, just to return with a robe in the next moment, he got from the work shop.Instantly he began to tie the intruder with it.
Visible exhausted he raised, and noticed Meggie, who has creeped from next to the bed onto it again, and who had seen everything he had done.
"Meggie,…what do you want to say for your defence, before I give you a book ban to safe us all from greater damage ?"
"I just thought, that at least one time the words would be safe…"
"Meggie darling…as much as I hate it to tell you this, but :..for us, the words will never be safe.."
And never she should know, what happened because of what she had done…..

Silence……………Darkness……………

Peace………………………………
Noises…?
Somewhat terrified he opened his eyes, and examined the surroundings of the world, that was his home.
