Meggie rode on with Farid in search of Basta. They had never done such a thing before. Jink was with them, hunting and following with his small beady eyes, his silky black fur shining in the moonlight.
"We shall meet them at dawn" Said Farid, checking to see if Meggie was alright.
"I know, how far do we need to go?" asked Meggie.
"Not far now." They had been travelling all night and could not wait to rest and meet the people they needed to meet.
"Cosimo will not be able to contain his excitement when he sees us," said Meggie.
When they finally reached the castle on the other side of the forest Meggie and Farid checked the grounds to try and find any clues about what they were searching for. They went inside and saw Brianna and Cosimo sat at the throne. Meggie did not hesitate to ask.
"Where is he?"
"Where is who, Basta your best friend?" Brianna replied.
"Go Brianna I don't want you to get hurt." Cosimo ordered. Things were heating up inside the castle walls and nothing could stop Farid using his skills with fire to get the truth out of Cosimo.
"Well…" Meggie asked again.
"He left a note but your husband here burnt it and tried to cover it up.
"Wait! I did no such thing, Meggie has been with me since the day I first laid eyes on her, and she knows I wouldn't do anything like that." Farid said uncertainly.
"So what do we do now?" Asked Meggie.
