Im not sure how to add chapters but ill just add on to the first story...
Meggie woke to the yowl of a cat. She bolted upright in her mossy bed, dislodging Farid's arm from around her waist. Doria slept near them, his face turned to the wall. The rest of the robbers, including Resa and Roxane, slept in their usual clumps. I wonder if Mo's still ... No, don't think about Mo or the Black Price. There had been no sign of life from either of them, and all the robbers knew was that they both went out to a farm near Ombra a couple weeks ago. A group went out after them, but they still had to return. As hard as she tried, Meggie just couldn't sleep. She rose, stretching in the cool, crisp air outside the cave. The two robbers on guard, Taklo and Yogi, were asleep. Probably drunk thought Meggie. But that would make it easier for her to slip out of camp, unnoticed. Then she encountered a strange feeling. Usually, Meggie strolled along the bubbling stream, with Farid. But now, her feet led her into a shady path, bordered with strange smelling ferns. Farther along the path, there was an old rock, cracked with age and covered with ivy. But something about the rock made Meggie want to touch it, to caress it the same way she did with Farid. Her slender fingers brushed away some fronds of bracken near the base of the rock, and she found something was written there.
During times of dark and despair, when a friend becomes an enemy, three will come, and shake your beliefs to it's roots.
Meggie assumed it was gibberish, but something about those ominous words troubled that stout oak; wasn't that Basta? Or over there, in those pines, was that Capricorn? And was that knife in his hand dripping with blood!? Stop imagining things, Meggie She told herself sternly. Suddenly, all she wanted to do was to curl up in Farid's safe, warm arms and lie there forever. Running now, picking up speed as she went, Meggie flew down the path, her golden locks streaming out behind her, Meggie crashed into a tall, slender girl. She had lovely deep blue eyes, straight black hair, and a confident smile. Brooke turned to the blond- haired boy next to her, and said "I told you these mountains had someone living in them, Justin!"
