I still own nothing and it saddens me. Right on with the story.
Chapter 2-...
Mo-
The man named Mo stopped reading as gold cascaded out of the book. He looked over to smile at his daughter, but his daughter was not there.
"Meggie," he called out, but there was no response.
"Meggie," he called again this more anxious than the first. Suddenly realization dawned on him. Mo looked down at the book in this hands. He had read his own daughter into a book just as he had with his wife. He collapsed to floor clutching the book to is chest.
"Meggie," he whispered to himself, "what have I done?" This being said Mo let the tears flow down his face. The splattered like little rain drops on the stone floor of Capricorn's church.
Meggie-
"Well you can call me Farid," the boy said. With the reassurance that Farid was not going to hurt her; Meggie for the first time since her arrival stopped and took in detail. Farid was very tan and he had deep brown eyes. He looked o be about fifteen or sixteen and he was wearing only shorts with a turban -although pieces of black hair were sticking out from underneath the turban.
"Meggie," Farid asked, "are going to run away if I untie you?" Meggie thought carefully trying to take in every detail of the situation she found herself in.
"No," she answered truthfully. Farid did a double take.
"Why!?" he asked bewildered.
"Because i have no where else to go," Meggie paused then continued, "I don't belong and i don't know how to go about that."
"If you don't belong here," Farid asked reaching behind Meggie in order to release her, "where do you belong?"
"In a different world," Meggie replied. Farid had now completely un-done the knots and Meggie rubbed her wrist trying to the circulation flowing again. Farid sat down next to her and leaned back against the pole.
"What's different about it?" he asked. The curiosity was clear in his tone.
"A lot of things," Meggie said, "parts of my world look like this while other parts have sweeping green hills and forests," Meggie pictured the old barn her and had lived in, but that seamed like ages ago from where she was sitting. Oh Mo, she thought, please find a way to bring me back home. She didn't want to talk about home. It made her wish for it even more than she did without thinking about home. Meggie had been in this world no more than a few hour and see was already homesick.
"So...," Meggie said trying to change the topic. Farid looked at her expectantly, but she couldn't think of new topic, "never mind I forgot what i was going to say."
"You look weary," Farid noticed, "do you want to sleep?" Meggie hadn't realized up till then but she was indeed very tired. Meggie nodded in response.
"Go ahead then," Farid said gesturing over to his bed roll. Meggie was to tired to object.
"Thank you," Meggie said standing up. She brushed most all the sand off of her and laid down on her side falling asleep instantly.
Farid-
Farid watched Meggie as she slept. She is rather pretty, he thought. Farid walked over and knelt beside her sleeping form. Meggie's skin looked so soft he wanted to touch it and see if it was as soft as he thought, but he resisted the temptation. She can't be older than thirteen, he thought to himself. This time Farid did not resist; he gently stroked Meggie's cheek with his thumb. Her talk of another world interested him. He wondered how the grass would feel under his toes and how it cool it would be under the trees in the forest. Suddenly Farid felt tired. He laid down beside Meggie on the bed. Before falling asleep himself Farid brushed Meggie's hair out of her face. Then he turned over so that his back was facing Meggie and fell into a silent slumber.
Dariad-
The leader of the thieves watched the boy as he interacted with the girl. He was curious as to what Farid would do. He didn't actually think that Farid would rape the girl but he wanted to know all the same and his thoughts were confirmed as he told the girl that he wouldn't hurt her. Meggie, he thought, such a peculiar name.Dariad watched as the two young lings talked.
"You look weary, do you want to sleep?" he heard Farid say. Dariad watched as Meggie nodded then laid down. Once she was asleep he watched Farid kneel down in front of her. What is that look in his eyes, Dariad thought, is it caring, no it can't be caring, caring just is not in the nature of thieves.Dariad watched the boy reach out and touch the girl's cheek then her hair as well.Yes it is caring, he thought, that it sort of sweet it's to bad that I'll to fix the caring problem. Maybe a little punishment will help. Dariad smiled at the thought of the pain he would deliver. His last thought before sleep overcame him was whether to use the whip or the knife.
