I Will Always Find A Way Back To You! Chapter 4: This Sucks, an inkheart fanfic

Chapter Four

Meggie's Point of View

Farid and I woke at noon the next day and were on our way a half hour later. I knew that I had to get to Mo and Resa so I didn't pick a fight with him. There was one question on my mind that I just had to ask him. When we stopped for the night, I watched as Farid caught two rabbits. After we ate and were just sitting around the fire I gathered the needed courage and asked, "Farid? How...how many times over the past 5 years have you thought of me?"

"Too many to count. A day didn't go by without me thinking of you. I was always planning on how to find you and get you out of your prison. I always was thinking of you. I am hoping that you will forgive me. It may take time and I hope that you will let me earn your trust back. I am truly sorry for letting you go..."

"Thank you. That's what I needed to hear. Farid...I do trust you...it's just that you didn't try to save me. You never looked my way a second time..."

"I know. That was the worst night of my life. I never let myself forget what happened. I will always remember and try to never repeat it."

"Thank you." was all I said as I ran across to him and tackled him. He fell on the ground and I was on top of him. We were kissing softly at first then passionately. The one kiss held 5 years of love from both of us.

Soon we moved into a copse of trees where there was more privacy. As we were kissing I started to remove Farid's shirt but something stopped me. I looked up and instead of seeing him, I saw something else.

Farid's Point of View

We had already eaten when Meggie asked me, "Farid? How...how many times over the past 5 years have you thought of me?"

"Thank you. That's what I needed to hear. Farid...I do trust you...it's just that you didn't try to save me. You never looked my way a second time..."

"I know. That was the worst night of my life. I never let myself forget what happened. I will always remember and try to never repeat it."

"Thank you." was all she said as she ran across to me and tackled me. I fell on the ground and she was on top of me. We were kissing softly at first then passionately. The one kiss held 5 years of love from both of us.

Soon we moved into a copse of trees where there was more privacy. As we were kissing, something pulled me off of her. That thing put some type of board on her. When she looked up she saw the person holding me up in the air.

"Well little fire eater I see you have a girlfriend." said someone. I tried to get away but couldn't.

"Let Farid go you...you jackass." yelled Meggie. I saw her kick out at the person. I squirmed and was free instantly.

"Ow. That hurt you little...witch. Farid tell her to stop thrashing on the ground." said the man.

"How...how do you know me?" I asked.

"You mean you don't recognize me?"

"No...unless...DUSTFINGER! Wow, you look different. What did you do to your face? I mean it looks great."

"Dustfinger? I..I haven't seen you in so long!" Meggie said, blushing. "I'm sorry for kicking you. I thought..."

"It's not that bad. I can understand why you were scared. My apologies for scaring you and Farid here."

"So how's Roxanne?" I asked, not really caring.

"She's fine. She and I have a son now. He's four and a half. Very smart lad too."

"Yeah, um, Dustfinger why did you decide to interrupt us?" I asked.

"Well Silvertongue would have killed me if I allowed a boy that I cared after hurt his daughter. He actually sent me to find you two. Apparently you were supposed to be there yesterday. Did you already...?"

"No. You interrupted."

"Can we just get going? I can't wait to see Mo and Resa again." asked Meggie.

Dustfinger's Point of View

I had been following their trail for more than a day now. The two probably got lost. Why do I have to look for them? I have a boy to teach now. I'm busier than Silvertongue and Resa. Of course they have someone to take care of too now. I was walking along a fresh trail when I saw the markings of a fresh camp. It was soon after that I saw the two disappearing into a copse of trees. Dammit. He's going to get into trouble with Silvertongue if I don't stop them. That boy's hormones need to control themselves. I ran to the copse of trees and pulled the boy off of her before anything got started.

Meggie looked up and stared angrily.

"Well little fire eater I see you have a girlfriend." I said. He tried to get away but couldn't.

"Let Farid go you...you jackass." yelled Meggie. I saw her kick out at the me. He squirmed and was free instantly.

"Ow. That hurt you little...witch. Farid tell her to stop thrashing on the ground." I said.

"How...how do you know me?" He asked.
