In the morning, by the time I woke up, Farid was still asleep, but Dustfinger was awake. I turned over on my other side to face him, he was playing with fire in his hands. I didn't do anything else, but just stared at him, until Farid woke up. I heard him turn over.
I looked over my shoulder at him, his eyes were open, he was smiling at me and I smiled back.
"Good morning." He whispered to me. I turned over to face him and when I did, he put his arm around me.
"Good morning!" I whispered back.
"Where's Dustfinger?"
I got up and pointed toward a bush. "Over there. He doesn't look happy." I frowned. Even though I'm mad at Dustfinger, I think I might still have feelings for him.
Farid got up, told me to stay where I was and went to go check. I was happy too. I might love Dustfinger, but not enough to see him peeing. I still smiled at the thought of if Farid hadn't thought about that, I came with him and Dustfinger freaked out because I saw him peeing. Who wouldn't laugh or smile at the thought of his face, then?
"Lexi! Come here!" Farid yelled from behind the bushes. I ran over to them, Dustfinger was just standing there, him and Farid looking at me.
"Hey. . . What's up? Did I do something wrong?" The reason I ask that is because of the way they were looking at me. As I looked closer, Dustfinger had tears in his eyes that he was trying to hold back.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I had my back pack with me, in it was Inkspell and Dustfinger had it in his hands. He had it on the page where Farid dies, Then he flipped a few more pages to where Roxane finds Dustfinger dead to the now living Farid. "Why didn't you tell me that I die because Basta kills Farid? I die to bring him back!"
"Lexi. . . He found out." Farid pointed out. I would have yelled at him for saying something like that when I already knew, but now was so not the time.
'When did he get that? I was watching him the whole time and he never once got in my backpack or I would have stopped him!' I thought, walking over to Farid and lifted the back of his shirt to show Dustfinger the scar.
"He got stabbed by Basta right here. . . You felt so sad, so you told Meggie to go tell Roxane that you were going to be gone and that you would always remember the promise. You also told Meggie to ask Roxane to tell her 'That story'." I told Dustfinger. I cried through that whole part. And remembering it now made me almost start crying, again.
The only way I wasn't was that I was holding them back, willing them not to fall no matter what.
I cried from the moment Farid died to the end of the book, because once I read Farid's death, I knew what was coming, but when Roxane walked in to see Dustfinger laying there dead and Farid moving, I couldn't take it any longer and I kind of threw the book across the room and lost my place. But, of course, I knew what happens and I so badly wanted to tell them, but I didn't think I should.
"Stop looking at me like that! Your going to make me wanna tell you even more!" I realized what I said after it came out of my mouth, and when I did, I covered it right away.
They looked at me. "What do you know?"
"Well. . . Farid's out of the book right after you die. . . And I know thing's from after that and I'm not telling you two any of it!" I held my hands up in protest, shaking my head. Dustfinger walked over tome, put his hands on my shoulders and started shaking me gently.
"Please, Lexi. . . Please tell me what happens. . . I died, so you have to tell me because I know you feel sorry for us. So, please tell me, Lexi!"
'Wow. . . I've never seen, let alone heard, Dustfinger plead like this before.' I thought. I didn't want to, but I couldn't help it since they were looking at me with such pleading eyes.
I sighed.
"Fine. . . Even though Dustfinger dies while bringing Farid back to life, I don't know when, but Mo goes to make a deal with death and, I can't remember all of it, Mo ends up coming back with Dustfinger and when you do come back, all of your scars are gone." I told them. They just stared, shocked at what all I just told them. It made me giggle. They're faces looked so funny.
"Lexi. . . Is that true?" They both ask in unison. I nodded.
"Yep. . . Not even Farid knows that. . . but wait, if both of you are here, then none of that would happen." I whispered that last part to only I could hear. We went on with our day, forgetting about all the bad stuff.
Hi! Now I know this was short but I got to a time skip!
