Don't Want to Say Goodbye
I was peacefully asleep, for the first time in a long time. That is until I heard voices and I was pulled from my happy rest.
"Where are you going?" Gregory asked and I groaned, opening my eyes to see Rudolph and Anna.
"Oh my god! Meg! What happened?!" Rudolph exclaimed, hugging me and I rubbed his back gently.
"Tony's in trouble, we must go find him." Anna explained and Rudolph let me go.
"You stay here." He said, closing the lid to the basket and I huffed, holding Gregory tighter.
"Sleep my love, everything will be alright soon." I nodded, letting myself drift off once again.
"All the children are gone…well, all our children. Meg sweetheart. Sweetie, wake up." My eyes opened carefully and I noticed I was face to face with Freda. "Where are our children?"
"Rudolph and Anna went to save Tony, he was in trouble…when I went to sleep Gregory was still here."
"The medallion, he's taken it." Fredrick said, standing. I got up, following them outside and to the front door where they charmed Tony's parents into taking them to the cliffs.
"Meg! Oh My God! Sweetheart!" Dottie exclaimed and everyone turned to look at me, The Sackville-Baggs seeing me in the light for the first time. "Who did this to you? Please? You have to let someone help you."
"My father…he gets drunk and comes home angry. He just left on a business trip, this was his way of saying goodbye." I felt arms around me and I noticed it was Freda, unshed bloody tears in her eyes.
"When we return you will stay with us. We will not let you live in that home for 2 more years."
"Of course not." Fredrick spoke. "We must go now Bob." Everyone walked to the car, or in my case, limped. Somewhere on the way I felt an arm around my waist and myself being lifted up. Fredrick was carrying me to the car. I sat in between the Sackville-Baggs in the car, and we got to the cliffs quickly, where I saw Gregory on the edge, swinging the medallion. I was carried back out and with them to the cliff. "Thank you my son." He said making Gregory grin and swing the necklace faster while Anna explained where Tony and Rudolph were. Gregory handed the necklace back to his father and took me into his arms quickly, kissing me happily. "She is yours? How did we not notice?" Fredrick questioned.
"I don't know father, but once we come back she will be staying with us, I cannot let her-"
"Of course she is son, we wouldn't have it any other way." Freda told him and he hugged me tightly. I held him to me, refusing to let go, knowing this would be the last time I would hold him for while.
"After all of our wandering, all of our waiting, I've put the fate of our lives in 2 small boys. I won't even ask your forgiveness, I don't deserve it." I sighed, hugging Gregory tighter, knowing he would need me here if this didn't work out.
"Tony's near." Anna stated and everyone looked at her.
"Where?" Dottie asked.
"There." She pointed and we all turned to look.
"Taaaakke Coovveeeerr!" Tony shouted as he and Rudolph landed. "I think you've been looking for this."
"The Stone Of Attamon Is Ours!" Fredrick shouted before beginning the ceremony.
"You'll come back for me, right?"
"Yes my love. Wait for me. I promise I will be back. I love you."
"I love you too. I'm so happy for you." I pressed my lips against his one last time just as everyone gasped. I spun around seeing a blimp coming up from below the cliff.
"Okay. That's enough!" Bob yelled, walking up to Rookery and punching him in the face. Rookery staggered back but turned to see Dottie and held up the cross.
"I don't think so!" She then punched him so hard that the stone flew out of his hand making Tony catch it.
"I'm done with this jack ass!" I hissed walking over to where he stood about to go after Tony. "Is it too much to ask for a little happiness? Just a little? You're not ruining this! I'm going to be safe, My boyfriend is going to be human, and We're going to live happily ever after! I get the only thing I have ever wanted! And do you know what you get?" His eyebrows shot up in question and I smirked. "A swift kick to the nuts!" I shouted, lifting my leg and watching him double over. I then slammed my fist into his face, and gave him one big shove, right off the cliff.
"Tony! You know what we want! Wish it! You have to wish it! Now!" Rudolph yelled and Tony held up the stone. I ran over to Gregory just as red smoke began to appear around them.
"I love you! Until later?"
"Until later my love." He kissed me one final time before disappearing all together.
"What did you wish for?" Bob asked and I sighed, walking over and hugging Tony, shedding tears just as he did.
