Meggie was shocked. She stared at Sam, who stared back, confused. Meggie had told Sam everything about her, just not the other half. She didn't know how Sam would take it; would she be angry that Meggie had kept something so big from her? She decided she needed to be honest. After all, Sam had told her, trusted her, and expected her to understand. Why couldn't she do the same?
"You don't believe me, do you? I know it sounds completely insane, but Meggie, I swear I'm not lying. Please try to believe me, I…I'm not lying…"
"Sam, you're not going crazy, I know you're not lying, I believe you."
She was silent.
"You're just saying that."
"No! No, I'm not."
"How am I supposed to know that? How am I supposed to know that you believe me? How do I know you don't just think I'm crazy, and you're trying to get me to shut up?"
"Because you're not crazy −"
"How can you say that!? How can you believe me!? I come out of nowhere telling you I can read things out of books, and you just BELIEVE me?!"
"Sam, stop yelling," Meggie hissed.
"Sorry."
"I don't think anyone heard…" Meggie assumed as she looked around.
"'Kay, but really Meggie, you can't honestly believe this?"
"I can, you cant."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Meggie sighed in frustration, how could she explain?
"Um, well…I can do it too."
"What? Meggie, stop, this isn't funny."
"But I can," Meggie persisted, thinking back to Inkheart, and Dunstfinger, and Roxanne, and, and….Farid, "I really can, and I can prove it."
Sam stared at her for a long time, not saying anything. When she finally spoke, she said exactly what Meggie had been dreading.
"Why didn't you tell me before," she asked. Meggie could hear the anger in her voice.
Meggie sighed, " I didn't think you'd believe me…And for your safety, as well as mine."
"Ummm…..okay, right…for our safety? What's so dangerous about that," she said, giving Meggie an look.
Meggie could tell she still wasn't buying this.
"Tomorrow night. I'll tell you everything then."
"Okay," she said, her jaw tight.
REVIEW! please! i dont care if you think it stinks, i'll really appreciate it if you just tell me that it stinks. I'll love you forever if you tell me WHY it stinks ;)
