We walked out and when we were, I climbed up on top of Bear.
"You might just be too nice."
"Well, hey! It's better then being mean!" It started getting late, so I kept getting tired.
After awhile, I heard the Black Prince say, "We're here."
I was laying on Bear, but after he said that, I sat up.
A farm.
I forgot about Roxane living on a farm. I also feel like I'm forgetting something else, But I don't remember. When we went through the little gate, I remembered and it was too late. The noise was so loud that I thought that I was going to pass out. I ducked down as far as I could on Bear, trying to block out that stupid goose!
When it finally stopped, I peeked up to see the ones that I was looking for. Before I called out to them, though, I remembered something else.
Whatever happened to Tristan?
"Lexi. . . But. . . Why are you here?" Before I could wonder anymore, Farid was standing right next to me. All I could do was stare at him. I jumped on him and made us fall on the ground.
I laid on top of him with my arms around his neck.
"Farid! Oh, my god! I missed you! I just had to come and see you!"
"Lexi. . . I. . . I can't breathe. . ." Farid whispered.
"Oops!" I pulled away, stood up and went running for Dustfinger. I hugged him, but he didn't hug me back. I looked up at him.
"Why are you here? I thought we would never see you again."
I smiled.
"I'm here because I really missed you and Farid! I couldn't stay away!"
He pushed me away, shaking his head. I stopped smiling and cocked my head to the side to look at him.
"What?" I whispered.
"Lexi. . . I have Roxane now. Not you. . . You just don't understand." He sighed. I puffed out my cheeks.
"I would call you something, but I don't say cuss words. . . I'm going to sleep with Farid. . . I am really tired." I walked off. I held onto Farid and pouted. "Farid! Dustfinger's being mean!" I cried.
I knocked him down again so he held onto me.
"He didn't mean to. . . He just didn't think he would ever see you again."
"Really? Huh. . . Well, anyways. . . I got you something!"
I dug to find it and when I did, I gave it to him. When he took it, I noticed the bracelet I gave him before I read him back here. I gasped.
"What? Did you think I wouldn't wear it?" I smirked at him. Dustfinger and the Black Prince talked while I told Farid what's happened since he and Dustfinger left. I was getting tired, so I laid my head down on Farid's lap.
"Are you awake?" I opened my eyes, looked up at him and gave him a sleepy smile.
"I'm awake. . . Just really tired. . . So, do you like it here?" He didn't answer me, though, because Dustfinger picked me up.
"Huh?"
"I thought you weren't able to read yourself into books. . . So, why and how did you get here?" My head popped up because I remembered.
"Tristan!" I whispered, remembering that I haven't seen him since I passed out in the Black Princes arms. I looked at the Black Prince. "Hey! When you first saw me, did you see a guy with white hair?" I ask him, but he just shook his head.
"Who's he? Who are you talking about?" Dustfinger ask me.
"Dustfinger. . . Tristan is the masked man from my dream. He's the one who brought me here." I whispered, but I didn't want to wait any longer, so I went limp all over.
"Lexi? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, but. . . You know how I am with my sleep. I love sleeping and I'm really tired." I cried. He set me down and it almost made me fall. We said bye and me and Prince left. When we got back, I changed into my PJ's. Which is pajama pants and a big T-shirt.
We ate and I was ready to go to sleep.
"Okay, time to go to bed. You can sleep in the tent."
I looked up at him.
"But. . . Can't I sleep outside? I really want to."
"Fine, but. . . Doria! Come here!" Prince yelled. I flinched at first since I was sitting right next to him. A young man came running over.
"Yes, Prince?"
"Doria, this is Lexi and she wants to sleep outside. So, I'm trusting you to keep her safe while she sleeps. . . Can you do that?" I just stared up at him. He looked down at me, and nodded.
"Yes, I can. . . But why do I have to?" I stood up, but not without almost falling, and glared at him with my hands on my hips.
"Why are you asking? Why not just do it?" I ask him, being kinda sassy.
Prince just smiled.
"Don't worry, I'd just rather be safe then sorry." Prince reassured him. I yawned.
I don't know how, but the next thing I knew, me and Doria were under a tree.
"Here. . . Lay down, go to sleep. You can cover up with this blanket." I sat up and stared at him.
"No."
"No? What do you mean 'No'?"
"If your going to stay up, I'll stay up. . . If you want me to sleep, then you sleep, too." I insisted. He shook his head and sighed. "There is one thing you should know about me, Doria. . . Once I say I'm going to do something, nothing can change my mind about it." He looked at me, having the same look that Dustfinger gave me a lot.
"Fine. . . But don't get up unless I know about it. . . Alright?"
I smiled and nodded. We both laid down, but I tried not to cuddle. I ended up turning on my side and cuddling with him and I was out cold. When I woke up in the morning, Doria was still asleep. I got up and went pee. When I came back, he was sleeping still. I had taken off my T-shirt when I was sleeping because I'm not wearing it now. I sat down and watched Doria as he slept.
Is he the same Doria that loved Meggie? If so, he is cute, but not really as cute as Dustfinger and Farid.
"How long have you been awake?"
I jumped.
"Oh. . . Uh. . . Not long. Did I wake you?" He sat up and shook his head.
"No. . . But you should have woken me up because I'm supposed to keep an eye on you. How am I supposed to do that if I'm sleeping while your awake?"
I giggled, smiled at him and gave him a hug.
"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" I said, "See? Now. . . Chase me." I stood up and started running.
"Hey! Get back here!"
