I'VE FINISHED EXAMS MWHAHAHA..now i can write ! Please enjoy, and review and what not :) xx

The dream occurred as it did every night. Always the same.

The dungeon was cold and damp, chilling her to the bone and making her shiver, though it was not the full cause of her tremors.

Everything was lost it seemed, doubtful, perhaps even hopeless.

However, just as she felt the tears prick her eyes a surge of light appeared from the top of the stairs, immediately flooding the room with sun, so bright that her irises burned.

The light, as bright as it was blocked any view she had, instead making what appeared to look like a halo around a masculine, tall figure running breathlessly down the stairs and into the dark space. DUSTFINGER.

In that moment, he couldn't have looked more perfect, blonde hair messy and eyes wide, with a mixture of adrenalin and something else she couldn't pinpoint.

Putting that thought to the back of her mind, Meggie sprang to the bars of her cellar and with barely restrained excitement exclaimed "I'd knew you'd come!- everyone else...well they thought you were too much of a coward, but not me, I knew deep down that you're courageous-"

But before she could continue, Dustfinger had let out a noise of anguish, interrupting her as he cut her off "No, Meggie stop. Just STOP" he told her firmly, and in such a tone that Meggie instantly shrank into the shadows as she became aware of the full reality of things, he hadn't come to save her at all, there would be no reprieve, no escape.

In the shadows she studied his handsome features, seeing a mixture of guilt and fear cover them.

Till now she'd always thought it to make him more human, more vulnerable.

Now she realised, it only made him weak.

Turning her back on him she slunk further into the shadows, her long blonde curls no longer catching the sun as her heart slowly broke.

"Please Meggie- I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't need it." He spoke quietly, but she heard him nontheless, turning around to see him pull the final copy of inkheart out of his jacket.

"I want to go home" he spoke softly, in such a pleading tone that Meggie was about to fulfil his wish, but reaching for the book she hesitated and looked at him full on.

She once again studied his profile, handsome as always with his signature scar on his cheek, his eyes pitifully vulnerable and realised exactly what the problem was.

"You're so desperate to return home to your precious wife that you would leave me here to rot" it wasn't a question but he answered anyway "Meggie I'm no hero, I'm not the hero you think I am."

His eyes had shifted to the floor as he couldn't bear to look her in the eyes as her soft reply cut him deeply "No, and i'm not your hero either Dustfinger" and with that she pushed the book back towards him and turned her back, her eyes filled with darkness and she finally let the tears fall as she heard him leave.

Waking up she felt the sweat cling to her nightgown, and became aware that it was still the middle of the night.

The room was pitch black and she became aware that she wasn't alone as a prickling sensation rose across the back of her neck and gave her goosebumps on her arms.

"What is it you want?" she asked the shadows, absently tugging at her provocative and now very see through nightgown, allowing cold air to cover her body.

She swept her hair off her neck and to the right of her shoulder, allowing the waves to cascade down.

The shadows replied with "what I always want" in a deep and lust filled tone.

Unsurprised by this, Meggie looked up for the first time and met Capricorns ice blue eyes, a smile pricking her lips.
