Chapter 2

"GET UP!!" The Magpie ordered harshly, taking Meggie by the shoulders and pulling her upright.

Meggie had to get up, she had no choice. She stood weakly and with her tear steaked face, looked ahead.

Capricorn! He was right infront of her! She backed up slightly, but, The Magpie was right behind her, so, she was forced to stay where she was.

No.. thought Meggie as Capricorns hand extended and touched her face gently. She closed her eyes, as not to look at him. She felt his hand for more then two minutes before he took it away. She had never been so relieved in her life.

Capricorn looked at Basta. "That'll do for today, take her to the old mans room and lock the door." He said cold heartedly.

Meggie said nothing. After all, why should she? Both of her parents were dead now, she had nothing left to fight for.

So, she let herself be pulled away by Basta and they walked upto the castle again. Once they were in, Meggie was put into the writers room. She was locked in.
