this is from my fanfic of Inkheart it does have some lines from the actual book from it but that is just so i can tell where it goes

i'm in love with Dustfinger and the book Inkheart so i created a character named Sapphire (to go with the whole weird name thing) plus i love the name

anyway i wrote some parts from the very first part of the book and i want to know what people think

i write a lot but i dont know how well since i dont feel safe posting things i could potentially publish so tell me what you think

the page number that the scene is from is before the passage

Pg. 4: “He’s not a burglar,” replied Mo, but as he stepped back from the window his face was so grave that Meggie’s heart thudded faster than ever. “Is that the only figure you saw?” Meggie nodded. Meggie could see Mo’s eyes darting to window but he steadied them. “Go back to bed, Meggie,” he said. “This visitor has come to see me.”

Pg. 5: “A very long time,” he said looking past his visitor as if he expected to see another figure emerge from the night. “And where is Sapphire does she not cling to you as if you were a magnet anymore?” Dustfinger suppressed a smile. “She’s here somewhere, you know she loves the rain.” Within the next minute a girl of about seventeen had stepped up next to Dustfinger. She was drenched from head to toe with water, and like Dustfinger she was wearing a long coat. Her black hair clung to her face and made her look like a ragdoll. She stared unblinkingly at Mo, and an uneasy silence set upon them. Meggie couldn’t tell what emotion the girl was feeling but for some reason it made her feel even more uneasy. Meggie stood quietly in the hall until Mo finally broke the silence. “Come in, you’ll catch your death. Meggie says you’ve been standing out there for sometime.”

Pg. 7: The girl who had come with Dustfinger emerged from the shadows. Meggie remembered Mo calling her Sapphire. She gazed quizzically at Meggie who felt awkward from the stare. The dull light seemed to accentuate the girl’s paleness. “Didn’t your father tell you not to listen,” whispered Sapphire. Meggie pretended not to hear, she didn’t however seem offended about being ignored. She turned and leaned on the wall next to Mo’s workshop, with her eyes closed.

Pg. 10: Meggie couldn’t help but notice that every time Dustfinger spoke Sapphire’s lips curled into a smile.

Pg. 10: Meggie heard a chair being pushed back and turned to scurry back to her room as she went she heard Sapphire call, in a voice that she was positive only she could hear, “Your feet will betray you!” Meggie didn’t understand what Sapphire had said but she didn’t have time to question what she meant for at that moment the door to the workshop opened. She was just able to close her bedroom door as Mo led Dustfinger out into the hallway.

thank you and please dont be too cruel
