Gaining trust

After i went Invisible, a Squirrel came and when Meggie tried to pet it but it started to get angry and tried to scare her, so that was when i held her hand in my hand. And she didn't said anything but it seemed to have calmed her down. So she didn't panicked much, that was when dust finger showed up and started talking about Meggie. but it seems Meggie was not ok with talking to him so i put my hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear, if you want we can get away from here. To which she nodded. That was when Dust finger said something that stopped Meggie in place.

D.Finger: You know i knew you when you were little, you look like your mother especially your eye.

Meggie: you knew my mother.

i saw it, she was shaking, so i tightened my hold on her hand reassuring her that i was with her no matter what.

while he was blabbing i didn't do anything else, since i didn't want to destroy my good image in front of her. And left that to her father who i saw was coming out of the Book shop.

then Dust finger started talking to her father.

D.Finger: hello silver tongue, i was just talking to your daughter.

Mortimer: Meggie, go sit in the car. he is just an ..old friend.

Meggie: Dad

Mortimer: just do what i say.

Will: its ok, im still here.

when she was moving i still held her hand, holding her hand tight, she was feeling really good from the heat of my hands, since i wanted her to get out of her shell, so i asked her.

Will: Will you really go and sit in the car.

Meggie: so, what do you think i should do.

Will: You know i can make you invisible too if you want. Then you can hear what they are saying without your dad finding out.

Meggie: you can do that?

Will: of course i can, but only if you want me to. And you must remember not to let go of my hand. if you do, the invisibility will wear off.

Meggie: alright, then lets do it.

We got there just in time to hear them talking about the book and when he pushed him away. Before she runs after him, i stopped her and told her that we should wait by the car since he will come there. hearing me she nodded and left albeit a little reluctantly back to van with me. So after going to the car we arrived at the same time as her father, i had already removed her invisibility. And then she asked her question which he didn't answer.

That was how we spent most of our time, when in the van i tried to make her ask some questions, which she did, but all she got was silence in return. And when she got down, i would pat her back or her head, and tried to cheer her up, without her father knowing im here. we spent time like this until we got to our destination, Meggie's Aunt's home. Going inside they met and then her aunt went to make breakfast. This whole time i was by her side, talking with her, making her trust me more and using her need for finding her mother to my advantage. once in our talks i told her.

Will: You know, you are lucky

Meggie: Lucky, lucky how.

Will: i mean you know your mother didn't abandon you, and you can still look for her. while my parent are no more so i can't even look for them, i just move from one place to another without having a place to call my home or someone to call my family.

Meggie: what are you talking about, now you have me don't you, you can call me your family and you can stay with me for as long as you like.

wow, i mean for a sheltered girl, she said something outrageous. And it seems she realized what she just said since she was blushing like crazy. so i did what i should do without taking it too far, and just kissed her on her cheeks and then patted her head and said thank you to her. While she was blushing even more.
