Our Escapade from Capricorn’s Village

What have I just done? First, I deceived Meggie and Mo and damn it, now I’m hurting Resa too. Just lie, lie, lie – that’s all I do! I hate going behind Mo’s back.

It all started when I found out that Resa was the wife of Mo and that little girl’s mother. I swore to myself that I would tell Mo and we would break Resa out, but then they decided to escape… Everything happened so fast that I just didn’t have a chance to tell them. I still remember her; she was desperate for my help and trapped in that tiny room. I could have done something but I just left her there! Mo will never read me back into Inkheart now, not when he finds out I left Resa behind in Capricorn’s village. Am I meant to feel happy that I escaped, or terrible because I left Resa behind?

To be honest, I feel terrible. Do I betray Mo by not telling him? Or should I tell him the truth and risk never seeing my own family ever again? I hate this feeling but I know I must tell Mo. He’s going to find out one day now, so I guess it’s better for him to find out the right way. Giving Mo the truth will mean we might be able to break back into the castle to help Resa escape, then Mo will forgive me and read me back into the world of Inkheart! Yes, this sounds like the perfect plan. I’m going to talk to Mo.
