2000
MEANWHILE, Meghan had packed and left school for good due to Liz's disappearance. King Rhyndoryst wasn't taking any chances, he wanted everyone back at home.
Despite Meghan's plead that she had only one more semester to go and then she could be called a legal lawyer, no one listened to her.
As smart as she was, she noticed Spencer had stopped coming to school long before she packed her things to leave.
She thought to herself; if I can get a hold of Spencer, he'll lead me to Liz. But the question now was; where was Spencer? Greg would know exactly where Spencer was. "Hey can I come in?"
"What do you want?" Greg said abruptly.
"I came to see you Greg" she advanced to him and continued; "I've been really lonely this few days. I just... I just needed someone to lean on..."
"I don't understand what you mean by that Megh". They sat down.
She sat opposite him saying; "since my sister left, no one has been talking to me or giving me attention. I just needed someone---"
"And that someone is me?"
"I love you Greg" a tear dropped.
Greg felt he was dreaming. This couldn't possibly be real, he stood up from where he sat, giving him a distance from where Meghan sat.
"Greg please if you know where my sister is, please tell me. Let the search be over with and let me have my life back" she pleaded, tears flowing.
"What do you mean have your life back?"
"I dropped out of school few months ago because of Liz" the tears continued.
"I'm sorry" Greg wondered if she was just pretending or, no way she was really begging!
She came forward, seducing him with her hands, saying; "I couldn't find Spencer when I was in school" she increased her touch; "I thought mayhap, if I can find Spencer, I'll find Liz" the touch was starting to make Greg loose his mind; "do you happen to know where Spencer is?" She whispered softly, seducing him the more.
"I don't know" Greg whispered back to her.
"Don't tell me you don't know Greg. Spencer is your friend" she said in a low soft whisper.
"Stop it Meghan!" He thundered realizing himself.
"Stop what?" She tried to play a fool but he raised his index finger signaling her to stop acting.
She was fed up; "Don't tell me to stop it Greg! Don't you dare change the topic! Where is Spencer?!" She warned.
"Leave my room" Greg ordered.
"I'm going no where till you talk" she stood her ground.
"What do you want from me?!" He yelled at her.
"The whereabout of that little brat" the crocodile tears had suddenly disappeared from her eyes.
"You can say all you want but you're not getting a reply from me" Greg said.
Her heart was thrown apart.
"I'll surprise you"she said spitefully.
"I should be more surprised you said you love me" he replied, making her bite her lip. Greg was really getting on her nerves now.
"I'll find Spencer and when I do..." She stopped there, took her bag and left.
Greg had the instinct to take the wine bottle and shove it through her brains or strangle her till she passes out and tie her inside one of his rooms in the house till she dies of hunger but he was better than that.
Meghan cursed and swore as she wore her shoes properly in his porch. She couldn't believe Greg didn't fall in her trap. After bringing down her pride and fooling herself, she groaned miserably and left.
