Chapter Ten: Discovery

For many months, Nicole and Morpheus were able to see each other without an issue. She would go to University and then every now and then she would go on 'dates' with Morpheus. Her parents liked him and everything ran smoothly.

One night, Nicole was in her room studying when she heard a violent tapping on her window. She turned around to see a large, black crow tapping violently with its beak upon the glass.

Nicole got up and ran over to the window and heaved it up to allow him access. He transformed but he wore his 'human clothes'.

"Morpheus! What are you doing here?! My parents are just down stairs!" Nicole yelled through clenched teeth, trying to make her voice less audible.

Morpheus was flushed in the face and looked very excited. "You must come quickly Nicole, Sarah has just given birth and it's a beautiful little girl!"

"Nicole!" Suddenly they could hear a thumping on the steps as her mother came up.

"Morpheus, you have to go!"

"Not without you! You have to come now!"

The door suddenly flew open and Nicole's mum stood standing there, at first shocked and then glaring angrily at Morpheus who was grinning widely which irritated Nicole immensely as she was having heart palpitations "Oh No!" she thought.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in?"

Nicole sighed and they both looked at her, "Show her Morpheus"

"Morpheus?" her Mother questioned.

Her mother's jaw dropped as Morpheus transformed before her eyes. Suddenly, her husband turned up behind her and looked likewise. It would have looked quite comical had Nicole not been so nervous.

Finally her mum said to her, "who is he?"

"This is King Jareth's brother Morpheus, see!" Nicole dragged Morpheus over to stand beside her Labyrinth poster which depicted Jareth holding a crystal.

"Morpheus, what's taking so long?" Suddenly Jareth appeared right in front of his own depiction. Nicole's mother fainted right into her husbands arms.

Nicole walked over to her step-father and lightly touched his arm. "Please, I need to go with them right now; I promise I'll be back in a minute."

Her stepfather finally straightened his mouth out into a smile "Ok but be careful and don't take too long."

She kissed him on the cheek "thankyou, I'll be back shortly" and then walked over to Morpheus, touched his arm and the three of them disappeared.

Her step-father smiled and sighed and then carried her mother into their bedroom and lay her down on the bed and sat beside her. "I always knew there was something about that boy…"
