A/N: Hi guy and gals! The moment you have been waiting for…..THE END!!
Jareth: She is just joking…right?
Erik: Of course, I saw her rough draft. -looks smug-
Jareth: Because you are her favorite!
Erik and A/N: Well….Here you go!
Erik was flying above eastern Germany, searching for any sign of the cottage or of Elizabeth. His thoughts were only find her, save her, tell her and kill Raoul.After what seemed like years, Erik found the cottage. "Jareth, I found it. Transport Christine and yourself ten kilometers due north from where I am. It should be near a dirt road." Erik landed as let Jareth find his location. "We are at the destination. Fly here to begin Phase 2." Jareth sent back. Erik flew, filled with hope and worry of his plan… "We will save her or die trying."
As Erik transformed, Jareth was preparing Christine. "Do not be afraid of the crystal, it will not hurt you. The spell shall only put on the dress, and not change your appearance. Stay still." Jareth then blew the crystal. The bubble-like crystal floated to Christine, growing larger and larger by the second until it was her height. "Step in." Jareth whispered. Christine cautiously stepped in. Her body began to twirl as red silk began to weave around her body. A gold and red corset with a flowing train was created. Her hair was pin into a fashionable bun with a few curls escaping it. A simple gold pendent and diamond studs with red heels were the essentials for a 'richly dressed female'. "Your mothers gown?" Erik said shocked. "She knew the cause, mumsie knows you deserve love." Jareth smiled. "My turn." Christine got out of the crystal as Jareth stepped in. His wild blond hair was surprisingly tamed and cut short. His mismatched eyes become a light blue. He wore a tan waist coat with wheat yellow breeches. A formal shirt with a cane and a hat completed the look. Jareth came out with his head held high. "You look like a man…I thought I never see the day that happened. (I know this doesn't fit the situation at all…but come on! Family banter is always needed.)" Erik snickered. "Shut up and get in." Jareth sneered. Erik went in with a smile. His hair grew enough to cover his head, black as the night sky. His eyes remained gold, but duller. A pointed nose was placed where 'the great black hole' was. A white formal shirt, a black vest, and a black waist coat, simple black trousers, black dress shoes, and a white bow tie were all that he needed. Erik walked out as the crystal 'popped'. "Thanks for the dark clothes and the nose." Erik said, smiling again. "Before you two even start, get in the carriage!" Christine said. "Now she is acting like a queen…Great Fae spirits help us." Jareth in Erik's mind, trying to keep his facial expression sober. "Be quiet, or I will laugh and she will know what you said." Erik said mentally, looking out the window to hide his smirk. "And stop distracting me…I will save her." Erik said back.
Finally, the brave trio pulled up to the cottage. Raoul came out instantly, bowing before the mysterious, fair maiden. "Why have thou come, my fair lady?" Raoul asked, not daring to look up, not wishing to offend her. "I hear that thou sell beautiful trinkets and treasures. Is this a falsehood?" Christine said, her voice deeper and cold. "No, my lady. It is very true. Would thou like something to eat, thou must have had a long journey." Raoul said. "Yes, and I shall be the judge of the beauty of these wares. Daniel, my servant must help me." Christine said. Raoul led the pair inside. "Maria, we have guests. Please prepare more supper." Raoul said sweetly. "My wife is the most beautiful and clever maiden." Raoul sighed. A pale woman came down the stairs. "Hello." She bowed and came up. Elizabeth. "It is Erik…Christine, Jareth, and I are saving you. Play along and you will be free." Erik said to Elizabeth mentally. "I will prepare some soup. We have a fruits: mostly apples and pomegranates." Elizabeth said. "Thank you. Daniel, go see if Harold wants an apple." Christine said. "Yes my lady." Erik quickly left to the carriage.
"Elizabeth is in the kitchen…she knows we are here…Raoul is being distracted by Christine." Erik reported, catching his breathe. "Remember to breathe near Elizabeth, Erik." Erik said to himself. "Sneak her out through the back and we will put her in the seat. Make sure it is after supper, Raoul may look for her if she disappears during." Jareth said. "Okay." Erik ran back in. "He said he was fine." "After you are done eating, tell me to help Elizabeth. I will sneak her out the back." Christine slightly nodded. "Here. Please enjoy." She set down the bowls and everyone began to eat.
The food was quickly eaten. "Maria, will you please wash the dishes? I have business with our guest." Raoul said kindly. "Daniel, help the poor dear." Christine said icily. Erik followed Elizabeth to the kitchen. "Where is the back door?" "Right through here…" Elizabeth whispered. Erik grabbed Elizabeth's hand, ignoring the spark and warm sensations pulsing through his veins. Elizabeth followed him to the carriage. "Jareth, open the compartment!" Erik half shouted. Elizabeth was barely in when his voice was heard. "Maria! Keep away from her!" Raoul shouted, taking out his sword. Elizabeth tried to squeeze in, but Raoul grabbed her out. "How dare you try to escape again! Was your first beating not enough?" Raoul practically growled. "My name is not Maria! I made it up so Erik would not be killed!" Elizabeth shouted. Oh how the anger boiled inside Raoul.
"Who is ERIK? Have you not forgotten that we are MAN AND WIFE? You are loyal to ME!" Raoul shouted, smacking Elizabeth. "Then what about me Raoul?" Christine said, releasing her hair from her bun. "I am your wife, your love, the one you fought for! You are my husband, my beloved -not any more-, and the one I fought for in the Labyrinth." Christine shouted. "Christine? You lied to me!" Raoul shouted back, but his eyes were filled with fear. "You flirted, lied to, kidnapped a woman who did nothing but loathe you. Then you force her into a marriage when you already have a wife?" Christine shouted, tears pouring from her eyes. "I will fight to keep her! She does love me, she doesn't know it!" Raoul yelled, swinging his sword before the two men. The glamours faded off as Jareth and Erik were truly revealed. "What?" "You have forgotten but this is Erik, my cousin or as you know: The Phantom of the Opera.
Erik took the first plunge, cutting Raoul's arm. Raoul screamed in pain as he swished his sword, tripping Jareth. Jareth grabbed Raoul's legs, plunging a dagger into his legs. "Ahhhh!" Raoul shouted kicking Erik in the shin. "You hurt Elizabeth." Erik shouted as his cut Raoul's cheeks. "Who is Elizabeth?" Raoul shouted as punched Erik in the face. "That would be me. I told you already. I am not Maria. I made it up to protect Erik." Elizabeth shouted in his face as she kneed him in his…area. "You can't be speaking of that monster! He deserves to die a slow death!" Raoul pulled out a hand gun, pointing it to Erik's heart. "Raoul, Vicoumet de Changy…you are worse than the Phantom has ever been or ever will be! You are cruel!" Christine shouted, taking Jareth's sword and stabbing in his cold heart. "I love you Maria…even if that is not your real name. Erik stole the gun and shot Raoul in the head. The blood flowed all around his corpse. "The true monster is dead." Jareth said.
A/N: FOP BEATING!! DID IchigoV13 AND Black Vampire of the Night16 ENJOY??
Jareth: As a tribute to the recent death of Michael Jackson, here are the lyrics to Thriller:
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the darkUnder the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heartYou try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make itYou start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyesYou're paralyzed
'Cause this is thriller, thriller nightAnd no one's gonna save you from the beast about strikeYou know it's thriller, thriller nightYou're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to runYou feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sunYou close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behindYou're out of time
'Cause this is thriller, thriller nightThere ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girlThriller, thriller nightYou're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masqueradeThere's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time(They're open wide)This is the end of your life
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every sideThey will possess you unless you change that number on your dialNow is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeahAll through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screenI'll make you see
That this is thriller, thriller night'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare tryThriller, thriller nightSo let me hold you tight and share aKiller, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight
'Cause this is thriller, thriller nightGirl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare tryThriller, thriller nightSo let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!
(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)Darkness falls across the landThe midnight hour is close at handCreatures crawl in search of bloodTo terrorize y'alls neighborhood
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh babyI'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin'Thriller night, baby, ooh!
The foulest stench is in the airThe funk of forty thousand yearsAnd grizzly ghouls from every tombAre closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay aliveYour body starts to shiverFor no mere mortal can resistThe evil of the thriller
A/N: I love Michael Jackson and that he died so young really broke my heart. I hope he is dancing and singing in heaven. I wish love to the Jackson family.
All: We shall remember you Michael Jackson
RIP
