ITS ALIVE!!! ITS ALIVE!!! *laughs insanely*
Okay- so for celebration of fanfic.net FINALLY pulling itself together I've decided to set out another chapter. I hope you enjoy it and the next one should be due sometime soon.
DISCLAIMER: I keep trying to buy Jareth on Ebay but someone keeps out-betting me… Does any one know who "Jim Henson Co." is? Oh, he can keep Sarah by the way. Anyway Celeste is mine- for I am her creator the all mighty Claire Bwahahahahahahahahahaha *coughcough* damn cold.
Chapter Three: Evil thirst
"Sarah, calm down," Celeste chided as she slowly and cautiously took her hand away from Sarah's mouth.
"Calm down? Calm down? You're telling me to calm down?!" Sarah shot up so she was standing and looking down at Celeste. "Let me tell you about my life as of late. For some strange reason, I rejected my boyfriend's proposal although I truly care for him. Then, I'm attacked at the park and when I wake up, you're there telling me I'm a vampire and I should trust you. And then I you take me *here*, to this, this, this, forsaken labyrinth." Sarah was breathing hard when she finished and her vision was blurring.
Celeste noticed Sarah was wavering on her feet. "Sarah, calm down. If you don't you're going to-" Celeste was interrupted when Sarah collapsed in her arms; "-faint."
Celeste sighed as she laid Sarah on the ground. "Just as stubborn as Jareth…"
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Sarah awoke sometime later. She was still very weak- she couldn't even open her eyes. She felt a warm sweet substance slip through her lips. Unconsciously, she started to lap up the liquid. She felt her strength returning. She finally opened her eyes to find Celeste feeding her blood from her cupped palms. Sarah attempted to push the alluring liquid away but Celeste forced another handful down her throat instead.
"Sarah, you are very weak. You must drink," Celeste whispers softly.
Sarah was disgusted but- the blood- it tasted so good- it was impossible to stop. Sarah pulled Celeste's slashed wrist to her mouth and continued to feed so overwhelmed by the potent elixir she was barely aware of what she was doing. Finally, Celeste pulls her wrist away from Sarah's hungry mouth.
"You have quite an appetite. I will teach you to control that." Celeste smiles warmly, her eyes soft. "Sarah, I know this is hard for you and that you are scared of this new and frightening change. But this is what you are now, and what you always will be- there is no cure. But if you trust me, I can help you every step along the way."
Sarah receded into her mind. 'I've got to except this. I'll have to live with this all of my immortal life. I CAN do this- and she will make it easier.
"All right," Sarah smiled.
"Is Sarah betta now?" A gruff voice said.
Sarah's eyes brightened as she turned to face her friends. "HOGGLE! LUDO! SIR DIDYMUS!" Sarah ran to her friends and wrapped them all in a powerful hug. Sarah sat in Ludo's lap as she discussed what has been happening to her lately. Celeste smiled wistfully and then slid down the length of the trunk she was leaning against. Sir Didymus, being the only one who noticed this, carefully detached himself from the circle and went to Celeste.
"My lady, are you all right?" Didymus asked quietly.
"Giving so much blood, not taking any back… very tiring," Celeste mumbled.
Didymus gave a nod and took a bottle out of a pouch on his belt. "Here, this shall make thee feel better. Tis animal blood but tis better than nothing."
"Thank you Sir Didymus, you are very kind," Celeste said taking the bottle from Didymus's hand and emptying it into her mouth. Finally she stood and looked out over the labyrinth. "Sarah, we must head out towards the castle now."
Sarah's head shot up. "Castle? What are we going to do at the castle?"
"We are staying there of course," Celeste said, chuckling.
"But J-" suddenly she found she could not talk.
"Never say HIS name here. He can hear it no matter where you are. Now listen, I know of you're history with him and you have got to get over it. He can protect us- and he will."
Sarah thought about this, I did get over it. It's just- won't he hate me? I refused his offering of love- but I was so young… I didn't know what half those feelings were. I dreamed he would understand, but he hates me- I hurt him so much and all he did was love me. He hates me, he hates me, he hates me, he-
Sarah was pulled out of her chant by a hand on her shoulder. "He doesn't blame you, Sarah. He knows you were just a child then. But don't pass this up- this is your second chance at love. People wish they could have the chance you've been given. Please, I know you are scared but if we don't go now, Gavinn will find us. But once we are in there," Celeste said pointing to the Labyrinth, "we are protected by its power and it is harder for him to harm us."
She's right. But sometime I'm going to have to ask her how she knows all this stuff… Sarah thought.
"Okay," Sarah said standing up, "Let's get started!" Sarah was about to start walking when she tripped on the black silk nightgown she was wearing. "Umph" She lifted her head when she heard Celeste giggling.
"Yes, but first a change of clothes for both of us." Celeste snapped her fingers and Sarah was wearing Jeans, comfy sneakers, and a cream colored poet's shirt. Snapping her fingers again, Celeste changed from her blue gown into black pants and a red shirt with sleeve's out of that flowered at the ends. Her long blond hair was in a french-braid with red ribbons twisted through it. "Now we're ready."
Celeste, Sarah, and all of their friends headed towards the gates of the Labyrinth and entered with the gates closing behind them.
It's a little longer at least. I have to give some credit to the book "The Last Vampire", for my inspiration of this chapter. Any way, more chapters should be coming soon. I'll do anything to keep "His Royal Tightness" at bay.
HRT: Hey! I resent that.
CS: *hits head* Go away.
HRT: Not until Sarah and I have some action.
CS: I… this is not that type of fiction Jareth plus I wouldn't know what to write.
HRT: I could give you some inspiration with that. *Smirks and then sends her a wicked smile*
CS: *screams in frustration* How DID your parents put up with you!?! Go away so I can keep writing this story.
HRT: As you wish, dearest. *Disappears in a flash of glitter*
CS: *looks at the pile of glitter on the floor of her room then sighs and picks up the broom near her computer* Just remember- Read and Review.
