Sh, Jareth doesn't know that I'm here. **looks upon the dark oubliette she is hiding in** Anyway, all I did was spill just a little bit of purple dye into his glitter bottle.
Jareth: Oh really…
CS: Epp! Jareth- Um… hi.
Jareth: Um hi, yourself. Claire do you know what happens when someone defies me? **starts to stalk towards her**
CS: **backs up slowly** You… let them go?
Jareth: No. I dip them headfirst into the Bog
CS: of Eternal Stench? Jareth, Jareth… you've really got to change your lines, you are becoming predictable.
Jareth: Or I could do something much worse. **a crystal forms in his hand**
CS: You wouldn't dare.
Jareth: Oh, wouldn't I? **throws the crystal at her**
CS: **looks down to see a peach pie stuck to her favorite shirt, she calmly takes it off and wipes of the extra pieces**
Jareth: **laughs**
CS: **lunges at Jareth and handcuffs him to the chains there** Now, my lovely readers… I hope you do enjoy this next chapter. Oh, and don't forget to review. And I'm surprised that none of you guessed who the mystery man was… well keep guessing and if you figure it out before the end of the chapter- bonus peach dreams for you.
DISCLAIMER: oh… you thought I owned Labyrinth… you did… hm- well keep thinking that… oh- and tell Elvis, the King- you know your husband- that I said 'allo'. Peachy?
Chapter Eleven: Stories told and Secrets revealed
A light knock on the door scared the two. Jareth knew that the only one that dared to knock would either be an extremely stupid goblin or…
"Celeste, come in," he said, after he arranged Sarah so that she was lying against his chest.
Celeste walked in, her expression carefully blank. "Jareth, Sarah, please forgive me for intruding but I believe it is time for me to reveal my hidden cards."
"Yes, I do believe it is time, Celeste. We got another visit from Gavinn," Jareth stated calmly.
"Really," Celeste quirked her eyebrow. "And…"
"He hit Sarah with some kind of ball and…"
Celeste crossed the room quickly and cut her brother off, "Sarah, did he sing to you?"
Sarah blushed and nodded.
"Damn, I should have expected this. All right, Sarah, do you trust me?"
Sarah looked over her shoulder then to Celeste, "Yes, why?"
"Good, because what I have to do will hurt." Celeste came up and lightly pulled one sleeve off her left shoulder. Jareth gasped at the sight. Her veins that were leading to her heart where turning purple. A large bump was moving, slowly, but it was moving, migrating toward her heart. "Jareth, hold her."
Jareth held Sarah still and kissed the top of her head, "It will be okay," he whispered lightly in her ear.
Celeste had a jeweled knife in her hand and stuck it into Sarah's skin. Sarah gasped and shook with the scream she was holding in as she carefully took out the bump, which was a small crystal like object with a purple tint. Sarah's flesh automatically closed around the open wound. Celeste took the crystal whispered something into it and it disappeared.
"What was that?" Sarah asked as soon as she gained her composure.
"A love spell. Once it reaches your heart, it is impossible to remove."
"Oh," Sarah said simply.
"Are you ready for my story?" Celeste asked, sitting in a near-by chair flicking the knife away.
Sarah and Jareth nodded, and got comfortable.
"Well, on the night before Gabriel and I got married, I was surprised when Jaden came into my bedroom, gasping for air like there was no tomorrow…"
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Gavinn was sitting on his throne when his once enemy, now loyal subject walked in. "I swear that woman… Stubbornness still hasn't worn off after all these years."
"I told you she wouldn't give in," Gavinn said simply, smirking.
"But she was so close to giving in," He looked at Gavinn, angry that he was smirking at him. "What about Sarah? I don't see her around," He took his turn in smirking.
"Ah, well. Jareth interfered, etc. etc. and I just placed a love spell that went into effect…" Gavinn trailed off as he checked the clock, "About twenty minutes ago- she should be here soon-" But he didn't finish because a black bubble floated in to stop in front of Gavinn.
It changed to a shade of silver, releasing its secret message. "Nice try, it's no surprise you need a love spell to get a decent girl to go willingly into your arms." A cruel laughter emitted from the bubble as it promptly popped in Gavinn's face.
Gavinn's anger level rose, then a sly smile came upon his face. "Ah, Celeste, how you defy me. I'm coming, my sweet."
As Gavinn said this he didn't notice the man before him mutter "MY sweet."
Gavinn collected his first hand man and a handful of vampire soldiers, including Damien and his other son, Nicholas. "Let's go, it will take a while to break the barrier."
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
"…And as soon as I felt the teeth in my neck, I was too weak to struggle, and was immediately rendered unconscious." Celeste paused. Jareth looked enraged, where as Sarah looked ready to cry. This would be the hardest part to tell…
"I woke up- what I discovered later as thirteen weeks…"
FLASHBACK*+*+*+*
Celeste was still tired but she was awake and cold. She turned to lie on her love's chest. But he smelled wrong… this wasn't Gabriel it was-
"Gavinn!" Celeste shot up and shoved herself off the bed. Landing with a thump on her rump. She looked up to see Gavinn leaning over the bed; his chin rested on his hands.
"Now why did you do that? I was quite comfortable. Besides, we'll be doing this forever, so you should get used to it."
Celeste looked at him skeptically, raising an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Well, you belong to me now, and I've decided to give you the honor of being my wife."
"WHAT!?!" Her eyes flashed red, sending shivers of delight up Gavinn's spine. She stood tall, rage seeping out of every pore. "GAVINN, I WILL NEVER SUCCUMB TO YOU!"
"I love it when you get mad, dearest." He whispered in her ear as he appeared behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "It turns me on to know what you can be. You are mine, Celeste, no matter what you believe. I made you, so I can turn you into my slave, my servant, my mistress, or my queen. You decided, hm."
He proceeded to lick her shoulder, which earned him an elbow in the chest and a knee in the groin. He fell, and Celeste got on top of him, pressing a knife to his throat, growling angrily. Then she jumped away, shocked at her actions. She was never this vicious. She knew she could be but… no. No, no, no. She wouldn't be that way. A hand can up to her mouth, as she shook her head rapidly.
"Oh yes, Celeste. You are a vicious, cruel monster. Don't hold it back, don't restrain it, give in… give in." He advanced on her again, trying to kiss her lips, where he was met with a punch in the face.
"What did you do to me, Gavinn?" Her voice was eerily calm.
"I released your dark side, I turned you into a vampire, my dear." Another punch in the face.
"You bastard. You turned me against my will. When the Magic Council hears about this, they'll-"
"And what would your brother think? Your family? To now know you are a monster. A blood sucking demon of the Nightmares. Hm?" He smiled when he saw her face start to fall. "Ah yes. You didn't think about that did you Celeste? They will hate you. The only place you will truly be welcomed is here, with me."
Celeste felt her will slipping. It was true; her brother would hate her for this. Would it honestly be so bad? Then she remembered that this man before her killed her love.
"No, not only changed me against my will, you killed Gabriel. I can never trust you after that."
"Ah that. Well, my love, I'm sorry about that. But if you would follow me, I would like to show you something that will change your mind…"
*+*+*+*END FLASHBACK
"…I didn't know what else to do, so I followed him. He brought me to a room near by and opened the door. And there, in the room, with a cruel smile on his face was…"
The door burst open then, making Celeste turn sharply to gaze upon Gavinn, who had, once again, broken into the castle with some vampire goons. The Magic Council would have a hoot when they heard about this.
"I'm sorry to break up story time but I've taken this too lightly." Gavinn said, snapping his fingers. As he did so, Sarah appeared in his arms, bound at the wrists and ankles. At the same time, a dozen vampires lunged out and restrained Jareth.
"Gavinn…" Jareth's body shook with rage.
"Gavinn, let Sarah go, please." Celeste said, using her eerily calm voice.
Gavinn pouted mockingly, "But she's such a tasty morsel." He nipped at her neck, which made Sarah jump.
"Here, let me try again," She grabbed Nicholas who had been standing next to Gavinn. She wrapped one arm around his waist, pulling his back to the front of her body. Her other hand had the jeweled knife she held earlier, pressing lightly against his throat. "Let. Sarah. Go." Each word was punctuated with a sharper press against Nicholas's throat.
Suddenly, someone grabbed hold of her hair form behind and pulled her back and away from Nicholas. Celeste wasn't going to let go so easily; in the process of being ripped from Nicholas her knife ripped a neat slash across his throat. The blood seeped out quickly, happy for release as Nicholas fell to the floor. He was choking on his own blood and soon, a dead body lay upon the floor.
The only on who didn't really see this was Jareth. He was shocked again, that makes twice in less than thirty-six hours. His eyes were fixed upon Celeste's captor. The fiery red hair was still straight and kissed his shoulders, his gray eyes were the same except with the vampire sharpness. His face was paler but it was he, he was still alive.
"Gabriel?"

HA! How many of you guessed it? How's that for spicing up things? Now if you'll excuse me. **Claire turns to a blindfolded Cherry and spins her 13 times** Okay ready?
Cherry: Yeah…
**Claire leads her to where Jareth is chained against the wall and hands her the pin attached to a sock**
Sita, Sarah, CS: Pin the sock on the Jareth!
CS: Jareth, I wouldn't move much…
**laughs evilly** Now review, or I'll make sure you don't get a turn.
Jareth: Oh really…
