1 History Repeats Itself Chapter 11

The disclaimer is the same. In the time span of 6 hours, it is very unlikely that someone decided to give me the rights to Labyrinth, Jareth, and all other things from the 1986 movie as a gift or something. It's just not going to happen. Yes, I still own all those other characters that are not from laby. You know, why would I give them away? Omg. I would never do that! Anyway, here's the next chapter!



Chapter 11:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Rillian climbed up all the way to the top of the wall. He was now hanging onto the stones and the blocked out window was in front of him. He knocked on the window to see how thick or thin it was. Surprisingly, it sounded very thin. Rillian figured he could punch it and it would give away. He let go of one of the stones he was holding to punch the bogus window. It did give away, and Rillian lifted himself up onto the ledge of it to get a peak inside. He saw a dark room with a lot of couches in it. It seemed to be like a lounging area…. for what? He didn't know. He also didn't care. All Rillian could think about was Jo, and getting her out of there. As Rillian's thoughts were getting the best of him, he suddenly remembered what could happen. He remembered his father, and how he looked when he had given his powers to Rillian. *And Jo is only mortal. She might not be able to survive if this "Evil Prince" takes them away from her. * He pulled himself in through the window and into the room. He ran quietly to one side of the room closest to the door leading to a hallway. He heard the voices of knights in the hallway. There were three…no…four of them.

"The girl's power," said one knight

"Yes," said another, "when I walked by her, I could just feel the energy from her,"

"Rillian," he heard a voice scream. *That's Jo. I have to save her, but how do I get past those guards? * His thoughts were going around and around, not really thinking, just depressed. He didn't want Jo to get hurt at all. He wished that Jo would've never came to the Underground. He heard more screams from Jo, and became more depressed, but he had to think of a plan. Then out the door, the hallway was flooded with light…a bright light. First it was green, and then it turned white. Rillian covered his eyes. He heard Jo scream again. Then the light died down. After a few minutes of thinking painful thoughts, he heard a large door open, and a few people walk out of it. He heard a command from an authoritative voice to one of the knights. He heard the authoritative man walk down the hallway with three other bodies walking along with him. As soon as he heard them pass, he looked out the door. He saw a tall figure walking to the left with three gnomes following behind him. Rillian's eyes darted to the right of him where he could see three knights guarding the door that would obviously lead to Jo. *What to do * he thought. *Oh well, no time for thinking now…* Rillian walked out the door, with confidence, towards the three knights.

"Who are you?" One of the knights asked defensively.

"I am merely a fellow swordsman," Rillian replied,

"You're not allowed to be here, how did you get in?" another knight asked,

"Men," Rillian said grabbing his sword, "Draw your weapons,"

The knights all drew their swords out from their sheaths and started attacking Rillian. Rillian moved swiftly and his blows were so strong that he knocked out all three knights in the time span of…oh…maybe 3 minutes or less. It seemed like an eternity to Rillian because all he could think about was Jo and if she was all right. After all three knights were beaten and bloody on the floor, Rillian took no more valuable time and opened the humongous black door, which undoubtedly guarded Jo.

"Jo!" Rillian screamed seeing a figure with her back to him tied up sitting on a chair. The figure stirred slightly.

"Rillian?" said Jo speaking in a whisper. Rillian ran forward to Jo, but was suddenly stopped by a knight with his sword in one hand and toying with a red apple in the other. He took a bite out of it.

"And who do you think you are barging in like this?" said the knight.

Rillian drew his sword once more. He knew he could kill with magic, but it just seemed so much more civil this way.

"Oh, is this a challenge?" the knight asked laughing mockingly. After seeing the serious look on Rillian's face, he threw his apple behind him, without looking, making a perfect shot in which the apple went straight into a spike in the wall. Rillian walked closer. He had no time for foolish games. He needed to help Jo get out of this horrible place. He slashed his sword and it cut the knight's cheek, and blood started dripping down from it and all the way down his chin. The knight raised his sword. Rillian was quick, as usual, but the knight was too. Rillian couldn't get any more off of that knight. Finally, after about eight minutes of slashing and striking, Rillian made a final blow to the knight's chest. The impact was so had that the knight fell back on his tailbone and a few bones were heard crushing. By the end, Rillian was beaten up around his face, but there was nothing broken. Thank the lord. Rillian dropped his sword and rushed over to Jo. Jo tried to muster up a smile, but she was too weak to look happy. Rillian looked at her in disbelief. He could tell she had been mistreated because of all the blood on her chest. He saw the cut and then necklace on top of it. It was so hard for him to say something, trying not to hurt her.

"Jo," he managed to say, "Are you okay?"

"No," she said closing her eyes, "he's taking my powers away from me and I need them to survive… I think…" Jo's voice was al in a whisper.

"Sh," said Rillian touching her lips with his finger, "don't speak Jo. You don't have enough energy to even talk. Just…" Rillian had to turn his head away form Jo. He could see tears coming down from her eyes. JO never wanted any of this. All she wanted was a chance to dream. All Rillian ever wanted was the chance to love.

"Jo," Rillian said caressing her cheek, "I love you,"

Jo lifted her eyes up.

"You don't have to say I love you back…" Rillian said getting to Jo's tied wrists. "I didn't mean it like an obligation."

Jo was loosing more energy than ever. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? Her mind was overloading with thoughts she didn't have the strength to think about. She already started to cry. She couldn't take much longer.

"I'm sorry Jo," Rillian said after a long silence form Jo. He untied Jo with a little magic. He held Jo's face in his hands gently, as if it were glass. All of a sudden Jo's head dropped down.

"Jo!" Rillian screamed. He picked up Jo, and held her close. He was about to use the crystal to take her back, but he saw a tall figure walk into the room.

"Give me the girl!" he said.
