Leia stood her eyes never leaving Jareth's. "Why?"
He smiled at her. "Because I cannot simply let you fight this fight alone. Its my kingdom."
Leia nodded and looked at her sister. "She has it all now, except for the few powers that I was born with. She.." Leia was cut off as a blast sent her flying. She landed twenty yards away rolling. Jareth turned to go after her, but a hand grasped his shoulder and turned him around.
"No. Its time to finish what we started." Crystal chuckled her spell whispered quickly and easily. Jareth stumbled a bit trying to shake it off, but it started to sink in. Leia was getting to her feet. "foolish girl." Leia's hands were suddenly bound by vines that had sprung from the ground.
They held her tight, but she fought anyway. "Leave him be!" She pulled her hand free but it was grabbed by another vine. "Damn you!" Leia yelled trying to distract her sister from Jareth. But Crystal paid no attention to her.
She simply walked towards Jareth. "My King. Tis our wedding day and you are letting this girl ruin it by allowing her to live and stay present."
Jareth turned to Leia his eyes cold and hard. He didn't see her he saw someone in the way. "Then I will kill her." He walked towards Leia a sword appearing in his hand. "I don't want to upset you my queen."
Leia looked sad and furious. "No.." Jareth raised his sword but stopped when Leia didn't look away in fear. Instead she stood right in front of him as proud as a lion. "Go ahead." She smirked. "I've died a thousand times before and I'll die again if I must."
Crystal frowned at her words. "My love wait. Why don't you throw her in the dungeon?"
Jareth turned and nodded, with a wave of his hand Leia disappeared and he smiled walking to Crystal. "Ah my sweet, such good ideas." With a chuckle he kissed her.
***************************************************************************
Leia woke to find herself chained to the wall. "What the hell!" she pulled hard but the shackles fit her just right so she couldn't slip out of them. Looking around she noticed there was no guard or hardly any light, except for the one coming from further down the hall. "hello?" she called out knowing no one was there. Sighing she walked as far as she could forward to see if there was anyone else in the other cells. It looked like there were none. But a sudden movement caught her eye. It was an animal of so sort.
She squinted her eyes and looked harder, but she couldn't tell what it was. Then it spoke. "You..are the Seer.."
Leia blinked. "I was, who are you?"
The voice chuckled in its masters throat. "You don't need to know."
Leia growled and glared at the thing. "You don't know what I need!"
The voice again spoke softly. "Actually I do. You Leia need the power to stop your sister, and you need a home. You do not wish to live anywhere near family, you are always alone and you have never fallen in love and never think you will."
Leia mumbled and glared. "And exactly how did you figure this out? I've never seen you before."
With a laugh the voice whispered. "I know because I am that small part of your power that you have left, or did. Crystal made sure to split us apart so you could not break free. Right now she is screwing Jareth for all he's worth. I just hope he comes out of his daze and realizes what is going on." Leia damned near screamed. Actually she did and the body of a tiger came from the shadows. "I know your anger, it is mine as well. But even I cannot break my chains for they are made of a stronger magic then mine or yours."
Leia sighed. "Why..damnit why! How is it she became so powerful. We used to be even. And now its like all hells broke lose"
The tiger chuckled. "That is yet to come, hell will soon arise if you don't get free and stop it."
Leia growled. "And how am I supposed to do that? I have no way of getting out of these chains and neither do you." Leia sat down as close as she could to the tigers cell.
"You can. All you have to do is get Jareth to see what you see not what she makes him see. You must tell him, beg him, something. You have got to find a way to make him break free of her spell before a child is born."
Leia's eyes glowed for a brief moment and then she sighed. "If only I could. But sadly its like she took away even my hope when she took what power I had left"
The tiger sighed. "Yes, well you were very dependent on your power all your life. Since you had hardly anyone but Roza. And even now I may not be able to become one with you. I am slowly dying and you will be alone."
Leia's head snapped in her direction. "What!!"
The tiger nodded. "You know its true. It is that sinking feeling you get when you think about the kingdom and its king. You feel no one will survive, even yourself."
Leia sighed and stood. "And how am I supposed to stop this?"
The tiger sighed and closed her eyes, laying down. "I don't know, but I cannot survive much longer. Without a body I am slowly wasting away to nothing."
Leia looked lost in thought. "You cant." But the tiger was gone.
"I have no choice." Was the last thing she heard and all was silent.
He smiled at her. "Because I cannot simply let you fight this fight alone. Its my kingdom."
Leia nodded and looked at her sister. "She has it all now, except for the few powers that I was born with. She.." Leia was cut off as a blast sent her flying. She landed twenty yards away rolling. Jareth turned to go after her, but a hand grasped his shoulder and turned him around.
