HEY! Yet another Evanescence song ^_^. What can I say, lol. I have the baby names all picked out. A very special thank you to Darkmaster, Mallory, and Conriu. :-D All your suggestions have been put to thought and a very creative combination has been formed. I DO NOT own the Cetra, Aeris, or anything from Final Fantasy VII. It belongs to Squaresoft.

"Long lost words whisper slowly to me

still can't find what keeps me here"

Jareth and company had been traveling for two days, with no sign of Amberle getting better. Or any sign of the Reaper. They were now at the end of the Tagg Plains. The Tagg Plains was a spread of land with nothing but rolling green hills. Anthony had never left Amberles side and carried her most of the way. Ever since she had been hurt, he kept silent and to himself. All Cetran twins felt slight empathy with one another. They could feel each others pain and feelings. So Anthony had been kept under Sirus's observation as well. Sirus tended to Amberle at the best of his abilities, but the poison was already spreading.

"How much longer does she have?" Jareth asked Sirus quietly.

"Not long, but we should reach Sachiel Lake tomorrow. I know we can make it." Sirus replied.

Jareth nodded, and moved to Amberle's side. The poison had traveled from her arm to her temples, so the pulsed and thrived green. She started to stir and blink. She looked at Jareth with a tired expression and smiled at him, taking his hand in her own. She blinked again and started to cry. Jareth gathered her in his arms and stroked her back, while she sobbed. What he didn't see was that her cried tears were green. When she pulled back, she gave a choking sob. He brushed away her colored tears and tried to give her a look that said everything would be alright, but how did he know for sure that they would make it to Sachiel Lake in time? That wasn't fair to Amberle.

"If I don't make it," Amberle whispered softly, "Tell Sarah when you find her that not all Cetra are like Adam. Who we are, and that the Cetra are usually peaceful people. I never told her we were Cetrans."

"I never did either, and of course Amberle. But Sirus thinks we will make it tomorrow, so don't think all hope is lost yet."

She looked at him, then wiped away her leftover tears. She then lay back down on her makeshift bed and went back to sleep, still holding Jareths hand.

"When all this time I've been so hollow inside

I know you're still there"

Sarah sat in her room, staring out the window - again. Adam stared into the fire, watching everything she did. All that she did was lay around her room and cry. Didn't she ever come to realize what she had? Being offered to her was lifetime of security, a magnificent city, and of course.him. He loved her, but she was extremely boring to watch. Not like other women. For instance Jason's love, Mech'elle. She was interesting. With another wave of his hand, her image appeared. Mech'elle hair came in green waves, the blue mixed with the red and yellow of the fire. She was beautiful, but not like Sarah. Mech'elle was just more interesting to watch, since she had the entire Labyrinth kingdom to herself and that other person with her. The only problem with Mech'elle was that she was not attracted to men. But to Jason, that didn't matter. He wanted her anyway. Right at the moment she was yelling at a scrawny goblin that was chasing a chicken in the throne room. He rolled his eyes, waved his hand and instantly the fire went out. The plan to make Sarah love him was already in motion. If the Reaper did his job well by exterminating Jareth and that little company, then things would end just his way. He would make Sarah love him, whether she knew it or not, she would love him. He cracked a small smile. Just thinking about it made him feel good. A few ancient word and the fire pulsed with life once more, showing Sarahs image. She was now in the gardens. Little did he know that he too was being watched with gold and violet eyes.

"Watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down Fearing you loving you

I won't let you pull me down"

When morning approached for the group in the Tagg Plains, Anthony picked up Amberle. With Isabella leading the way, they headed for Sachiel Lake. Knowing they had little time before Amberle was beyond their reach, they ran as fast as they could the entire time. Isabella could feel the fear in her throat. Jareth kept looking back at Amberle, seeing her eyes flutter with exhaustion. After an hours worth of running, Isabella yelled.

"There! There it is! Amberle, you're going to be okay!!"

The lake was like an oasis in the plains. Surrounded by palm trees and exotic wild life. It was the only source of tranquility in green nothingness. Isabella and Anthony were the first to reach the shore. Before anyone else could reach them, Anthony threw Amberle into the lake.

"ARE YOU MAD!!!" Isabella screamed at Anthony.

"Just watch smartass!!!" Anthony screamed back.

Sirus was just as panicked as Isabella was. They all watched the spot where Anthony had thrown Amberle. Soon glittering bubbles started to surface where she landed. The bubbles then came to a rolling boil. And with a lightning crack, Amberle's head and torso surfaced. There was no trace of green on her, and her hair dry and redder than ever.

"Hi guys!" She exclaimed cheerfully.

The top of her torso was covered with a maroon tube top. Sirus and Isabella stood dumbfounded. Anthony had a proud smile on his face. Jareth looked relieved, while Jason stood behind the crew. No one could see the disappointment on Jasons face.

"What the hell is going on?" Isabella whispered.

Anthony and Amberle looked at each other and smiled. Out of the shimmering depths, came a fish tail.

"Hunting you I can smell you - alive

your heart pounding in my head"

Sarah was in the gardens again. The gardens had become her favorite hideaway. It was a calming and soothing place to be. She had her feet in a small pool with goldfish nipping at her feet. She could feel the baby giving her small kicks. She smiled and put a hand on her stomach, trying to calm her kicking baby. Adam had been leaving her alone for the time being. While during this time she had gotten to know and befriended her maids. From them she had learned stories about the Cetran people and their past. About how Queen Aeris had gathered all of the Cetrans together after they were shunned from the world. She made a community, which eventually turned into a city. They were all pushed to the Phantom Regions. She was pulled out of her dazed when she felt eyes on her back. She rolled her eyes, got out of the pool and turned around. She froze when she saw the figure on front of her and fainted.

"Watching me wanting me

I can feel you pull me down

saving me raping me

watching me"

And Chapter 14 is done! What did ya think????
