Wow it's been awhile! Damn school.. Anyways, I'm doing this part on a
whim, so I'm sorry if it sucks, but I hope to get better. But I have done
what I did for For the Love of the Babe. The story is written and I just
need to type. So the song for this chapter is Somnia Memorias the platinum
edition from Parasite Eve. Enjoy!
~Oh it feels like I've been on a long journey.
Feels like I've waited all this time,
For that one moment.
Was it God's will or
Was it my own will? I swear I heard a voice telling me.~
The family had moved back to the castle and was sitting in Sarah and Jareth's room. A fire was blazing and the room was warm. Everyone was seated on the bed, the twins waiting to hear about their parents past, and who had kidnapped their sister. By now Sarah had calmed down. But she was still shaken up. She took a deep breath and started to tell the story of the Phantoms.
"Sixteen years ago, there was a war. A war that ended all wars. It was called the War of the Phantoms. But what truly matters now is what brought on the war. A rival of your fathers kidnapped me. His name was Adam. But to be honest he was the rival of all mankind. He was the devil. Satan reincarnate. He kidnapped me to lure your father to the Phantom Regions, which does not exist anymore. A company came out in search of me. Lunus led me out of the Cetran city, where I was held, and back to your father. We met in the Phantom Regions in a spot called the Holy Brook. But little did we know that Adam had followed us and your Uncle Jason betrayed us. Adam summoned the Phantoms to kill us. While a member of the company summoned the Guado, and the war began. In the middle of the war I began to give birth to you two, and was sent back to the city of Bevelle. The woman who your sister is named after was killed, and the rest of the company returned after the war was over. Isabella summoned a goddess and she saved the land. After you were born, we set out and destroyed Adam."
Shea and Lili had their mouths wide open. They sat in shock. Then Lili spoke.
"Well what about Bella's kidnapper?"
Sarah and Jareth looked at each other.
"The kidnapper who stole Isabella was Adam's mistress, Shanna. He slept with her one night. She was the only he didn't kill when he started to rebuild the Cetra City."
"Well we gotta get her back!" Shea cried.
Jareth nodded and buried his face in his wife's hair.
~Awake... Awake...
Among the waves I can bring back memories...
Beyond dreams, beyond memories.
A sacred tree calls upon me.
Beyond dreams, beyond memories
I realize I am myself.
And we find each other...~
Isabella woke up. But when she did, she realized she wasn't in her own bed. She started to breath heavily. The room scared her. It's walls were blood red, just like her sheets. And her curtains were black. And outside the sky was black. The door to her room opened and a woman stepped in. She had long dark violet hair, and deep gold eyes. Her smile was cruel and frightening.
"Well my little one, I see you have awaken. Good, get up and put on one of the dresses from the closet. Go down the stairs and take a right."
She left the room. Isabella sat stupefied. How stupid was this? Did this woman actually think she could just come in and order her around? She got up and went to the closet. She opened the doors and felt her stomach drop. The dresses she saw were the most beautiful things she had ever seen, and made her ashamed to have ever played in a mud puddle. She picked out a crimson one, which flowed to her feet. It was made of soft velvet. She put it on, and slowly crept down the stairs. She came to a lush and fertile garden. A garden that looked vaguely familiar, but she didn't know why. The woman with purple hair was standing there, waiting for her. She turned to her and gave her another cruel smile.
"Well Isabella, my name is Shanna."
"That's all fine and dandy, but why am I here? And where is my mom and dad?"
Shanna said nothing, but turned and looked towards the gardens again. Beyond the gardens, Isabella could see a city. A city of ruins.
"Your parents aren't any concern of yours anymore. You are to stay here, and help me."
"You mean you kidnapped me?!?! What the Hell!!!" Isabella screamed.
"Ah ah, little girls should not use such language. You will need a time out." Shanna snapped her fingers and two guards appeared.
Yet they were not guards at all, but vapors, Phantoms. They carried Isabella off kicking and screaming.
~Oh if all we can do is be disheartened by
What is to come.
And wait for this pathetic feast to end.
Our history fading
Away, then what is there left of us to expect now?~
Shea and Lili had fallen asleep on their parents bed, while Jareth and Sarah were fully awake.
"What do we do?" Sarah whispered.
"The only thing we can do, get her back. We get a team and go get her."
"Jareth that cannot be our only option. The old crew is not small people anymore. Sirus and April are King and Queen. Amberle and Anthony are travelers, and who knows where they are. We are alone in this situation."
Jareth then realized she was right. They were alone. No one would help them now. He heard a small tap, and went to the window. It was his owl, returning from its voyage.
"It's from Sirus. He can come, but he needs a week to get his affairs in order."
"A week. Do we have that much time to spare?"
Jareth shook his head, and sat down on the floor. He started to sob. This was the second time his girl was stolen from him. First Sarah, now Isabella. Sarah went to her husband and put her arms around him.
Shea lay awake in the bed. He had heard every piece of his parents conversation. He couldn't wait a week to go after his sister. He and Lili need to act, and soon.
~Awake.. Awake...
Among the waves I can bring back memories...
Somewhere among distant memories.
Something awakens inside me.
Will it learn love... and tenderness?
Then will all this finally end?~
Isabella sat in her room. She had never been so mad in her life. Didn't this woman know who she was? She was a princess. She wouldn't be treated this way! She opened her door, and wandered out into the corridor. Instead of taking a right, she took a left. Wandering down different halls, she ended up in a weird room. It had all kinds of tube and vials. It was dark and stank, and reeked of bile. There were all kinds of rusted chains and ashes. This room too was familiar. She touched a chain, and was sent flashing into a vision. A vision of her mother and father fighting against a demon. Something that she could never even begin to explain it was so evil. She came back to reality with a jolt. She was in the same room her mother and father were fighting in. She looked around and went deeper into the room. She saw a giant tube, filed with black liquid. There was a button on the bottom. She suddenly heard a voice in her head. "Touch the button.Now I say!" Even in years to come, she will never know why she did it, but she unfilled the tank. In a loud WHOOSH and the sound of a toilet flush, the tube unfilled.
~You were always close to me, right there by my side.
I swear you have always been.
You were always close to me, right there by my side.
I swear you have always been...~
Shea and Lili woke up just before sunrise. They went to their rooms, changed, and went to their own common room. Shea told Lili everything that he had heard the night before.
"We need to get our own group and go get Isabella. Mom and Dad will take forever." Lili agreed.
"I think you know what we need to do."
"I got it covered Shea, we'll leave by tomorrow. But remember, we cannot tell Mom and Dad."
"No kidding Lili. Are you sure you got it covered.?"
"No sweat."
The twins set off. They knew what they had to do, and they were determined to get Isabella back.
~When the sin covers us with its song the land will
Suffer, suffer.
You must understand...
Let us not forget (let us not forget) we must never forget.
Heaven, land, sea, and sun are life.
Let us not forget (let us not forget) when the color of evil
Fills the land you'll see Dies Irae*
And everything will end...~
YAY!!!!! Done, what do u think? Read and review!
