Authoress: GRRR
Zoe: She's pissed off because someone made a comment about her spelling
Authoress: There could be a lot worse things in a fanfic she has to point out one or two mistakes!
Zoe: Yeah
Authoress: That egotistical, little ingrate of gregarious proportions.
Zoe: Uh, I think we get the point, you are good at spelling and knowing of big words
Jareth: Maybe we should start the fic
Disclaimer: I don't own Labyrinth, but I do own the words I have spelled right!
See the World through My Eyes
So it begins
After arguing with Sallina, calming Kera down, and finally getting her hair in one piece Sarah was ready to face the guys. God could this get anymore stressful?
"I'll be going first," Gabriel said. Yeah, it could get more stressful. Sarah stood in front of the doors to the study. Gabriel had approached her and told her this. Sallina had to work to keep her temper in check.
"Oh, you already decided?" Sarah asked. Kera sat on her shoulder. Sarah's eye sight seemed to not bother any one of the royals. Gabriel had won the drawing of locks and he was the first to escort the princess for a day.
The other kings had to find something else to do that day (aw poor royals). Sarah nodded. "If it's all the same, Geminia (Sallina), my lady in waiting, will be accompanying me," Sarah told him. He nodded reluctantly.
"So I take it we will be keeping to the boundaries of the Goblin Kingdom?" Gabriel asked. Jareth felt like yelling 'Damn right!', but thought better of it and nodded. Gabriel consented but, trust me, not happily.
"Are we ready to go?" Sarah asked her companions.
"Yes, my lady," Sallina said. Gabriel held Sarah's hand and Sarah held Sallina's. Kera held tight to her mistress as they disappeared.
"There goes contestant number one," Cypress said as they faded from view. All who were royalty turned to the spy. "Oh I don't like those looks,"
"Follow them!"
They appeared in one of the many caves under the Labyrinth. Sallina lit a fire ball to light of the cavern. "What are we doing in here?" she asked. Gabriel smiled.
"We've come here because I want Lady Sarah to meet some friends of mine," Gabriel said.
"What? Vampire bats?" Sallina asked. Gabriel growled.
"Don't maids usually fear and bow to royalty," he asked.
"I'm not that kind of maid," Sallina said and smirked. Sarah sighed.
"Are we finished children?" she asked and the two looked to her.
"She's stereotypical just like the human from aboveground," Gabriel said.
"May I be so kind as to point out that I used to be one of those humans," Sarah commented. Sallina smiled as Gabriel faltered.
"Aw yes, but you are much smarter than they," Gabriel said, oh, nice save. Sarah blushed and Sallina rolled her eyes. Gabriel began to lead them down the cavern. Kera held tightly to Sarah's dress. The little faerie was scared of the dark.
"So who or what are your friends?" Sarah inquired curiously.
"Very uncommon creatures, but I'm sure they would like to meet you," he said. Sallina even began to become curious.
"There's a hidden pool underneath here that they live near," he said as they walked.
"How do you know all this?" Sarah asked as he was holding her hand and leading down, deeper into the cavern.
"The Labyrinth's many caves and tunnels extended to just about every kingdom. I've come here before, exploring. If your not careful and get lost you may be in serious trouble." He warned. "Ah, here we are."
Sarah listened and she could here the trickle of water and small waves. The water, if she could see it, gave off an eerie glow and lit up the cave. Then she heard something else. Hoof-steps?
"Wow!" Sallina said. Gabriel took Sarah's hand and put it so she was holding it out palm upward. Then a slightly furry muzzle nudged her hand. She gasped.
"What are they?" she asked.
"They're cave unicorns," he provided, "They live down here and feed off the minerals in the rock," he said. He failed to mention that because they feed off the minerals they have a green gold color, but he knew better to mention the colors.
"These are very rare," Sallina whispered and reached her hand out to one. It came easily up to her. "By the way Sarah, do you know the old wives tale that unicorns only come up to virgins?" she asked with a sly smile. Sarah glared in her direction.
She moved her hand up the horned pony's muzzle until she reached the steel colored horn. Her hand only stayed there for a brief moment, then pet the creature behind the ear. "They are so soft," she commented.
"Yes, down here is often moist and so their coat is almost always clean and free of parasites," he said.
Sarah told herself she didn't give him enough credit. He was very nice and seemed to care a lot for other creatures. He had studied these very creatures. The Prince of the vampires was quite the charmer, but could he charm enough?
The group stayed in the caves most of the day. They did eventual come across a few bats but they were asleep. They continued on and ended up at an opening to the hill just in front of the Labyrinth entrance. They sat there watching the sun going down.
"Describe it to me," Sarah said abruptly. Sallina raised her eyebrow. Sarah was talking to Gabriel. He looked to her and then to the sun.
"Well, the sun is orange-ish and the sky is a slight pink and blue with clouds." He said. Sarah nodded and sighed to herself concealing a smile.
Behind the group, hidden (not very well) by a bush, was the huffing Cypress. He had followed them all the way from the caves, got chased away by the bats he had woken up, and had to catch up with them again. This was not a good gig to get into.
"We're back!" Sallina called. The royalty, that was left behind, were instantly in the entrance hallway. They looked like they had, had a very uneventful day. Their clothes looked slightly disheveled only in a few places, signs that they had been sleeping. Some yawned and slouched. Sallina had to contain her laughter with coughing. When they split everyone went back to their rooms.
Poor Cypress came crawling in through his bedroom window. "I'm going to take a vacation when this is all over. A very, very long one," he sighed as he laid down on his bed.
His door was suddenly slammed open and Sallina marched in. Cypress yelped and hid behind his bed. "Oh relax spy, I just came to tell you to be more careful when you follow us." she said and frowned at his cowering form.
"Wait you're not mad that I followed you?" he asked as he stood up. Sallina walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Of course not, you were looking after us when we were with the vampire prince. Just be more careful when following us ok? You were lucky the fanged prince was distracted and couldn't hear you," she said and walked back out the door, leaving a blushing Cypress behind.
"Then again, maybe I'll hang around for a while," Cypress said and plopped down on the bed.
Outside a door Sallina smiled evilly. The plan was working properly. Now just to put all the royals in place with Sarah. She went to her own bedroom.
Authoress: (collapses on her couch) THERE! I give you chapter 11!
Zoe: Took you long enough.
Jareth: Seriously!
Authoress: Oh look audience, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb think they can do better.
Jareth: I didn't say that!
Zoe: Nor did I!
Authoress: THEN SHUT YOUR TRAPS AND GET A JOB!
All: Please RR
