Chapter 9: What am I to do?
"Oh My Gods! Are you alright mistress?" Lisa said, well more like yelled, as she came into my room, Jareth, Max and Inu following behind her.
"Shh… I'm fine, please don't yell. What happened? How did I get here, and out of my dress no less?" I asked, shaking my head to clear it. I could still taste the blood of the vampire in my mouth and my leg hurt, like it had been bitten.
"Well I got you out of your dress silly. AS to what happened I think that His Majesty would be the best person to talk to 'bout that." Lisa said, avoiding my gaze and fixing the bedspread.
Max and Inu jumped up on my bed and snuggled close to me. Inu was back in his wolf from and looking miserable, like he was stuck out in a terrible wind storm on a cold night. Max was in his Batman PJs and he looked terrified. I hugged them both close to me as I looked to Jareth fro an explanation.
"Well, it seams that Princess Cassandra was most displeased to see that it was you behind the mask. She tried to attack you with a knife, but Inuyasha deflected it before it could hurt anyone. Then she decided to try and drain your life force, however that did not work. Seams that its almost impossible to drain your life force, like a vampire or werewolf. Anyway, she managed to take a little bit and then the spell rebounded on to her and she's not going to be happy when she wakes up in the morning." He gave off a bark of biter laughter.
"So I'm good to go, I've just got a bit of… of… a hang over, for lack of a better term." I said. I was desperately trying to stay awake.
"Yes, you could say that. Why don't you try to get some more sleep, the castle wont be awake for another couple of hours by my reckoning, then I'll need your help." Jareth looked at me with concern written all over his face.
"Ok then, I'll get some more sleep. That sounds good. Good night." I said, only half awake by this time.
"Come on Max, you should be still in bed." Lisa said, holding out a hand for him.
"NO! I'm not going, Mummy needs me!" The little boy shouted, clinging tightly to my body, his little hands clutching my night gown tightly.
"Just leave him here Lisa; he's not going any wear without some really good reason." I looked down at him lovingly. He had is eyes squeezed shut, bracing for someone to try and pull him off. "He'll be fine here."
Lisa just nodded and left.
I rolled over onto my side and pulled Max close to me and cuddled him. Inuyasha laid at my feet. I willed my wings into being and let them settled over my and Max, so then we would be really comfy, and drifted off to sleep.
