The Resurrection Quest
Well guys after a long absence for classwork and regular work I've decided to see about finishing this series before I start on my new story. Sorry for the long wait and enjoy :)
The same disclaimers still apply.
Part 11
"Have you found anything yet?"
"No. Your Majesty..."
Anya glared at the captain of the guard which made a few bystanders uneasy. "Then why," she asked, teeth gritting together, "did you bother coming here?! Do you at least know HOW she got out?! She can't have just disappeared!"
"I am sorry your Highness... we have not found that out either but rest assured... our men are right on top of that. This murderess will meet her fate soon enough."
Anya nodded, a slight smile on her face. "Jareth will be avenged. If nothing else... that is what I want to happen..."
The guard nodded and made his leave.
Upon the guard's leaving, Anya sighed and shook her head. "Moron," she muttered.
"Maybe she went to Jareth's tomb," a servant nearby chirped up... but stopped talking as he was treated to one of the meanest glares he's ever seen.
"That's the last place she'd go," Anya replied, "She was just making up that ressurection crap to get out of here... willing to shift the blame to Tristan to save her worthless hide!"
If that wasn't bad enough... Tristan still seemed stuck on this ressurection idea... probably out searching for Sarah right now... Why all the damn fuss for a mere human?
Of course he's human too... despite all his training and magical potential he's still human... prone to the same damn faults as the rest of his kind.
Anya smiled once more as a thought came to mind.
Turning to the servant quickly, she narrowed her eyes, "Go fetch the captain... I have a change in orders."

"How's the nose holding up?," Tristan asked as he saw the knight stop at a divide in paths.
"Tis good," came the reply as Dydimus sniffed the ground, then pointing to a path that lead off the main one. "She and someone else went this way."
The group followed the brave knight as he went on the small trail.
"I shall be telling this with a sigh. Somewhere ages and ages hence... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I..." Tristan muttered as they advanced.
"...I took the one less traveled by..." Cole replied.
Smiling, the older man looked at Cole, "...And that has made all the difference. Very good... Do you know this one? Thirty days hath September. April, June and November. All the rest have thirty one. 'cept for February which stands alone... It has twenty eight that's fine..."
"But leap year gives it twenty nine!" Cole finished yet again.
Jareth watched the scene before him and sighed. "I swear of this bunch, I can stand Hoggle the most!"
"Hey!," Cole replied back, "That's not nice!"
"It wasn't meant to be."

"How much did you give here?"
Sarah was greeted to the waking world by this question. One obviously not directed at her. Not that she'd be good for answering at the moment... Although awake... she felt drained... as if someone had stapled her eyes shut... she just couldn't open them. Moving was out of the question too. All she could do was listen...
"I don't remember... didn't think it would last this... wait... I think it's wearing off..."
"No matter... the muscle movement will be minimized in her limbs for awhile at least... Odd side effect when introduced to humans."
The other voice let out a low chuckle, directing his next comment to Sara, "How unfortunate for you... Even the plants are against your quest."
Sarah tried to reply to this... At least ask why they were doing this... something... But all that she accomplished was moving her lips slightly.
"Look she's trying to speak. I think we hit a nerve."
"Might as well stop... the only thing you're accomplishing is warning us about how much of the stuff is still in you."
Sarah could hear a bit of rustling in the background and listened worriedly... Not being able to see made things seem a lot scarier.
Soon the rustling stopped and she could hear the footsteps approaching her once more...
"We'll have to abandon you here I'm afraid but I wouldn't worry... We're leaving you with some company.
Sarah, still trapped in darkness produced by her closed eyes, felt herself being dragged a few feet.
"Oh she's heavy."
"Shut up and push."
With that Sarah felt herself being shoved forward... Off balance she began to fall.
... and fall...
Heart racing Sarah gave a silent scream.
