Episode 10
Franco: You're mad at me?
Gabriella: *Ignores him.* Edmund, or Caspian, can I ride on a horse with one of you?
High Lord Caspian: Sure, Gabs.
Gabriella: How far is Under The Mountain?
High Lord Edmund: 100 yards away, we'll be there in three days.
Franco: We will?
High Lord Caspian: Yes, Franco.
Gabriella: And what are we going to do in those three days?
High Lord Edmund: Watch the stars.
Gabriella: Okay.
Franco: Did you bring a suitcase? I mean, an extra sleeping bag for Lucas?
High Lord Caspian: He's already at the entrance.
Gabriella: He is?
High Lord Caspian: Yes, Gabs.
Franco: *Whispers to Edmund.* How long is she going to she going to be mad at me for?
High Lord Caspian: Forever I suppose. And you were talking to Edmund. Not me.
Franco: Of course I was, Cas.
High Lord Edmund: Forever, Franco.
High Lord Caspian: *Enters the stables/gets his horse ready/brings it out.* Watch out, Gabriella!
Gabriella: *Moves out of the way.*
High Lord Caspian: *Hops a leg over his horse/holds out a hand for her.*
Gabriella: *Takes it/hops on behind him.*
High Lord Caspian: Hold on to me.
Gabriella: *Wraps her arms around him.*
High Lord Edmund: *Gets on his horse along with Franco.*
Gabriella: *Falls asleep on Caspian's back.*
High Lord Edmund: *Notices that Gabriella's about to fall off.* Caspian, I'm gonna take her for a while.
High Lord Caspian: Why?
High Lord Edmund: Because she's fallen asleep on your back and is going to end up falling off if I don't get her passed over to me.
High Lord Caspian: *Stops his horse.*
High Lord Edmund: *Takes her from him.*
Franco: *Swaps over.*
Gabriella: *Wakes up/looks up at him.* Edmund?!
High Lord Edmund: *Shushes her.* Go back to sleep. We've got a long journey a head of us.
Gabriella: *Falls asleep.*
High Lord Edmund: *Makes it pass the forest/watches her sleep/looks up/looks around for a place to camp for the night.* I think we should camp here for the night, Cas.
High Lord Caspian: I think so too, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: Okay.
High Lord Caspian: *Stops his horse.* Lex, we're stopping here for the night.
Franco: You named your horse 'Lex'?!
High Lord Caspian: Yes.
Dominic: How did that happen, Marcel?
Marcel: I don't know, but if we do not act now, she'll become his forever.
Kyle: *Leaves/Spies on Edmund/Gabriella/Caspian from behind the bush.*
Archie: *Joins him/whispers.* What's going on so far?
Kyle: *Whispers.* Their camping here for the night.
Archie: What?
Kyle: Their camping here for the night. But they'll be making a move in the morning to head into the Mountain.
Archie: Is she going to die there?
Kyle: Yes, King Marcel said so himself, but that won't stop us from having Dominic bring her all the way from Hybern Trenton. He's waiting and pacing his room.
Archie: You mean waiting for the right moment to take her from underneath Edmund's nose, and then, bring her here, to bare his seed in her womb, popping the question on her long after she's arrived to Hybern Trenton and to Twilight Shade?
Kyle: Yes, that I do mean, but she'll have to wait until, he's decided to propose to her at the right moment, and then, she'll be his forever, that's when we'll turn her back into a human once again.
Archie: But I thought that you were in love with her?
Kyle: I have to let her go. And I'm married to Tiara, remember? She'll hate me for cheating on her if I did.
Archie: So your letting the human traitor live with your dear brother, in which I presume, is in love with Tiara as well as he is for Gabriella?
Kyle: Yes, but if Tiara is still in love with my brother, she'll have to be killed by him.
Archie: Okay.
Kyle: Do they know that we're watching them from behind a bush?
Archie: No, Kyle, they don't. They can't sense us, because they don't know that we're right here watching them. Or even smell us. Or hear us both whispering from behind here.
Dominic: *Joins them.* How's my future girlfriend doing, Kyle?
Kyle: She's fine, but sleeping.
Dominic: What?
Kyle: She had fallen asleep on Caspian's back, but almost fell off, that was when he had stopped to notice that she was about to get hurt again.
Dominic: So she's fine?
Archie: Yes, she is, but her and Franco seem to be M.I.A
Dominic: What's that suppose to mean, Archie?
Archie: Missing action, or had a failed friendship.
Kyle: I would say a misunderstanding in one another, Archie. Or he wished that she should've been dead in the Mortal Realm.
Dominic: So he wished that she had died in the Mortal Realm with or without someone to save her from complete doom and gloom, Kyle?
Kyle: Dominic, yes, her life would've been a tragedy, but that wouldn't stop us from taking her to the medical room, to turn her into one of us for a lifetime. She'll be happy with whoever changes her cold dead heart, and has broken it so many times before us.
Dominic: Do you love her, Kyle?
Kyle: *Lies/tells the truth.* No, I don't. Besides, I'm married to Tiara. Nothing is never going to come in between me and her.
Dominic: *Smiles.* Then I'll make sure that you stay away from Gabriella when I bring her to King Marcel, and to Twilight Shade, Kyle.
Archie: That's going to be impossible, Dominic, because you might need his help in getting her in and out of the Cauldron, once she's been turned back into a human.
Kyle: Archie's right. You will need my help, Dominic. Besides, she's like family to me already.
Dominic: *Hugs him.* I'm glad that your already starting to see her as part of the family, Kyle Claremont. She will be here with us eventually when Edmund let's her down easy again, and can't afford to handle her anymore like he has done so many times before when she got hurt by Shane Webster at the night of The Great Rite.
Kyle: *Hugs him back.* I know, brother. But what if he hits her as well as Shane has done in the past?
Dominic: Then we'll protect her, Ky.
Archie: And that we will, but one problem, she hasn't met us yet.
Dominic: And that's what I meant by eventually.
Archie: Okay.
Dominic: *Smiles.*
Franco: *Gets of Caspian's horse/helps Edmund with Gabriella.*
High Lord Edmund: *Hops of his horse/ties his horse up to a tree branch.* That'll do, Bessie.
Franco: Seriously 'Bessie'?
High Lord Edmund: *Nods.* Yes. This horse's name is Bessie.
High Lord Caspian: *Puts a tent up/finishes.* Who's going to sleep under the stars and who's going to sleep in the tent?
High Lord Edmund: I don't know.
Franco: I think you should decide, Caspian.
High Lord Caspian: Okay. Me and Gabriella will sleep in the tent.
Franco: *Passes her over to him.*
High Lord Caspian: *Opens the tent's door/lays her in her sleeping bag.*
Franco: *Looks at Edmund.*
High Lord Edmund: *Cringes.* What?
Franco: You cringed when he said he'll take Gabriella. Why?
(Wind rustles in through the trees/leaf's.)
High Lord Edmund: Because I'm still in love with her, but she doesn't need to know.
Franco: Okay. But why?
High Lord Edmund: *Sighs.* Because she's got him.
Franco: Then when she's alone by herself, try and talk to her about your feelings, Edmund. She'll understand you more.
High Lord Edmund: She will?
Franco: Yes, she will.
High Lord Edmund: Do you think she'll know with time that I am the right one for her? And that she'll come running back to me?
Franco: It's according to how she feels about you, Edmund.
High Lord Edmund: Franco, it's me or him she truly loves, and I, backed away from him, because I knew that it was too good to be true. He won her over, by telling her the truth of our past, I can never compete with that, so I'm letting her go to him, but that doesn't mean that I won't help her with every task she gets given to her by Queen Isabella of Under the Mountain.
Franco: You've got to have a little hope.
High Lord Edmund: I know. I just wish that she would be my mate.
Franco: But she's a human.
High Lord Edmund: I know, but soon enough she won't be, Franco.
Franco: Your right about that.
High Lord Edmund: He only wants her, because he wants the curse to be lifted.
Franco: No, he doesn't. It was real love and faith that pulled them both together, Edmund.
High Lord Edmund: So what I'm hearing is that, he's going to end up marrying her after Queen Isabella's death?
Franco: Yes, he is.
High Lord Edmund: Well, now I've started to hate her.
Franco: You can't hate her, because you'll end up losing her forever.
High Lord Edmund: Your right. But I thought that we were suppose to be enemies, Franco?
Franco: We were, then I saw how down you were when you saw Caspian putting her to bed, and then cringed, whenever he said that he was going to sleep with her in his tent. That's how I knew that something was wrong. Something felt out of place between you and her, Edmund.
High Lord Edmund: That's because it did.
Franco: But you still love her.
High Lord Edmund: Of course I still do, but I'm willing to let her go, because I've just realized that I cannot love her any other way anymore than I used to. It's time to let her go and move on with my life.
Franco: But you are gonna still help her out with her tasks, aren't you?
High Lord Edmund: I am gonna help her. Just not when he's near her again.
Franco: Okay.
High Lord Edmund: *Lays a sleeping bag out on the ground for himself.*
Franco: *Collects a couple of logs/starts a camp fire.*
Gabriella: *Wakes up/looks at Caspian.*
High Lord Caspian: *Smiles down at her.* Hey, sleepy head.
Gabriella: Hey.
High Lord Caspian: You nearly fell off my horse.
Gabriella: *Looks around her/realizes that she's in a tent.* I did?
High Lord Caspian: Yes, you did, Gabby.
Gabriella: Okay. How did I end up inside here?
High Lord Caspian: *Strokes her hair.* You were a sleep for quite sometime, I carried you here and Franco helped.
Gabriella: I'm still mad at him.
High Lord Caspian: I know. You hate him.
Gabriella: I still do.
High Lord Caspian: And I'm sorry for all those times that I hurt you back at the manor, and I promise to never to make those same mistakes again.
Gabriella: What have you got to be sorry for, Caspian? I forgave you for all the times that you've hurt me, because I trusted you in some weird way that it caused me to fall in love with you.
High Lord Caspian: It did?
Gabriella: Yes.
High Lord Caspian: *Touches her face.* Have you ever wanted me to kiss you?
Gabriella: *Silent for a moment/Answers.* Yes, maybe.
High Lord Caspian: Well, close your eyes, Gabs. Go on.
Gabriella: *Closes her eyes.*
High Lord Caspian: *Leans forward/kisses her on the lips.*
Gabriella: *Responds.*
High Lord Caspian: *Pulls away.*
Gabriella: *Opens her eyes.*
High Lord Caspian: I love you.
Gabriella: I love you too, Caspian.
High Lord Caspian: *Opens the tent door/walks out of it/holds his hand out for her.*
Gabriella: *Grabs a hold of his hand/spots Edmund sitting by the fire.*
High Lord Edmund: *Looks at fire.*
Gabriella: Caspian, can I talk with Edmund?
High Lord Caspian: Sure, he looks miserable.
Gabriella: *Walks over to him.*
High Lord Edmund: *Looks at her.*
Gabriella: *Sits down next to him.* Why are you so miserable?
High Lord Edmund: *Looks back at the fire.*
Gabriella: The silent treatment game.
High Lord Edmund: *Moves away from her.* Franco, can I sit next to you?
Franco: Why?
High Lord Edmund: Because your the only one who isn't annoying me right now!
Franco: Then sit.
Gabriella: Am I that annoying to him?
High Lord Caspian: He didn't mean it.
Gabriella: Of course he did.
High Lord Caspian: No, he didn't.
Gabriella: I'm going back into the tent of annoyance.
Franco: *Whispers.* Now's your chance, Edmund.
High Lord Edmund: I know.*
Gabriella: *Leaves/gets back inside the tent/closes the tent door/heads inside her sleeping bag/zips it up.*
High Lord Edmund: *Crouches down/un-zips the tent door/gets in/re-zips it back up/sits down beside her.*
Gabriella: *Turns her back to him.* You said that I annoyed you, Ed. And I now know that you cannot be there for me anymore, so it's my first time ever having my feelings hurt by you, Edmund. You made me feel like a nothing. You said you loved me, but I guess I was wrong to think that you did, when you don't really.
High Lord Edmund: I'm sorry.
Gabriella: You should be. You were there for me when I nearly fell off Caspian's horse, but now, your not.
High Lord Edmund: Look at me.
Gabriella: No, your just like Franco. I can see it all now. You hurt me once, then hurt me again.
High Lord Edmund: *Begs.* Please look at me, Gabby.
Gabriella: No. You said so yourself that I am annoying you, Ed
High Lord Edmund: I'm sorry, Gab. I really am. But please look at me.
Gabriella: I don't wanna look at you.
High Lord Edmund: *Starts crying.*
Gabriella: *Turns onto her right hand side/looks up at him/sits up/hugs him.* I forgive you.
High Lord Edmund: *Hugs her back.* But are you still mad at me?
Gabriella: There's nothing for me to be mad about, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: Of course there isn't, Gabs.
Gabriella: Then why let me think that I was annoying to you? I thought we were friends?
High Lord Edmund: *Sighs.* I'll have to tell you the truth sooner or later.
Gabriella: What about the truth, Edmund?
High Lord Edmund: I told Franco, but I haven't told you yet.
Gabriella: About what?
High Lord Edmund: That I'm moving on from you.
Gabriella: But you said that you loved me?
High Lord Edmund: But now I don't. I'll still be there for you, Gabby, just not when he's around.
Gabriella: Hold the train of thought for a moment, your jealous of me being with him?
High Lord Edmund: A little bit.
Gabriella: A little?
High Lord Edmund: Okay. I am jealous.
Gabriella: Because I am in love with him?
High Lord Edmund: Yes, I am jealous of that.
Gabriella: But why?
High Lord Edmund: Because I was in love with you from the moment we met, but after a couple of minutes, or months, you've been here, you seem to have fallen for him.
Gabriella: That's because he loved me before you, after a certain moment, or recent events took place.
High Lord Edmund: Then I can't make you love me, Gabby. You love him, so I'll wait a little bit longer.
Gabriella: Okay.
High Lord Edmund: *Smiles.* So are we cool?
Gabriella: *Spots his tatoo.* We're cool, Edmund. When or how long have you had the tattoo for?
High Lord Edmund: Since I was a little boy, Gabs.
Gabriella: Wow.
High Lord Edmund: Are you attracted to it?
Gabriella: Maybe.
High Lord Edmund: I'm taking that as a yes.
Gabriella: Alrighty then.
High Lord Edmund: Anywho, if Isabella gives you any tasks, I will be there to help you out.
Gabriella: I know.
High Lord Edmund: Okay.
Gabriella: And I do mean what I said before.
High Lord Edmund: What do you mean?
Gabriella: That I liked you as a boyfriend, that was before I found out Caspian was in love me.
High Lord Edmund: So you choosing him?
Gabriella: Yes. Because he fell in love with me, but you and I, made a bargain.
High Lord Edmund: I believe we did, and it cannot be broken.
Gabriella: Oh, believe me, I know it can't can't.
High Lord Edmund: Okay.
Gabriella: I wish that I was yours, but I'm not.
High Lord Edmund: That's because your a human and not a High Fae yet.
Gabriella: I know I am not one of you, but I think I'll remain a human for now.
Kyle: *Whispers to Dominic.* She won't be saying that when Queen Isabella snaps her neck in half and then, she'll be turned by all of the High Lord's of Prythian.
Dominic: But with us, she'll be turned back into a human, and our cauldron will immobilize her body and neck, that way she'll be healed.
Kyle: Healed? As in snapped back into place?
Dominic: Yes.
Kyle: We'll save her life.
Dominic: We will, Kyle.
Archie: But what about her children?
Kyle: The child won't be thought of until later, Archie.
Archie: Is that true?
Dominic: Yes, but she'll be having children with me sometime later on, whenever, I bring her to Vampire Mania Land to meet the King of the cauldron.
Kyle: There's no such thing, Dominic.
Dominic: I know there's not. Gabriella will be mine.
Kyle: Okay. First off, she belongs to nobody, so don't think for a second that you have some claim over her, and besides, she'll say the same thing, Dominic. She is not a price to be won. So lay off her for a while until Edmund gives up on having her around.
Dominic: I will lay off then, but one question: Why are you here, Kyle?
Kyle: Because King Marcel had instructed me to watch her like a hawk all day to make sure that her heart never fails to succeed in making deals with the devil himself.
Archie: *Snickers.* The devil himself? You can't be serious, Kyle?
Kyle: Obviously I am. And I have to go back to tell Marcel that Gabriella is doing alright, she's just having some difficulties with Edmund and Caspian at the moment, but she's really trying to keep herself out of harm's way, and then again, she's failing to keep everyone happy.
Dominic: You tell him that.
Kyle: I will, Dominic.
Dominic: Okay.
Kyle: *Leaves.*
Dominic: He is in love with her, isn't he?
Archie: He's not, but he's trying not scream that he hates her still.
Dominic: Archie, he went hunting for her at her old house, but couldn't find any clues whatsoever. It was as if she was some sort of ghost, and yet, she wasn't. Not until, we found her hiding out here with a bunch of legal Faeries, who are about to change her life from a human to a faerie forever, and then, given birth to a baby girl named Nia.
Archie: That's true.
Dominic: I know.
Archie: Does she know that she is truly meant to be one of us though?
Dominic: No, she's too fragile and delicate.
Archie: Like she can be broken like a piece of glass?
Dominic: Yes, Archie. She's not strong like we are, including the High Fae.
Archie: Will she be used to that by now, Dominic?
Dominic: Of course she will, but it will hurt her more when she dies in their mountain of doom and gloom.
Archie: *Sheds a tear.* She can't end her story there, Dominic, she has got to be given another life to continue her onward story with them. And us lot in Twilight Shade as well. Her story can't end in pain and suffering.
Dominic: And it won't, Archie. She'll be saved and turned by them, as I have said once before in our little conversation based on her life line with them all.
Archie: Then she'll have her happy ending with them? Then us?
Dominic: Yes, with them, then us.
Archie: *Hugs him.*
Dominic: *Hugs him back.* But one more thing, she'll have to forget them all when she comes in search of the Book of Wind.
Archie: But will she be angry about that?
Dominic: No, I don't think she will be, not unless, fate sends her in a different direction.
High Lord Edmund: For now, Gabby. Until, we turn you that is.
Gabriella: *Faces him/lays down on her side.*
High Lord Edmund: Your not tired, are you?
Gabriella: No. I'm just laying down, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: Okay.
Gabriella: What is it?
High Lord Edmund: Nothing.
Gabriella: You don't keep secrets from me, Ed. Apart from that time I asked you about your past, and you didn't want me knowing the truth about you at all.
High Lord Edmund: Try to figure me out inside your head.
Gabriella: But I can't read yours.
High Lord Edmund: Right, I forgot about that. Your a human as you've said before when you had laid down.
Gabriella: That is what I said.
High Lord Edmund: But I can read yours, Gab.
Gabriella: I know.
High Lord Edmund: Have you practicing on putting shields up?
Gabriella: No, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: Okay. Get practicing, Gabs.
Gabriella: I will.
High Lord Edmund: Promise? Do you promise?
Gabriella: I promise.
High Lord Edmund: *Gets inside her head.* I can show you one of my recent memories of the past.
Gabriella: *Inside her mind.* Okay, what happened?
High Lord Edmund: I was very little and my mother and father had gotten killed, and my cousin, Ariel, had taken me in as her own, but one day, everything had changed. Night Court had lost their High Lord named Teodor. He was king of Hybern.
Gabriella: *Inside her head.* Teodor murdered your parents?
High Lord Edmund: Yes, and he made me watch as the suffered.
Gabriella: *Sits up/hugs him/comes out of her mind.*
High Lord Edmund: *Gets out of her mind.*
Gabriella: Why did he do that to you?
High Lord Edmund: He didn't want me to live on my own life surrounded by my own family, so I left.
Gabriella: It was a good choice.
High Lord Edmund: And it's gonna be up to you to make wise decisions without him being around.
Gabriella: Yes, it is up to me, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: *Puts his arms around her.* That's what I said.
Gabriela: I know.
High Lord Edmund: I want to sleep with you in here, but Caspian will be determined to stop me.
Gabriella: That's because I'm his girlfriend.
High Lord Edmund: But you love me too, right?
Gabriella: Only as a friend, Ed.
High Lord Edmund: Okay. I wish we were something much more than that, Gabs.
Gabriella: We'd best be on our way to them two now, Ed, and I know.
High Lord Edmund: *Hears a twig snap from outside the tent/grabs her.*
Gabriella: What is is?
High Lord Edmund: Wrap your arms around my neck, Gabby.
Gabriella: Why?
High Lord Edmund: Because I said so.
Gabriella: But don't you have to unzip the tents door open first before stepping out with me in your arms and then put it down?
High Lord Edmund: *Unzips the tents door.* There. Happy now?
Gabriella: I will be.
High Lord Edmund: *Laughs/stops.* Now wrap your arms around my neck, Gabby.
Gabriella: *Wraps her arms around his neck.*
High Lord Edmund: *Gets up/puts his arms underneath her/carries her out/makes her invisible/glamor's her/whispers.* Keep quiet.
Gabriella: *Whispers.* Okay.
Queen Isabella: *Intrudes/Shouts at Caspian.* YOU SHOULD'VE MARRIED ME, CASPIAN!
High Lord Caspian: Why would I marry somebody who wants to take over the whole entire layout or map of Prythian, Isabella?
Queen Isabella: Because I wanted you to fall for me and not just some human you met.
High Lord Caspian: In fact, I did fall in love with a human and I had her brought here, because her mother was dying, and she can't remember Shane.
Queen Isabella: So we've had two humans enter these lands?
Franco: Yes.
Queen Isabella: What are is her name?
Franco: Gabriella.
High Lord Caspian: You've just betrayed her.
Franco: No, I didn't.
High Lord Edmund: *Still holding Gabriella in his arms.* Yes, you did.
Queen Isabella: Is she here?
All: *Look at each other/back at Isabella.* Yes, but she's invisible.
Queen Isabella: *Lifts the dust from Gabriella's nose.* Now she's seeable. Your welcome, but your not in the safe zone yet.
Gabriella: Why are you doing this, Isabella?
Queen Isabella: Because I wanted Caspian to fall in love with me, but he choose you humans over me.
Gabriella: But it doesn't have to be this way. I'm sure that there's...-
High Lord Edmund: *Puts a hand over her mouth.* Try not to upset her.
Gabriella: *Stays quiet.*
Queen Isabella: Now she stays quiet.
Franco: So are we going to Under The Mountain?
Queen Isabella: Yes, we are.
Franco: Okay.
Gabriella: *Falls asleep in Edmund's arms.*
High Lord Edmund: *Looks down at her.* Sleep, Gabby.
Gabriella: *Faster asleep.*
Queen Isabella: Let's go.
High Lord Caspian: Okay.
Franco: *Walks beside Edmund.* Why did she speak when no-body spoke to her, Ed? She could've gotten us all punished as we're already are.
High Lord Caspian: Because she thought she was being spoken to, but clearly, she wasn't, so I guess that's what she thought, Franco.
