Episode 11

Franco: Oh, Okay.

Queen Isabella: *Puts chains around Caspian's hands.*

High Lord Caspian: Why are you doing this, Isabella?

Queen Isabella: Because I just wanted you to be mine.

High Lord Caspian: But I will never want you, Isabella. I'll be marrying Gabriella soon and have about three to four kids.

Queen Isabella: Your choosing a human being over me?

High Lord Caspian: Yes.

Queen Isabella: Your gonna watch her die with every task that I give her.

High Lord Caspian: Fine! Aren't you suppose to say something, Ed?

High Lord Edmund: *Apologizes.* Sorry, Cas, but I was always on Isabella's side.

High Lord Caspian: Your still a whole then.

Gabriella: *Wakes up/turns to face Edmund.*

High Lord Edmund: *Looks down at her.* Don't worry, Gabby. I'm fine.

Gabriella: I know.

High Lord Edmund: Okay.

Gabriella: *Goes to touch his face.*

High Lord Edmund: *Holds her hand.* As I said before, Gabby. I am fine!

Gabriella: Okay. I do care about you, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: I know.

Gabriella: Alrighty then.

High Lord Edmund: *Puts a hand over her eyes/sends her back to sleep once more.*

Queen Isabella: And as for Gabriella, she'll be locked up in a cellar.

Franco: You can't do that, Isabella.

Queen Isabella: Then you'll be locked in the cellar with her.

Franco: Second thought, she's mad at me, she probably might not want to be locked up in a cellar with me at all, so I make do with being apart of the crowd instead, along with my sisters.

Queen Isabella: I guess so.

Kyle: *Makes it back to Vampire Mania Land/sees Marcel standing by the cauldron.*

Marcel: What is it?

Kyle: I've got some news to tell you on about the girl that was taken to Prythian.

Marcel: You have?

Kyle: *Shakes his head.* Yes, I have.

Marcel: And what is it?

Kyle: Gabriella had a falling out with Franco, because she wanted to sacrifice herself to save their people from dying of a curse that has been roaming their land since before she arrived, so in a certain way, I feel sorry for her.

Marcel: So she's sacrificing herself to save their people?

Kyle: Yes, she is.

Marcel: What happened?

Kyle: Her and Franco had an argument, so now, their not talking to each other, Marcel.

Marcel: Kyle, Franco should let her do what's best for them all, as she said, she can't just sit back and watch. She has to act.

Kyle: But he won't let her make choices for herself, let alone, sacrificing herself into doing what is necessarily, going to end up getting her killed in the process by Queen Isabella.

Marcel: I know.

Kyle: You know because of the cauldron?

Marcel: Yes. I don't see why such a fragile human needs to sacrifice themselves in order to save their people from dying of a blight.

Kyle: I'm glad that it's not in our realm. Otherwise, I would've said something ages ago.

Marcel: Well, it's too late to say something now.

Kyle: What do you mean?

Marcel: She's practically toast now, so whatever happens, she's going to die there.

Kyle: Surely, there's got to be another way of saving her before death takes it's toll on her, Marcel.

Marcel: There's no other way, Kyle. Apart from getting her to be turned into a High Fae, and then back here, only to be turned back into a human once again, but with new boundaries to keep her protected from certain threats.

Kyle: Certain threats?

Marcel: Yes.

Tiara: *Joins them.* Why are we still going on about her, Marcel?

Marcel: Because she's the future of Twilight Shade and we're going to get her to come here for the other half of the book, that's if she ever finds it hidden in amongst our lands, then she'll be ours for a new generation. She won't be a Illyrian then.

Tiara: She's going to become one of us after we tried to kill her back at her house of ashes?

Marcel: Yes. Gabriella will be one of us, and I lied, she's meant to be with me.

Kyle: Why did you lie, Marcel?

Marcel: Because I thought it was best to say that Gabriella was meant to be with you or Dominic.

Kyle: So she's to be with you, Marcel?

Marcel: I think so, but technically, she belongs to no-one, not until, her fate, somehow changes.

Kyle: But you've just said that she was going to be with you, Marcel.

Marcel: I know what I said, and I can always be dishonest when I don't exactly know anything.

Kyle: Okay, but does she any up with Dominic as planned?

Marcel: That is entirely up to her, she'll choose her mate. And the one that she'll be with forever.

Tiara: But does this mean that she'll be in more danger again if the council finds out that we've got a human traitor living in amongst us, even after she's been turned into a High Fae like Shane Webster , when he first arrived in Prythian, claiming that he was in a relationship with her?

Marcel: Yes, Gabriella will be in severe danger, Tiara.

High Lord Caspian: Let's get on with it.

Queen Isabella: Okay.

(They enter Under The Mountain.*

Queen Isabella: *Calls on the attor.* Take Gabriella from Edmund and lock her up in the cellar.

Attor: Yes, your majesty.

Queen Isabella: Then start her up on some mean less chores to do.

Attor: Anything else?

Queen Isabella: That's all.

Attor: As you wish your majesty.

Queen Isabella: As I wish?

Attor: *Takes Gabriella out of Edmund's arms.* It shall be done, your majesty.

Queen Isabella: Good. Now go.

Attor: *Flies Gabriella down to the dungeons.*

Gabriella: *Gets hit with a couple of stones/Moans.*

Attoe: *Lays her down on the floor/unlocks the cell door/opens it/picks her up/places her on a bed.*

Gabriella: *Wakes up/looks around.*

Attor: *Walks out/closes the cell door/locks her up.*

Gabriella: *Looks straight at him.* Where's Caspian? Where's Edmund?

Attor: *Looks at her.* Don't ask me questions, human.

Gabriella: Then I won't.

Attor: Your first task would be to clean and mop the kitchen floor, whilst Queen Isabella thinks of the first task you should do.

Gabriella: Does it have to be with spiders as well?

Attor: What?

Gabriella: Never mind. I'll probably end up dead anyway.

Attor: Why do you think your really here for?

Gabriella: Because she wants me to fail at almost everything during in those trails she'll give me, and then, to decide on burning me all to pieces of ash and grain.

Attor: Yes, we're all counting on you to set us all free.

Gabriella: I know.

Attor: You'll just do great, I know it.

Gabriella: Okay.

Attor: And you look pretty much blooded up. I'll send for someone to heal you.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: *Pears behind him.* Attor, you won't need too. I'm here now. Isabella's calling for you.

Attor: She is?

High Lord Edmund: Yes, she is.

Attor: *Hands him the keys.*

High Lord Edmund: You may go.

Attor: *Leaves.*

Gabriella: *Winces/feels pain/sits up/vomits.*

High Lord Edmund: *Opens the cellar's door/rubs her back.*

Gabriella: *Lies back down.* Where's Caspian?

High Lord Edmund: He's chained up and sitting beside her.

Gabriella: Oh, okay.

High Lord Edmund: *Grabs her hand/puts a tattoo on her right arm.*

Gabriella: *Looks at it.* It's a heart.

High Lord Edmund: *Makes her dried up blood disappear/heals her/looks at her tattoo/looks into her eyes.* It is. And it's got a rose beside it.

Gabriella: *Spots the rose.* I see it, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: I know.

Gabriella: Is your one like mine?

High Lord Edmund: Different to yours actually.

Gabriella: How?

High Lord Edmund: It's wavy and it has stars.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: And I was lying to you before.

Gabriella: Lying abut what exactly?

High Lord Edmund: I'll tell you when your re-made into one of us.

Gabriella: Would it be easier to tell me whilst I'm still alive and well?

High Lord Edmund: No.

Gabriella: Fine. But I'm still gonna trust in you, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: I know.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: Get some rest, Gabby.

Gabriella: But what about if I don't want too?

High Lord Edmund: *Gets on top of her/strokes her cheeck.* Then I will punish you for not listening to me.

Gabriella: I'll listen to you, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: Good girl.

Gabriella: Now will you please get off me?

High Lord Edmund: Sure. But no.

Gabriella: Why?

High Lord Edmund: Because you break too many promises.

Gabriella: *Gasps.*

High Lord Edmund: I wish those gasps were for me.

Gabriella: They are for you, Ed, but not for Caspian anyway.

High Lord Edmund: *Hugs her.*

Gabriella: *Hugs him back.*

High Lord Edmund: *Smiles.* Have you ever been dancing?

Gabriella: No. And I can't dance.

High Lord Edmund: *Looks at her.* You can't dance?

Gabriella: No.

High Lord Edmund: *Smiles again/gets off her.* I can teach you.

Gabriella: You will?

High Lord Edmund: I've... I mean yes, I will. And I will help with brand new words, Gabs.

Gabriella: Okay. How did you know that I couldn't spell big words, Ed?

High Lord Edmund: Because your mind gave you away.

Gabriella: Oh.

High Lord Edmund: *Traces a hand over her tattooed arm.*

Gabriella: What are you doing?

High Lord Edmund: *Adds some stars to her heart tattoo/Rose tattoo.* Adding some stars to it, including an eye. Give me your hand.

Gabriella: *Puts her right hand on his chest.*

High Lord Edmund: *Grabs it.*

Gabriella: What are you going to do?

High Lord Edmund: *Places an eye in the center of her palm.* This is what I was going to do.

Gabriella: *Looks down at her palm/watches the eye.* It's blinking at me.

High Lord Edmund: I know. And I'm going to be watching you through that eye.

Gabriella: You are?

High Lord Edmund: Yes, I am.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: I have to go now.

Gabriella: Why?

High Lord Edmund: Queen Isabella's summoning for me.

Gabriella: Alrighty then.

High Lord Edmund: Okay. What is it?

Gabriella: I want you to stay.

High Lord Edmund: *Smiles/kisses her cheek.* I promise to come back tomorrow.

Gabriella: *Returns a smile.* Make sure you do.

High Lord Edmund: *Gets off her/walks out of the cell/closes the door/locks her up.* I do promise you.

Gabriella: I know. I just don't want to rot away in this cell.

High Lord Edmund: You won't, Gabby.

Gabriella: *Gets up from the bed/stands by the gate/reaches through the bars/strokes his cheeks.*

High Lord Edmund: *Holds her hand.* I will be back.

Gabriella: *Blows a kiss to him.* That's for Caspian.

High Lord Edmund: Okay. Can I leave now?

Gabriella: Yes, you may.

High Lord Edmund: *Let's go of her hand.*

Gabriella: *Watches him leave/lays back down on her bed.* I guess I should enjoy my life until Queen Isabella kills me.

Lucas: *Comes in.* Surely, she won't do that, Gabby.

Gabriella: *Sits up.* Why?

Lucas: Because she wants you to slay the wyrm tonight.

Gabriella: How on earth am I going to be able to defeat it, Lucas?

Lucas: You'll have ideas that you'll have to come up with.

Gabriella: Okay.

Lucas: There's a couple of bones in it's den.

Gabriella: Oh. But how are the bones even in there, Lucas?

Lucas: There were Faeries in there trying to train it to kill and hunt down it's prey.

Gabriella: And what did it kill and why were there even faeries in there to begin with?

Lucas: Because they thought they could tame it, so it killed a Faerie named Cardan.

Gabriella: Oh.

Lucas: And Franco wanted to come and wish you luck on defeating the wyrm.

Gabriella: He's afraid of coming to see me?

Lucas: He isn't. He's just upset with what he had said to you that day, before we, you know, got trapped in here, Under The Mountain.

Gabriella: Okay.

Lucas: And Caspian's been silent for the past couple of hours, ever since we parted and put you in a cellar.

Gabriella: I know, and what's worse is having Franco, you, Caspian and Edmund watching me fight to my death.

Lucas: I know. But if you think about it, it's not so bad.

Gabriella: It's not so bad?

Lucas: Of course it's not.

Gabriella: What is it?

Lucas: I meant what I said before, I am really worried about you, Gabs.

Gabriella: I know you are all worried for me, Lucas.

Lucas: Okay.

Gabriella: Me and you never really talked much to each other, but now we are.

Lucas: That's because I never wanted to say anything to hurt your feelings, and I did.

Gabriella: How?

Lucas: By not trusting you to make your own decisions for yourself, but somehow you got into my mind, and then, spoke to me.

Gabriella: What?

Lucas: Your voice got stuck inside my mind, Gab.

Gabriella: My voice go stuck inside your head?

Lucas: It did. So I just had to come and see you before you end up in the den with the wyrm.

Gabriella: I know.

Lucas: And we'll do our best in praying that you'll live through this.

Gabriella: Are you sure? Are you actually sure that I might live through this, Lucas?

Lucas: Yes, you will.

Gabriella: But what happened to... Never mind.

Lucas: I will.

Franco: *Joins him/doesn't look at her.* I was just coming to see what was keeping you, Lucas.

Lucas: You were?

Franco: Yes, I was.

Gabriella: *Shouts.* Am I that invisible to you, Franco?!

Franco: *Yells.* YES, YOU ARE!

Gabriella: *Goes sad/turns onto her side.* I want you both to leave me alone!

Franco: I didn't mean it like that, Gabs.

Gabriella: *Sobs/cries.* Just go!

Franco: But-

Gabriella: *Cuts him off.* You've hurt me enough times, Franco, so just go the both of you!

Franco: No.

High Lord Edmund: *Comes in behind them both.* She said leave, Lucas and Franco!

Both: *Unison.* We're going, Edmund.

High Lord Edmund: Good leave.

Both: *Leave.*

High Lord Edmund: *Calls.* Attor, can I have the keys please?

Attor: *Comes in/hands the keys/leaves.*

High Lord Edmund: *Unlocks the gate to the cell/walks in/walks to over to her/sits down beside her.*

Gabriella: *Sits up.* He hurt me five times now.

High Lord Edmund: *Takes her in his arms.* Your right about that. He thinks your invisible, but to me, your not, and most certainly not invisible to Lucas and Caspian.

Gabriella: You've just brightened up my day.

High Lord Edmund: I believe I just did.

Gabriella: *Stops crying.*

High Lord Edmund: Your okay.

Gabriella: I know.

High Lord Edmund: *Unwraps his arms from around her.*

Gabriella: *Looks at him through wet eyelashes.*

High Lord Edmund: *Sighs/grabs her hand.* Do you want me to lick them for you, Gabs?

Gabriella: *Shakes her head.* Yes, but isn't it disgusting? Licking my eyelashes?

High Lord Edmund: No, it isn't.

Gabriella: *Closes her eyes.*

High Lord Edmund: *Licks her tears/eyelashes/finishes.* Now open your eyes.

Gabriella: *Opens her eyes.*

High Lord Edmund: Do you feel better now?

Gabriella: *Hugs him.* Yes, I am.

High Lord Edmund: Are you tired, Gabs.

Gabriella: No, Ed. I'm not tired.

High Lord Edmund: Do you want me to put you to sleep?

Gabriella: Yes, Ed. You would do me one better if you stop me from having nightmares.

High Lord Edmund: I would actually, Gabs.

Gabriella: Okay. And please stay with me.

High Lord Edmund: *Takes her in his arms/gets up/lays here down/pulls a quilt over her.* I can't, but since you said please, I will.

Gabriella: *Tries to pulls asleep.* I can't seem to seem.

High Lord Edmund: *Puts her to sleep.*

Gabriella: *Lays on her left hand side.*

High Lord Edmund: *Whispers into her ear.* Franco will never hurt you again, Gabs. I won't allow that to ever happen to you again, and I'll be by your side, so you'll never feel harmed or hurt ever again.

Gabriella: *Moves/goes to fall off.*

High Lord Edmund: *Holds her/stops her from falling out of the cell bed/gets in under the quilt behind her/falls faster asleep himself/thinks.* She'll be our mate when she is transformed into a high fae forever.

Gabriella: *Turns into him/groans/wakes up screaming.*

High Lord Edmund: *Wakes up/groans/wraps his arms around her/tries to her calm her down/lays back with her in his arms.* Your going to be okay.

Gabriella: *Calms down.*

High Lord Edmund: Was it a nightmare?

Gabriella: Yes, it was.

High Lord Edmund: What happened, Gabriella?

Gabriella: I was walking through the woods and out of nowhere pops out the Bogge, and Shane trying to murder me, all because I didn't remember him.

High Lord Edmund: *Puts a hand over her tattoo's that he created for her.* Your going to be alright, Gabs.

Gabriella: *Lays back down.* I'm not sure that I'm going to be.

High Lord Edmund: *Leans over her.* I know. Because your going to be in the den with the wyrm tonight.

Gabriella: I know.

High Lord Edmund: We're all with you.

Gabriella: You are?

High Lord Edmund: Yes, we are.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: Do you want help with them wyrm?

Gabriella: I may need it anyway.

High Lord Edmund: Well, how about if I get inside your mind and help you win against it?

Gabriella: I would very much like that, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: You would?

Gabriella: Yes, I would, Ed, since your the only one that's ever been there for me.

High Lord Edmund: I'm always going to be there for you. No matter if we're not mated or not, I'll always be there for you.

Gabriella: *Wraps her arms around him.* We'll have to tell my kids, if I ever have any, the story of us, about the legend, but most of all, you and them High Lords.

High Lord Edmund: We would have to.

Gabriella: I love you, Ed.

High Lord Edmund: You love me?

Gabriella: Yes, I do. I am no longer afraid. I'm fearless.

High Lord Edmund: I love you too.

Gabriella: We have to go.

High Lord Edmund: I know.

Gabriella: *Gets up/notices the eye blinking at her.*

High Lord Edmund: *Gets up from the bed.* I'll take you there.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: *Grabs her hand/links up to her.*

Gabriella: *Trips up/cuts herself.*

High Lord Edmund: *Grabs her/spots a bit of blood of coming from her hand/heals it/wipes it/makes the wet sample of blood disappear.* I'm going to carry you the rest of the way.

Gabriella: Okay.

High Lord Edmund: *Picks her up.*

Gabriella: *Wraps her arms around his neck.*

High Lord Edmund: Your going to be okay.

Gabriella: I know.

High Lord Edmund: *Enters the arena with her.*

Queen Isabella: *Shouts/calls him.* Bring fourth the human, Edmund.

High Lord Edmund: *Carries her forward/puts her feet to the floor.*

Queen Isabella: Are you ready for your first task?

Gabriella: Yes, but a little bit afraid.

Queen Isabella: You should be, human.

Gabriella: *Silence.*

Queen Isabella: Are you afraid to talk?

Gabriella: *Shakes her head.* No.

Queen Isabella: *Looks at Caspian/back at her.* Then what are you afraid off, Gabs?

Gabriella: *Looks around her/back at Isabella/faints.*

Queen Isabella: *Runs towards her.* Does this always happen?

High Lord Edmund: *Kneels down beside Gabriella.* No, Franco made her faint a couple of times, but this time, she's doing it all on her own.

Queen Isabella: Okay.

Gabriella: *Tries to wake up/feels pain.*

Queen Isabella: *Kneels down beside her.* Franco, release Caspian.

Franco: *Rushes over to Caspian/releases him.*

High Lord Caspian: *Runs towards Gabriella/sits beside Edmund.* What happened?
