Ch13 You're who?!
Daniel had Cara follow him for awhile till they came to a field of flowers.
"That's weird," Daniel said
"What is?" Cara asked.
"We shouldn't be here I was trying to get you back to the beginning." Daniel covered his mouth once he realized what he'd said.
"What?!" Cara asked shocked "Is that why Ludo and I got separated? I thought you were my friend."
Daniel could see the hurt in her face, which only made him feel worse. "I am honest! It's just…"
"He didn't want you to leave so he and Jareth decided he'd make it so you couldn't win," a voice said.
Cara and Daniel turned to see a young woman in a dark blue gown with long black hair, like a hidden pool at midnight, she was holding some flowers in her hand as she turned her dark brown eyes settled on them and Cara's eyes widened slightly. She could have passed for her sister! She looked almost exactly like her and Niki; suddenly the woman broke out into a smile.
"Morgana Le Fay?!" Daniel shouted with evident surprise on his face.
*WHO?!* Cara thought obviously surprised to see someone like her in a place like this, though considering the Labyrinth she shouldn't have been, and that she would look like they could be related.
"Yes dear," she said turning to Daniel for a second then back to Cara with an extremely happy look on her face, "Oh sweetie just look at you." She said throwing her arms open, causing her to drop the flowers, and running up to Cara giving the shocked girl a hug "I swear I don't check on you for a couple years and you go and grow up on me! I can see you have the good genes you look so much like me!"
*Huh?* Cara thought slightly scared by the fact that not only had Morgana just hugged her, and knowing legends about her knew what she was capable of, but that she seemed so pleased to see her. That coupled with the fact Morgana's face had suddenly become serious only made Cara more worried, Morgana released Cara from the hug but still kept a hold of her. Morgana looked down and before Cara could ask what she was doing she quickly, and rather roughly, grabbed Cara's chest which cause the poor girl to scream in shock and pain.
"Yeowch!"
"For crying out loud girl! Where did you get a rack like that?!" Morgana asked.
"L-l-lady Morgana!" Daniel addressed her, trying to hide his shock and embarrassment of what had just happened.
"Yes what is it?" she asked as if nothing had happened.
"Owie owie please let go," Cara asked as politely as she could, under the circumstances, when suddenly another voice spoke.
"Honestly Morgana can't I let you out of my sight for one minute?!" it asked in a slightly irritated manner.
Cara turned as best she could to see and older gentleman in a long robe with a white beard and an unhappy look on his face staring at them.
"What do you mean?" Morgana asked sounding like she'd done nothing wrong.
The old man sighed and crossed over to them taking Cara off Morgana thereby releasing her from Morgana's death grip on her chest. "We talked about this. You can't go around sexually harassing your grandchildren," he said matter-of-factly.
"Well damn they're busting out of her top like a couple of cantaloupes how could I not grab them?" Morgana answered in the same matter-of-fact tone causing the old man to sigh again.
*Morgana Le Fay is my grandmother?!* Cara thought slightly confused * And she grabbed my chest?* Cara's face went from confused to rather creeped out and exhausted, *Oi my grandmother just felt me up.* She felt herself shiver from the thought then finding her voice addressed the old man, who seemed to be the more reasonable one, "Um excuse me sir but what do you mean by 'her grandchildren'?"
The old man looked at her with a surprised expression then back at Morgana "You did that to her and she doesn't even know?!" he asked sounding very frustrated.
"What?!" Morgana asked once again sounding either shocked or innocent of anything.
The man sighed and turned back to Cara, "Well my dear since Morgana doesn't seem to want to explain I will. I am Merlin."
*MERLIN?!* Cara screamed in her head *Where are these people coming from?!*
"And this woman is Morgana Le Fay, your great-grandmother on you fathers side. She's been keeping an eye on you and your sister since you were born making sure you were both safe. Of course we can't directly interfere in mortals lives and since you and your sister are basically mortal she couldn't help with your… home problems." His face saddened slightly as Morgana's looked angry; Cara knew why her home life was anything but pleasant.
After taking a moment to take it all in she spoke "So Morgana Le Fay easily one of the greatest of all faery queens; the half sister of King Arthur is my sister's and mines grandmother?"
"Oh you know about me!" Morgana chimed happily.
"Of course I love legends," Cara responded.
Morgana looked like she might hug her again but Merlin stopped her, "Yes my dear as hard as it might be to believe you two are related."
"Actually I can kind of see it," Cara said making Merlin look surprised again.
"You can?"
"Yes she acts a lot like my sister does when she's hyper."
"Ha!" Morgana said with a smile "I told you Niki and I were a lot alike."
Merlin gave Cara a look which seemed to say Really?! and I'm sorry, at the same time.
"Yes and speaking of Niki I have to get out of here and find my way to the castle to get Niki back," Cara stated "Do you know how I can get out of here?"
