Ch20 Finding out the Truth

"13 years ago?" Cara asked with wide eyes, "How is that possible? I just met her when I got here."

Morgana sighed, "I'm not sure what Jareth is pulling letting you meet her, maybe he was comparing you."

"What do you mean?"

"Well as you know he had a thing for Sarah and has been curious how she was the first person to get to the center of his labyrinth when normally only those of us with his permission and/or magical help can make it there. So he may have wanted to see the differences in yours and hers journeys."

"But Sarah's journey is so much more difficult then mine," Cara remarked feeling a bit bad that she hadn't had to face what Sarah had.

Morgana shrugged and smiled, "Maybe you're just lucky?" Cara's look told her she didn't buy that, "Okay okay, the truth is the labyrinth is connected to Jareth and while he doesn't want you to leave he can't bring himself to hurt you either."

Cara had a confused look on her face, "But Jareth was in love with Sarah and…"

"It's not the same," Morgana interrupted, "You have my blood in you, the labyrinth recognizes this and is willing to help you. Also we know your family situation is not the same as Sarah's," Morgana grimaced but continued, "And the feelings Jareth has for you are different too. He would have given Sarah anything she wanted but in his heart he knew she wouldn't stay, you however he feels will stay."

Cara's eyes widened at that, "What?"

Morgana smiled, "You know I'm right. Search your heart, for everyone already holds the answers and power they seek in their hearts. You want to stay you feel at home here, more importantly and probably the biggest difference between you and Sarah is you love him."

Cara felt herself blush at the statement Morgana made but she knew she couldn't deny it, she did have feelings for him even if she couldn't understand why it almost felt as if she'd known him her whole life.

Morgana smiled at the blush on Cara's cheeks, "What amazes me is not so much that you love him but that you can purely, he doesn't have to give you anything or be anything but what he is and you accept him. I doubt Sarah would have ever done that, true she was still a child in some ways when she came but your about her age and can understand things in a way a spoiled girl like Sarah couldn't. That what Jareth does he does because he's not experienced in showing his feelings or true self to others, they expect him to be some terrifying king even if he'd be happier not being it you can understand that when others can't. And of course given certain other things I think you'd make an adorable couple."

"What other things?" Cara asked warily, "No offence but this sounds almost like a set up you planned."

"Moi?" Morgana said trying her best to sound innocent, "I don't know what you mean."

Cara sighed again no wonder Merlin looked like he had a headache when she saw him.

"Honestly after all the help I've given you over the years do you really think I'd try to do that?"

"'Help over the years?'" Cara questioned not sure she wanted the answer.

Morgana smiled a little, "I guess it's time you found out the truth about things."

Morgana took Cara's hand and moved her other one as if to wipe something in the air away, as she did the room began to change to show a house surrounded by trees with a grassy yard, "Just so you know we can see them but they can't see us or hear us."

Cara raised an eyebrow at Morgana then noticed she knew where they were, it was the house she'd lived in as a child.

%Now watch, % Morgana said, maybe thought since Cara hadn't seen her lips move she thought they could be speaking in each others mind.
