LABYRINTH: Birds Fly Over The Rainbow

Chapter 27

Day 88

Sarah woke up to kitten kisses on her eyelids. She smiled and scratched Azure's ears. Sarah stroked Brie's cheek until she woke up. Brie looked up at Sarah and got a blue purr box rub against her forehead instead. She started giggling. Sarah just loved her little family.

Sarah got up and went to the bathroom.  They got dressed and decided they would be girls. Brie put on her white blouse, black skirt, burgundy brocade corset with her belt. Sarah wore her blue outfit with her black corset. She put her knives on her belt and in her boot. Brie fed Azure. She took the remainder of the jewelry and split it up in two bags. They would go to two jewelers. She had taken out a set of gold chains in various sizes for herself, because Brie wanted a set of silver ones. Sarah bagged the rest to sell. Sarah put her coin purse outside with twenty more in gold in it and an extra bag for the gold coins from the jewelers. She knew she would have too much on her if she sold the jewelry.

They got ready to go and had Azure's bag under her cloak as they went downstairs. He thought those two were men or boys. Sarah sat down and said, "May we have two breakfasts and two teas, please?"

He smiled at her politeness and said, "One silver two coppers." Sarah put the money on the counter. He collected it and got them tea and then both plates of eggs, mutton steak, potato cakes and toast with jelly.

Sarah smiled and said, "Can you tell me where a couple of jewelers are? I need to look for something and see if they have it or not." He smiled and gave her  directions to two in the vicinity. Sarah thanked him. She put Azure's bag in her lap with his head sticking out and ate her breakfast with her kitten and child.

Sarah and Brie with Azure in his bag left the inn to the first jeweler she sold what she had in one pouch for 432 gold one of the pendants must have been worth more. They walked into another jeweler and sold the rest for 253 gold. Sarah went straight back to the inn and to the room. She locked the door and put the 685 gold coins in her locket making the total 26,435. Sarah kept the pouch on with 100 gold in it under her dress.

She took Brie shopping for girl clothes for both of them. First she bought two big leather bags from a tanner she spotted on her way to the jeweler. She got a black one and Brie got a brown one.

Sarah went to a couple shops with corsets and blouses and skirts and stockings and they got two pairs of shoes each from a cobbler. Sarah wanted to be a girl in the Goblin City. They were completely outfitted to be girls now. They went back to the inn with their bags full and went to the room and fed Azure. They went down and had lunch with a cup of mead. It was a tasty baked steak and kidney pie with some buttery sweet potatoes.

They sorted out the girl clothes from what they already had combined with the new. They had five corsets to wear outside their clothes, seven long sleeve blouses of different colors and four skirts, in different colors. Six pairs of stockings, two pairs of shoes. And of course the bag to keep them in. They put their jewelry, makeup and a bottle of perfume each of them had from the Dirtball's victims. It was an all girl bag for each of them.

Brie curiously asked, "Sar, why'd ye get us all tha girl thing's today?"

Sarah said, "Because, little one, after this week's stay we are calling King Jareth. He talked to me last night in my dream. He and I talked about everything and he told me to call him when the week is over. He will transport us with the baggage on the horses and all to his castle. We will be staying there indefinitely. At least past the winter, if nothing more it will be safer under the King's protection." Brie launched herself into Sarah's arms and hugged the stuffing out of her.

Brie said, "I love traveling', but it be too cold. I be going anywhere ye go, mama Sar. Ye be me family now. I love ye. Ye make me feel like I be a good girl an safe."
