Labyrinth: The Entanglement Of Fates

Chapter 25: An Early Reunion

Roselea's POV

The horses ran as fast as their legs could carry them. We crossed deserts and forests to try to get the castle of the Moonlight Fae. We had to rest our horses again once we found another watering hole. Jareth Everild was still as tense as ever, hoping we will get to castle.

"Jareth, we are really close. Once our horses take water and oats we will be at the castle in no time." I comforted Jareth as we watched the horses drink water in the sparkling sun. We were actually not that far away, my connection with Sarah Williams was getting stronger as we went in the direction of my connection, and when you looked at the map, the dots were almost aliened. I couldn't wait for this loving reunion of Jareth and Sarah Everild. I always thought it was my fault that the Sarahs were captured, I had this unshakable guilt.

Once we got back on our horses we traveled to the castle. My father told me that the castle's name was lost to time, and that was all it was known as now. The moons remains.We finally approached the castle, ruins of a castle that once stood tall and proud, like the Goblin Kingdom. It was located in a dense forest of beautiful fruit trees. It must have been beautiful at night. "It's a shame what happened to this castle. That's what happens to a castle that no longer has magic within it's walls." My Father said as he looked at the castle. 

"Once the Moonlight Fae all left the castle fell to ruins. Without Fae to run a kingdom, the structures just crumble and wear away." 

"I can just imagine what the kingdom looked liked before. It must have been beautiful." I said, looking at the now ruins of a once beautiful castle.

"I actually came here when I was a kid, about your age. My parents would take me to all the different Fae Masquerades, hoping I would find my true love." My Father told me and Jareth Everild rode up next me.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but we are on a mission here. We can reminisce later when we get the Sarahs back." Jareth said, growing quite antsy by the second. Jareth was right, we needed to get to the Sarahs before it was too late. 

"Right, sorry, Jareth. We should storm this castle now, let's go." My Father said as he lead his horse forward a bit more. 

"Sneaking in might be better than going full force with our horses. Not to mention, we need our horses for escape."

"Great idea, Jareth Eden. Now lets see if we can open this door." Jareth Everild said as he sneaked to the door like we did. We then got to the door, a wooden door that was a light coloured wood. There was a blue moon shaped jewel was on the door. We tried to push open the door and that didn't work out. We then tried to pull the door. No luck there either.

"What's next?" I asked. 

"Try and lift it from the bottom?"

"I don't get why it wont open. Surely if it wont open one way, it should open the other." Jareth Everild said both nervous and agitated at the same time.

"Maybe its for the best, after all we don't know what is on the other side. Maybe we should try and find another way in."Jareth nodded, but gave the door one more hard bull, as if for good measure. Just as myself and my father moved to walk around the other side, the door swung open, catapulting Jareth back a foot, causing him to land in the grass on his butt. The door revealed both Sarahs, both of them looking like they were definitely lacking sleep. Sarah Williams automatically came to me for a hug, she was so glad to see me. Sarah Everild looked relieved, but she still seemed a little worried.

"Where is my Jareth?" Sarah Everild asked and I smiled.

"You just hit him with the door and he is on the ground a little frazzled." I replied and the reality of that reply just hit me. I stopped hugging Sarah Williams and checked on Jareth Everild. He was fine, just a little mixed in his emotions as he was reunited with his wife. Both of them were crying, hugging, and kissing each other. It made me cry happy tears as I saw the beautiful reunion of the married couple.

 I then turned to see my father and Sarah. My father giving Sarah a unexpected hug. She didn't reject him, she just let it happen.Maybe there was a future for them, just maybe, but I wasn't going to assume that it will happen. This was probably the first step for them, maybe they will end up like Sarah and Jareth Everild. It would be nice to have a mother.

 Soon, Jareth and Sarah Everild joined us, all now wanting to return to the castle. As we turned to leave, we were halted by a ring of flames surrounding us and a smaller circle around me. 

"Roselea!" Everyone yelled, my father had a face filled with fear.

"We will all help you, don't worry, Roselea." Jareth Everild said with a terrified Sarah Everild holding his hand. 

"Get away from my prize, Jareths' and Sarahs'!" A voice bellowed within the walls. Suddenly I was floating with the flaming cage into the tower of the castle that was still somewhat intact. Everyone yelled and watched me floating away in the flaming cage. I was placed into the tower and the flames subsided. I was now trapped in this tower. I need to get out of here, but the window had bars made of pure flame.

"Finally, you are mine." A voice resonated around the room. A very familiar voice.

"I know that voice." I said to the room.

 "That's not possible..." I was cut off when my captor appeared in front of me.
