Amethyst Point



DISCLAIMOR- I don't own Labyrinth, or any characters in Labyrinth. Any characters I add of my own are mine.

" Excuse ma'am, are we almost to England?"

Darby stopped a passing Stewardess and asked.

" Almost Miss. Do you want something to drink?" The large brown haired and eyed Stewardess asked Darby who brushed the question aside and beamed out the plane window over England. She grasped the Amethyst point around her slim long neck and brushed her silver hair out of her blue teary eyes.



Darby had been fourteen when her Grandmother died and when her family had moved out of England. The Amethyst point necklace was the only thing she had left of her Grandma. She had, had more, but her mother, and sisters stole them from her. The Amethyst point was what she hid from them until she was fifteen and fibbed that it was a gift from her friend. Her Grandma had left it especially for her.



" Remember Darby, this necklace holds a great power. Only I, and now you, know how to activate it's power. But only when it's an emergency." Her Grandma had always told her when she was little, and again when she was fourteen, and had a few moments left with her Grandma.



She was seventeen when she heard that David Bowie was doing a music contest in England. Her family resented her singing, and succeeding in life, and forbid her to go. It was only two days ago that she snuck out of her house at night and snuck on a plane to England. She had only a few scraps of clothing in a little duffle bag, the clothes on her back, and her Grandma's necklace.

" Miss?" The Stewardess tapped Darby on the shoulder. Darby turned to face the Stewardess and noticed that she and the Stewardess were the only ones left on the plane. " We're here." The Stewardess told her, knowing she didn't have to. Darby stood out of her seat uneasy and walked down the aisle of the plane. Darby was very tall, and very slim. She had her father's silver hair that went to her hips and his green emerald eyes. She wore her black sweatshirt with a " Phantom of the Opera" patch pinned on the back, and had red and black checkered tight pants with the knees worn out.

When she and the Stewardess reached the terminal, Darby pulled out her pamphlet for the Music Competition at which David Bowie would be judging. The Stewardess was able to catch a glimpse of what Darby was looking over and smiled.

" Miss?" She nudged. " Would you like a ride to the Competition? My brother is also going to the competition, and I noticed, you are kind of young to drive." Darby turned to look at the burly Stewardess with brown hair and smiled back.

" Thank you, ma'am, that would be wonderful!" She said gratefully. The Stewardess held out her hand and Darby took it acceptingly and they shook hands.

" I'm Tracy."

" Darby, nice to meet you Tracy."

Darby and Tracy both headed to the bag pick-up so Darby could pick up her stuff. Darby found her small black duffle bag easily, picked it up, and threw it over on her shoulder. Tracy seemed confused at such a small bag.

" Where's your family Darby?" Tracy finally asked as the two walked out of the airport.

" I'm a run away." Darby replied with ease. The Amethyst point bounced as Darby walked and caught Tracy's eye. Tracy stopped and placed a hand on Darby's shoulder and stopped her too.

" What a pretty necklace Darby!" Exclaimed Tracy who touched with her finger. * Fire! * Darby thought. Tracy took back her finger sharply and put it in her mouth.

" What?" Darby asked. Tracy took her finger out of her mouth and blew on it.

" It's like fire!" Tracy exclaimed. Darby smirked and continued walking.

" It must have gotten hot from the sun." Tracy looked up at the gray sky and then back at Darby who was almost to the parking lot.

" Right. The sun.." Tracy mumbled looking back up at the sky and continued walking towards Darby.

MEANWHILE: In the Labyrinth underground.

Jareth held a crystal orb in his hand, tossing it up and down. He sighed frustratingly.

" Come on crystal, show me something good!" Jareth commanded it. He stopped tossing the crystal to see if anything happened. A green light swirled in the orb and an image of Darby appeared. Jareth frowned confused. " Crystal? Who is this girl you show me?" He mumbled to the crystal. He scanned over Darby trying to find why the reason the crystal brought up this random image. His eyes lowered to the black choker with the Amethyst point around Darby's neck. Jareth gasped. " It cant be.." Jareth lunged from his throne and ran to a little tucked away room in his castle. He swung the door open and searched the room. " Where, oh where is it! Ah, here it is!" Jareth pulled out a long scroll and unrolled it on the desk. He scanned through it quickly and slammed his fist on the desk. " Damn! The thief!" Jareth stormed out of the room and back to the throne room. He formed a crystal and sat down on his throne. " Show me the girl.." The green light in the crystal swirled again and Darby reappeared. He looked over the girl's features and sighed. * She must be an heir. She looks much to young to be five thousand years old! * He thought. He kept scanning till his eyes fell on the pamphlet in her hand. " Music competition eh? David Bowie hmm?" He read aloud. Jareth smirked and brushed a few stray hairs out of his strong, nicely chiseled face. Jareth dismissed the crystal and leaned back on his throne, contemplating on his plan. He began to chuckle as he thought about it. " Yes." He whispered. " I will finally win!" His little chuckles burst out into loud roars of bitter and evil laughter.

About the Amethyst point:

The amethyst points were special gems found in Jareth's kingdom. At one time you could only find these gems there. They had a great power within them and did one of three things to save them from being stolen. Some would burn like a most powerful fire, others might freeze the thief's hands so the thief couldn't grasp it, and very few cut the thief's hands.

At first only the very rich and powerful Faye could carry these gems, but later on these gems became so abundant that almost everyone had one. They were traded, sold, given as gifts and on and on.

This went on for many years, until a great gang of thieves from the Above ground had invaded the kingdom, stealing all but three gems. King Garret had hidden the gems from the bandits and put it a safe. After the bandits fled back to the Above ground King Garret passed away, leaving only three people who knew where the gems were hidden. King Garret's son Jareth, a close friend of the family, Hoglen (Hoggle's father) and Jareth's grandmother, Isiadora. The three took the Amethyst points from the safe and combined them together to create one so it had all the powers in it. Then they all signed a contract claiming that who ever was the surviving heir would get the gem, and put the gem back in it's safe, and Isiadora hide the safe.

Five years later Hoglen died, leaving Isiadora and Jareth. Isiadora one night stole the gem from the safe and fled to the Above ground.

Only Faye can use the gem's magic, so the bandits had no choice but to hide all the other gems in the ground, in caves, and sell them.

When Isiadora passed away, she left the gem with her daughter, Kandy, Darby's grandmother..
