Jareth's Gone
Chapter 1
Shenya ran through the trees, laughing. Her friend Zach was racing her home. She lived at Zach's house, because he was her foster brother. She raced inside just ahead of Zach and sat down to watch a new episode of her favorite show, The Simpsons.
The phone as Zach sat down, so he got up to answer it.
"Hello?. . . Shenya! It's for you!" He called out.
"Hello?. . . Dirpeck? How did you get a phone?. . . Jareth was what!?. . . I'll be right there, hold on." Shenya got off the phone looking pale.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Zach asked.
"I have to go. Don't ask me where, I can't tell you. Just. . . when mom gets home, just tell her I have to help my cousin, he's in trouble." Shenya replied, packing a travel bag as she did so.
"I don't understand. You're running again?" Zach asked, hurt. He was referring to the time she had first come to stay with them, and ran off to live with Jareth. They had found her after Jareth had told her never to step foot in his kingdom again, and she had stayed with them since.
"No, I'm not running again. I'm just going to help Jareth and I'll be back after I help him, got it?" Shenya responded, zipping up the bag and moving towards the crystal that would take her there. "Goodbye, Zach," she said without looking back, and then she was there.
Dirpeck was waiting for her. Dirpeck was a goblin, Jareth's counsilor and the only one Shenya could talk to about what Jareth was really like.
Jareth hated her, and she didn't know why. At one time, he had been her favorite cousin, but all that changed when a girl came six years ago, and actually defeated him. He had never been the same since, always plotting to get her back, ignoring the only family he had left, a.k.a. her, and basically becoming a bitter old fae. Shenya hoped she never had to meet the girl that had changed her cousin so.
"Wee think he's in the labyrinth somewhere, but we have no idea where. Only two know how to defeat it, and King Jareth is one of them," Dirpeck explained as the two walked from the palace to the city.
"Who's the other?" Shenya asked.
"Sarah." Came the reply.
#####
Sarah was a twenty-three year old actress. She had graduated college the year before, but she had been acting since her senior year of high school. She had watched her step-brother turn seven the past year, and as always was glad he didn't remember his time in the Goblin castle. She was always afraid that it would come back to haunt him one day, but it had not happened yet.
She sometimes wondered what had happened to the Goblin king, after she had left, but didn't pursue that train of thought very long.
Right now, she was starring in a movie called "Fairies, Goblins, and Dragons, Oh my." It had to do with a girl who meets a dragon, who kidnaps here to take her to a mystical world where they have to save the fairy Queen from the Goblin King. Strange as it was, she was the girl, Alisa.
In her costume trailer in New Zeland, a girl came up to her. She was wearing an old-fashioned dress, and Sarah assumed she was in the movie. So, when the girl asked to talk to Sarah alone, Sarah agreed.
"Sarah, i need your help. Well, my cousin, really. i know you probably hate him, but he needs our help," Shenya told Sarah.
"Your cousin?" Sarah questioned, putting on lip gloss. Her scene was done for the day, and she was going out to party.
"You know him. From six years ago. The Goblin King." Sarah dropped her lip gloss container and brush at that.
"Why hould I help King Jareth?" She asked.
"Because if it weren't for you, he would not have been kidnapped. I would have been there instead. You owe me. He has changed since you took the baby six years ago. He shuns his own living family member, and he has become bitter. He hates me, and for that you owe me," Shenya replied.
"Who are you?"
"Shenya Mackly, cousin to his majesty King Jareth. Now, will you help me or not?" Shenya pleaded.

A/N: Yes, a cliffhanger, I know. PLease review, I don't care what you say, just review. Constructive critisism is welcomed.
