The Labyrinth
Summary: After watching the movie Labyrinth, I might have ,sort of, accidentally wished away my sisters to the Goblin Castle beyond the Labyrinth. Now I have to go rescue my sisters while holding onto my sanity and hoping I don't run into Jareth - the Goblin King - before my 13 hours are up. Or worse - I fall for him.
A/N: The idea for this story strike me after I read Labyrinth fanfiction last night and woke up the next day with the movie stuck it my head. In between 1st and 2nd period, this idea came and I had to type it up on my iPod. I hope this doesn't suck.
At first I was going to put my age in here — then I remembered it was going on the Internet and I was already using my real name. Of course, paranoia is getting to me as is logic. So, i put my approxamate age, same with my sisters. It might be a few years over or under.
"You're so annoying! Just stop bothering me!"
"Your face is bothering me!"
"Ashlyn, your come-backs suck!"
"Your face sucks!"
"Just leave me alone!" I slammed the door in my youngest sister's face and gave a huff. I wish… no, don't do that. I thought, it won't work anyways — that movie is getting to your head. My sisters turned on Justin Beaver and started singing along just to annoy me. "Would it kill them to consider my feelings every once in a while?" My sisters, Lauren(about 12) and Ashlyn,(about 10) had no respect for me what so ever, especially when my parents were out and I was in charge being the oldest at around years old 13.
"Baby baby baby oh!"
"Just shut up already! Gah! Why can't you two be nice to me for once!" Don't say it Hannah, a voice seemed to whisper, you'll regret it. "Great, now I'm hearing things," I muttered. I was brought back to reality by the annoying screams of my sisters and got mad once again. I wished…"I wish," I muttered," the goblins would take you both away… right now."
The lights went out and I was surprised when I heard nothing. I would have thought they would have screamed. I opened my door slowly, "Guys, are you okay? If you're trying to scare me it's not funny!" I slowly walked down the short hall to Ashlyn's bedroom — which is directly across from mine. "Seriously - this isn't funny," I opened her door — nothing strange except for their absence. Then I noticed the window was open - which it never is.
The window occupied the majority of the wall that faced the street and the screen had been taken out because it was pretty much useless. "Guys, come back inside - Mom's going to be so mad! Come back!" I turned to walk out when a barn owl practically collided with my head and left me looking at an exceptionally tall and attractive man standing in front of the window.
"They aren't here Hannah."
"No, no no no no no —"
"Are you alright?"
"No, no I'm not alright. It was just a movie! How Is this even possible!" I was talking to myself more than anything while Jareth looked at me with a queer expresion on his face."Give them back! I didn't think it was real!"
"What's said is said. You obviously thought something would happen or you wouldn't have said it." He started moving some crystals around in his hand — even in the midst of all this i still felt like yelling 'fushigi!' at him like I did when I watched the movie. "I can give you your dreams Hannah, all you have to do is forget about your sisters. This," he held out a crystal," is not a gift for a girl who takes care of two little sisters. Just forget about them."
"I can't! As much as they annoy me they're my family and I love them. I have to get them back - i aprecieate the offer, but i have to have them back."
"Are you sure you want to do that?" The room spun and suddely we weren't in my sister's room. There was a large maze — a labyrinth — in front of me and I recognized my surroundings from the movie. "You must complete my labyrinth in thirteen hours" He pointed to a clock hanging on a tree, then started backing up," — or your sisters stay with us forever."
"Oh great, he gets to fade away into the background and i have to deal with an ever changing maze. Well, come on feet - we've got a long journey ahead of us."
A/N: I though about stopping after I said the words but decided against it since it would be so short. I'm not sure if I want to have myself meet original characters or ones from the movie — maybe i'lldo both. If you have a character feel free to tellme about it.
