Violet Eyes with His Mismatched Ones: Revived Chapter 1, a labyrinth fanfic

"I wish the goblins would just take you away right now," were the words that he yelled at me as I stood there with my eyes filled with the tears of knowing the truth. That I wasn't loved or belonged here in this world. The man in front of me held me close as I felt calmed by those eyes as I smiled through my tears at him before growing tired as my eyes slipped close.

I sat outside reading the The Grimms Fairytales up in the willow tree by the abandon barn in the park. The sunlight pooled through the branches and leaves making it slightly difficult to read but very comforting to just enjoy the day. Hearing a flutter and a slight screech I lifted my head and saw a barn owl. Eyes widening at the feathered creature I stared back into his mismatched eyes. At that moment I felt a bit memorized at him and a smile grew on my face. He turned his head to the side looking at me like I was strange one in this situation. It made me giggled my bright violet eyes showing joy.

"Did you want to listen to me read?" I asked my feathered friend who just twisted head to the side some more and stared at me. Giggling some more to him I smiled brightly. Feeling my phone go off I got it out and checked the text messages. Sighing I looked to my feathered friend and smiled sadly to him. "I'm sorry, I'll have to cut this short today. I got an alert that it''s going to be raining soon. Don't want to get stuck up in a tree when that happens. I don't have wings to fly me to safety." She smiled to him before dropping her box to the bag that laid against the tree trunk. Tucking her phone back in her coat she moved sideways before sliding down to the branch below her foot. Standing in a crouch on the branch she shimmed her way outwards before going to the next sturdy branch and then jumping down. Stuffing her book back in the small black backpack she had and she threw the bag over her shoulder before zipping up her coat and seeing the sky beginning to darken. Looking to the owl that seemed to follow her down she smiled to him before waving.

"Bye bye~," I told them before running out of the park and back to the house. She waved to some people she knew on her way home as she smiled happily taking twists and turns.

"Violet!" Her name was called out as she stopped looking to her friend shouting in her parked mustang. "Don't forget about tonight. Tonights the night, hun! Time to dump that loser's ass!" She told her shouting from across the street and grinning.

"Don't worry, Jenna! I won't!" I shouted back waving before dashing back down the street homeward bound. How could I forget about dumping my cheating boyfriend. He was finally back from vacation and this was my chance to finally break things off with him. Seeing my home coming up I felt the first drops of rain on my head before getting up the steps of the covered porch before opening the door. My parents weren't home but my younger sister was and she was in charge of watching our baby brother. Getting in I closed the door quietly before going to my room. I had the attic room all to myself so I laid my bag on my bed before climbing into it and going to the window my bed was against to pull them close before stopping seeing the barn owl once more. He sat there on the window sill looking at me. Raising an eyebrow at him I tried to shoo him away but he seemed unfazed. Rolling my eyes I sighed.

"Fine, get in here, your highness," I told the owl with giving him a sarcastic remark at the end. The owl flew and landed on one of the many pillows on my bed. Watching him get comfortable on the circular pillow before I pulled the windows closed and locked them. Sliding to sit on the bed I leaned back against the window as the rain pound lightly against the glass. "You're pretty friendly for a barn owl. It's a bit weird but that's fine. I like animals, so that's a good thing for you, your highness." Seeing the owl look at me and shiver I smiled gently to him. Getting out of my bed I went to the closet and got him a small towel. Walking back over I kneeled in front of him and held the towel up giving him my gentle and caring stare. He seemed to be thinking before closing his eyes as he laid his head down. Patting the towel on his feathers I slowly wiped and dried his feathers. I then got up and went to turn on the small heater in my room since it wasn't as insulated like the rest of the house.

"Violet~ Ma won't stop crying! Can you come down and sing to him!" I heard Beth call out to me. Sighing I pulled one of my blankets and wrapped it around the owl gently. Telling him I would be back soon I went back down stairs seeing Beth come out of the nursery looking tired. "Oh thank god, please sing to him or something. I can't get him to lay down for nap time."

"Alright alright, just watch and learn," I told her smiling gently and patting the top of my sister's head. Walking over to the crib I lifted him up into my arms beginning to coo softly. He clung to me and I heard the rain get harsher against the glass as a song came to mind.

"Little child, be not afraid

The rain pounds harsh against the glass

Like an unwanted stranger

There is no danger

I am here tonight..." I began singing softly with my eye lids dropping some as I looked to Max smiling gently. He continued to cry as he heard thunder and wailed out in fear. I could see the song was beginning to work and continued on singing.

"Little child

Be not afraid

Though thunder explodes

And lightening flash

Illuminates your tearstained face

I am here tonight.

And someday you'll know

that nature is so

This same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forests and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning." Seeing him began to stop his tears and wiping them away I smiled closing my eyes.

"Little child

Be not afraid

The wind makes creatures of our trees

And branches to hands

They're not real, understand

And I am here tonight.

And someday you'll know

That nature is so

This same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forest and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning.

For you know, once even I

Was a little child

And I was afraid

But a gentle someone always came

To dry all my tears

Trade sweet sleep the fears

And give a kiss goodnight," I sang my voice growing a little louder lulling him into a sleep as I danced around some knowing he loved the motion I made as he laid his head down on my shoulder. As I danced around the room I pulled the curtains closed.

"Well, now I am grown

And these years have shown

Rain's part of how life goes

But it's dark and it's late

So I'll hold you and wait

'till your frightened eyes do close.

And I hope that you'll know

That nature is so

The same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forests and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see

In the morning," I sang as he was finally falling into a deep sleep.

"Everything's fine in the morning

The rain will be gone in the morning

But I'll still be here in the morning," I finished before laying him down in bed and getting him to hold his bunny as he let go of me. Smiling I turned to Beth who smiled gently. She gave me a grateful look that I could calm him down and get him to sleep. Walking out of the room we turned the lights off and left the door cracked just a bit.

"Thanks sis, I didn't think he would ever fall asleep. Then again if it's you singing then he most defiantly will, you sound so beautiful when you're singing," Beth said hugging me as I hugged her back smiling brightly.

"No problem, you going to be okay when I go out tonight? You know where everything is, right?" I asked her pulling back and putting my hands on her shoulders. She rolled her eyes at me some and put her hands on her hips.

"Come on sis, I'm thirteen, I think I can handle being at the house by myself and watching Max. Besides Mom and Dad will be home soon after you leave unless they hit traffic. I promise if anything happens I'll go to the neighbors and then call you," she told me looking up at me as I smiled kissing her forehead.

"Good girl, I'm going to get a shower and get ready. It's three now and I plan to take forever to get ready," I told her as she giggled smiling.

"Can I help do your hair?" She asked me as I nodded my head. She squealed softly and jumped a bit but not enough to wake Max. Walking off I went and took a long hot shower. Getting out I looked at myself in the mirror. Violet eyes stared back at my tan skin and wet red hair dripping around my face. Pulling my hair up into a towel I put on my plush pale blue bath robe before walking back to my room. The barn owl that flew into my room seemed to be sound asleep in the little nest made for him. Smiling I went to my vanity and began to do my make up. A little bit of foundation, some deep red lipstick, and black slightly glitter eyeshadow and even I thought I looked good. Giggling to myself I was glad my eyeliner looked good. Getting up I looked through my closet looking for something to wore. Humming to myself 'Learn to be Lonely' I was lost in thought. Suddenly I heard tapping at my window Peaking out of my closet I saw the owl trying to get out. Sighing I walked over and the owl seemed to be staring at me as I open the window noticing the rain had gone away. Smiling to the owl I watched it take flight and head off to somewhere. Closing the window I pulled the curtains shut as I went back to my closet. Pulling out a simple black dress I smiled as I knew it would show more cleveage then I usually did and flared out some in the skirt but hugged my curves perfectly. Laying it on my bed I went to go bug my sister about my hair.

Jareth's POV

I watched the girl through my crystal as she let her sister do her hair. This girl loved her family, was gentle, she was loved, but he knew she would never going to say the words. She would never hurt her family or loved ones like that. Though I knew who would and she would be the victim of said person. A part of me felt bad for the young woman, such vibrance was going to be stolen from everyone. In the end he would win her seeing as she would be forced to live with me. I could get use to her singing for me, maybe I won't turn her into a goblin. I would hate to watch her change into one of my goblins, no I think I would preserve her beauty. Making the crystal disappear I watched the sky change from blue to a vibrant orange. Soon, soon she will be mine, just needed to be patient.

Violet's POV

I looked at the beautiful bun she put my hair in leaving my bangs swept to the left side and curling the side hairs that were too short to be in the bun. It was beautiful and made perfect when she slipped in diamond pins through out the bun. I put in my dangling flower shaped diamond earrings and Beth clasped my diamond chocker around my neck.

"You look like royalty Violet," Beth said sighing in awe of my make up and hair. Blushing some I stood up and smiled.

"Thanks to your skilled hands my look is almost complete, though I think I've found a better dress now that I think about it," I mumbled getting up and hugging her for a moment. Going back to my room I pulled out the emerald green dress. It was simple and hugged my curves, above my chest it had black see through lace that went up to my neck, I had Beth help zip up the dress as the chocker seemed like it was part of the dress and it only came about mid thigh on me thanks to my hips and chest.I had already put on black matching lace tights and slipped on to my heels. Grabbing my black purse with rhinestones going through the martial like a starry night. I made sure I had everything, phone, pepper spray, keys, compact, lipstick, and a small book titled 'Labyrinth' to read on the way there. Hearing a honk from outside I knew it was Jenna growing impatient. Going down the steps to the front door I blew Beth a kiss as I grabbed the leather jacket she held out for me. "Love you and Max. Be safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do." I told her quickly before getting in the mustang as Jenna whistled at me.

"Hun, if I wasn't already in a relationship and your best friend, I would tap that," she told me making me laugh as I smiled.

"Thanks I figured if I'm going to dump him, I should do it while looking good. Eric has hurt me too much and he'll only hurt me more if I don't break up with him," I told her becoming filled with determination in what I was to do. Jenna gave me a high five before beginning to drive off to the club. Taking my book out I began to read it, I was only skimming the pages having read it a couple times before. It was actually a gift from Eric, he knew she loved fantasy stories and thought she would like this one and she adored it. She still adored the book but not the person behind it. Sadly I wasn't filled with so much hate for him to ask the goblins to take him away. I could never be that cruel. Sighing some I zoned out and looked up to see they were parking. Slipping the book back into my purse I got out as Jenna walked along side me looking like a biker chick. When we got to the door a hand reached out and open the door for us. Looking to who the hand belong to he had a very handsome face with mismatched eyes and wild looking blonde hair. He smirked to us and had mischief in his eyes, something I found to be really cute from him besides being a gentleman.

"After you my Lady," he said an accent in his words before going into a mock bow. Me and Jenna giggled but I took it a step forward giving him a small curtsy.

"Thank you, my Lord," I murmured gently before walking in with Jenna as I hooked my arm with hers.

"Hasn't gotten rid of her boyfriend yet and has already found her next one. You are good," Jenna told me as I giggled smiling brightly.

"Easy there, I'm taking this a step at a time," I old Jenna before looking back to see the guy but he had disappeared from sight. Walking around the club Jenna went to get a drink as I found Eric with his friends and some girls as I stood there with a hand on my hip. He notice me and started to drink me in with his eyes like some of the other people in the club have been doing.

"Babe, it's so good to see you. You look great," he said putting his arm around me before I pulled back.

"I'm glad you think so cause this is the last time you'll see me," I told him taking the book he gave me and pushed it into his hands. "You think you can just have other girls and I wouldn't find out? You think I need you? Well I don't, we are over, have a nice life." I told him turning to leave. He grabbed my arm and yanked me back holding on to me. Crying out in pain I tried to pull out of his grip as he held on to me.

"You think you can just stop dating me? I'm the reason people want to be your friend. Why you fucking started to doing more with yourself and look even descent enough to date. You will not disrespect me by saying it's over. Even if I am dating other women you're still mine," he said gripping on to my arm more painfully. Crying out I held on to my purse and used it to hit him with it. He let go to hold his head as I twisted away and got out of the club going to the park not far away. Crying in pain and sadness I covered my face in sorrow. He wasn't wrong, when people saw my violet eyes they either cringed or acted like they didn't notice me. Only after I started dating him did I do something with how I looked and began to have friends. Even with my loving family and one true friend I felt so alone. Feeling hands on my shoulders I looked up and saw mismatched eyes. He reached and wiped my tears away as I began to calm down some. Before he could speak I heard Eric speak and some how those words broke me more.
