I do not own the Labyrinth and it's characters, they all are products of Jim Hansen. I say again, Jareth and the Labyrinth are NOT mine! ((Doesn't mean I don't wish they were though!))
Xandie and Julia are mine though.
Rated M for later chapters. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Alexandria "Xandie" Jane Monroe stopped being a child when she was ten years old. Her world came crashing down around her, and nothing could be done to stop it. Her mother ran out on her and her father when she was two, she barely remembered her mother. Every memory she had was of her father, trying his best to give her a better life.
When Xandie was four, her father remarried a woman named Julia. The woman hated Xandie, but never let that show when her father was around. One night, when Julia had punished Xandie for playing a harmless trick on her, Xandie cried and made a wish. "I wish…I wish I had a friend…" she whispered.
That's when he came to her. Her friend. He was tall and lean, with blond hair that was long and looked like a lion's mane. His eyes were what captivated her the most. She loved his mis-matched blue eyes. She called him Jare, since she couldn't say his entire name very well. She called him a fairy, but he insisted on her calling him a Fae. Yet, he was her closest friend, always there for her, whenever she called to him. He always filled her with warmth and love, keeping her company whenever her father and step-mother were away.
Her father died in a car accident when she was ten, and the funeral followed quickly after. Julia just pushed Xandie to the side and ignored the little girl, making a scene that her beloved husband had died and left her alone. Xandie had called to Jare to tell him the news, and he held her tight while she cried. Everyone she had ever known had left her. To her child mind, she thought that meant no one loved her. As she told these things to Jere, he simply held her and made her a promise. "I will never leave you Alexandria, I promise you that."
He lied.
The day of the funeral, Xandie was forced to stand beside Julia and listen to her over-dramatic wailing and crying, while she tried to fight back the tears. "Jare, I need you…" she whispered as her father's casket was lowered into the ground. He didn't come. Fear gripped her and she tried again, a little louder. "Jare? I need you, where are you?" Still nothing. As she watched her father's casket come to a halt in the ground, she had convinced herself that no one really loved her, that she was doomed to be alone. "I need you-" Then, she woke up.
