The rain fell down, the sky shrouded by darkened clouds. A lone figure sat on the windowsill of an unlit living room, staring out for what felt like forever; unmoving. Finally, a sigh sounded as she moved to stand, one of her hands moving to run through her hair. How long she had been there, she did not know. All she knew was that she could not continue to live this life and that she had to escape, one way or another.
Her own thoughts felt somewhat childish, her mind wandering back to Labyrinth, a film she had watched when she was younger and one that over the years, had remained her favourite. If only she could escape into that world and remain by the Goblin King's side. A laugh sounded from her as she moved to sit down on the couch, laying back as eyes stared up at the ceiling.
"I wish the Goblin King would come and take me away, right now." She spoke loudly, the words echoing through the dark apartment.
When nothing happened, another laugh sounded from the young woman. Arms flung up, wrapping around her head as the tears began to fall, gliding down her cheeks, body shaking with each sob.
Pointed ears perked at the strange request. Not that it was unheard of for someone to wish them self away. The Goblin King knew of the film that had been released and so it had, in fact, become very common to hear such a wish, but this was not what drew his attention. The desperation did. It sounded so pathetic, needy and that's what drew the King. A grin graced his lips, pointed canines showing as he tapped a riding crop lightly against his leather boots.
Mismatched eyes looked down towards the sleeping figure that lay sprawled across a couch. He had not expected her to have already fallen asleep after making the request, but upon closer inspection did note that her cheeks were stained with tears. A gloved hand slowly reached towards the brunette beauty, stroking along the side of her cheek softly as he spoke in hushed tones. "You made a wish, precious and so you will come with me now."
Whilst usually his subjects would join him, he had wanted to collect this wished away alone. Slowly he slipped his arms under her frame, lifting her up bridal style as he brought her body close to his. He was sure to be gentle, not wishing to disturb the sleeping human, not yet anyway. He was sure he could wake her other ways that would shock her more. At the thought of this, a smirk spread across his elegant features.
With a click of his fingers, they disappeared, leaving behind the dark and lonely apartment.
A groan sounded from within the darkness, sleepy eyes slowly opening and attempting to look around. What time was it? She could only guess that it was rather late. Slowly she got to her feet, back cracking slightly as discomfort shot through her body. She was certain that her couch was comfier than this but in her current groggy state, she was unable to comprehend the differences that surrounded her as arms outstretched, hands attempting to make contact with the wall in hopes of finding a switch to turn on the light but to her horror, her hands instead brushed lightly against wet and cold stone.
Panic began to rise in her as she searched for her phone, for anything, even a lighter. Just any form of light would do. Quickly she began to move, hands stroking along the damp walls until making contact with metal bars. Her hands gently tapped against them before gripping hold of some, shaking them harshly, realising that she was stuck in a cell. To say she was confused, was an understatement. In all honesty, she just assumed she was having a very vivid dream and so attempted to pinch herself awake, but when this didn't work, she opted for trying to get someone's attention.
"H-Hello? Is anyone there?" Though her fear and shaky voice, she did speak loud and clearly, stuttering on her words the slightest.
