Kayla woke up the next morning tasting shadow on her lips, she licked her lips and savored the taste it was peachy. A shadowed peachy...

"It wasn't a....dream." Kayla whispered.

"What wasn't a dream?" Sarah asked sleepily.

Kayla didn't know how to explain...should she lie? Kayla thought for a moment and decided to spill.

"A shadow kissed me...in my dream, it was so realistic. But I woke up and still tasted shadow peach.."

"Mhmm shadow...........PEACH?! Ok...did you see this 'shadow'?" Sarah was gonna scream.

"Yeah he was about my height black hair."Sarah sighed in relief. 'Black Hair' "And I guess I woke up and pulled him closer because he jumped, and then he was yanked away with a force.....like someone pulled him off of me." Kayla touched her lips, they felt different....they felt...warned, and still warm to the touch. She was going to ask Sarah to feel them but that would be way to awkward.

"Jareth....what mischief are you about to get me into now?" Sarah muttered.

"What, who's Jareth?"

"No one, I was singing an old song..." Sarah went back under the covers and tried to cry...when nothing came she walked into sleeps embrace.

Kayla was determined to find out who hot shadow guy was, and to kiss him again. She was already wide awake, 'no use of going back to sleep now' she thought. Kayla walked over to her guitar case and noticed her song book was gone, she smelt peaches. She leaned in to smell, and was overwhelmed of peaches. Kayla sat up light headed.

"Well I guess Im gonna have to find him now, he stole my songbook...he will pay." Kayla resisted the urge to maniacally laugh.

Joey never fell asleep, he was wide awake, the adrenaline still in his system. 'That kiss was the best thing that ever happened to me, I must see her again...I know the way to her house..or Sarah's house, she's probably still there.' He thought.

"Jareth! Im going out see you later!" He shouted as he dived out the window, morphing into a owl, in contrast to the morning he looked like ash against the sunrise.

"Very well then..........There's such a fooled heart beating so fast, in search of new dreams a love that will last within her heart, he'll place the moon within her heart.....with help from me of course.." Jareth laughed at his last words, staring into a crystal he watched Kayla tell Sarah about her dream and finding out about the missing notebook, and her plan to find Joey.

"Well, well, well Joseth I have underestimated you, what an impression you've left on the girl.." Jareth squinted at the crystal and noticed a Black owl perched against the same tree outside of Sarah's window that he has perched on 4 years ago.

"What the bloody hell is he doing there?" Jareth was already in owl form flying to the aboveground, to perch on the tree, that his heart was broken on.

Joey landed on a tree branch outside of Sarah's room, he stared in focusing on Kayla, she noticed the notebook was missing and a cruel smile was on her lips. 'What is she thinking?' Joey thought.

'What are you doing here!' Joey heard Jareths voice in his head.

'Damn owl telekinesis...'

"Damn right! Joseph! Ha-'

'Joey.'

'Joey! Have you any idea what you are doing?'

'Im stalking Kayla....like you stalk Sarah.'

'I DO NOT STALK SARAH!'

'Uhmm yeah you do.'

'Well you will wish we are not caught here Joseth'

'Joey.'

'Joey..so start flying home right now or I will-' Jareth stopped in Mid-thought. He watched Kayla watching the two fighting owls, one a brilliant white and the other a shadowed black.

"A shadow.." Kayla murmured. She liked these owls and their awkward movements, as if they were not in there true form, the black one looking more awkward than the white. He also looked younger too.

"Hey birds, wanna come in? As long as you don't wake Sarah up." Kayla motioned her arm. The white owl flew like a bullet into the room, perching on the 'Goblin King' statue on Sarah's nightstand. The black one flew in and perched on Kayla's guitar case.

"Aww you like my guitar case? Well come on I will show you a new song Im writing." She pulled out a piece of paper out of her back pocket, it had her chicken scratch all over it.

"Sorry about this... some shadow came and took my songbook. That sounds ridiculous. Im talking to an owl." The little Owl's eyes widened.

'Green eyes, on an owl...strange, like Sarah's.' She thought

Kayla looked over at the White owl, still perched on the statue staring at Sarah, and then looked down on the statue he was on. He jumped of it, waddled back a bit and looked the statue up and down, shaking it's head slightly as if disapproving of the statue.

"What a odd little bird." Kayla said as the owl perched on the statue and just stared at Sarah.

Kayla took out her guitar , she walked to the window and gracefully jumped onto the thick branch. She sat down and patted the spot next to her, inviting the little owl.

Joey flew to Kayla and perched on the branch, next to her.

So heres the scene

I was dreaming my dream

When a shadow boy

Took my hand

Thought I was his toy

He kissed me on demand

I was shocked by the kiss

He took notice of this

Next sec he was gone

He didn't say if he was bob paul or john

I had no name

But it started a game

I would win

And we would kiss once again.

"So how did you like it?" The owls eyes were wide.

"I'll take that as a yes. But just to let to let you know this song is a true story, it happened last night, Im going to find shadow boy again, and kiss him, he was a G R E A T kisser, and I would taste." Jareth flew out on the branch and perched on the other side of Kayla. "peaches again." Kayla smiled.

THWACK!

"What the..?" Kayla saw the little black owl on the floor as if it had been so shocked it lost balance and fell of the branch.

"FUCK!" Kayla threw her guitar in the window and jumped down to aid the owl, but out of the corner of her eye...she swore she saw the white owl put a wing to his forehead. As if he was trying to smack it in frustration.

Kayla picked up the little bird, she saw the pain in his eyes.

"Aww poor thing." Kayla kissed the owl on the head. It's eyes opened in response.

"Well, all you alright?" Kayla set the bird on it's feet, the owl seemed steady and flew back up to the window.

"You little faker...." Kayla climbed up the tree, to Sarah's window. The white owl flew in.

"Shit, my guitar.." Kayla jumped through the window to inspect the damage done to the guitar. She found the guitar perfectly fine, not a scratch to be found.

"What the hell?" Kayla was confused she was expecting at least a dent or something.

'Im so lucky' she thought. Kayla looked at the white owl, staring at Sarah and breathing deeply. She saw the black owl pick up a little red book, and fly over to Kayla drooping the book before her feet.

"Hmm, whats this?" Kayla picked up the book. "Th Labyrinth. Why did you bring this to me?" Kayla looked at the owl for an answer, but it merely just cocked it's head to the side. She saw the white owl stare daggers at the black one.

'What funny birds' Kayla thought to herself and chuckled.

"Well I guess you recommend it, so I'll get started." Kayla glanced at the clock, 12:00 AM no wonder she was a little tired. She had plenty of time to start reading. She opened the book and started to read out loud to the owls. She glanced at the owls from time to time, the white one looking at Sarah to her switching back and forth, choosing which one to look at, the little one just stared up at Kayla it's green eyes gawking at Kayla. Kayla peeked at Sarah, she was moving alot, she would be waking up soon. Kayla decided to get more into the book before the Owls had to leave, she stood up cradled the black on in her arms and started to read with more enthusiasm.

"OH GOBLIN KING, GOBLIN KING WHEREVER YOU MAY BE, TAKE THIS CHILD FAR FROM ME!" Kayla was having fun, she saw Sarah get up her eyes were opened so big, Kayla swore if they were any wider her eyeballs would of pop out of her sockets.

Sarah woke up to Kayla's screaming, she looked to the left and saw a white owl with mismatched eyes, staring at her.

"Jareth, get out of my room, right now before I chop your stupid little owl head off!" Sarah got out of the bed.

"Woah woah woah! Sarah let's not get to fussy, you just woke up, don't take it out on the poor thing." Kayla scooped up the other owl, backing away from Sarah.

"Kayla put the owl down." Sarah saw Kayla was carrying a black owl. "A black owl? Jareth who's this?" Sarah glared at the owl, but it just flew up inches from her face, stared for a moment then, flew out the window.

"See what you did Sarah, you scared it away! Why did you call him Jareth, you say that name.... alot." Kayla looked down at the Black owl, she saw him nudge the book with his foot.

"You wouldn't believe me, and why are you reading MY book?" Sarah's eyes focused on the little black owls eyes, trying to see if he was familiar from the Labyrinth.

"Oh please Sarah, didn't your mother teach you how to share?" Kayla flipped a page and the book, and started to read.

"I wish the Goblin's would come and take YOU away." The black owl flew out of her arms and out the window. "Right."

"Kayla no don't say it, it will come true, I will be locked in the Castle and you will have to run the Labyrinth! It says it all in the book just don't finish your senten-"

"Now." Kayla looked at Sarah waiting for her to disappear or something.

"See your right here, not going anywhere, im going to get some grub, you in?" Sarah just stood there, mouth open.

'Why wasn't she there yet?'

"N-no Im fine Im just gonna stay here and sit." Sarah backed up and started crying on her bed.

"Ok, uhmm I'll leave you alone." Kayla shut off the light as she exited, still hearing Sarah's sobs. She took two steps in the hallway when she heard Sarah scream. Kayla spun around so fast she fell.

"Shit!" Kayla got up and ran back to the room, she flicked the switch, it didn't turn on.

"Damn pice of crap switch." She flicked it a few more times. Kayla walked in the room.

"Sarah? Where did you go? Are you playing? Ok haha funny, im sorry the Goblin King didn't come and whisk you away but-" Kayla was interrupted.

"Oh but I did, Kayla." Kayla turned to find her self inches away from this tall, crazy blonde haired man, with very tight pants. She took a few step looking at the stranger.

"Hey hey hey..who are you Mr. Rockstar? Hey look! are pants match!" Kayla made a gesture at her skinny jeans, and then extended her leg, as if to compare pants.

"Would you take your mind off my pants an-"

"Haha! My mind....Your pants....sorry. Im really immature." Kayla remembered Sarah.

"Hey! Did you see Sarah? A girl about this tall, brown hair, really green eyes?"

"Yes, I have, she's in my castle."

"Your castle?" Kayla said sarcastically.

"Yes My castle beyond the goblin city? You don't recall?" Jareth was confused.

'She hasn't read the book!' he thought.

"No, I don't..and what's up with you and Sarah and these 'Goblins'." Kayla wiggled her fingers.

'What a stubborn girl.' He thought.

"Well Kayla, look out the window you see the castle?" Kayla stared out the window, the former sight of Sarah's neighborhood was gone, and was replaced with the scenery of a very large maze, around a tiny little castle off in the distance. Kayla squinted her eyes.

"Yeah I see it ok. Impressive now can Sarah come back now? Her parents wont be happy. If she's gone." Kayla put her hands on her hips admiring the man, he was attractive, his blonde hair poking out in tufts, his multi-colored eyes, his angular bone structure and his thin yet wide lips. Kayla felt her knees wobbling, but tried to keep control.

"Dont fret dear," He took one step forward, his long legs put him again, inches from Kayla.

"Well here are the rule's to get Sarah back, you must complete the Labyrinth in 13 hours, or else Sarah turns into a Goblin, and you will forget she ever existed." Kayla turned around, so her back was almost touching his chest, she was breathing deeply.

"And if I do?" Kayla felt gloved hands on her shoulders.

"Then you win, and Sarah will return." He spun Kayla around hugging her tightly to him.

"But, you could always, choose not to run the Labyrinth and take this instead." Jareth held out a crystal with one hand, the other still holding her against his chest.

"What's that?" Kayla stared at the little glass orb. He started rolling it around his hand.

'How is he doing that?' She thought.

"It's a crystal nothing more. But if you turn it this way, it will show you your dreams." Jareth held out the crystal to Kayla.

"I dont need your help to get my dreams I just want Sarah ok? So all of this enchanted crystal shit, is not changing my mind." Jareth sighed. He put his head closer to Kayla, he could feel her breath on his face.

"Well then." He pulled her in tightly with two hands, her arms fell back helplessly. He inched is face closer, he was about a quarter of an inch from her face.

"You have 13 hours to-" Kayla couldn't help it any more, she swung her arms around his neck and kissed him fiercely, her mouth on his mixing together in a tango of taste. He pulled he even tighter to him, crushing her against his body. She felt her skin mold around his armor.

Kayla broke the kiss, gasping for air.

"Your one hell of a kisser." Kayla smirked.

"And you have 13 hours to finish the Labyrinth." Jareth smiled evilly. Kayla almost fainted.

"Mmm yes, I do." She pecked him on the mouth once more. And he disappeared. She felt guilty about kissing such an older man, but just shrugged her conscience away.

"And may I say, kissing you was indeed, a pleasure." His voice chimed in her ears, until it faded out.

"Damn I don't even know who he is, fuck. I never get names!" Kayla stepped out of the window and started walking.

"Well Mystery man, I guess 13 hours will go by fast, gotta make the most of it." Kayla headed on to find the doors to the Labyrinth.
