Melody walked in through the front door following her brother and sister. Sarah came out of her office, "Hey guys, how was school?" Brittany and Chris both replied, but Melody pushed aside and went up the steps.
Melody heard Sarah call after her, so she responded with slamming her door. All of this over stupid little dreams, she threw her book bag over to the side of her room. She was so frustrated, but she couldn't understand why. Why was she freaking out so much over this? "I need answers." She whispered. Suddenly, like a wave through her body, fatigue hit her. She yawned, and walked over to her bed and laid down. Maybe if she took a short nap she would feel better, and this whole thing would go away.
Melody fell asleep much faster than she expected, she fell into a deep, deep sleep. Melody dreamed she was walking around a long stonewall. She was all alone, in front of her was two big stone doors. She approached the two doors, she studied the old carvings in the stone. Backing away, she then looked down the right side of the wall, then to the left, it seemed they could go on and on. "Where am I?" She asked herself.
"Do you like it?" A voice called to her.
Melody spun around quick looking at the owner of the voice. There stood the Goblin King himself. He was dressed in all black, he looked like a medival character pulled out from one of her books, extremely attractive in a way. The way he stared at her, the strangest sensation came over her, like something was telling her to run. "What?" She asked looking at him weird.
"Do you like it?" He said once again. "The wall." He came closer to her.
Melody stepped back, "Its just an old wall." Then she stepped forward. "What is going on? Who are you?" She asked in a strong voice.
"Goodness you are just like your mother, trying to be the hero." He came right up to her where he only stood a foot away from her. "I am, like I have said before, The Goblin King."
"How do you know my mother?" Melody snapped, backing even further away from him. "You started all this, you started this mess you know!"
"I didn't tell you to draw a picture of me, or to go on ranting about me." Jareth said, smiling a half smile.
Melody blushed at his comeback. "Answer my question, how do you know my mother?" Melody retorted.
"This is your dream Melody, its all in your head, I can know anything about you and your whole family."
Melody felt a bit dumb, he was right. "Oh."
"Or, I could tell you the truth, maybe I have met your mother before, she just keeps it a secret from you and your family." Jareth came even closer to her.
"My mother doesn't keep any secrets from me, she has told me everything." Melody backed away again. What was his problem?
"Oh, but she does, her darkest one ever too." Jareth lifted his hand, and with only a wave of motion, a red book appeared in his hand. "This is all you have to know about her secret." He held the book out for her to take.
Melody, carefully took the book from him. She looked at the cover, engraved in shiny gold letters was written, "Labyrinth." She read aloud. "What does this have to do with my mother?" Melody asked without looking up.
Melody jumped when she had found that he was now standing behind her, and very uncomfortably close. "Why don't you ask your mother that question." He whispered in her ear. "Till then, good bye, my love." Jareth took one hand and put it on her back, pushing her forward.
Melody screamed falling forward, but when she went forward, she woke up in her bed. She looked around her room, searching to see if he had followed her out of the dream. Melody noticed she was holding on to something in her hand, she looked down, and screamed. There in her hand was the little red book he had given to her in her dream. "MOM!"
