Chapter 8

Chrissie s mouth fell open in sheer shock. It was beyond perfect; beyond reason the room before her was the Goblin king's throne room exactly as seen by Sarah Williams and exactly as the movie makers had made it.

Chrissie s shocked mouth curled into and unbelievable smile her heart swelled. This was so many peoples dreams too see the places there dreams originated.

Chrissie spun taking in the whole room barely noticing the small amount of pain it brought to her wings right now she didn't want to think about that. She was truly in the world of magic, beyond the magic she now knew was real to her world. She chuckled out loud thinking once more to the words of Brother Andrew how she never really fit even with the immortals.

The chuckle however sent a small group of goblins running from their hiding place. The little things scattered about the room scratching there lungs out.

Chrissie's smile simply grow and she laughed under her breath.

"Silence!!!!!!"

The voice barely sounded stranded but it easily rose above the screeching goblins. The owner of the voice leant lazily against the throne room door arms folded over his toned exposed chest the strange medallion laying against his pale skin.

Chrissie had stopped dead at the voice of the goblin king her smile faded in a split second image of a crystal ball room and the young Sarah Williams danced in her head along with every single story of the fae Chrissie had ever heard.

As Chrissie turned slowly to face the King of the goblins she kept her gaze low focusing on his crossed arms it was when he slightly shifted his weight from one foot to the other the light hit his medallion drawing Chrissie gaze too its strange familiar design.

Jareth smirked watching the girl clearly uncomfortable with his presents it did not escape him that her eyes never raised to meet his. "Well well what do we have here?"

Chrissie fiddled with her fingers not really knowing why she didn't want to look at the goblin king her fingers traced the bracelets that now felt as much a part of her as the skin they touched. She chuckled out a breath when she realised their design matched the goblin kings medallion.

"My King and Master, I present my Mistress." The labyrinth tilted its head in respect to both its master and new mistress.

Jareth s eyes court the image of the labyrinth as it spoke his face suddenly twisted in anger. He was across the room in a split second grabbing the female form of the labyrinth by the throat and squeezing as hard as he could even thou he knew it would do no damage to the damned creature.

"Remove that form at once." He growled eyes fixed on the female form so much like his own. He didn't even notice the small hand clasp his arm.

"Your Highness please stops." Chrissie didn't know why but she knew he could not actually hurt the creature but it was the look of sheer pain on the kings face that worried Chrissie more.

The labyrinth looked at its new mistress her little hands clasped tight too the goblin king but didn't not pull or push his she was simple holding his arm tight and speaking all the time calmly.

"I m sorry Master I simple thought a more human form would be more comfortable for the child." The labyrinth form shifted into its owl form even within its master's grip.

Chrissie didn't focus on the labyrinth instead her hands gently slid down to meet the goblin kings hands. She could feel him shake Chrissie turned her worried gaze to the now ball of feathers sat not to far from them. "What's wrong with him?"

The labyrinth had not thought that the king would have this strong a reaction to it taking the form it had. "The female form was that of his late mother I am sorry I did not think his reaction would be so strong."

Chrissie shook her head of course the labyrinth would not truly understand feelings such as grief. Chrissie gently rubbed Jareths hands her warm fingers tracing his ice cold ones he had stopped shaking now. "Your Highness, Your Highness are you alright?"

The warmth was nice the voice that was calling him was even better. Not only was it soft and sweet to his ears but it was calling him "Your Highness." Jareths eyes stared down at his hands a second set where touching his trying to calm him. Why had he been so mad oh yes he remembered the stupid creature he considered his pet had taking his mothers form. His eyes travelled up the girl's dirt covered arms her smooth skin seemed strangle intact considering the amount of blood present on her.

"It's ok your Highness it's alright." Chrissie gently helped the Goblin King to his throne he didn't seem weak he just didn't seem as if he wanted to move. As Chrissie sat him down his strange two tone eyes locked with her golden brown ones.

Chrissie could not look away from those eyes filled yet empty all at the same time it only took a split second for her to lose the grip on her powers.

Her skin started to tingle Chrissie quickly pulled her skin away from the goblin kings the power starting in her was too much, like her normal powers acting up. This in general was not a good thing they weren't actually predicable. She was trying to remember what had she been thinking at the exact moment her power started in her.

"Your glowing." Jareths voice was a warm breath on her face he was still a little too close.

Chrissie bit hard on her lip and backed off another few steps, her skin was glowing a strange sliver.

Like lightning a sudden bolt shot up Chrissies back the glowing flowing over her skin making her skin fade back too its normal colour but suddenly her wings burnt and from the corner of her eyes a flash of brilliant white light shone.

"Impressive I must say you are quite a unique creature."Jareth was smiling at the girl before him the green bandages that the labyrinth had tied to her little wings had suddenly disappeared within the light that had been admitted from her very skin. Now her wings russeled gently against her back. It was strange that she looked somewhat shocked.

"Thank you gods." Chrissies voice whimpered out she had suddenly had visions of a goblin king that actually looked like a goblin because too be truly honest that had been along the lines of what she had been thinking. He didn't look like a goblin so she believed him too be a member of the fae, but why was he the goblin king was it normal for fae to rule over lower creatures.

Chrissie sighed with relief at least her powers had not taken on there normal form of doing completely the wrong thing at the wrong time. It did seem strange however it had not felt the same not really when her powers started in her world before it always hurt badly when they took shape but this time it had felt different.

The thoughts of what this could mean bothered Chrissie greatly. However the goblin king speaking pulled her from all thoughts of her own powers.

"I must say labyrinth her appearance is some what beautiful don't you think" Jareth was looking her up and down taking in the complexity of the girl.

Her cloths were torn and ripped the tight black leggings barley really covered any of her pale white skin. This was the reason that the quite large tattoo that ran the length of her left leg was clearly visible. Her hair was a complete mass on her head; the longer right streak of red hair tangled and knotted the short black mass of hair on the top of her head dirty and in chaos. Yet everything about the girl added too her beauty she looked human yet she looked as thou she could be one of the fae themselves.

Chrissie sighed and simply slumped too the floor crossing her legs and resting her elbows on her knees her hands resting on either side of her face. She was just so tired and she had so much still too do how it was possible to be inside a story she had no clue.

"Well my ...little one "Jareth smirked having heard the taker refer too the girl with this nick name.

"I suppose the first question should be how exactly did you come to be in my Kingdom?" Jareth smiled slightly. Even thought the girl did not raise her head he saw quite clearly her brow curve down would in a conceding frown.

She had completely no clue how she had come to be in this kingdom in this world too tell the truth. So Chrissie did just that told the truth.

"I have completely no idea your highness."
