'Third time Lucky.' Jareth's voice rang through her head. 'Yeah, third time lucky!'
This time, she made it. She was stood in the middle of the throne room.
"Hey! There you are, I was about to send out a search party." Amy laughed from across the didn't know what to do, or say. Who were the other people in the room? Jareth and Amy she knew, but there were two other people she didn't know, a man and a woman. The man was tall with short dark hair, whereas the woman had long hair that seemed to flick out as she moved. Lucy felt uncomfortable but as usual she tried to act like nothing was bothering her. "You should have done!" She said, her voice high and bubbly. 'Was that really me?!' "I would have got here quicker." She looked towards the strangers and smiled in what she hoped was a friendly way.
"Hi!" Said the woman, smiling brightly. 'She looks familiar?'
"I told them you would probably be a while, they wouldn't listen." Jareth voice broke through her thoughts and she turned to look at him. He was talking to the man now, but looking straight at her.
"Who are they?" It came out before Lucy could stop herself. 'That sounded so rude!!! Or am I imagining it? Did it sound rude?'
The woman walked, no bounced over to where Lucy was stood, the smile still glued to her face. "Im Marianna and that's Wyatt."
She had heard that name before. "Wyatt? Jareth's brother?"
"Yeah, and mine. I thought she was human?" Marianna said, turning her head to the side and looking at Lucy, like she was examining her.
"It's a long story, and one that even Lucy doesn't know about yet. If you go now, I can explain it all to her." He hated trying to get rid of them all but Jareth knew she wouldn't be able to understand properly if they were distracting her, and he knew they would. It was all just so complicated!
"Jeeze! If you want us to go just say so!" Suddenly Marianna's calm attitude disappeared as she turned to her brother.
"I was trying to be nice." Jareth snapped back.
"Ok I can solve this, Ill go." Lucy shout out of the room, not wanting to get in the middle of it all. Although really she already was, it was her they were arguing about. She started to run down the corridor, trying to find her way back out into the garden and failing miserably. As she turned another corner she ran straight into Jareth.
"Why don't you just wish yourself out?" He sounded almost amused and she looked up to see that familiar smirk across his face.
"Because…I don't know. I didn't think of that." She took a step back as he stepped towards her.
"Well you'll have to get used to it sooner or later. If it were me, if prefer it to be sooner."
"I don't want to get used to it, I just want to be me again. This isn't me."
Jareth sighed loudly. "This is the real you Lucy."
"This isn't me." Then she had a thought. "I wish I was with Sarah!" She shouted out, a smile spreading across her face. She could do this…couldn't she? Before she had a chance to think about it anymore, there was a bright light that almost blinded her and she rose her hand up to shield her eyes. After a moment it stopped, but she didn't dare put her arm down. 'What if it didn't work? Where am I now?'
"Lucy?!" She heard Sarah's voice and her arm dropped like a stone. 'It worked!!'
"Oh my god it worked!" Lucy shouted, throwing her arms around her best friend.
"Lucy what the hell is going on? Did he let you go?" Sarah blurted out, tears streaming down her face.
"Not exactly."
"What?! But then…how?"
"I don't know. They said Im one of them, that I was sent here when I was born so I didn't die, but cos I wished myself away he wouldn't send me back. But then something happened, and I have magic Sarah! This is just some fucked up dream isn't it? Please tell me it's a fucked up dream?" She fell back onto the bed in the middle of the room and closed her eyes. She stayed like that for a few seconds and then opened them. She did this a few times, muttering obscenities each time nothing happened.
"I really hope so Luce. But something is definitely going on. Your family don't remember you! And my Dad, he doesn't know who you are either!"
Anger sparked through her. "They don't remember me? What like I just disappeared?"
"Luce, you DID just disappear!" Sarah shouted back. There was definitely something different about them now. They never argued like this, that's why they had stayed friends for so long.
"It wasn't my fucking fault! It was that stupid book!!" Lucy threw her arms out towards the vanity table where she had found the book, and suddenly the mirror smashed into a million pieces. Sarah screamed, ducking to avoid the shards as they spun around the room.
"What the fuck?!"
Lucy's eyes grew wide as she looked around the room. There was glass everywhere, and she had done that. Her anger had broken the mirror. "Im sorry, I haven't got them under control yet." She looked around as saw Sarah stepped away from her. She sat down next to the vanity and pulled her knees up against her chest, resting her head on top. "I don't know what's happening to me. I don't know what to do." He breaths were coming out in great shuddering sobs now as Sarah edged closer.
"Its ok Luce. Your back now, its ok." Sarah put her arm around her shaking friend, wondering what she was going to do. She didn't know if it was going to be ok or not. She really didn't know.
"No, its not ok. He'll make me go back there, I belong there he said."
"You don't, you belong here. And I wont let him take you!" Her arms tightened around Lucy but she just pushed her away.
"You said that before, but he still took me. You cant stop him Sarah." Lucy said as she got up and walked away. "I have to figure this out on my own." And then she was gone.
