Chapter Nine
Second Thoughts
Krystal tossed her bangs out of her eyes and strode down the aisle.
Left. She turned sharply into the corridor that hadn't been there a moment ago. She marched resolvedly down the hall, her eyes trained on where she needed to go. She knew she could just fly there. It wouldn't have been hard.
Then again... she leaned against the wall, thinking. It wouldn't be hard to forget it all. Neverland would let her. Neverland would let her start again. There was that cute boy there...
Maybe she could return to the adoption agency. Find parents that wouldn't forget her. A family that would love her...
Krystal frowned. There was something wrong with that statement. Something seriously wrong. But for the life of her, she couldn't quite figure it out.
She slumped lower against the wall. Her parentsidn't love her. If they had they wouldn't have forgotten her...
That too was wrong. Her parents loved her. But... they had forgotten her. Krystal felt tears form in her eyes and buried her head into her arms.

Back on Neverland, Jareth watched his daughter. THere had to be a way to help her. He had remembered. The moment she had said those words, he had remembered who he was. And who she was.
As he sat there, watching her in the enchanted mirrors, a song came to him. Without thinking, he began to sing it.

Krys's head snapped up as the words floated gently to her.
"There's such a sad love..."
Krys stared. THe words were quickly cut off and she suspected someone was getting punished for trying to help her. She smiled and wiped away the tears. Only one man in the world had a voice like that. Her father.
She rose once more to her feet. Now, to get home.
Something jumped into the path. It charged down towards hers with all the intent of a dog running to its mistress. Krystal leapt on it with a squeal of delight.
"Paddington!"
The bull/alligator roared at her playfully and Krystal laughed. "Alright. Let's get to it then. "
