I signed on this morning with my inbox full of favorite story and review alerts! Thank you so much guys! Seriously! Oh, and I'm changing the POV transition since everyone was confused by my last chapter. When it's transitioning to someone I will use their initial. Like if I was doing Sarahs there would be S's..

I do not own Labyrinth. I'm running out of witty lines here to go with the disclaimer..

Please, leave a contribution in the little box.

KKKKK

Sarah told me about them, I knew it.

"Hello?" I shouted at the knocker with the ring through his ears. No response. I walked over to the other ugly knocker. This one had a ring through his mouth. "Hello.." I said a bit more softly. His lips twitched a little, but he didn't say anything. I had an idea.

I danced over to the "ears" knocker. I stared directly at his face for several seconds before he said anything. "It's very RUDE to stare!" He bellowed in the same voice Sarah described. Got him! I thought. "Yeah, I know!" Came my: "incredibly dumb to the average person but really had clever and concealed meaning." reply. Now that's a mouthful..

I walked over to the knocker with the ring in his mouth.

I pulled on the ring but it was frozen in its' place. He tried shouting but the ring prevented him from doing so. I pulled even harder, and to my surprise, I pulled him straight out of the door! He crashed to the ground with a tremendous noise. Oh. Crap. I thought. It definitely wouldn't make Jareth happy to find out I just assassinated one of his knockers. I picked the knocker up, and he was rather banged up from his unexpected air travel.

"It feels so good to get that ring out of my mouth again!" He chuckled, with no apparent knowledge of what just happened. His large nose was chipped, revealing the gold underneath the tarnished finish. I looked down, and several feet away the ring was spinning, like when you flick an upright coin on a table.. Then it toppled. It must have come out on impact.

"Are you okay?" I queried.

"I'm perfectly fine. You wont be able to get through that door though." He retorted with the same raspy laugh Sarah told me about.

I glanced at the door and realized that I just destroyed the entrance to a place I knew about, what to avoid and where to go.. I felt like punching myself. I looked at my watch, I only had 3 hours left.

"Knock, and le' DOOR will open!" The knocker in my hands chanted. I shifted him to my left hand and pounded on the door he used to be the knocker too, with my empty, right hand. The door didn't budge.

I gently placed the knocker on a niche that was carved into the wall, and started over to the other door. I gingerly touched the cold ring with the very tips of my fingers, before lifting it horizontally and letting it go with a terrifying THWACK!

One knock was enough to create a sound that penetrated the thick door. It creaked open in a fashion that reminded me of the gate at the beginning of the Labyrinth. I peered inside cautiously.

There was a red path, canopied with trees, which had leaves that looked like golden lace. Their red bark looked like a labyrinth itself, the cracks turning and twisting in thin channels that worked over the entire tree. The sky was a deep orange, that faded into pink like a watercolor. Silhouettes of birds flew lightheartedly in front of the crystal-like moon, which was already showing. I took one step forward and my shoe sent a little puff of the crimson dust into the air. The wind carried it away in swirls. The golden bushes were dusted with a thin coat of glitter, like everything else in the Labyrinth. But somehow, here, it made everything look better. Now THIS is a place I could get used to. I thought. It took my breath away.

I stepped forward again and looked behind me as I heard the door close. The door was gone, and in its place was a large red stone.

I reached down to get a handful of the beautiful dirt, I found out it was incredibly soft and light. I threw off my shoes and let my bare feet sink into the ground. I realized that I had only a little time left, and started running.

SSSSS

My eyes were teary and my mouth was open, as I watched Kaitlyn in this beautiful place. Jareth saw my eyes and came over to me. "My dear Sarah, why are you affecting?" He asked, expressing concern.

"I'm not.. sad!" I said without looking up. He stared at me with unspoken words.

"I'm just appreciating the splendor of this place.. I never noticed it before." I sniffled. I felt like I was in a dramatic production.

Jareth just looked at me like he didn't believe what he just heard. "Thank you." he managed to say. He tapped his riding crop against his leg.

I gazed, once again, at the crystal. Kaitlyn had met up with something that was obscured by a tree. It was big, that's all I could tell from the gauzy orb.

KKKK

Great. My pants were COMPLETELY covered in dust now. I picked myself up, startled from the large beast that was lurking in the trees. I had been just walking along, minding my own business, when BAM! I walk smack dab into a big hairy FACE! Whatever it was, it let out a gigantic roar and knocked me over. I opened my eyes, apparently they had been closed, and looked up. There was a big patch of fur, or at least from what I could tell. I moved a little closer and realized that there were two eyes within all the red hair. They were black and shiny, they curiously focused on me.

"Grudo" The big monster grunted.

Grudo?

"Grudo? That is your name?" I laughed.

I thought back to Sarah's story, she told me that one of her friends was big and red, but I couldn't remember his name. After all, the peach did wipe out some of my memory.

I heard a scuffling in the tree. It got louder, and I looked up just a moment before having something crash into my face and knock me down once again. "AYEEEEE!" I heard the thing shriek. I brushed the red dust off of my face, and looked around. I didn't see anything, even Grudo was gone. "Hello?" I called. My throat was dry, and my tongue tasted like iron. I looked at my watch and noticed how chapped my hands were. The time! 12o' clock. I only had one hour left! I got up, and my adrenaline caused me to run faster than I'd ever had. I didn't care to look back.

Yeah I know, long time, short chapter. Sorry! I promise the next one will be a lot longer J

I had a lot of trouble with this chapter, I don't know why. I don't like it very much, but I hope you do.
