AN: I do not own the movie Labyrinth, any of its characters or contents. This is done purely for fun.

I want to thank everyone for reading this story and reviewing it. Thank you!!

Chapter 10

Annie looked in bewilderment at the handsome figure laughing like a clown.

"Um, are you alright," Annie asked cautiously.

"Yes, I'm quite alright," Jareth said suppressing any urges to laugh at the silly little girl.

"So you were saying," Annie said in the voice that seduced her hot neighbor when she was 17.

"Oh my dear girl, did you actually think I was serious," Jareth said, amused.

"No, of course not," she said, hardening her voice.

"No, of course not," Jareth said mockingly. "You moaned at my touch, spoke to me with a voice that I suppose was to be seductive and you say you didn't think I was serious? Someone's a liar and I don't like liars. Goblins, mischief and scheming I don't mind, but liars I do."

Annie had enough from the Goblin King. She would find her baby sister and then leave, never to return. Even if it's just a dream, she thought. She would show him.

"Well, it's been fun but I've got to go," Annie said, walking away from the Goblin King.

"Wait," Jareth said in a voice perfectly measured to give hope to the hopeless. "I have something for you."

"Oh, ok," Annie said. She stopped and turned back to him. I knew it, she thought. I knew he was just playing. After all he is a trickster. "What is it?"

"Just this," Jareth said holding up a round crystal. The only difference with this crystal was that when Annie looked into it she could see nothing.

"Oh thank you," Annie said reaching for the crystal ball." What is it?"

"It's advice," Jareth said

"Advice," Annie said incredulously.

"Yes, in the future," Jareth said as he dropped the ball. "If you wish to seduce me, well if you wish to seduce anyone, you probably shouldn't use the voice you were using. Sounds a bit like-oh I don't know-let's say a squawking chicken mixed with a little bit of oh, Bog of Eternal Stench."

"Excuse me, what did you say," Annie asked angrily, offended by the cocky persona before her.

"Bog of Eternal Stench. I believe you mortals have something called mints," Jareth answered smugly. "I'd advise you to use it…everyday."

"Oh, you bastard!" Annie raised her hand to slap the odious man before her.

"That will be enough of that madam," Jareth said grabbing her hand and thus stopping her from fulfilling her desire. Jareth roughly pushed Annie to the wall at her back. When he next spoke, it was a voice laced with danger and malice. "Try that again and you'll never find your baby sister. Furthermore you will never leave the Labyrinth, never see your world again. Do you understand?"

Annie looked at him through narrowed eyes then turned around and continued through the Labyrinth.

"This will be fun," Jareth said to himself as he watched Annie walk away.
