She was lost. Completely and utterly lost. At some point, they had entered the labyrinth and the goblins began to panic. They said no one was allowed there anymore. The king would surely send them to the bog. So they ran, Kaye and Draco on their heels. But somehow she had been separated. Kaye decided to retrace her steps but it was to no avail. She was currently trying the 'keep your hand on the left wall' thing only to come to a clearing. The walls seemed to be nothing but new paths into the labyrinth. A large peach tree was placed in the middle of the space, a stone bench placed underneath that. Sighing she sat down in the shade of the tree, placing her back and head against the trunk. It was quite at the moment. After being stuck in the city and then all she went through she welcomed the calm. Kaye began to relax, trying to become one with where she was, loving the feel of the wind brushing her skin and the partial rays of the sun caressing her. Alex had yelled and beat her when she tried to mediate and ground. Saying she needed God, that's why she was so rebellious. Kaye shook her head to clear it. That's when she began to feel it. The power, the magic of the labyrinth flowed around her. Through her. Then it hit her, the deep sadness, loneliness, and frustrated anger. A small gasp left her lips as she was filled with these feelings.

"Crying already? You've only been lost for less than an hour." Jareth said, amusement in his voice. Kaye's eyes snapped open, locking with his. All the emotions from the labyrinth burning in her eyes.

"Who controls this place?" She asked softly, not bothering to stop her tears. Jareth blinked in surprise.

"I do. It's an extension of my self. My power feeds this place. Over the years it's almost become a living being." He said, placing a hand on one of the stone walls. Kaye felt fresh tears build up. Those were his feelings. So much like her own. She lept up, throwing her arms about his neck. He tensed up at this. Never having someone, since he was a child, hug him. Kaye shot back as though he had pushed her.

"I'm sorry. I-"

Fear replaced the sadness before she ducked her head, acting like a submissive animal. Jareth felt anger fill him, not at her but because of how she had been treated and how it made her act. A strong wind whipt through the small area, pushing Kaye and causing her to stumble. Jareth quickly caught her arm, stopping her from falling, the wind dying out. She looked up at him, catching the sadness in his eyes before he shielded his self again, turning away from her.

"Come on then. I'll lead you back."

Kaye nodded and followed him, a small smile came to her face as she ran her fingers along the wall, the magic tickling her hand. Jareth glanced back at her.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked, curious. Kaye looked over at him.

"I didn't realize I was. I'm sorry."

The wind picked up slightly at her words as his eyes flashed.

"Stop apologizing. I wasn't demanding you stopped, I wanted to just know why."

"Oh."

Kaye was surprised, not use to a different kind of attention. "I can feel the energy here. It kind of tickles. It might be a sad energy but it's still playful." She explained with a smile, placing her fingertips back on the stone. At this Jareth turned around, almost causing her to run into him.

"How do you know that?" He asked, his voice low.

"When I grounded earlier the power, magic, whichever you call it, entered me and filled me with its emotions."

"Grounded?" Was all Jareth asked, searching her eyes seeing they only held truth.

"It's where you meditate, clear your mind, and then see the connection you have with the earth. Once that is done you recycle your energy, putting yours back into the earth while recharging your self."

Jareth just stared at her, his face blank. Kaye felt her own begin to burn under his gaze. "I've been told it's crazy and stupid though. So if-"

"It's not stupid. We fae do it. I just didn't know humans did. Well, I haven't in quite some time. Maybe that's why the labyrinth clung to you." He pondered. Kaye felt herself get excited.

"I've never been able to talk to someone about this. I just started to do it on my own. If I spoke to anyone about it they never understood."

Jareths eyes refocused on her and he felt his heart jump. Her pale blue eyes brightening to a sparkling sky blue as a smile lit her face, her cheeks still a light pink.

"Misses!" A loud scream interrupted them. Jareth let out a groan/growl of annoyance as Kaye looked around him. The group of goblins came rushing at them, Draco in the lead. Kaye's eyes widened before they barreled her over, swarming her.

"We thought we'd lost ya forevers!"

Kaye laughed as she hugged Draco and smiled at the goblins, patting them all on the head.

"No, just for a short while. Jareth found me." She said, smiling up at him. Jareth rolled his eyes and looked away but she saw a smile tug at his lips.

"How embarrassing. Rolling on the ground with goblins and beast." A female voice called out, a group of female fae's pausing to glance at the commotion. A gust of wind picked up, swirling the womenfolk's dresses and hair, causing them to scream and rush off for cover from the wind. Kaye looked at Jareth as he tried to cover his anger.

"Interesting..." She pondered to her self. Jareth lifted a slender eyebrow at this.

"The wind picks up when you're mad." She stated as she stood.

"You notice more about me in just a few moments than people that have surrounded me for centuries."

The goblins looked between to two. Lost to the underlying tones he used.

"I've just gotten very good at reading people, Jareth. I fear I must go clean my self up. I look a mess. Who would like to lead me to my room?" Kaye asked, smiling once again at the goblins who eagerly started jumping up and down at the thought of being the one to get her there.
