History Repeats Itself But It Can Be Fixed

Chapter 2

© 2001

I don't own Jareth or any other character from the 1986 movie. I do not own the Labyrinth either. I do, however, own Rillian and Jo. They are mine and so is this story of them.



Jo woke up, went downstairs, and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She felt as though someone was watching her. Why would this make her stop in her tracks, you ask? Well, this feeling was so strong, stronger than any one of you that is reading this would know. Jo had never felt anything so strong in her life. Not even when she saw Labyrinth for the first time. Finally after about a minute, Jo pulled herself together and poured some cereal into a bowl. She was pouring the milk when something strange happened again. She looked up for no apparent reason and briefly saw the face of Jareth.or not.no, it wasn't Jareth.it was a young handsome boy.

"What the hell?" Jo said out loud, "Man, that was really strange, I could've sworn I saw the face of, no way," she paused to think, " it wasn't him. It was a young, more charming version of."

Jo stopped again for she couldn't even conceive that she was seeing anything of Labyrinth. After all, this girl was always wanting and wishing that she could go there herself, but nothing every happened. Can you imagine how she must have felt? Let me say, it was weird.

"Okay," Jo said to herself, "let's just get ready for rehearsal,"

That day Jo had rehearsal for the play she was in. She was proud to be able to play the part of Helena in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." She went back upstairs to get her things for rehearsal. She took her bike out of the garage and headed toward the theatre. Jo felt good to have the wind in her hair. She almost forgot about the boy, but she didn't. I said almost. She couldn't help but feeling someone was following her.

Jareth woke up that morning knowing somehow his son would disobey his orders.* Of course, why not,* He thought to himself. *I had once done the same thing when I was young. It is all going to happen again. Hearts being broken.lives being shattered for eternity,* A sudden thought popped into the king's head, *I wonder where he is now. No doubt he's learnt how to transform himself into his animal form. He's probably gone Aboveground now. But what can I do. History repeats itself, and that's that. Maybe it will be different this time, but oh, it's such a pity,* Jareth turned to his crystal ball and was about to look upon the girl and undoubtedly his son, but he thought that he should just leave it alone, maybe it would fix itself. Still inside he just wanted to stop his son from getting hurt.

Jo had the sudden inkling to turn around. (She was getting a lot of strange feelings that day) She did turn around and she saw (as you might expect) a white (with a little brown in it too) owl hovering high above her. She couldn't stop looking at it, and in her foolish mistake to not look where she was going, crashed into a tree. The last thing Jo saw was the owl flying closer to her and feeling the soft touch of wings on her head.



Okay that was chapter 2. Yeah I know they're short chapters, but something's better than nothing!
