History Repeats Itself But It Can Be Fixed Chapter 4



This story is ©2001. But I don't own any of the characters from the Labyrinth or the Labyrinth itself. I do own Rillian and Jo. They are mine, and as I said so is this story of them.

Jo decided that she was just hearing things. She quickly got cleaned her hair and got out of the bath. Jo hadn't taken a bath in so long that she just wanted to lie there forever. But part of her was worried. She was just pushing off her strange feelings. Jo decided, in spite of the weird conversation she heard outside the door, to put on that beautiful dress Rillian left for her. Jo went over to the mirror to see how she looked in it, and surprisingly she didn't look that bad. Well, you must know. Jo was very beautiful, more than you could imagine, but she didn't see it. For one of the few times in Jo's life, she looked in the mirror and saw beauty. The dress was a forest green, and fit perfectly. Jo was thin, because of her dancing, and built very nice. She had the curves that would make you jealous. The dress was long, with sleeves about down to her elbow. The rest of the sleeves were lace, in a diamond-like shape that went just beyond her middle finger. Just then she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in," Jo shouted, as the room was very large,

The door opened and a little old goblin woman came in. She walked straight over to the vanity and motioned for Jo to sit down. Jo went over and sat down.

"So," the goblin said, "I understand that.well.never mind.I never understand."

The goblin woman looked confused for a second, then grabbed a brush and a comb, and started to do Jo's hair. She was combing the brush through Jo's hair, and as she did so, each strand that was touched by the brush, was dried. Jo stared in amazement. She had never seen anything like it.

Soon Jo's hair was dry and had tiny braids all over. Jo looked in the mirror, and again, saw the beauty she had never seen.

"Thank you so much," Jo said as the goblin was leaving

"Yeah, yeah," replied the goblin as she was walking out the door.

*~~*~~*

"I don't understand," Rillian said to his father, "what do you mean she's in danger?"

The Goblin King looked upset.

"There are forces, evil forces, that want to do evil things," Jareth replied, "and Jo is part of that."

"I still don't understand," Rillian said once again, "are you saying that Jo is evil? She can't be,"

"I will tell you this: Jo is not evil. She possesses the power to stop time and to transfigure things. These powers are rare, when not trained. There is a force, which has no name. It is evil, and I sense it wants Jo. It wants to use her powers for evil."

"So are you saying Jo is in danger in the Underground?" Rillian asked.

"Jo is no safer in the Aboveground. That evil force now knows where she dwelled. But she will be safe in my castle, protected by my magic," said Jareth, trying to calm his son down,

Jo decided it wasn't going to do her any good staying in that room. She walked away fro the window (she had been looking at the massive Labyrinth), and walked right out of the door.

Jo looked down the never-ending hallway. She didn't know which way to go *remind you of something?* because both ways looked the same. She walked down to the right. As she passed a number of doors, she finally decided to open one up. She walked in, and to her surprise, saw Jareth the Goblin King, and Rillian the Goblin Prince. Rillian tuned around (as you know they were just talking about Jo) and walked right out of the room with Jo's waist in his hands. He slammed the door behind him and turned to Jo.

"Listen Jo," Rillian said with a worried face, "I need to tell you something,"
