*Hey! Chapter Numero 3! Yay! I just realized that I've never described Julie's appearance, so hey… Better late than never, I think… Anywho, Julie is quite tall for her age, standing about 5'8", with a slender build, but not like a reed or anything. She has waist length ruby red hair and her eyes are the color of Amethyst, with little spikes of green mixed in, depending on her mood. Her eyes are shaped differently, not like any other human shape known. They actually have a Fae-ish structure, like you'd find on Faeries and such. Her ears are kind of pointy, but not extremely. Her facial structure is actually kind of Fae-ish as well, slightly angular but not too prominent. Her lips are full and pouty, and her skin complexion is creamy. She LOVES 30" flares… You'll never see her without them, and she loves anything stylish and original. During her journey in the Labyrinth, she is wearing her trademark flares and a shirt that's made of silk handkerchiefs, baring her perfect tummy (butterfly navel ring included) and pieces that dangle and are weighted down with silver rings, giving it the appearance that it's ripped and torn. Her hair is down also. Anywho, on with the story!*
Julie continued on her journey, still clutching the crystal in one hand as she rounded corners upon corners. She reached a dead end and she pursed her lips in confusion. She turned around and found herself looking at two doors, with the two weird guards. She walked up to them, hand on one hip and they looked at her in return.
" Which door will you choose?" The one guarding the right door asked Julie tentatively in its odd accent.
Julie thought about it for a second, then her amethyst eyes sparkled in amusement, " I think I'll choose the door on the right."
The guards looked at each other then back at Julie.
"How do you know which way to go? It could be the wrong way." The guard to her left exclaimed.
Julie simply smiled at the guard and shrugged, " I'll just take my chances. " The guard moved out of her way and as soon as she stepped in, she fell through a hole in the floor. Luckily the hands lining the hole caught her.
They created a face, " Which way do you want to go? Up? Or down?"
Julie smiled meekly, " Down, please." They released her and she landed with a thud on the bottom, the lid above her slamming shut in the process, blocking all light except for a single stream of light. Julie stood up, dusting her jeans off and she felt her pockets for a lighter. " C'mon Amy, don't fail me now…" Her friend Amy usually somehow kept her lighters in Julie's jeans, why who knows. Julie pulled a lighter out, " Thank you Amy!" and she lit it, looking around the dark oubliette for a lamp. She made one out in the dim light and walked towards it, lighting it. Light filled the small hole and Julie glanced about her. The lamp was sitting on a small wooden table and a small stool stood next to it, but there didn't seem to be a door anywhere. Wait a second… Didn't Hoggle set one up from under a tarp or something? She searched for a tarp and sure enough, she found one. She lifted the tarp and found a piece of wood in the shape of a rectangle and she put it against the wall, installing the doorknob on the right side. She opened it. Eureka! She stepped out and started walking, only to be startled half to death by the "false alarms". They bellowed their protests and Julie pressed on, looking down in time to see a crystal roll past her feet. She followed it and it hopped into the cup of a creature crouched before her.
"Ahhh… What do we have here?" it cackled.
Julie smiled and cocked a hip to one side, " Your worst nightmare."
Jareth removed his disguise and in one fluid movement he had Julie pinned against the wall.
He looked into her eyes, " No. You're too beautiful to be a nightmare."
Julie cocked an eyebrow, " Looks can be deceiving… And you, sir, are a major flirt."
It was Jareth' s turn to lift an eyebrow, " Am I?"
She giggled, " You bet your boots you are." She then kissed his throat and looked him straight in the eye, "But so am I."
Jareth grabbed her waist and pulled her against him, his lips mere centimeters from her own, " Minx. Don't toy with me Julie, for I am far more dangerous than you could ever imagine."
Julie giggled and swatted his arm playfully and he let go of her. She smiled, " Now if you'll excuse me, I must go finish this Labyrinth," and she sauntered off, leaving Jareth by himself.
He shook his head vigorously, " Such a tease." And he disappeared in a cloud of glitter.
