Shadow Maze
I don't own the lines from Labyrinth :P
We entered together and found ourselves apart. One moment Madelyn was laughing beside me dragging Julian behind and the next instant, I heard them on the other side of the wall from me. A moment later Angel and Damon vanished from view as well.
"What's going on here?" I cried.
Keegan turned around in circles, gazing up at the sky. It was at that moment that he too vanished and I found myself not in Scarborough Fair but at the entrance of a stone maze.
"Where am I?" I asked myself examining the sight before me. I seemed to be on top of a hill overlooking the miles of twists and turns of a labyrinth. From where I stood, I could see the tiny figures of my friends and other figures slowly approaching them. I opened my mouth to warn them when a voice behind me spoke up.
"They can't hear you."
I spun around with a gasp.
Right in front of me stood a dark angel. His feathered wings were black as night. His long hair was navy blue- almost black. His sable eyes sat upon cruel features and his wore an ancient Japanese robe of black with red trim. If he didn't look so nasty, I would have called him cute.
"Who are you?" I asked feeling like the typical clueless heroine. "Where am I?"
The man smiled. "I am Lord Raziel and *you* are in the Shadow Labyrinth."
I hide my fear behind an arrogant smirk, "So yer the loser the Shadow uglies warned Keegan and I about."
His features hardened and I took a fearful step back.
"It would be best if you did not mention the boy's name in my presence." Raziel hissed, "He is an abomination of the djinn race."
I stuck my hand to my waist and snapped, "Well you certainly don't look like the rest of the freak show."
Raziel chuckled, a low husky and sexy sound. "I am a master to everything here. Even over my own body."
"And a nice body it is." I said before mentally slapping myself. Stupid blond!!
Again he chuckled, "I thank you for the compliment and I would love to simply chat away the hours but you have something to do."
"Let me guess." I said rolling my eyes. "Get through the maze, get my friends and go past the Goblin City to the goblin king's castle and go home. Raz, been there, done that, seen the movie."
He sighed and cocked his head, "I am not David Bowie."
"I never said you were."
He glared at me sharply and I kept my mouth shut. Stupid blond!
"Yes, like in the movie Labyrinth, you must get through the maze and yes you must collect your friends else they are mine." Somehow Raziel's dark looks became darker. "But you also must face your fears. Rob's, Anna's, Damon's, Angel's, Madelyn's, even Julian's and Keegan's."
I shrugged, "No problemo."
Raziel chuckled, "You have no idea what you are about to face."
"Who cares. I'm gonna win." I replied with a smirk, taking up Madelyn's way about Games.
Again he chuckled, "Then enter of your own free will, Piper and be faced with all your nightmares combined."
Thunder crashed at that moment, causing me to jump inside the Labyrinth and passed Raziel. When I turned around toward the guy, I discovered he had disappeared.
"Now remember Piper." Raziel's voice whispered in the wind. "Find your way through the Shadow Maze, seeking out each player in this Game and facing their fear. If you can reach the end with *all* of your friends, you win."
"But if you do not." He added. "You are mine."
I groaned and began my trek inside the maze. As if my life couldn't get any worse.
A cliffhanger! Oh no! And I'm planning on taking a break from this fic. Oh no!
