Disclaimer...I own nothing except for the characters that had never been
seen before. Okay basically the only ones who are in here that I don't own
are Jareth, Sarah, and Hoggle...I might add some of the others soon.

Quick Authors note...Huge hugs and thanks to Kenraie for being my beta
reader. It always helps for someone else to tell me if everything is
flowing. And if I've forgotten anything.... :o)

Alex counted the doors as she passed by, stopping at the fifth one. Slowly
she turned the handle and peeked in. With a sigh of relief she walked into
her room and sank down on her bed. Never noticing that she had a guest
already in the room. "Hello Alexandria."

Alex looked up quickly from the bed, looking over to where the voice came
from, "Oh hello Sarah." Sitting up she leaned against one of the bed posts.
"I have to go through the labyrinth today."

"I know." Sarah stood up from the chair and moved to sitting by Alex. "I'm
sure you'll do fine."

"I'm allowed to take my backpack. He seems to think I'll be out there all
day."

"You most likely will be."

"Oh. Is it hard?"

"I had help."

"Now I don't know what to bring."

"Well definitely bring the food and water." Sarah got up from the back and
brought out two small water bottles of water and a bag. "I managed to grab
a couple of these water bottles and I had them make up four sandwiches."

"I don't eat that much."

"Yes but you might meet some friends."

"Oh yeah." Alex got up from the bed and raced into the bathroom coming out
with one of the large towels. "Help me rip this into two pieces."

"How? Length wise?"

"Yeah." Handing one corner over to Sarah they started to pull. After a
couple tugs and one loud rip the two landed hard on their butts and
laughing up a storm.

"Whoo hoo." Ale started laughing harder, her usually lightly tanned face
turning a bright red.

"First you thank me for staying here and now your ripping my towels?"
Jareth stood amused by the window while both Corsair and Elia sat in the
chairs.

Alex immediately stopped laughing and sat up looking down at the ripped
cloth. "I thought it would better if it wasn't so large. You never said I
couldn't put one in my backpack."

"She has you there Jareth." Corsair smiled and reached out to pull Alex
into a more standing position.

Alex just looked down at picked up her page which already had the bottles
in the bottom. Laying the towels over the bottles she started to place the
sandwiches on top. Noting faintly that the sandwiches had a peanut butter
with some kind of jelly or maybe jam. "I guess I'm ready to go."

Jareth nodded, "Corsair and Sarah will keep an eye on you from here, Elia
and I need to attend a council meeting but I'll be back in time for
dinner."

"Your not coming?" Alex turned to Elia who just raised her hands.

"I need to get back to my own home."

"Oh. Will you come back?"

"Yes I will be showing you how to use your magic."

Alex looked down at her hands, "I have magic?" Her cheeks turned a bright
shade of red when Corsair and Jareth started to laugh loudly.

Elia looked sharply at the two before softly touching Alex's hands, "Yes
dear, it comes with being Fae."

"I guess that's cool." Looking back Jareth she smiled lightly. "Well I'm
ready to start."

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Corsair held up the small brown wrapped
package that had been sitting on the vanity.

Alex tilted her head to the side. "So what is it?"

"Your going to have to open it." Corsair held it out to her and with a
shift of her bag she took the small package turning it over in her hands.

Alex looked at all of them and slowly started to unwrap the object.
Raising an eyebrow at the box that laid underneath. Setting the paper on
the bed she opened the box and gave a light gasp. "This was Grandpa's."
Setting the box down she pulled the old amulet out of the box. "But I
thought that Uncle Neil sold this."

"It took us a bit to track it down as well, but it was ment for you and
now it is yours." Jareth took a step forward and took the amulet out of her
hands. Unwrapping the chain he dropped it over her head, letting her set
the pendent upon her chest. "We had the chain altered so that it wouldn't
hang too low on you.

Alex moved away and looked at herself in the vanity mirror. The moon
shaped pendent went down to rest just over her chest. The soft Amber gen
seemed to glow within it's inner light. Her soft fingers trailed over the
intricate webbed design on the gem before looking back at them. "Thank
you."

"Well now your ready and we all need to be going." With a wave of his hand
Jareth got the group down to where Hoggle was waiting. "We need to get
going. Hoggle take her all the way to the beginning, outside of the outer
wall."

Hoggle nodded lightly, looking between Jareth and Alex a few times. "Well
we best be getting you off into the labyrinth."

Elia nodded, "We'll keep tabs on you."

"You guys better get going. Don't want you to be late."

Jareth softly touched Alex's shoulder with his gloved hand and then Elia
and him faded out. Looking back at Corsair and Sarah Alex shrugged. "See
you guys tonight."

"I'll come get you if you get into any trouble."

"I'll be fine besides...why would trouble want to mess with me?" Alex
laughed lightly, "Well shall we go Hogbell?"

"Arg, it's Hoggle!" The small dwarf turned and started towards the
labyrinth.

"Oops." Alex looked back at the two before running to catch up with Hoggle
who was quickly moving away as if he didn't want anything to do with her.

"I'm going to go with them and come back with Hoggle."

Corsair nodded lightly and watched Sarah take off after the other two,
with a wave of his hand he changed her into a pair of jeans. A wave was all
the thanks he received before shaking his head and heading into the castle.
"Trouble follows our whole family."
