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.

Alex began to pace back and forth. Doors were not supposed to just
disappear, they can be locked but not just disappear. Wrapping her arms
around her chest she sighed and just stared at the wall. "Maybe I could
climb it." Musing lightly to herself made her feel a bit better but also
foolish, who knows who could be listening.
Walking closer to the wall she lightly rapped her knuckles against the
wall. "Solid." Turning she walked down the wall her hand touching lightly
on the wall. "How the heck can I get in?"
"Get in where?" A small dwarf popped up from behind a bush. His tiny black
eyes just stared through Alex as if she wasn't even there.
"Get into the Labyrinth."
"Why?"
"Why what?" Alex tilted her head to the side, watching the dwarf circle
around her.
"Why do you want to go in there?"
"Because I need to get to the castle in the center. Can you help?"
"Help what?"
"Help me get inside."
"Inside where?" The dwarf stopped walking around her and just looked up,
his head barely reaching up to her knees.
"Can you help me get inside of the Labyrinth?" Alex just looked down at
the Dwarf and took a step back, not liking how he had to look up at her
from such a close distance.
"Sures I can."
Alex smiled, "Great. So where the entrance?"
"Entrance to where?"
Alex closed her eyes and started to count slowly, she would not loose her
temper. With her face getting slightly ready she took a few large breaths.
Slowly her skin started to return to it's lightly tanned color, "Will you
help me get into the Labyrinth?"
The dwarf nodded and walked down a bit, "Yup, entrance there." Pointing
over to another patch of the wall a small door started to open.
"Uh...Thanks." Alex headed for the door and took a few steps inside,
looking around. 'This wasn't here was it?' Shaking her head she looked back
down to the dwarf, "Um...thanks...I'm sorry I don't know your name."
"I'm Quig." The dwarf stood as tall and proudly as he could. "Who you?"
"Alexandria...but I'm mostly just called Alex." She looked again down both
sides, 'Great I don't see the way we came down through. Wasn't there a turn
or something?'
"Alex?" Quig looked up at her once again standing right beside her lower
leg.
"Yeah Quig?" Alex glanced down and shifted her bag on her back, starting
to feel the weight it had.
"Quig walk with Alex?"
"Don't you have to get home Quig?" Alex was tempted to say to your Mother
but she wasn't sure how old Quig was. He sure looked young to her, and what
was one of the things Sarah said...something about Dwarf's begin the key
holders to the outer wall of the Labyrinth.
"Quig have no home." Quig slowly looked down to his feet.
"Oh..." Alex bit her lower lip and then kneeled down in front of him. "How
old are you Quig?"
"Quig is eight."
"It's going to be a long way...sure you really want to come?"
Quig started to nod quickly, "Quig can do it."
"Alright Quig. Well lets get going then." Alex looked between the two
clear paths. Holding out her hand she felt Quig eagerly latch his small
grubby one on hers. Holding back a grimace she reminded herself to boil the
water she used next to wash her hands. Smiling lightly to Quig they started
down the path to the right, the door behind them closing and becoming once
more a solid wall.
