Labyrinth: The Wish
By: RurouniGirl
Ken ran through the streets as fast as he could. His stepmother was going to be pissed if he got home late again. He sighed as the gray sky suddenly let loose a downpour of water, soaking him thoroughly. He arrived home a few minutes later, dripping water on the entrance hall's red carpet.
"Where have you been?" his stepmother asked angrily. "You're late again. And you're dripping water all over my brand new carpet!"
Ken sighed and shifted his weight, trying his best to block out the tirade. It finally ended with an angry, "Now go to your room and don't get into any trouble while your father and I are out, you hear me?"
He nodded and trudged slowly up the stairs to his room. He quietly changed into dry clothing and hazarded a peak out of his room. He saw his father pulling on his coat and heard the sound of the door closing as his parents left the house. He sighed and went back into his room, flopping onto his bed and picking up a book. He felt all his problems dissolve away from him, as he once again got lost in his favorite book, Labyrinth.
An hour went by and he set the book aside to go get some food. He returned to his room and sat on the bed. In the book, the Goblin King had fallen in love with the girl and granted her wish. He took her brother and she had to solve the Labyrinth in order to get him back.
Ken sighed. If it had been him, he would have stayed with the Goblin King. At least then someone would actual love him, not like in his miserable life. His step mom hated him, his father ignored him, and he had no friends. Everyday was the same. He went to school, he went to the park, he came home, got yelled at for reason or another, and then hid away in his room. Everyday with the same routine and he had to admit, he was lonely. He had nobody but himself and his books.
He sighed, shaking his head and picking up his book once again. He held it in his hands, staring at it for a moment before placing it back on the bookshelf. He lay down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling.
"I wish I wasn't alone," he whispered. "I wish someone would take me away from my miserable excuse of a life." After her spoke these words, the sky suddenly went black, lightning flashed illuminated the dark room, and a white owl appeared at his window. He stared in shock as the window burst open and the owl flew into his room. There was another brilliant flash of light and he found himself transported from his room to a bare wasteland situated above a huge labyrinth. A beautiful young man with brilliant red hair, dressed all in black, and with piercing violet eyes stood before Ken.
Ken couldn't believe it. "Are...are you the Goblin King?" he asked in awe.
The young man smiled at him, an amused expression on his face. "Yes. I am Aya, the Goblin King. This," he said, waving his hand to indicate the maze, "is my labyrinth."
Ken looked down at the labyrinth and then back at the King. "Why have you brought me here?" He did not ask the question angrily, rather curiously.
Again the King smiled in a bemused manner. "I have brought you here because of your wish. But I wish to give you a choice," he said softly, an undertone of care audible in his voice. "Is your life as miserable as you think? Are you as lonely as you believe you are? If, by the time you have solved my labyrinth, you feel you have misjudged your life, I will return you to your present life. But if, when you reach the end, you still feel the same as you do now, I will grant your wish and rescue you from your life."
He smiled affectionately and Ken was taken aback. He was unaccustomed to anyone showing him affection of any kind, especially someone as beautiful as Aya, the Goblin King. The King winked impishly and disappeared. "Good luck," his voice echoed.
Ken stared at the spot where Aya had stood a moment before. An odd feeling rose in the pit of his stomach. Was it possible that the Goblin King had fallen in love with him, just as he had fallen in love with the girl in the book? He shook his head. No, that was impossible. Nobody loved him. Yet, he had shown some affection, and even caring, toward him. And the fact that he had given him a choice to back out of his wish was the complete opposite as what had happened in the book. He sighed. Nah, it was just wishful thinking. Nobody would ever love him. He shrugged the feeling off and headed down the hill toward the Labyrinth's outer wall.
The path down was quite steep and Ken slid, rather than walked, down most of it. Once he hit the bottom he set off to find the door that would lead him into the labyrinth. He began to circle the wall and soon came to small clearing that somewhat resembled a garden of sorts. Small pixies flew about the clearing, laughing and singing in their squeaky little voices, and in the mists of these tiny creatures a man stood holding some kind of pump. As Ken watched, the man held the pump up and sprayed one of the pixies with the contents. The little pixie gasped and fell to the ground with a small thud.
Ken cleared his throat as he stepped into the clearing. The man jumped and whirled around. "Oh, it's you," he said unenthusiastically. "What do you want?"
"I was wondering if you knew the way into the labyrinth. I thought you might be able to help me, um...."
"Yohji," the man said indignantly.
Ken smiled. "I thought you might be able to help me, Yohji."
Yohji turned away with a huff. "And why should I?"
Ken turned away. "You don't have to help me if you don't want to, but could you at least tell me the way into the labyrinth?"
"Well sure I'll tell you. You just have to ask the right questions, that's all."
Ken sighed in frustration. "How do I get into the labyrinth," he said in frustration.
Yohji smile. "That's more like it." He walked over to where an immense black door stood in the wall and pushed it open. "This is how you get in into the labyrinth," he said.
Ken walked over to stand beside Yohji and peered into the long passage before him. The man took a cursory glance and patted Ken on the back.
"Well, see you around. Good luck," he said as he turned and walked away.
Ken watched him go and then turned back to the task at hand. He took another glance into the dark passage. It seemed to never end. He sighed, taking a deep breath as he prepared himself to go into the labyrinth.
