Beth turned and looked around the room; there was a faint light from the moon creeping through the window, however not enough light to really see anything not even shapes.

"Jesse, Violet?" She asked

"Yea I'm right here," said Jesse.

"Violet! violet where are you?" asked Beth as she walked around the room with her arms flailing in front of her.

"Violet this isn't the time to play games" said Beth franticly searching for her sister.

"I'll go into the kitchen and get a candle lit" said Jesse as he slowly made his way to the kitchen.

"OK, I'll keep looking for Violet," said Beth

As she walked further into the living room she suddenly felt something brush against her leg. She let out a yelp as she jumped away from it. She was about to yell at her sister when she heard strange noises around the room, and mixed laughter.

"Violet, is that you?" she asked, but the only reply she got was laughter that seemed to come from all around her.

"Beth" yelled Jesse

"Yea" she yelled back

"I think you should see this," said her brother.

Beth gulped and regained her composure as she prepared to walk into the kitchen. She slowly walked through the dining room her hands feeling out the furniture and walls. She could see Jesse looking out the kitchen window a faint light coming through it. She walked closer to her brother and came up behind him and looked out the window.

"What is it?" she asked.

"That right there" he said pointing to the red birdfeeder in their back yard. Their perched on the birdfeeder was an owl.

"What in the world" she silently asked herself as she watched the bird, which seemed to be staring at her.

Just then the owl flew straight for the window. Beth's eye widened as she yelled, "Duck", she grabbed her brother by the head and forced him down with her. The owl flew right through the window shattering the glass above them.

Beth opened her eyes and looked at her brother to see if he was all right, "You ok?" she asked.

"Yea, I'm alright," he said nodding his head.

"Of course you're alright. I wouldn't have any reason to hurt you now would I?" came a familiar voice. Beth's eyes widened with realization as she recognized that voice. She calmly stood up gently pulling her brother up with her. In unison they both turned around to see whom it was that had spoken to them. Beth gasped as she saw him, Jesse was utterly confused.

"The goblin King. But it's impossible, your just a character in a movie" she said

The Goblin King stood there in all his glory, his black sparkling cape surrounding him, the tie strings of his black poet shirt undone around his chest. He was much darker than David Bowie was. His hair was, as it looked in the movie, only slightly longer, his eyes still the same color, one blue, one brown. He gave the two a cocky grin.

"Nothing is impossible. I am the goblin King," he said as he took a step toward her.

"You took her?" asked Beth

"At your request young Bethany" he said as he smiled at her.

"Am I dreaming?" she asked

The Goblin King smiled as he picked up her hand and brought it to his face. "I assure you my dear, I am as real as you," he said as he gently kissed her hand.

"I need to get my sister back," she said almost pleading.

"Why don't you go back to your room and watch your video's and read your books. Forget about the girl. Life will be much simpler without her around" he said.

"I cant just leave her, I have to get her back" said Beth

The Goblin King's lips curved into a small frown as he studied her hand. "And why would you want that little creature back. Look what she has done to your delicate hand. And to what she's doing to your sanity."

Beth looked at he scratch on her wrist, the blood now dry. It was true; at times she genuinely hated her sister and had wished for this very thing. "I know, but I still have to get her back" she said.

The Goblin King closed his eyes and let go of her hand. He turned to her; "You know the rules Bethany. But I assure you this is no movie" he said as he pointed behind them. Beth and Jesse both turned and found them selves standing in front of two large doors. The doors where huge and had carvings of what looked like Celtic designs on them.

Beth looked beside the door and saw there was nothing there. It was all open, no labyrinth no wall, nothing except a bright yellow desert. Beth looked around her and all she saw was the desert the large doors and her brother.

"Why are you still here?" she asked Jesse

"Hell if I know" he said shrugging.

"Well what are we supposed to do now?" she asked

"You're the one that's supposed to know everything about the Labyrinth" said her brother

"I do, but he said it was nothing like the movie" said Beth

Her train of thought was disrupted as a loud noise was herd, "DONG!" at the noise both Beth and Jesse looked up at the doors to see a large elegant looking clock carved into the top of the doors. They both stood and watched the clock on the door; it read 13:00. 'Well at least that's familiar' she thought. Just then the large doors opened in front of them. Jesse and Beth took a step backward to avoid the doors, once open they could see the Labyrinth inside. In the far distance they could even see the Castle at the center.

"Well I suppose we should get started," said Beth as she stepped through the doors.

"Yea I guess," said Jesse as he followed his sister through the doors.

When they both stepped into the labyrinth the two doors shut behind them. Beth and Jesse both looked behind to where the door had been and found they where now trapped. "No going back now," said Jesse

"Nope, only forward," said Beth as she looked to her right, then to her left. Both ways look exactly the same, they seemed to reach for miles, dark and dirty tall walls with twigs and fungus everywhere.

"Oh I remember this part of the movie," said Jesse, "All we have to do is go straight," he said as he walked straight. "OOF!" he said as he smashed his face into the wall.

Beth crossed her arms and watched as her brother held his nose. "That was smooth Jess," she said.

"It should have worked," he said scrunching his nose to see if it still functioned properly.

"Is your nose ok?" she asked

"Yea it's fine," he said as he sniffed in some air.

"Good, now we try it my way," said Beth as she began to walk along the wall, her hand touching it, searching for openings.

"Good idea sis" he said as he followed her.

"Thanks, stay close to me. The last thing we need is to get separated," she said.

"Yea sure" he said as he began to walk up beside her.

After what seemed like fifteen minuets of walking Beth began to get frustrated. "We should have found an opening by now," She said

"I know what you mean," he said

"Ouch, watch where you put your hands young lady," said a voice

"Oh sorry" said Beth as she continued to move.

"No problem just be careful," said the voice

"I will-wait a minuet," said Beth as she looked at her hand on the wall, then behind her. She saw a small crack in the brick. She walked in front of it and examined the crack closer and she could see a small blue door with a small welcome mat in front of it. Lightly with her fingernail she tapped on the tiny door.

"Just a minuet" said a voice from behind the door.

Beth looked back in amazement at Jesse; he shrugged his shoulders and walked closer to the small door. The tiny blue door opened and out stepped a small orange and green worm like creature with frowzy green hair and two arms and four legs.

"Can I help you?" asked the little creature

"Your not a worm" said Beth

The creature pointed to its arms and legs and said "I'm a Caterpillar, worms live lower down by your knees" he said as he pointed down word.

Beth looked downward with her eyes and saw a small red worm on a brick by her knee. It looked up and said, "Hi, how are ya?"

"Fine thanks" she answered to the small red worm. She looked back up to the caterpillar. "Can you tell me why there are no openings in this wall?" she asked

"Oh sure" said the Caterpillar. "Theirs no openings in this wall because it's the outer wall" he said.

"It can't be, the door was on that wall and the castle was on this side" she said

"No the Castle is that way" he said pointing behind her. Beth and Jesse turned and followed the direction the Caterpillar was pointing and thought she was going to faint. Over the tall wall across from her she could see the top of the castle.

"That's impossible," said Jesse

"Oh nothing is impossible in this here place," said the Caterpillar

Beth sighed as she turned back to the Caterpillar, "You wouldn't by any chance know how to get to the Castle would you?" she asked.

"Oh I'm afraid I don't know how to get to the castle," said the Caterpillar.

Beth thought for a second, and turned back to the Caterpillar "Do you know how to get to the next part of the Labyrinth?" she asked

The Caterpillar smiled at her and nodded. Beth beamed with joy, "Could you show us the way?" she asked.

The Caterpillar looked around then back at Beth; "Alright, I'll show you how to get to the next part of the Labyrinth, " it said.

Beth smiled as she held up her hand to lift him, but he nodded no. "Put me on his shoulders" he said pointing to Jesse. "Nothing personal I just don't want to get caught in your hair" he said. Beth nodded in agreement as she held up her hand for him to crawl on. She lifted up the little guy and placed him on Jesse's shoulder.

"Hi, how are you?" asked the Caterpillar.

"Not to bad. You won't fall off or anything will you?" asked Jesse

"No I have really good grip son," said the Caterpillar.

"So what's your name?" asked Beth.

"Mura. What about you two?" he asked

"I'm Jesse and that's Beth" said Jesse to Mura.

Mura laughed silently to himself. "What's so funny Mura?" asked Jesse

"You humans have the funniest names" Said Mura
