Dieja loked up at Jareth. "I will If you want me too... she stood up and followed Araie and Jareth.

After awhile Jareth was losing pacentice(sp?) and was about tell ask were he was taking them, when Araie stopped in front of a door. "Here?" he asked Araie. He nodded. Jareth produced a crystal, just in case. He opened the doors. Empty, except for the junk. the carpet was thrown aside revealing the trap door. Araie had left paw prints in the dust. Jareth quietly walked towrad the open trap door. Araie stayed out of the room.

Dieja was standing in the doorframe, trying to get a better look. (*sirens hears in background*)

The light was gone from the window so Jareth didn't see what was down there. he made crystal he was holding cast a wide ray of light into the hole. When he saw what was down there his heart practically stopped.

Dieja coughed, half out of reality, half as a hint for Jareth to move it.

Skelotons(sp?). Everywhere on the ground. Jareth backed up to let Dieja see.

(Skeletons)

Dieja peeked into the trap door, saw the skeletons, and started to scream her head off. (she has a screaming problem, she screams at almost everything that scares her, usually knocking them out.)

Jareth finially got to his senses. "So. Thats where he put them."

Dieja stopped screaming. "Who put what? WHAT THE HELL?!!? THIS IS JUST WRONG!!! AAGGHHH!!!!!!

"Derrin, he put people down there after he torchered them." Jareth said closing the hatch.

Dieja went whiter than she already was. "That Derrin was HORRIBLE! I'm gonna go get Moro now..." She ran off.

Jareth and Araie followed. (*gasp*...*falls off chair laughing once again*)

Dieja ran up to Moro's chambers, not noticing Jareth and Araie following. She knocked on the door.

Moro had just finished telling a joke to Gryffin who cracked up, when there was a knock at the door. "Come in" Moro said.

Spike saw a club, "THE BRONZE" and walked into it. There were people drinking and dancing everywhere. Spike moved to the upstairs floor which was just a floor above, with a hole in the middle, looking down into the downstairs. (I know, confuseing...)

He sat down at a table, and a pretty girl, with red hair, and blue eyes, asked if he wanted anything to drink. "No, thank-you." He lit a ciggarette, and he didn't notice a girl sit down in front of him, very quietly, until he looked up from lighting his ciggarete.She said; I see your smoking. Mind if I do also? Without waitng for a reply, she pulled out another ciggarette and lit it, trying to start a conversation. Dieja stepped inside, and motioned for Moro and Gryffin to come. She turned around, and Jareth was there, right in her face. He scared Dieja half to death.

Jareth fell backwards."Gwah!!!!" he said "Don't do that!" Moro and Gryffin came. GRyffin helped the Goblin King to his feet. "What is it Dieja?" Moro said

Dieja took a deep breath, and said; "Well, as longas he's here," She lightly kicked Jareth in the shoe. "You may as well ask him."

Moro and Gryffin looked at Jareth. He told them what happened. Moro was in shock. "Show me." Gryffin said to Jareth. And Araie lead the way back to the trap door.

Dieja didn't feel like going back there. She headed for her spare chamber. Once she was in it, she went strait for her herb counter. She opened a book that was there, from Herbology, the only subject she payed attention in, aside from Potions. She ran her finger down the list of contents, until she saw the right spell.

Jareth shined a crystal light into the hole while Gryffin looked in. He then stuck his whole head in. He may have imagined it, but he saw movement out of the corner of his eye in the shadows.

The girl held out her hand. "I'm Kelsey. Who are you?"

"William, well, Spike." He shook her hand.

"Hi, Spike. How old R U?" she asked. Uh Oh.

"I'm uh.. um... 27... how b'out you?"

"Wow! That is like, SO awsome! So am I!"

"That's cool!" Spike answered, trying to make up his misd if he should kill her or not.

"Why don't we go somewhere, a little quieter?" She flirted. (EEEWWWwwwWW...)

"Sure." Spike answered.

She lead him out the back way of the bronze, and into an alley. She pushed him into a wall, and she turned around, only for a second, and Spike took that chance to vamp out. When Kelsey turned around, she was also vamped out. She screamed, Spike yelled, BLOODY HELL!! And they both went back to normal. Dieja read to herself, and then pulled out the nessesary herbs and spices out of the jars, and put them onto a clear space. She dug into one of the big drawers, and pulled out a mini-caldron. She put all the herbs in, exept for one. Sylivin's Weed. With that, she grounded up into a fine powder. She added a boiling red liquid into the caldron, and then cast a spell to make the potion mix perfectly. She then took out a jar, and poured in the red swirly stuff, now a blood red color.

"Here, J. Give me that cryatal." Gryffin said. Jareth handed it to him. "What is is Gryffin?" he asked. He didn't answer. The dragon shined it at a spot. Something defiatly moved out of the light. "Something is down there."

"Okay, that was weird..." Kelsy finally magaged to break the silence.

"Yeah... I think so... So, Your a vampire?"

"Yup, one-hundred and fifty years old."

"Oh... Uh... okay... we'll go our own seperate ways, from now on, then?"

"I was just about to say that." Kelsy answerd as she walked away. Spike just stood there for about five minutes when he heard a scream. He ran towards it,and it lead hin into the park. he jumped up into a tree, and looked into a small clearing where he saw Buffy and Kelsey fighting. Of course, Buffy won. Spike stared at the spot where Kelsey once was, but all that was there was a pile of dust. Buffy sighed, and walked away.

Spike contiued to stare. Dieja put the cap on and ran down to the trap door, carrying the jar. Gryffin was holding the crystal, and peering in.

Gryffin chased the thing around with the light, trying to tier it out.

Dieja snuck up behind Moro, and scared her half to death.

"Geez! Don't do that Dieja!!" Moro said. Gryffin was thinking he should just light a large spot on the ground with unspreadable flames. This creature was fast

The liquid was now a light blue, like ice.

"Here, Gryffin." She handed him the jar.

"What will this do?" Gryffin said taking the jar in his other hand.

Dieja rolled her eyes. She took the jar again, and threw it down into the trap door. She threw in the powder, which was in a small bag, and the skeletons froze solid, along with the figure.

Gryffin shined the light on the figure in the dark. It was horrible. The thing had large eyes, gnarled hands and feet. A bony tail, and a snout that had two rows of sharp teeth. The thing was also very thin.

Dieja peeked in at the thing. Her face turned white. "WHAT IS THAT?!?!" SHe yelled.

Gryffin dropped to the ground in the hole, breaking skelotons. "I'm not posititive. But I thinck its a Ricklen." Gryffin said looking at it.

Dieja backed up, whamming into the wall.

"Ow..." She muttered, then , told Jareth and Moro to go look.

"Ugly looking thing huh?" said Jareth dropping down too. "Careful Jareth." warned Moro. "Dieja? Does that ice stuff wear off after awhile?"

"Yea, It will last for about five more minutes." Dieja replied. She also climbed into the trap door.

Gryffin heard something in the shadows. "I think we're not alone."

"Uh... yea, I think so. There's bodies everywhere duh!" Dieja quirked.

"Get on guys." Gryffin said.

"Get on what?" Dieja asked.

"His back Dieja, NOW!" Jareth said jumping on Gryffin's back. The wrong place.

Dieja climbed onto his back, carefull not to touch his shoulderblades.

Gryffin took off but Jareth yelled in pain. He had been on the dragon shoulder blades and he fell off. Gryffin caught him in time and flew threw the trapdoor and landed next to Moro. Jareth's blood running down his scales. "What happened?" Moro said.

"Oh S***! Jareth's hurt again! This s8cks!" Dieja complained.

"Nothing I can't fix." Gryffin said making badages appear on Jareth's wounds. "He was lucky. I've seen people sliced in two."

(cool!)

Dieja spoke up at Gryffins comment. "SLICE PEOPLE IN TWO?!? YOU AWTA GET THOSE THING FILED DOWN!" (she doesn't mean it)

Gryffin laughed, "They'd only grow back." The dragon then walked to the trap door, and spat a black fireball into it. Killing all the Ricklens. Then he picked up Jareth and carried him to his chambers.

Dieja laughed, and followed Gryffin.

Gryffin laid his old friend down on his bed.(do a very long spike post!!!...nothing interesting is happening.......we need...loki...)

Spike jumped down from the tree, and crakced is knuckles. He'd seen a vampyre die before, but never that fast. There was always a big fight first, and THEN the vampyre would die.

Spike shrugged and headed to Michelles house, for he had noticed on a paper lying around that she was now alive and well. And, since she had given him permission to come inside her home, He could do anything he wanted with her. "Hmmm... to turn, or mabye just a lunchable... Whatever. I guess I'll just use her as a lunchable. It's not like her life really MATTERED. She wan't really that pretty, her boss hated her, Her boyfriend was having and affair with her.... Whatever." Spike walked up to Michelle's house, and rand the doorbell. When he heard her unlocking the door, he vamped out. She opened the door, and didn't say anything, her face just turned white. Michelle slowly backed up, and fell down when she hit the stairs behind her. Spike slowly walked up to her, growling. She stood up, very slowly, and spoke, with plea in her voice. "P-Please don't hurt me!" Spike just ingnored her.

behind her back, Michelle broke off a peice of a chair, so now she had a long stake. When Spike was about to kill her, She whipped the stake from behind her back, and stabbed Spike in the stomach. Spike looked down at it, smiled evily and pulled it out. Wrong spot! He jumped at her, killing her completly. Dieja shivered. She was really, really cold. Suddenly, she went into a fit of coughing, and collapsed to the ground.

Gryffin picked Dieja up and brought her to her chamber in the castle. He waved his hand over her throat and chest. By the time she woke, she'd be back to health.

Jareth was dreaming. Or nightmaring. He was 7 years old and was following Derrin and an elf girl to the dungons(sp?) of the castle. Derrin seemed not to notice his 7 year old son following him. When the 3 of them reached an empty cell, acctrully(sp?) all the cells were empty. "Its the trap door for you at sunrise tomarrow servent!" Derrin said closing and locking the door. The elf looked like it had been beaten and tortured. "No, please! Have mercy my Lord!" she said holding the bars. Derrin turned his nose up at her and strode off. A bright light blinded the young Jareth. Suddenly he was in a forest. He looked older. Bowen and Derrin were having a sword duel. They were both really skilled. Bowen had both swords in hand now. Derrin suddenly pulled a dagger out of nowhere and threw it at Bowen, getting him in the chest.Jareth watched Bowen drop both swords and grab the dagger and pull it out. The iron dagger fell to the ground and so did Bowen. Suddenly another Jareth came through the clearing on a white unicorn. Jareth watched the other Jareth dismount and get to his brother's side. Derrin picked up his sword and was about to stab Jareth #2 in the back when Jareth picked up the bloody dagger, igoring the pain. And get Derrin in the heart with it. He was dead before he hit the ground. There was another flash of light and Jareth woke.

Dieja sighed in her sleep. The sign of pnemonia was going away, was a huge fever. (I think so... I can't remeber... I had it when I was four, so... nevermind. I don't think the fever is right, but whatever)

She had a huge fever, alright.

Jareth looked around and realized he was in his chambers. "It was only a dream." he said aloud. Then he remembered what had happened down in the trap door. "That was too close." he said aloud again. He was still a bit sore, but he ignored it.

Alex was, again, sitting on her bed, brushing Sir Didymus's stuffie hair. She got up, and walked over to her dresser. There, inside it, was a duffle bag, filled with books. She went searching thorugh it, trying to find a book she hadn't already read. She pulled out "THE LABYRINTH" She looked at it, shrugged, and walked over with it to her bed, where she sat, cross legged, reading the red leather book until she got the the part where the four guards were. "I think this part is boring... "I'm gonna go see Dieja."

Jareth got out of bed, the bandages still on.(THE INSIDE OF HIS THEIGHS(SP?)) and put a navy blue silk robe on.

Dieja was in her chambers, having a dreamless sleep. (I watched PSI FACTOR yesterday... NOW I'm scared of dreaming... If you ask, I can tell you about it, but you most likely WON'T want me too...Okay... I'll shut up now...)

Her fever was now at 105, close to sesire(Sp?) level. (you know, when you lose your mind, and you don't know about it...)

Jareth opened his chamber doors and headed for the dinning hall.

Dieja was sleeping a dreamless sleep. She was in-(MY CAT IS SPAZING OUT CUZ HE'S GOT DRIED UP MILK ON HIS HEAD!!!)her chambers, in Jareth's castle that is, when Alex came, and knocked on the door. That woke Dieja up. "Come in!" She said, just loud enough to be heard on the other side of the door. Alex walked in, still carrying the LABYRINTH book.

"Hi Dieja. Sorry for waking you."

"Nah, that's okay. I was just about to wake up anyway." Dieja lied. "What's Up?"

"I dunno. I was bored."

"Hey, what's that?" Dieja asked, pointing to the book.

"Oh, its just a book."

"Let me see it." Dieja said, taking the book out of Alex's hands.

"The Labyrinth." Dieja read. She read the first page, and her eyes widened. "I have to go see Jareth, now. You come with me." Dieja told Alex, forgetting how scared Alex was of him. (okay... that was lame...)

Jareth didn't realize how hungry he was till the food was on his plate. Araie, who had finished his food, was giving Jareth the puppy look. The Fae gave in and tossed a piece of bacon(BEGGIN STRIPS!!..random i know..) Araie was satisfied and ate it.

Dieja walked down to the dining room, and Walked over to Jareth and Moro. She handed the book to Jareth. "Read This." Alex was right behind Dieja but really didn't notice that Jareth was there.

Jareth took the book and read the title outloud: "'The Labyrith'..Whats all this about?"

Dieja shrugged. "I dunno, It's Alex's" She jabbed a thumb back at the sixteen year old, who was just a child at heart.

Jareth looked at Alex with those cold eyes of his.(*wheeze*...*gasp*)

Alex shifted uncofortably, and didn't say a word. (*gasp... *wheeze..*)

"Well?" he said(must...stop...typing...so...long...posts...)

"Well what?" Alex snapped at Jareth. (*me... to...*) Alex thought to herself; Woah, never thought I'd snap at the Goblin King!

Jareth's eyes widened in surpise. Noone dared talk back to him like that....Except Moro. His cold eyes narrowed, "Well, where did you get this?" he held up the little red book. When she refused to speak he stood up, violently knocking over the chair. Towering over her he took a step forward. "Tell me!"

Alex looked up at him. "Its mine. Ive had it all my life." She stared into his eyes, not looking forward to getting kicked in the ribs again. She looked down at her feet. Alex looked up at Jareth again, and sneered. If he was going to hurt her, she was not going to cower, like everyone else did. Alex muttered, under her breath, "What a spaz... He outta get therapy... oh wait, not that is would WORK!!"

"What..did...you...say...little girl?" he said dangerously, moving closer. Araie backed away from the fuming Jareth. The Borren could practically see the magic raidating off the Goblin King.

Alex looked up at him, and reapeated what she just said, While Dieja was looking at Alex, astounded that she could EVER be so rude. "I SAID, that you should get therapy for your hot temper! Not that it would WORK!" Dieja backed up. She was going to stay OUT of this. Alex brought it on herself.

Then Jareth exploded. He grabbed the mortal by the front collar of her shirt with one hand and lifted her off th ground and slammed her into the stone wall. With his other hand he produced a crystal which turned into a king cobra. The Fae grinned showing his teeth.

Dieja was staring, unable to do, anything.

Araie was about to go get Gryffin, when..speak of the devil! The dragon burst in, "Put her down Jareth."
