"How did I get here? Is this a dream? Pinch me." Arlene said puzzled
by her current situation. "Ouch! What did you do that for?" Arlene was
suddenly angry she realized this was not a dream and this fact pissed her
off.
"You asked me too. I don't know how you got here, and I don't think it's a dream." Jareth said. He was getting a bit irritated by this girl. "Were are you from?" He said this in his most kingly voice trying to sound as most commanding as he could.
"I am from California. I want to go home right now. Take me home."
"Excuse me?"
"I said take me home right now. What's wrong with you, are you deaf?"
"You insolent little brat! I am the King I make the commands around here."
'Yeah and I am your guest with diplomatic immunity. So therefore you must do as I ask."
"I don't have to do anything you want me too. Who the hell do you think you are?"
Suddenly severe tremors came from the earth. It seemed as if the whole world was too be ripped at the seams. Tiles started to fall from the rickety shacks that lined the streets. Jareth suddenly picked up Arlene who was still lying down to try and get her out of danger. Suddenly as quickly as the earthquake had started, it stopped. "Why are you having earthquakes? Excuse me but alternate realities aren't supposed to have earthquakes."
"We have been having them ever since the Lady of the Moon has been ill. We usually don't get them." Jareth replied matter-of-factly. Truth was he was just as scared as Arlene was but he couldn't show that to her.
"Who's the Lady of the Moon?" Arlene asked. She knew a lot about the labyrinth but this new reference just confused her even more.
"Well don't you know anything? Well let's see.were you are from the sun guides everything and the sun is guided by the Lady of the Sun," he paused this was a very complex topic and how to describe to a simple girl would be difficult. "Well sun is to earth as moon is to the labyrinth."
"So essentially what you are saying that if the Lady of the Moon gets ill then the moon will get ill and eventually The Labyrinth will fade." Arlene confirmed.
"Yes, and that is what we are afraid of. Perhaps you were sent here to help us. To save us from this awful fate." "Yes, maybe so." Arlene said in a meek voice. The thought of this sacred her to death she could barely heal her wounds. How could she help a higher being escape illness?
