Mandi's friend and Keith had left over three hours ago and she was still angry at Matty. The little girl had just wreaked Mandi's only time alone with her friend and someone new. It took a lot to get Leia to meet new people without her running away or hiding.
"That child is a brat and a troublemaker!" Mandi muttered to herself.
She sat in silence because there was no one there other then Matty and Alisa. Lis wasn't even able to talk yet and Matty could barely keep up a short conversation with anyone.
"Well better go check on them while they're still having their nap..." she muttered again to herself as she walked up stairs. After her friends had left she had put the little girl back in bed so she could have some time alone.
She walked slowly up the many flights of stairs that led her to the upper levels where the two young girl's rooms were. When she went into the hallway she heard no noises coming from the first room which told her Alisa was more then likely still asleep and wouldn't wake up but she needed to check just to be sure.
As she walked into the huge room the first thing she noticed was Alisa's toys were a mess and of course it was Mandi's fault... or in her step- mother and step-sister's eyes even though both were over ten years older then Mandi it was always her job to keep the house organized and clean then her step mother and sister would take all of the credit for it.
She walked over to Alisa's crib ignoring the mess on the floor and looked in. Alisa was lying in her crib asleep with her thumb in her mouth. She looked cute now but when she woke up most of her cuteness left and she became a little brat who wanted to wreak Mandi's already terrible life. She sighed watching the baby sleep then turned to leave before seeing her black panther toy laying on the floor. Mandi held in her screams of fury that wanted to escape her and picked the toy up feeling the soft fur that had luckily not been spoiled by any juice or food that the messy little girls might spill on it.
'How did they get this? My door was locked and only I have a key to get in to my room...' Mandi thought staring at the toy in her arms.
Mandi looked back at the little girl in anger but remembered Matty and went to check on her.
Mandi looked into Matty's room. The little girl was asleep and seemed to be dreaming a happy dream.
She heard the phone ring once and rushed to pick it up before the third ring. She barely got to it in time but was able to pick it up right on the third ring.
"Hello?" she asked
"Hi Mandi oh my gosh I have so much to tell you!" she heard her best friend practically yell into the phone
"Alright Leia take a deep breath and explain." She replied laughing quietly
"Okay first Keith asked me out!!" She said trying to keep her voice at a quiet tone.
"What?" Mandi felt horrible. 'Keith had asked L.E.I.A out? As in my best friend Leia who thinks that dating is dumb and wants to wait for the right person?' she thought thinking she had heard her friend wrong.
"Ya he asked me out right after we left your house Mandi. Can you believe it? He likes ME and not one of the more 'popular' girls?" She asked (A/N: there is no such thing as popularity. * Hides * please don't hurt me for my thoughts on the subject. * comes out of hiding * wait a sec I'm the author!!)
"That's cool Leia... well I gotta go. Matty's now up and I gotta make her a sandwich bye." Mandi waited for no reply before hanging up.
She sat there without moving for a few minutes thinking. 'Keith asked Leia out? How could she say yes? She knows I like him... it's not... no I won't even think that!!'
She got up and started to go upstairs. She was sick of the way her life was going but she was stuck in it and she wouldn't kill herself... no that was for people who weren't very strong. She could live.... Ya she could go on!!
She walked back into Matty's room and sat down on the corner of the bed. Matty looked so innocent when she was asleep - just like her little sister - but Mandi knew as soon as she woke up there would pretty much be hell.
Matty turned over and went back to sleep. Mandi could hear a storm starting and sighed. Both of her young nieces were afraid of storms so she had to go get Alisa's cradle and bring it in here where she could watch both children at the same time. She went and got the white cradle and dragged it into Matty's room then sat in the rocking chair that occupied one of the corners of the room so she could watch them. She felt something under the cushion of the big chair and stood up to retrieve what ever it was. She found that it was her script book for the labyrinth - which had been missing for a week now- and she gasped.
'How in the world do they get my stuff from my locked room without me knowing?' she wondered to herself as she looked over the book
It was red with gold writing that said the labyrinth in a fancy way and on the bottom it said the writer's name in the same gold fancy writing. The spine was white and peeling away with how often the book had been and still was read and the age of it. She opened the cover gently reviling the first yellowed, thin page of the well read and loved book. She remembered how her stepmother had tried to get her to throw it out and how she had refused taking it to her room and hiding it. She had read it to Matty and Alisa more then on one occasion and both girls loved the idea of the story - a girl wishing a child away and going through a huge maze to get it back from the goblin king, the way he was the bad guy and the girl was the good person who defeated him for the first time ever - and both always wanted it read to them.
Mandi always loved reading it and was happy to tell the little girls it but she never said the real wish just in case it came true. Sometimes she felt like trying it out but she didn't want it to be real and to loose Matty or Alisa because of the trouble she'd get into for it.
"I wish the goblins would take them right now though... but that'll never happen..." she whispered lightly
She got up to go get a drink and left the room. The storm worsened and the branches hit against the hidden window in Matty's room but nothing in the room moved as Mandi left.
Jareth heard his love whisper her wish.
"I wish the goblins would come and take them right now though... but that'll never happen..."
That wasn't the exact wish but it was close enough to it for him. He turned into his owl form and hurried to fly to the window of the room where the wish had been made.
Mandi got herself a glass of water then made her way back to her room slowly. She wanted to waste as much time as possible without seeming to directly and being slow was the best way.
She finally got to the room and sighed in relief. The two children hadn't woken up yet so she was safe for now. She went into the room to see the storm was worse now then before ad she was amazed. Usually Matts would've been up crying by now and that would get Lis going. She went over to Matty's bed and asked, "Matty are you okay?"
She got no reply so she pulled the sheets back to see nothing but air. The goblins all started giggling at Mandi's troubles. She heard them and turned around quickly but seeing no one turned back around and went to the crib. She pulled back those sheets too and found air. The goblins laughed even harder at her.
"Matty, Alisa come here now!" she ordered. Her reply was silence... pure and total silence.
Something started to bang against the window and Mandi wrote it off as a branch until the window blew open and a pure white owl flew in. the owl flew at her and she ducked screaming. The owl then landed infront of her and transformed into a man... or seemed to. Mandi stared at the man for a few seconds before realizing.
"You're Jareth, the goblin king!" Mandi said in amazement
"Ah so you've heard of me?" he asked her
"Yes... where are my nieces?" she asked
"They're at my castle." He replied
"In the center of the labyrinth... if I refuse my dreams to get them I have thirteen hours to solve the labyrinth and if I fail you keep them forever and turn them into goblins!" she said confidently. Jareth seemed amazed. "Yes I know the drill." She said to him.
"Mandi my love that's amazing!" he told her
"I'm not your love. No man owns me or ever will! So don't say I'm your anything!" she told him
"Mandi, Mandi, Mandi you're not mine? Well then I guess I better hurry this up so I don't waste your precious time." He said sarcastically
"Ya? Well I gotta get my nieces back so lead the way!" she told him lazily
"Now, now Mandi stop and think. Do you really want those brats back in your life?" he asked
"Whether I do or don't if I loose them my stepsister will kill me!" Mandi told him
"Alright Mandi you made your choice!" he said to her and with a wave of his hand they disappeared in a poof of glitter.
A/n: that was a little more then seven pages of writing people! Come on you can atleast write me five words for my hard work! (2,300 or so words so far written by me!)
