A/N: this is chapter seven now.... Omg I can't believe this seven chapters!



Jareth made a crystal appear so he could check on Mandi, his love. He saw she was in the gardens. They were full of lush fully bloomed lilacs and roses of all colours. It was Jareth's favorite set of all of the gardens in his kingdom and all except the faerie problem the garden was perfect. He thought she would love them and she had seemed to for a few minutes before the faeries had attacked her. Right now she needed the gates into his labyrinth open but he needed her to do something so he could make it seem like she had opened them all by herself with out his help. He got his chance when she waved her arm in a slight gesture towards the door.

"Oh Mandi, my love if only you understood who's doing all of this for you. Then maybe you'd respect me and love me more... of course that'll never happen will it love?" he asked her image in the crystal.

He watched her run quickly through the front gates of the labyrinth. She looked so beautiful when she was tired and worried. He also liked it when she was angry because her beautiful face became flushed with a beautiful red and it made her look like a princess or a queen. He finally threw the crystal and watched it shatter against the wall into a thousand little pieces.

"Now you're safe from those faeries and I'll try to keep you safe from other harms too but I won't always be able to help you when you're so far away from me my love. I'll help you get to my castle and then I can see you again." He whispered as he watched the little pieces of the crystal sparkle in the light of the thrown room.



"Oh now that I'm in the labyrinth how do I solve it? Well I'll follow what Sarah did. That should lead me to the castle!" Mandi said grinning. "But when I get to the second choice I'll go left instead of right. The worm said that leads right to the castle and everything they said in the movies seems to be true!"

"Hello." A deep male voice said to her

"W... Who are you? What are you?" she asked it

"I'm Daimon the last of the freelander wolf spirits." The voice replied.

"Where are you?" Mandi asked "prove you're who and what you say you are!"

"Look behind you miss." The voice replied.

Mandi turned and gasped. A very large wolf was standing behind her. It was a deep blue colour and had deep brown colour eyes. "You...how do I know you won't try to eat me?"

He laughed at her. "I don't eat mortals... don't know how anyone or anything could... I eat faeries and they're very good to eat. Nice and tasty."

"You eat faeries? Don't they try to eat you?" she asked

"Oh no they're afraid to come near me for fear of me eating them" he said laughing

"So as long as I'm with you I'm safe?" she asked him

"Yes exactly" He replied nodding

"Okay... will you help me get through the labyrinth then?" she asked him

"Sure why not. Maybe I can finish off my quest as I help you." He told her as he started walking.

"What's your quest?" she asked trying to start a conversation.

"It's of none of your business mortal!" he told her. "We'll deal with your quest first. What is your quest?"

"I must get to the center of the labyrinth to get to the castle and get what I wished away back." Mandi replied not wanting to tell him about her nieces.

"So you wished a child or more away did you?" He asked. "And the king is making you run the labyrinth to get it or them back?"

"Yes and he's also being a jerk and a bother to me along the way..." she replied in a 'I'm not going to take it any longer' kind of voice.

"And how is he being these things?" the wolf asked her.

"Well first off I told him not to call me his love. He doesn't own me or my body so he should not seem to own it!" she replied.

"Ah so he's acting as if he owns you?" he asked her in reply.

"How do I know you're not working for him or that you're not him?" she asked suspiciously.

She heard the large wolf sigh and it stopped walking. "The only thing you can do is trust me and see what comes out of it!"

"You're right you know... well I guess I'll have to trust you..." she had stopped to talk to him but after she finished she started walking again.



AN HOUR AFTER MANDI HAS APPEARED IN THE LABYRINTH:

* Ring* * ring* Leia waited for Mandi to pick up the phone. She'd called earlier but she wanted to see how her closest and best friend was coping with the news of her relationship with Keith and if she was mad. There was no answer so far but it had only rang twice.

* Ring* * ring* * ring* * ring*

Now it was six rings but still no answer.

Leia let it ring ten more times before deciding to go over there and see what's wrong. Little did she know her best friend was not ignoring her but was not there at all. In fact Mandi was not even in this world.
