Sarah shivered with a sense of foreboding as Garrett and Caleb looked
down over the Labyrinth and at the castle.
"It doesn't look that far." Caleb said. Sarah smiled slightly, she responded with a wry, "it's further than you think."
Garrett scoffed. "Come on, I bet it's a piece of-"
Jareth clamped his hand over Garrett's mouth and met Sarah's wide eyes. "Caleb, Garrett, no matter what do not say that phrase while we're here in the Labyrinth. And while we're on the topic, don't eat any peaches, either."
Caleb and Garrett exchanged wide-eyed looks as they absorbed these rules; pondered why their Grandfather had these rules; but dared not question it-or even ask why.
"Are you ready Jareth?" Riana asked, her tone making it quite obvious she cared not what answer he'd give. Riana continued. "You know the rules. You have thirteen hours in which to solve the Labyrinth and rescue Alexis-without your magic, Jareth."
"We're ready." Jareth voiced after each family member had nodded their consent.
Riana smiled a dark smile. "And Jareth...the Labyrinth is no longer yours, so don't believe you'll have any help along the way." With a wicked laugh, Riana disappeared with a flash of lightning.
Jareth made a face as he muttered under his breath: "You always did have a flash for the dramatic, sister dear."
Sarah overheard him, and shot him a dirty look.
Jareth raised his hands in mock surrender. "Sorry Sarah, bad choice of words." Jareth looked a bit sheepish. He watched as Caleb entered the Labyrinth first, followed by Garrett and then Sarah, who stopped dead in her tracks.
She stood within the 'doorway' of the Labyrinth, frozen as the hairs on the back of her neck prickled. Sensing something amiss, she called to the boys to stop where they were and slowly, she turned back to look at Jareth, who was just finishing some sort of odd motion, and when he spotted her watching him, he shrugged and hurried towards her.
As Jareth got close, he mumbled under his breath without moving his lips, "Trust me." And he grasped her wrist, pulling her along as he entered the Labyrinth.
