INNOCENT INTENTIONS
CHAPTER ONE
BY:
Thor, Vince, Vale, Tomoe, Fantasy Girl (Saturn Angels)
Miranda, a nine year old girl, sat in bed reading her favorite book, Labyrinth. It was a stormy night and she couldn't sleep. She heard the front door open and immediately she smiled happilyand opened the door to her bedroom hoping to catch a glimpse of her father back from his buisness trip, instead she saw a tall man with black hair enter the house. She looked through the door confused at who this man was, she saw her mother come out of her bedroom expecting what she had but at finding the stranger in the house she tried to run back into her room to call the police, the man chased after her. Miranda didn't see any more, all she heard was screams...shouts and pleads...and after a while there was a gun shot...followed by another, then silence.
Miranda shut the door quietly and locked it afraid that the man would come after her too. She quickly climbed in bed careful not to make the bed squeak and rolled into as tight ball, she hugged the leather book tightly to her chest wishing with all her might that it was real. Thunder rumbled in the background and lightning lit her room more then the Winnie-the-Pooh nite-light did. She cried silently and the tears rolled down her cheeks like waterfalls...mommy was dead...and wasn't coming back. It was too hard to believe...even harder so that she was murdered by someone...still in the house, she was alone and frightened. She prayed to know the words to make the goblins take her away, she prayed so hard she felt faint, "please..." she whispered, "please...I wish the goblins would come and take me away..." silence. There was banging at her door and a fear suddenly gripped her, "...I wish the goblins would come and take me away right now!" She shouted, there was silence and then scurrying around. Then she recognized a man's voice in the commotion, "Such a pity...as there is no one to try and save you, you have no chance of ever returning"
Miranda threw the covers off of herself in a mix of emotions, he was surprised to see her small tear-stained face, "Y-You're really here...thank you," she said closing her eyes.
He had expected her to try and take the words back like they always did, but instead was surprised when she ran up to him frightened and hugged him and began to sob, there was another pound at the door and Miranda clutched onto Jareth, "Please Mr. Goblin King...take me away from here!" She whispered desperately.
Jareth looked at the small girl questioningly but nodded and took her to his castle, he would question her later when she was comfortable with the subject. Once they had reached the castle he assigned a gonblin, on of the less gruesome; to show her to her new bedroom.
Miranda followed the small goblin, looking around her in amazement as other children peeked through half open doors. /Does that mean he doesn't turn little kids into goblins?/ she wondered but her thoughts were cut short as the goblin showed her to her room only stopping long enough to say, "You'll be sharing a room with Ms. Christina, she should explain how things work"
Miranda nodded and walked in to be face-to-face with a short red-headed girl
"My name's Christina, what's yours?"
"Miranda..."
"Well, Mira, how old are ya?"
"Nine..."
"Well, I'm ten so I get top bunk"
Miranda shrugged she preferred bottom anway.
"Well, who wished ya away? Mom? Brother? Sister? Dad? Step-parent? Step-sibling?"
Miranda tilted her head to the side a bit, "Well, neither. I wished my self away"
Christina was silent for a moment, "Well, you only tell me and Jarey that. To all the other kids you were wished away by your jealous step-brother John...who accepted his dreams, so now you're staying with us, alright?"
Miranda nodded dumbly, "But wouldn't that be a lie? And who's Jarey?"
"Believe the lies and they become truth, Jarey...is Jareth...you know the Goblin King?"
"Ohhh..."
"Well, I'll explain how things work around here in the morning, at breakfast. For now we sleep!" Christina said smiling as she climbed up to bed.
Miranda climbed into bed as well looking around her. The room was of good-size, complete with a walk-in closet, a modern bathroom, bunk-beds, a couch, and some other things common in modern homes. Miranda sighed closing her eyes tightly, maybe she would wake up and find out it was all a dream...that her mother was still alive...her father was at home...and they were a happily family. With those thoughts Miranda fell into a peaceful slumber, a warm smile playing across her thin lips.
-The Next Morning-
Christina tapped Miranda on the shoulder, which was rudely swatted away. Finally losing her patience she shove Miranda off the bed.
Miranda sat up quickly, "Heeey! What'd you do that for?!" She cried rubbing her head immediately thankful she didn't get top-bunk.
"Hurry and get dressed! We're gonna be late for breakfast!" I already picked out a dress for you, now change then I'll do your hair!"
Miranda nodded and changed as quick as she could into a sky-blue and cerulean dress, the top was dark blue velvet, and the skirt was light blue polyester, it had a baby-blue bow at the back, and was completed by a necklace - gold-chained with a blood-stone hanging from it.
"Good!" Christina said with an approving smile, she wore the same thing though in shades of green with a necklace of jade. She quickly put Mira's hair into a french braid, "Good, you look fine! Now hurry and let's go!"
They ran quickly to the dining room where atleast fourteen children sat.
"The other kids went to live in the Elfen kingdom after Jarey ran out of room here..." Christina explained as they sat down just as Jareth entered.
After Jareth was seated food magically appeared on their once empty plates. Everyone ate heartily, and surprisingly so did Miranda, it was normal food. Breakfast soon finished and before Jareth left Christina ran up to him with a grin, "Jarey? Can I take Mira to the gardens to explain how things work here? Pleeeeaaasssee?"
Jareth rolled his eyes at the little girl pleading with him, "Fine...but my name is Jareth, if you refuse to call me by my correct first name I shall tip you head first into the Bog of Eternal Stench"
Christina grinned, "Of course you will. See ya at lunch time Jarey-kins!" Before Jareth had time to yell at her, she grabbed Mira's hand and ran out of the dining room.
Once they reached the garden they sat at a small stone bench next to fountain directly in the middle of the garden three-quarters surrounded by bushes. Christina smiled, "Alright first of all you can call me Christi, Rule #1 when someone is facing the Labyrinth you must never ever allow yourself to be seen. Rule #2 Once you're a teenager Jarey or someone else assigned will teach you magic. Rule #3 Jarey threatens us all at one point or another, he won't do anything bad though unless you kill someone or something. Rule #4 Stay far far away from the Bog of Eternal Stench. Rule #5 Never wander outside the castle without permission. Rule #6 Never go into the Labyrinth without Jareth, I mean Jarey knowing and never go alone if you do get to go. Rule #7..." She was interrupted by snickering in the background but she continued, "Rule #7...Always beware boys hiding behind bushes eavesdropping!" She yelled angrily as both girls turned to see two boys hiding behind the bushes. Christi glared at them, "That one on the left is Darius who's 10, and on the right is Andrew who's 11. Now back to--"
They were interrupted by a small goblin approaching, "Excuse me Masters and Mistresses, King Jareth requires all the children's presence. Someone has challenged the Labyrinth"
