Ê Jareth's Gone
Chapter 3
A girl stood on the loading station of the subway, honey-blonde hair framing strange, golden eyes. This was Shenya, cousin to Jareth, the Goblin King. It was her first time going alone in the Underground.
Suddenly, the lights went out. The train coming in lost power. Shenya walked forward calmly as everyone else screamed and panicked. She walked off of the platform, though instead of hitting the tracks five fett below, she stood outside the Labyrinth.
Shenya took in the orange sky, which was shing down on the Labyrinth and weeds indefinitely. Jareth stood with a big smile on his face.
"Have a nice trip Shenya?" The Goblin King asked.
"Yes, thank you so much for inviting me here!" Shenya jumped on him and wrapped him in a big hug.
"Hold on, I have a gift for you," Jareth told the eight year old. He handed her a mother of pearl necklace, with a sapphire3 dragonfly set on it. "The dragonfly glows when the matching ring is near. And I have it."
"ThankyouThankyouThankyou!" Shenya responded, hugging him and giving him a sisterly kiss on the cheek. "I'll never take it off." She vowed.

Shenya woke up from her dreams as the fireys came out and tried to rip off her and Sarah's heads.
She and Sarah picked up the string and ran towards a stone wall. Shenya clambered up and helped Sarah over.
"Shouldn't we be running out of string soon?" Sarah asked. Shenya looked at the string it hadn't moved since last time she looked.
"Maybe we should go back," Shenya suggested. So they backtracked until they reached a hedge part.
"It's not fair! Our string broke!" Sarah cried when they had come to the end. Sheya inspected it.
"Not broke. Cut. see, the end isn't ragged, it's straight. If it were broken the end would be ragged." Shenya replied. "I have a better idea anyway."
Shenya took out her necklace. She held it in front of her. Immediately, it started pulsing light, faster in one direction, slower in any others.
"Why does it do that?" sarah asked.
"Jareth has the dragonfly ring, and it glows when they are near each other," Shenya explained.
"Oh."

Jareth noticed his ring glowing when he woke up again. It was a signet ring made of silver and mother-of-pearl. There was a sapphire dragonfly curled into the shape of a J in the middle. The sapphire bug was pulsing faster and getting brighter.
Jareth slipped off his ring, and it fell down his sleeve. His arms were chained above the wall with iron, over his head. He remained sitting, as standing would be extremely painful.
Oh, Shenya. Why are you coming? Can't you see it's a trap?' Jareth thought. He knew the only was to contact her was through the crystals, or to get the ring up to his mouth, so he could talk into it.
The fat goblin leader came in. He was followed by Dirpeck, two other goblins, and a human boy.
"Leave," the human commanded, and the goblins hurried to obey.
"Do you remember me?" the boy asked. Jareth didn't answer. "No? Pity. Six years ago, you kidnapped me. You forced my sister to run through that horrible labyrinth, giving her less than thirteen hours to do so. I don't take well to those that hurt my sister." Jareth realized that this could only be Toby, Sarah's half-brother.
"How do you think to rule the goblins?" Jareth asked.
"Rule them? Why would I want to rule them? I just want revenge. And now, I'm going to get it." Toby snapped his fingers, and goblins came in with various torture devices. Terrible machines, with only the intent to break him. Jareth silently vowed not to scream. Even if it killed him.

"What's that smell?" Shenya asked, covering her nose.
"The Eternal Bog of Stench. Once you smell it, you'll never forget it." Sarah answered.
"Yuck! Nasty! Not even Jareth comes down here, and now I know why! Uck!" Shenya exclaimed.
"Come on, it's not that bad once you get used to it," Sarah said, helping Shenya cross the stepping stones. Shenya stopped in the middle stone, growing dull when she moved off.
Sarah moved back over to her and looked down at the volcanoe thingy. [Scientific term people] According to the necklace, Jareth was down there.
Shenya took a big breath, and before Sarah could stop her, jumped down. The thing opened and swallowed her, emitting a burp afterwards. Sarah shook her head, then jumped down after her.
Sarah fell through a long, dark tunnel, and ended in a familiar place. It was sandy, containing no doors or ladders. The Obliuette.
Shenya got up and dusted herself off. She started off over to a hidden cleft, following the necklace. Suddenly, she gasped and stumbled back.
"He's there," she whispered.

A/N: Evil Cliffie! Yes, I will add more when I get another review, at least. The next chapter or two is already written, they just need to be typed. Sorry about the Toby bashing, but I need an evil guy, and I don't feel like making one up.
The next chapter will be a cliffhanger, and I need help for the part after it. Simply answer the following questions.
1) Friend or foe?
2) If friend, pick one: big and strong, smalll and cowardly, or annoying and noble.
3) If Foe: pick one: treason or revenge
Thank you. I look forward to all reviews.
