Chapter One - A visit to the author!
******
Lily was about to tuck her young cousin into bed after a stressful night of baby-sitting.
*Just one more hour and I can go home!* she thought to herself happily. *I mean, kids
I love 'em but I could never manage a whole one!*
"Right you! Time to go to sleep." she ordered.
"Oh please tell me another story!" cried the little girl.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"NO!"
"TELL ME ANOTHER STORY NOW!!!!!!!"
Lily quickly caved in. God! That child could be threatening! Not being able to think of
anything she told the five year old the first story that came into her mind, her
childhood obsession, The Labyrinth. Her cousin listened, enthralled all the way
through as she described its many different places and funny creatures that lived in it.
When she had finished, Lily was exhausted but sadly the feeling wasn't mutual!
"Right you! Time to go to sleep." she ordered for the second time that evening.
"Oh please tell me another story!" cried the little girl.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Please."
"NO!"
"Oh I wish the goblins would come and take you away, right now!"
Almost immediately there was a loud scratching sound from outside the window. Lily
got up from the bed to see what was going on, that climbing rose had a tendency to get
blown loose on windy days. The windows opened outwards in her aunt's house and
she flung them open without thinking. there was a loud scream and a noise that
sounded like something heavy had just fallen onto a compost heap.
"Sorry!" she called down to the dark figure.
Whoever it was decided against trying the window again and promptly got up to try
the doorbell.
Lily still hadn't worked out what was going on so she plodded downstairs and
cautiously opened the door. She was faced with a mightily pissed off Goblin King.
"Oh no! It's you!" they both said in unison.
"What do you want, dude?" said Lily.
"To take what is rightfully mine." was her reply.
"What?...Oh yeah, Thali wished me away. But she's only five she didn't know what
she was doing!"
"What's said is said."
"That's bloody unethical, that is!"
"Trust me, I don't like the thought of being stuck with you any more than you do." said
Jareth angrily "Because quite frankly, I find you very annoying!"
"Feeling's mutual!" sniffed the teenager defensively.
"And that's why I am willing to compromise! I'll let you stay if you write another story
about Hilarity and the gang."
Lily looked up with surprise. "That's it!"
"That's it."
"Why?"
"I don't need a reason! I'm the bloody Goblin King! Do we have a deal?"
"Sure." said Lily, then a thought stuck her "You're a secret fan aren't you?"
"No I'm not!"
"Oh yes you are!" she grinned "You sad muppet!"
"Am not!"
"Whatever!"
"Oh! And could you sign this for me?"
"Sure, who's it for?"
"My daughter."
"What's her name?"
"Jareth."
Lily fought back the giggles. "Whatever you say, dude!"
