Chapter 2: Lily in Wonderland
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jack...Who...who are you?"
"Sarah..."
"Where is Lily?" Jack stared at her with those kind ocean blue eyes and Sarah's thoughts went to war as she realized what was going on.
"She's...in the labyrinth..."
'Jareth's games are never-ending,' she thought, sighing and rolling her eyes, as she put her hands to the side of her face in frustration.
'Could this be him?' She gave Jack a sideways glance and stared back at the ground as this became even more alarming.
'But what if it isn't...then we're just wasting time to save that girl...13 hours...'
A barely audible voice was sounding off right then, "You can't let Jareth control you like this."
Sarah blinked as she turned around to see Jack running off toward the labyrinth.
"Wait!" She started off toward the entrance...but as those who are in the labyrinth differ or change, so does the labyrinth..."The Labyrinth is built on the souls, the heart, the courage of others..." It is ever changing...
---The Castle---
Jareth lounged on his throne, oblivious to the commotion of the goblins before, over, below, up and around him, and lazily twirling a crystal in his hand.
Jareth grinned as he looked to Lily, wide eyed and alert, obviously amused with her state of confusion.
'If she's to be staying here I should make use of this human maiden.'
Jareth shifted his wrist and tossed the crystal ball to Lily. She caught it in both hands and stared at it for a moment as the surrounding pandemonium melted away, save for herself and the goblin king.
She heard him in a whisper as he circled her, leaving her in a dream-like state of mind, "You chose your path, Lily, now it is up to you to take it..."
Lily spun around to find that the castle beyond the goblin city wasn't remotely similar to the wonderland that she had been transported to just moments before she had....no...for some reason she couldn't figure out exactly where she was or how she had traveled here in the first place...although she had the most peculiar feeling that she was waiting for something...or some one.
Taking in her environment more clearly now, she could see that she was in an orchard and tall trees surrounded her as the sun shone brightly above them, although a breeze floated happily in Lily's hair. On the trees grew the most delectable looking peaches...
---The Labyrinth---
"What...happened?" Sarah looked as surprised as she had once she had been led, or rather forced to the labyrinth undeniably by the work of Jareth.
The Labyrinth had indeed changed since her last visit.
Ivy grew over the walls in the entrance to the labyrinth and the sky was not as it had appeared to be from the hill, now shades of soft pink, violet, and blue as the sun set on the far end of the walls.
There were lanterns hung along the black stone with blue fire inside of them and in every lamp danced two faeries around the flame in the center.
The old rotten entrance to the labyrinth had no more eye fungus creatures growing onto it, but it was made of pure gold. Sarah couldn't fully comprehend what had happened to it. The Labyrinth was strange enough...but the one thing that bothered Sarah to an extent was that she was not on the ground, except she was.
Looking up to the sky she reached up, and realized that she wasn't standing upright at all once her hand reached the ceiling that had been painted the brilliant colors of a sunset. They were upside down and as far as Sarah could tell, somewhere inside the Labyrinth already.
Jack reached down to touch the painted sky also and looked to the golden doors.
"What's happening? What is this place?!" Jack demanded, turning to Sarah and backing up against the wall.
"It's the Labyrinth...What else?" A wispy voice could be heard, like the chiming of a bell almost, coming from somewhere unseen.
That voice was familiar...Jack turned to one of the hanging lamps to see a faerie with blonde hair and piercing eyes, smiling at him admiringly through the glass.
"Oona?! How did you get here?" Jack exclaimed, reaching to take down the lantern.
"Free and Careless flying through the wood, I came upon a crystal. The most wonderful feeling I felt that you couldn't imagine, Jack!"
"Wait, don't touch it!" Sarah moved to swat Jack's hand away.
Jack stopped and looked at Sarah in mid-reach, puzzled.
"You can't trust faeries...it's almost common sense!"
Oona was looking daggers at Sarah and had grown an instant disliking for her then and there.
"It's okay," said Jack, smiling honestly, "Oona is my friend...She will help us find Lily."
"Is that it then? We must find the princess before she gets herself into another royal mess?" The faerie huffed, crossing her arms.
"We have to, Oona, please?" There was that look again...those eyes...Sarah couldn't help feeling warm inside when he looked at her like that, and Oona couldn't resist it any better.
"Yes, yes, come on then! Get me out of here!" The faerie beat lightly on the glass, smiling at Jack. There was something about her that Sarah just couldn't trust...
---The Orchard---
Lily sat in the shade, taking another bite of the peach and laid it in her lap, looking about the orchard. Everything seemed perfect. Nothing was missing.
Suddenly as Lily took the last bite of the peach the sky started fading to black slowly and the leaves on the trees started falling. The peaches dropped from the trees also, raining down on the ground.
Lily stood up, hearing a faraway voice telling her something, 'Wake up, Wake up, Wake up now!"
Lily's eyes shot open just as the orchard had gone pitch black and looked around for the source of the voice.
A pale man stood before her with raven black hair and dark brown eyes. He looked like a normal human, but he leaned over her as she lay propped up against a yellow, florescent wall behind her.
"Where-Where am I?" Lily tried to stand up, but the man pulled her back down just as she was about to hit her head on the 4 foot high ceiling above that was dripping a weak acid onto the ground around them.
"You're in an oubliette, fair lady...calm yourself." The man said, smiling wolfishly, but she was certain he meant her no harm.
"An oubliette?"
"Yes, an oubliette, a noose, a trap, a dungeon, a cell, a hold, a pit, a vault, a prison, a catacomb, a cavern, a cave, a place...to forget." Lily blinked, slightly confused.
"Who...are you?"
"Full of questions, hm? Well, my name is Wolf, and you are?"
"I'm Lily...and...why is your name wolf?" Lily said, feeling a little insecure about why some one would have the name of a vicious predator...although he didn't seem evil in any way now...
"Well..." The man laughed mischieviously, looking back up at Lily, "You see...I'm what you might call a...werewolf..." He glanced around the oubliette as if looking to see if anyone was listening, even if it was totally obvious that no one was even there except the two of them, the small dungeon being a little too quiet as their voices echoed off the walls.
Wolf looked back to her and smiled slyly, putting a finger to his lips, as his eyes flashed amber golden yellow, and for a moment his eyes became that of a wolf, "Sh...don't tell..."
Lily's mouth dropped open, as she gaped at the werewolf who happened to be hovering over her...
"Oh...don't be scared...I won't bite." Lily wasn't so sure of this.
