Gemini: Chapter Four "Misunderstood Beginnings"

Lydia emerged from here bedroom to gather CDs. She glanced at Jareth and her eyes filled with understanding and sympathy. His mask had wiped itself away; he now looked like any other lost man. At this moment he looked very human. She thought, 'this man has truly suffered. He loved her, it was clear as rain. I don't know to comfort him or to leave him to his own thoughts. If I comfort him his pride will be wounded, if I leave him to his thoughts he may suffer more than he already has.' She sat on the coach as if saying, 'I am here for support, but I won't hurt your pride.'

Jareth looked at her. He hadn't even noticed that she had returned to the room. He look into her eyes with such intensity that she was held prisoner in the depths of his eyes. He was searching for something, yet he looked as if he still didn't know what he was looking for. Once again they lost all track of time, it seemed as if eternity was being stretched across her couch.

As if lightning had struck her, his lips were upon hers. She lost all conscious thought. He was kissing her as if he had been starved. His taste was better than any exotic dream a women could have, it was so that it was unexplainable. He lips had a magic all their own. Although she was inexperienced in actual sex, that didn't mean she was a complete innocent. He was kissing her the way she had always wanted to be kissed, the way that a woman knew that she was the temple, and that he was her most dedicated follower and would worship her the best way he knew how. She returned the kiss with as much hunger that he was giving her. He began to kiss down her neck. She kept telling herself that this is wrong. It felt as if she was in the dream again, yet it wasn't, it was really him. She felt as if she knew him although she had only known him for not even two hours. A dream within a dream was her last thought before he spoke.

"Sarah my love, how long have I waited."

She was away from him in the same amount of time that he had been upon her only moments before. He looked up at her and realization came over his eyes. "That wasn't meant to happen. I apologize for taking advantage of you."

"I apologize as well," she was speechless because of his taste that was still lingering.

Jareth eyes returned to the film and then returned to her. "I believe I have seen enough of this movie. Are you ready?"

"Almost, I just have to grab some of my CDs and I'll be ready."

She walked back over to her CD case. Going through which ones she wanted to take. It was easy but difficult. It was easy because she knew which ones she needed to hear and it was difficult because of the male fae that was sitting no more than seven feet away from her.

Jareth was also thinking about the woman across from him. He thought, 'Why did I see Sarah in her. Sarah had been a thought that had escaped him for a while now. Maybe seeing this movie reopened the wounds that have never been fully healed.' He glanced at the girl, 'She seemed to be into it as much as I had been, and maybe the training will have more in stored for me than I had originally hoped.'

"Ready. I got everything I just got to put this in my bag and I am all set." She walked out of the room and reemerged within moments with a big Adidas bag over her shoulder. "Lets go"

"I can't until you say the words that bind mortals to the Underground."

"And those words are? I have tried the ones from the movie on numerous accounts and let me tell you this they don't work." She spoke as if what happened earlier was unimportant. They had a task at hand and was going to get it done without any interferences what so ever.

"I can't tell you them, its against the rules."

"You look like man that goes by his own rules. Why not break them this time." He gave her annoyed look.

"I unable to that fact of I will lose control of my Kingdome if I do." She nodded in understanding.

"If you can't say them, can you write them?"

"No"

"Hmm, how about like a game of charades" he gave her a very confused look. "No, that won't work. But it would have been funny seeing you try." She thought about it a moment. And it struck her, "how about not writing it but rearranging the words to spell it out." Another look of confusion. "Follow me" they walked into her kitchen and stopped right in front of her fridge. There were those magnet words and letters that a person could make phrases out of on their fridge. "Use these and move each word you need to write it out. You say you can't write it or say it, so move it."

He looked at the words and letters and thought, 'the rule are stated specifically, but there is nothing saying that moving the word in place can't be done.' "It will work." He walked up to her fridge and began to spell it out with the magnets. He was done within a minute.

She looked at it and thought, 'no wonder I never figured it out'

It read, "I grant the Goblin King all power over me and for him to take me to the Underground, right now" she read them allowed as soon as she read them.

He held out his hand and she took it without hesitation. As she grasped his hand the room begin to spin. Colors were blending into colors; it looked like bowl of Fruity Pebbles spinning all around her. The feeling she got was that she felt she had just taken acid, but she had never been on acid. That was the impression she got when her world was spinning. She collapsed against Jareth; she stood up so quickly as if she had been burned. She hated to feel as if she needed a man to keep her strong she was able to stand on her own two feet no matter what the situation.

Then all of a sudden the spinning stopped. She stepped away form Jareth unevenly and was about to collapse again when Jareth caught her. "Dimensional traveling is hard for the mortals, its even worse their first time. I am surprised that you didn't lose consciousness"

She looked out and once again she felt her legs would give way, if weren't for Jareth who still had a hold on her. She pushed him away and headed toward the very reason she had wanted to come here. The Labyrinth stood there as if beckoning her to challenge it. The film gave it no justice. It was like deity of amazing caliber. She had wanted to travel it since she had seen the movie. She would have given up the chance to see Jareth if she could travel this beast. To her a challenge was what ignited her soul to its highest peak. She walked up to it walls, as Jareth watched her memorized by her reaction. She placed a hand on the outer wall of The Labyrinth and began to whisper something Jareth couldn't hear.

"Labyrinth I have come here to see you, to serve you, and to challenge you. I am a most loyal servant to you and will serve you and challenge you with everything I have in me to the very depth of my being. I know you are not just a maze and I will never treat you as such."

Jareth watched her and saw the bonding she made with the deity that he served by protecting and ruling the creatures within its walls. As did his ancestors had done before him. He also felt the bond and love the deity felt for the woman almost instantly. He came to the conclusion, 'this is going to be harder than I thought The Labyrinth's love for the woman means that it would protect her. No matter who tried to harm the woman." Jareth had never heard of such incident happening before.
