Authoresses Notes: Oh the joy, chapter two! I promise it'll be longer than the last one!
Disclaimer: I don't own The Labyrinth, or anything of Jim Henson's creations! Don't sue me, it'd be a waste of time!
Caitlin let out a low growl as she gritted her teeth, continuing the climb for freedom. It had only been an hour since her and Brittney were thrown into the Labyrinth and Caitlin was already lost and separated from her, plus she was already wounded.
"This is..not...fair!" She muttered, grasping the large gash in her left arm. She stopped climbing momentarily, blinking back a few tears. A sob escaped her throat as she pushed on, determination in her eyes. Caitlin was current scaling the wall in Firey's forest, which is by far not an easy task.
Reaching the top of the wall, she sat down letting her legs dangle over the edge. A small sigh escaped Caitlin's lips, she should have never thought up the idea of wishing Brittney away. "Damned, it's my fault isn't it?" She said quietly.
(Ker-flashback!)
There he stood, in all his kingly glory. Brittney looked shocked, well beyond that. "You're him aren't you? You're the goblin king!" The words came from Brittney's mouth like silk, it was just a sudden spur of the moment thing. A grin highlighted Jareths handsome face, "Indeed I am.."
Caitlin mentally slapped herself, nudging Brittney in the ribs. "Brittney, you're stealing the lines right out of Sarah's mouth..." Brittney quickly shut it, but slowly started talking again. "If it's all the same, don't take us away. It was an accident!" Jareth merely sneered at this, he got this comment far to often. "What's said is said.."
Caitlin stared Jareth down, eyes holding defiance. "So all we have to do is run your excuse of a Labyrinth, correct?" Brittney almost fell at hearing her friends sharp, angry reply. Jareth looked PISSED at that comment, but it was quickly replaces with one of his cocky smirks.
In a flash of glitter and then darkness, the girls found themselves standing on the hill in front of the infamous maze. Jareth's voice echoed around them, "You have thirteen hours in which to defeat the Labyrinth, Or you BOTH become one of us forever. Such a pity."
Brittney bit her lower lip and looked around nervously before taking a few steps forward. The ground seemed to open up and swallow her; she screamed while she fell. In those few seconds Caitlin had gone from angry to shocked. "B-brittney! What the hell! We're not even IN the Labyrinth yet, for Gods sake!"
Brittney fell for quite a long period of time, before she ended up in a dark room. She was trapped in a obulettie! (Or however you spell it o.o)
(Ker-un-flashback)
A small, menacing sounding noise came from Caitlin's left, it was no more than a whisper. "What the...Is anyone there!" She cried out, panic rising in her voice. A small 'Geh-Cha!' noise was her only answer. Turning around, her back now facing my ledge she just climbed, was a horrifying little creature. Bright red eyes, long claws and black ragged fur. It spoke again, "Nya-cha?"
Caitlin bit her lip and moved forward, placing a hand on its head. "You're not going to kill me or anything, are you?" The little thing shook it's head and began to purr, moving closer to Caitlin. "A-actually you seem pretty nice..My first friend in this place, set aside Brittney!" Grabbing the little thing into a hug, she felt comforted. "Geh-cha" It purred out. Caitlin smiled again, "I think I'll call you Geh Cha!"
Meanwhile, in a certain black hole Brittney sat, practically crying in fear. A young womans voice made her lift her head. "Are you ok?" It asked, "You fell pretty hard!" A light flickered on and Brittney saw none other than Sarah! "S-Sarah?" Brittney mumbled out, "What are you doing here? Didn't you already beat the Labyrinth?"
Sarah gave a weak half smile, trying to cover up the slight sadness in her voice. "How do you know my name? Oh well, anyway the reason I'm back, well you've met Jareth, and he tricked me into coming back here.." Brittney nodded knowingly, and the two continues there conversation unaware someone was watching.
Jareth sat on his throne looking royally annoyed. An ugly little goblin ran up to him, "Sire, Sire! About the girl!" Jareth glared at the little thing, "Which girl? There are currently TWO running my Labyrinth, and Sarah who escaped while I was telling those bloody girls what to do!"
The goblin pondered for a moment, "The girl who defeated your Labyrinth and forgot about you!" Jareth put his head in his hands, "What about her..?" "Well Sire, she's with the other girl in the oubliette!"
