Chapter 6...

Allison was furious, and was not watching where she was going.

"You Know! That Jareth has some nerve! Sarah never said he was so odd." Allison said to her self, storming through the path she was on.

Allison came to a very odd part of the labyrinth. There were no walls, but paths of geysers on each side, with a water archway created by them. The water archway lead to different ways like a labyrinth would, but she got drenched from the water.

At the castle, Tabitha, had wormed her way out of the rope, and no one knew until she burst out and started to run around laughing.

"Oh no!" Jareth said annoyed.

"NANA! You cant get me!" Tabitha said, and ran around in a circle, and out of the room.

Jareth looked around at the goblins standing there staring at him, wondering what to do. The door way lead to a hall way, with many doors to many rooms.

"Come on! Don't just stand there! Go after her! Move, Move! Now!" Jareth yelled at the goblins, and looked around at all of them.

Jareth then went out the door way Tabitha went. Tabitha was running around the castle driving everyone nuts.

"I like that girl Allison, but taking this child was just not worth it." Jareth thought to him self.

"Tabitha, come out from where your hiding." Jareth demanded. Then Jareth made a crystal ball appear, and it showed him where Tabitha was hiding. Tabitha was in the stair well room. The stairs in this room, were going every way possible, and you can not fall off these stairs, wether you were upside down, sideways or right side up. Jareth ran into the room, and looked around.

"Tabitha." Jareth said in a low calm voice, trying to make her think he wasn't mad.

Tabitha giggled, and was hanging upside down, on the same stair well Jareth was on, but on the opposite side. Jareth heard her giggle and he ran down the stairs in front of him, turned around, looked under to the side, and saw Tabitha.

"Hi" Tabitha said waving with a wicked smile.

"Tabitha you get..."Jareth got cut off.

"Bye!" Tabitha waved, stuck out her tongue and ran into the door way the stairs she stood on lead to. Jareth ran around the stairs looking for her. Tabitha was upside-down and over Jareth. Jareth did not know Tabitha was over him, on the stair well above him. Tabitha was very sneaky and snuck up over him when he was looking around for her. All of a sudden Jareth felt wet drops of water coming from the ceiling on to his head, and shoulder. Jareth looked up to see where the water was leaking from, and Tabitha was over him, with her mouth open drooling on him.

"Tabitha!" Jareth Yelled, furiously.

Tabitha giggled and ran, then diapered from that room, running into another door way. Jareth found her again, but this time he put a spell on her, and paralyzed her.

"What did you do to me! WAAAHHHH WAAAAAHHHH !" Tabitha cried, just to annoy Jareth.

"Shut Up!" Jareth snapped at her, and put another spell on her so she could not talk, but these spells wouldn't last for long, because they were to be used temporary. If the spell is not released with in about four hours the spell will permanently make Tabitha mute, and paralyzed. Jareth then took her to the throne room, and sat her down in a chair.

Tabitha was mad! She tried speaking but no word's came out of her mouth. Tabitha was trying to get up but couldn't. Tabitha would make faces and stick her tongue out at Jareth every time he walked by, or glanced at her. Jareth didn't care, as long as she was not mobile or talking he was glad, and would laugh at her.

Allison got out of the area with the water arch ways. The arch ways lead into another arch way area, but this time it was with flowers and vines. Allison looked around and saw this heap of flowers and vines draping, like strings draping off the center of a mop.

"Wow, what pretty flowers." Allison said, and went to pick one. As Allison picked one she heard a women's voice say, "ow."

"Who's there?" Allison asked, looking around curiously.

No one answered, then she thought,"Oh, well," and picked some more.

"Ow! Get off! Stop picking my flowers!" A women's voice said.

Allison looked around , and couldn't see where the voice was coming from. Then the heap of vines and flowers she was picking flowers off of started to move. A pair of green eye's opened, amongst the flowers, and then under the eye's, vines were indented and imbedded for lips.

"How would you like it if I pulled your hair?" The flower women thing said, looking up and down at Allison.

"Im Sorry, I didn't know." Allison said.

"Im Orchid, who are you?" Orchid asked, looking up at Allison.

"Im Allison, you've got nice flowers, I've never seen them before." Allison said, admiring the flowers in her hand. The flower had a sort of an eye in the center, that wad violet, and then a black center for it's purple, but it just looked like and eye, it wasn't. It had pretty orange petals coming off the center and arching over, with turquoise stripes through it like tiger stripes. There stems were long, and furry.

"There called Eye Gobblels." Orchid said, looking at Allison.

Orchid looked like cousin it from the Adams family, but with vines, leaves and flowers. Like a mop with flowers and vines, but no rag. She had green eye's and green viney lips, and twiggy hand's under the mop of vines.

"What the hell is an Eye Gobbel?" Allison asked.

"I just told you, don't make me repeat my self, young women." Orchid said, glancing at Allison.

"Well they don't have such a flower where im from." Allison said.

"Well this is not your planet!" Orchid said looking at Allison like she's stupid.

"No Kidding!" Allison snapped, then rolled her eyes.

"No, Im not Kidding!" Orchid snapped back, giving Allison a dirty look.

Oh my god, you are so stupid!" Allison said, laughing at Orchid.

"What?" Orchid said, getting mad.

"No kidding, is a sarcastic remark, like duh, like I didn't know that I wasn't on earth!" Allison said, laughing.

"Don't get smart!" Orchid said.

"What? pile of weeds?" Allison said, and laughed again.

Orchid got mad, she lifted her hands out from under the mop of vines and flowers. She aimed her hands at Allison and vines came flying out at Allison, getting ready to tangle her up in them. Allison turned quick, and ran a short distance, but ran into quick sand. Orchid sat there laughing, and did not help.

Allison sunk, but then dropped into an under ground room. Allison landed on her but, and puffed dust up, she was covered in mud. "Ewww..., it's so dirty in here." Allison said.

Allison got up and dusted her self off. Allison looked around and seen she was in a dark room with no light. Allison went to walk around, to try to feel her way around, but stumbled over someone. Someone was there with her, and it was Jareth.

"So, have a nice trip?" Jareth said, with Allison in his hand's from catching her.

"Oh, it's you." Allison said, feeling relieved , glad it wasn't something that would attack her.

Jareth held up his hand, and made a crystal ball appear. The ball was tossed up and released. The ball flew up to the ceiling and lit up the while room. The chamber was just a hole. no doors, all wall. Allison got up out of Jareths grasp.

"Well, you've got your self in some mess didn't you?" Jareth said, looking up at Allsion, and going to stand up next to her.

"You can say that again! What is this place?" Allison asked, turned and looked at Jareth as he stood up.

"This? It's called an oubliette." Jareth said, smiling at her.

"Oh? and that is?" Allison asked, looking curious.

"Oh? you don't know? Im surprised Sarah hasn't told you about it." Jareth said sarcastically.

"Well she did, but I forgot." Allison said, looking at Jareth with a straight face.

Jareth looked up and around and said, " It's a dark chamber to put people in, and imprison them, kind of like a dugon, but there put here to die."

"Oh man! Just my luck right? How do I get out of this one?" Allison asked all worried, and did not want to be left there to die.

"You don't, tour trapped here im afraid." Jareth said, closing his eye's, and shaking his head sadly with a straight face, trying not to laugh.

"Come on! Are you serious!" Allison asked, with a more worried look.

"Yes, pity isn't it?" Jareth said, looking at Allison in the eye's keeping a straight face.

"Great! Just great." Allison said sadly, leaned against the wall, and sunk down to sit on the ground.

"You know." Jareth said, and crouched down in front of her.

"If you look hard enough, you may find a way out." Jareth said, hinting.

"Really?" Allison asked, feeling a bit of hope.

"Yes." Jareth said, and smiled.

"Why are you being so nice, and giving me a hint?" Allison asked, looking at Jareth suspiciously.

"I don't know, maybe im just in a good mood." Jareth said, with a big grin on his face, looking at Allison.

"Thanks." Allison said, and smiled back.

"Yes well, Don't think it'll happen again." Jareth said, waved a ball in front of Allison and blew it at her like he was blowing a bubble. The crystal went above Allison, and showered her with a strobe of light, a light so bright she could not see around her. She seen the light was some how cleaning her up, it was removing the mud, and drying her cloths and hair.

"Thank you!" Allison went to say to Jareth, but he was gone, once the light was gone and she was able to see.

"Huh, that was odd, wonder why he was so nice to me this time." Allison wondered.

Allison walked all around the room, and could not find any way out. She stopped at a different spot then she was at before, and thought, "What did he mean a way out, I think he was lying! How mean!" Allison went to lean against the wall, but she fell through the wall.

"What the hell? A way out! He didn't lie!" Allison said surprised, having second thoughts about Jareth. Allison got up, and went through the wall's illusion. She came to a tunnel and followed it. The tunnel ramped out to a part of the labyrinth that looked like the one she started out on. She thought she was at the beginning again.

"Oh no, I got to start over! Why wonder he gave me a hint! He's probably sitting there laughing about it right now!" Allison said to her self, looking around.

At the castle Jareth got back, and walked past Tabitha, to sit on his throne. Tabitha spit at him when he went by, and it hit him. Tabitha laughed, but no words came out. Jareth cleaned it off, and was not happy. Jareth went over to her, and crouched down, and grabbed Tabitha by the ear and shook it.

"How would you like to become a goblin?" Jareth asked, looking at Tabitha, gritting his teeth.

Tabitha's eye's widened and did not want to become such a hideous creature. Then Tabitha stuck her tongue out at Jareth and bit him on the arm, because his hand was still on her ear.

"Ow! You little brat! That's It!" Jareth said, and turned her into a goblin.

By turning her into the goblin, this spell canceled out the other two, and allowed her to be mobile and talk again. She was a ugly little goblin, and went to run off, she did not realize, while being put under the spell, Jareth had put a spell on her so he'd have her on a leash. She ran but Jareth yanked the leash and she came flying back, hitting the floor.

"Let me go!" Tabitha said, in a raspy voice, growling and looking at Jareth like a rabid dog.

"I don't think so." Jareth said, and laughed. Jareth too out a crystal ball, and turned it into a cage. A cage big enough for Tabitha. Jareth wen to grab her to put hr in the cage, but she went to bite him again. Jareth made her paralyzed again, and then stuffed her into the cage, and released the paralyzation spell once she was locked in. Time was nearly up for the paralyzation and mute spell, so he had to take it off.

"Let me out! Let me out!WHAAAA! WHAAA!" Tabitha said, in her raspy goblin voice.

"Your not very clever are you?" Jareth asked, smiled and laughed.

The goblins poked her, pulled on her, teasing her, for what she had done to them, kicking them, and throwing them around, then hitting them like base balls. Tabitha wouldn't shut up, and finally got on Jareths nerves. Jareth picked up her cage, and carried it to another room, and left her there. Tabitha then screamed to the top of her lungs, so everyone could hear her in the castle.

"I can not Wait! Until Allison get's here, and get's this god awful child! No one should be suffering this kid's mouth! She keep's it up, she'll be sitting in the bog of stench!" Jareth said, covering his ears, then once again put the mute spell on her again, he didn't care if it became permeant or not.
