Chapter 2 – Starting out

J-lea walked for a few minutes until she reached the wall surrounding the labyrinth.

When she reached there, she saw a dwarf peeing in a small pool. As J-lea turned around, she inwardly marvelled at how much this was playing out like the movie.

"Excuse me" she said loudly to catch the dwarf's attention.

"Oh no, excuse me" she heard, accompanied by the sound of a zipper being pulled up.

"No, don't let me interrupt you. I'll just stay facing this way until you are finished" J-lea reassured him still facing away from him, "After all, if you gotta go, you gotta go, right."

After a few moments, J-lea heard a zipper being pulled down and the dwarf started peeing again. J-lea rolled her eyes. This shit was ridiculous. She was sure that Jareth would be watching this and laughing enough to make his gut hurt.

She just didn't know how right she was.

IN THE CASTLE

J-lea was sat on his throne watching J-lea walk towards the Labyrinth and suddenly raise her eyebrow and turn around. When she did, Jareth laughed at the scene he saw behind her. The dwarf, what was his name again. Hogwart? Hogbrain? Higgle? Something like that. J-lea must have said something to startle him as he suddenly stopped relieving himself. However, not less that a minute later, he started again. He saw J-lea roll her eyes and he bent over laughing as he vanished his crystal. That was ridiculous.

OUTSIDE THE LABYRINTH

J-lea was pulled out of her thoughts of Jareth by the sound of a zipper being pulled up.

'Finally' J-lea thought.

"Have you finished?" asked J-lea.

"I, er, yes, I has finished" said the goblin, slightly uncomfortable.

J-lea just grinned at him before looking up to labyrinth.

"I was wondering, do you think that you can show me the way into this labyrinth?" asked J-lea.

"Well, that depends. What's yer name?" asked the dwarf suspiciously.

"The names J-lea" said the late teen as she folded her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow, "Yours?"

"Hoggle. And I thought you were" answered the midget. The raised her other eyebrow at that. What was that supposed to mean.

J-lea looked up at the sky, suddenly wishing she had a sleeveless t-shirt on. Her black tight fitting shirt was absorbing more heat than eggs do in a frying pan. She was glad however, that she had her black combats and trainers on. At least she was partly comfortable.

J-lea looked back down at the dwarf who was currently spraying pixies.

"SO, how many have you got?" she asked Hoggle.

"37 in the past 30 minutes" said Hoggle with a sadistic grin. J-lea grinned back, liking this side of him. He always was too soft in the film.

"Good. There is one trying to sneak up on you though. Right behind you" J-lea told him.

Hoggle span around and sprayed the pixie.

"Thank yer" Hoggle said to J-lea.

"Well, that's alright. But now, seeing as you owe me for telling you that, you can show me how to get into the labyrinth" said J-lea.

Hoggle looked at her and scowled. J-lea just grinned at him and pointed to the labyrinth. He glared at her but walked to the wall.

"Yer get in there" said Hoggle as two doors suddenly opened.

"Thank ye" said J-lea as she walked in.

J-lea looked side to side and saw what looked to be an endless tunnel both ways.

"You know, this is the part of the Labyrinth that I don't like. They both look the same," J-lea said to herself.

"Shows what you know" grumbled Hoggle from beside her as he followed her in.

"Yes, yes, yes it does," replied J-lea absent mindedly as she kept looking between the two ways. On looked cleaner that the other but that was the only visible difference.

Hoggle huffed from in front of her and walked out mumbling something about not being appreciated. Just before the doors closed, J-lea called out.

"Thanks, midget"

J-lea heard a scandalised yelp from the other side of the wall and grinned before she started walking right.

After five minutes of walking, J-lea was very, very glad that she had trainers on as she started running to see if she could find any opening.

'Now I know how frustrating this is. But I refuse to scream like a girl' J-lea thought as she sat down on the ground and lent on the wall.

"Ohh!" J-lea growled in anger. She was going thinking of seriously maiming Elektra when she got back.

"'Allo" J-lea heard from the side of her.

'Ah, enter the worm, right on cue' thought J-lea before she greeted the worm.

"Hello back" said J-lea, "Could you help me find an opening in here 'cos I can't seem to see any"

"Well, of course, there is one right across from ya" replied the worm. J-lea looked across from her and it just looked like a wall.

"This is frustrating" J-lea muttered to herself.

"Come meet the missus and have a cup of tea" said the worm.

"I would but there are two problems. A) I don't think I'd fit," J-lea said gesturing to the tiny hole that she could just fit her thumb through, "And B) I have to find my baby sister"

"Ah, wished her away, did ya?" asked the worm.

"No, I'm not that stupid. It was my other sister who is so stressed out she can hardly remember her own name and rips so much hair out from frustration she is nearly bald" answered J-lea as she ran a hand through her black hair before she shook her head vigorously to make the spikes fall into place again.

"I'm just the one who is getting said little baby sister back because of other said sister being thick" J-lea sighed. This moaning wasn't getting her anywhere.

J-lea stood up and walked towards the wall in front of her. She stretched out a hand when she thought she was close to the wall, only to have it go right through and become an opening.

"Thanks by the way" J-lea said to the worm, as she turned left.

"Wait! Don't go that way!" shouted the worm. J-lea came back and crouched so the worm didn't have to look as far up.

"Why?" asked J-lea. The worm tilted his head.

"Because that way leads right up to that castle," said the worm. J-lea smiled as she got up.

"And that, friend, is exactly where I want to go" she responded smiling, knowing the worm was not supposed to have told her that.

She walked down the left path, thinking that she would be at the castle in no time at all.

How wrong she was.

Good? Bad? Tell me what you think.
