Chapter 2: Curiouser and Curiouser

The wind blew in Sarah's face as she stared out across the Labyrinth. It was warm, the sun was just rising, peaking through the trees in the far off distance. Time however would not stand still for her. Time was her only companion now.

She carefully picked her way down the small incline, holding her hands out to guide herself. Her feet started to slide, it felt like flying. However gravity was not her friend today. She landed on the rim of a fountain in front of the outer walls of the Labyrinth. The fountain portrayed what looked to be a dwarf peeing.

Flashback:

Bubbles...floating in the air...the source of Jareth's powers...they were not a good sign. Hoggle watched as the three bubbles headed straight for him. He was at his usual spot near the invisible front gate of the Labyrinth, relieving himself in the fountain. As the floating crystals came closer Jareth's voice whispered from the clouds.

"For your part in the past, as well as the future."

Then the world went dark.

End Flashback

"Gotta love the De'cor" she said sarcastically and picked herself up off the ledge. As she stood her eyes wandered up the fountain. The statue was very realistic. If you looked quick enough you could swear the dwarf was breathing. But that was impossible. Statue's dont breathe.

'you cant take anything for granted in this place' she thought. 'where did that come from?'

She continued on her way towards the wall. It was a dark grey color, covered in weeds and vines. There were little bugs flying around near the vines. As Sarah got closer she realized that the bugs weren't bugs at all. They were fairies. Not very nice looking ones either. They glowed a bright red color, with fangs and claws. If one of the fairies got too close to another they imidiately attacked until one of them was dead. The ground was littered with dead fairies. Torn to pieces by thier comrades.

Sarah backed up and walked a little ways around the wall. There was no apparent door or opening that she could get through. Just solid stone. She stepped closer to a clear part of the wall, devoid of weeds and vines and tried pushing on the wall. Nothing.

"How do i get into this place?" she asked noone and continued walking. "This isnt fair Goblin King!" she shouted and kicked the wall.

"OW!" cried a small voice. A fairie came shooting out of a nest of weeds on the ground. "Who did that!" She cried and flew straight up into Sarah's face.

"Uh hi! Could you tell me how to get into the Labyrinth?"

The fairie turned a dark red and screeched, flinging herself at Sarah. Sarah, cought off guard swung at the fairie and managed to send her careening towards the wall, where she made a sickening splat and slid down to the ground.

Frustrated and upset that she'd taken a life Sarah screamed out at the massive wall in front of her.

"HOW DO I GET INTO THE LABYRINTH!"

A grinding sound filled the air and the wall to her left began to detach from the rest of the wall, swinging open.

'That'll work' she thought and stepped through the opening. The wall banged shut behind her and she jumped out of the way. To her left and right were never ending corridors. In front of her was another wall. 'Now what?' This wall looked exactly like the outer one. Except the vines seemed to have eyes that stared her. She took the right path and started walking. Aware that the eyes folowed her steps.

There was debree and tree branches littering the ground. However there were no trees in sight.

"This is impossible there has to be another way to go." She stopped and leaned against the right wall and closed her eyes. Trying to think. 'There has to be a trick to it.'

"OUCH!" she cried and turned around. Something had bitten her arm. She looked at her forarm and noticed a red mark apearing. 'what the hell bit me?'

She scanned the wall looking for the suspect and came upon a blue and green worm. She kneeled down in front of it and gave it an evil look.

"What did you bite me for?"

"Cause ya taste good."

"Well thanks but that hurt."

"Ya welcome."

"You dont by any chance know the way through this Labyrinth do you? I dont see any doors or passages or anything."

"There's one right across from you."

"No there isnt."

"Fine suit yourself then." The worm started to back into its little hole.

"Wait! but there isnt an opening."

"Use your brain girly, figure it out for yaself!" With that the worm was gone.

"Stupid worm. There's no opening there." Sarah got up and walked towards the wall stretching out her hand. "Must be on drugs or something." Her hand passed through the wall. "What the...?"

She waved her hand around in the gap. There was definately a hole there. She stepped through and went right continuing the way she was going. Things were definately looking up.

At the castle:

CRASH a crystal smashed against the wall in Jareth's throne room. What was the girl thinking of? Asking how to get through the Labyrinth. She should know what she's doing by now. The beginning was always the same. Even though the rest has changed. She was acting weird in her house as well. Like she hadnt known him. He had decided to play along. Thinking it was part of her game. But she seemed genuenly confused. What was going on? Had she lost her mind?

"Thats it."

"Whatsssss it my King?" said the goblin posted at the door.

"I wasnt talking to you infidel. Now get out of my sight."

The Goblin lumbered out of the throne room.

Jareth went back to his contimplations. 'She must have lost her memory. Thats odd though, everyone who's lost has retained thier memories, so they may go on living with the knowledge that they failed. There would be no point in taking the memories away from the soul winner. This way they could cherish what they could have lost. I must investigate this further.'

Jareth disapeared from the throne room and reapeared in his library. It was filled floor to ceiling with books. There was a desk off to the right piled with paper work. The room doubled as a study. It was the quietest room in the castle. There was a fireplace that was at the moment blazing, with two comfy arm chairs in front of it. Each with a hassic in front of them for resting your feet. Jareth sat down at his desk and cleared it with his magic. The papers disapeared to be replaced with history books. The history of the labyrinth was inscribed within the many books pages. Somewhere in here there would be a clue to Sarah's memory loss.

In the mean time, Jareth made plans to once again try and win her heart. If she once again refused him he would leave her be for the rest of her life. Unless of course she lost...
