Chapter 6: An Unexpected Guest
Kyra walked into her room and pulled out a crystal. Toby had been safely tucked into bed an hour ago and Sarah and her parents were due back any moment. As she looked into is saw Jareth on his throne talking…well more like yelling… at the goblins to do what he told them.
"Jareth, you really should be nicer to them" She said as she watched the crystal.
Jareth frowned sensing Kyra watch him. "You know…it's rude to spy on other people."
Kyra laughed, "look who's talking…and what would you call all the spying you do?
Jareth smiled "That's different, I'm looking out for you, Sarah, and her family."
Kyra shook her head. "Sure, whatever you say Jareth," she heard the Sarah pull up in the drive way followed by her parents, "I've got to go, Sarah's home and I don't want them walking in on me."
Jareth nodded "Be careful Kyra, I don't want any of you getting hurt."
"You worry to much." She said as she as the crystal disappeared and headed downstairs.
"Welcome back" She said as Sarah and her parents walked in the door. "Toby's upstairs sleeping."
"Good, was he ok?" Karen asked as she set her purse down on the counter.
"Just fine." Kyra replied as she sat down on the couch. Sarah walked over and turned on the TV before sitting down next to her. Robert and Karen walked over, Karen sitting on the couch with them while Robert sat in his favorite chair.
"Hey, what's everyone doing?" Toby asked as he walked over to towards the group.
"Toby," Karen said turning around "I thought you were asleep.
"I was, but something woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, then I heard you guys." Toby said as he took a seat on the arm of the chair his dad was sitting in.
Suddenly the wind picked up blowing around in the house.
"Who left a window open?" Robert asked getting up.
The wind picked up some more and knocked Robert back into his chair.
"Isn't this nice, the whole Williams family together in once place. You are almost making this too easy." Ciran said as he appeared in the middle of the room as the wind died down to nothing.
They all turned and stared at the strange man who had entered their house and Kyra stood glaring at him, walking around to stand between him and the Williams. Ciran was dressed in all black from his shirt and pants down to his shoes and cape. A silver pendent hung from his neck and his golden eyes darting from Kyra to the family she stood in front of and back to her.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" Robert demanded as he stood up and stood in front of the couch. Karen grabbed Toby and pulled him onto the couch with her and Sarah.
"Why don't you ask your little guest?" Ciran said his eyes never leaving Kyra's as he sent out a bolt of magic towards Robert.
Kyra didn't even seem to blink as she flicked her wrist a crystal appearing in her hand before she threw it in the air. The crystal expanded and formed a shield around her and the Williams. Ciran smiled at her and threw bolt after bolt at the shield trying to break it.
"What in the hell is going on Kyra?" Sarah said, her voice a mix of anger and confusion.
"Ask questions latter Sarah, right now I need you to call him," She said not breaking her concentration on the spell that was holding the shield in place as Sarah's sketchbook appeared on the table opened up to a picture of Jareth she had drawn earlier in the year.
Robert and Karen exchanged confused glances as Toby glanced up at his sister to see if she was going to explain anything. Sarah took one glance at the sketch and then shook her head.
"Oh no, I'm not calling him, I don't want anything else to do with him. Besides, how do you know about the Labyrinth?"
Kyra winced as Ciran threw another bolt at the shield "Look Sarah, either you call him now or I swear I'll throw you in the Bog. You all need to get to safety and right now the Goblin Castle is the only place that's safe for you. And I can't hold Ciran off much longer. You know the words so I suggest you say them."
Sarah opened her mouth to say something but she closed it and sighed. "This better not be a trick." Taking one last look at the man who was trying to harm her family she closed her eyes, "I wish the Goblin King would come and take us away…RIGHT NOW!"
There…that's all for now. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry if it went a little fast, had to get this part over and done with. Don't worry I already have part of the next chapter written so hopefully it won't take as long to get out. Remember to leave a review!
