Prologue
Years had come and left in time,
One's new sight left another blind,
The throne had almost broken then,
Making men as animals, animals as men
The powers of the Labyrinth-maze,
Soon brought their world to an utter craze,
King's memory caused a blast from hell,
Which caused higher Powers to cast a spell
To never remember the pretty dame,
Who stole the stars and left King in shame,
But King will not forget forever,
For Powers should've known never say never
We start the tale with slight de ja vu,
Seeing familiar creatures, places, and events too,
Slowly the spell will dwindle down,
Here in the Goblin Underground.
Labby-Land
Chapter 1
Robin
"...and then as he inched closer to her...she felt something strange. Her lips suddenly ached for attention as he spoke to her, 'Ginger, with golden hair, ocean eyes, and cherry lips..I must kiss you..' She didn't know what to say.. So she moved closer to him in hopes that he wasn't lying. She looked up to him, and said..." Kara glanced up at the sky and felt a raindrop, "Dammit!"
Brunette hair flowed behind the running girl as she made her way home. She always loved to read while taking a long walk around the town bike path, but for some reason somethng normally went wrong during that time. Kara Riley had become used to unfortunate events, bringing almost no surprise when something unlucky happened.
I stepped up to the front porch and searched my wet pocket for the key to the house. Can you imagine I am almost nineteen and still live with my parents? It's their fault, really. They brought me up strictly so I can have 'a bright future.' Please, I'd have a brighter future if I stared at a lightbulb for ten seconds.
"What is wrong with you! I told you to come home immediately if it started to rain! You disobeyed me again!" Mom, also known as Mother from Hell, scolded me until my ears rung with boredness. Same old lecture as yesterday, the day before that, and the ...well, you get the picture.
Pretending to be hurt by her words, I slouched and mumbled, "Sorry, Mommy Dearest."
"Kara," She lowered her mad-cow-tone, "I know you love to go walking, but you have to be careful. Someone could...rape you."
"I highly doubt they'd rape me in the rain, Mother." I argued.
"Either way, next time ...If you really have to be out there in the rain..bring a damned umbrella."
"ee-ok" I shrugged my shoulders and took my shoes off.
"Honey! You're home!" Dad, also known as Father from Space, came into the entrance hallway and gave me a hug.
Yes, our huge house has an entrance hallway.
"Hey, Kara-kin, you think you could watch Robin for a few hours?" Dad asked all innocently knowing I would soon object.
Too bad for him, I kept my big mouth shut and just nodded. Nodding is always a good thing. Nodding and smiling are even better though; They can get you good things like cookies. Wow, I sound immature..
"Great!" Mom from Hell smiled her patheticly toothy smile, "'Cuz your Father and I are going to dinner at Mel's house. She's the woman who lives down the street that I talk to all the time."
I had to ask, "Is she the lady who has gas all the time?"
Bad question to ask..Cue the Evil Parent Stare.
Cue the Innocent Daughter look, "Sorry.. So when will you two be back?"
Dad answered while checking that his car keys were in his pocket, "Around midnight probably. But don't worry, If you need us just call. The phone number is on memory dial on the phone."
I gave Mom and Dad a hug and they said their goodbyes as they left the house. I watched as th old station wagon pulled out of the driveway. Lovely how we can have a nice house, but an ugly-ass car. I locked the door and headed upstairs to check on my baby sister, Robin.
Just as expected, Robin was wailing and crying her eyes out. She was adorable...when she was sleeping. Her little hazel eyes filled with water as she looked straight at me. I walked over to the crib and picked her up. As I cradled her in my arms she calmed down, but only a little.
"Don't cry sweety-pie." I hushed Robin just as thunder clapped, making my sister cry louder.
I cradled her more, "You know, Robin, sometimes I think you should reflect your name and become a bird."
Waaaahhhh
"No, really, I wish you would become an actual Robin and fly away." My words only made her tears fall faster.
...Then the power went out...
"Damn!" I put Robin back in her crib, "I'm going to go get a flahlight. Be right back.."
Finally, I found a flashlight under my bed in the next room over from Robin's. Thunder clapped again, making me jump, and I ran back to the baby's room wih the flashlight on. Odd thing was...Robin wasn't crying anymore.
