Jareths Desire

Chapter 2

Jet's P.O.V

How'd She Get Herself Into This One?

I don't know how it happened... I just remember waking up in some sort of dungeon surrounded by little hairy... Gremlin things... My head is pounding and my stomach is queasy... Rose is sleeping in the cell next to me and Ronnie is pacing nervously in the cell across the way.

"What are we going to do?!" Ronnie cries out nearly panicking to the fullest extent.

"I don't know yet... Give me some time to think..." I gag a bit and hold down my bile.

"Oh My God!" She cries, "We're going to die in here!"

"Shut up! You'll wake her up!" I snarl quickly getting annoyed with the stereotypical preppy red head.

I glance over at Rose to see her ruffling her brow and lightly sweating, as if she's aggravated. She soon calms down and laughs lightly causing me to smile sweetly. But the moment is ruined as quickly as it came to be. Someone starts walking down the cobble stone stair case heels clicking with every step.

"I'll place my love between the stars." A male voice sings, steadily sounding serene, nearly making me go into a daze, "So it seems as if you two are awake. And how's the third?"

The man stands infront of my cell spinning a crystal in his hand, "Who are you? And more importantly, why the hell are we all here?" I cock my eyebrow as I stare at his victorian shirt.

"You may call me Jareth. And you are all guests in my castle because your friend Avery and I have a little wager underway." He smirks cockily making me want to kick him in the nads and laugh.

"What was your bet?" I figure that the best way to get us all out of this is to play along.

"Well if you must know, if she gets through my little labyrinth to the castle in time she gets to return with all of you."
"And if she doesn't?" I start to get pissed off.

"Well, lets just say, you'll soon be forgetting all about her." He chuckles maliciously.

"If you hurt her I swear to God I'll fucking kill you!" I spit trying to grab his collar.

He simply grabs my hand and twists it through the bar, "The last fool to threaten me never saw the light again..." His teeth scrape each other as his nostrils flare in anger.

"Where is she?" I ask calmly trying not to writhe in pain.

"I thought you'd never ask." He releases me and hands me the crystal, "This will allow you to watch over your dear friend. I suggest you get comfortable. You'll be in here for another 12 hours or so."

He dissipates into mid air. I glance into the crystal to see Avery overly stressed and running through endless corridors.

'What have you gotten yourself into?' I sigh as I pray to god that she'll be alright.
