An Unwelcomed Guest

Ann slowly opened her eyes then sat up in the bed, to her surprise her surrounding were quite different from her room or decor she was used to. Then Ann remembered what had happened to her. Looking around she noticed she was sitting on a very lavish king size canopy bed with drapes hanging from the four post so that the person sleeping could actually pull the drapes together to cover all three side of the bed for privacy or to block out unwanted light. The walls were a stony brick, and a beautiful embroidered tapestry hung on the opposite wall from the bed while many pictures adorned the walls. With candles that hung from the walls for light.

Ann got up and walked over to the arched window and opened the shudders letting what little light was left of the day filter into the room. Then to her surprise she noticed that she was overlooking the biggest maze she had ever seen. 'It had to be the Labyrinth', she thought. Ann still could not believe what was happening to her. The Underground was real and the Goblin King was also. Thinking to herself, 'I really needed to find the Goblin King and ask what was going on and to send her back aboveground. Even though, she felt quite exhilarated being in the underground and living a dream she had always wished for, but she knew she need to get back to her reality. Walking over to the nearest mirror, she took a glance at herself and had to take a second look. She looked horrible her face was smeared with dirt as was her jeans and shirt and her hair was wild half was down and the other half was still up. Her shirt was torn quite low on her chest showing just the upper curve of her breast and bra. Ann decided before she went looking for someone she had to get a little decent looking. So she picked up the hairbrush she saw laying on the vanity and took all her hair down and brushed it straight until it was shining and pulled some back out of her face with a ponytail holder she had and then found a bowel of water on another table to the side and washed her face and arms. Then she took a small towel that was on the table dampened it and scrubbed at the dirt on her shirt and jeans getting it to look half way decent she decided it was time to find the Goblin King.

Stepping cautiously out the bedroom door she had been in, Ann look up and down the hall and saw no one so she decided to go to the left of her bedroom to see where it would lead to. She passed door after door after door not seeing a soul, so that she could ask where to find the King or anyone for that matter. Just as Ann was about to give up a small little creature in what looked to be a maid uniform came out of a nearby room and saw the girl coming towards her. Ann asked, "Excuse me, but I seemed to be lost could you tell me where I can find the Goblin King." "Oh yes!! Oh yes!! His majesty in his study ….he is doing lots of work best not to disturb." the little goblin answered. "Oh please I must speak with him …I really need to get home and I don't even really know where I am", Ann exclaimed as she lied to the goblin knowing very well she was in the Goblin Castle. "Oh all righty, but don't say I didn't warn you….he doesn't like to be disturbed…." the goblin exclaimed. Ann smiled to herself, 'She always did know how to talk someone into doing something they didn't want to' she thought as she followed the goblin down the hall.

Finally stopping at a very big wooden door, the goblin gestured to Ann to knock and then as she did the goblin maid was already scurrying away down the hall and out of site. Ann shrugged and knock a second time because she received no answer then she hear a very angry and curt voice say "Come in." Ann hesitantly opened the heavy door walked into the dimly light room. The first thing she noticed was the Goblin King bend over what looked to be a very boring but long document. Not evening looking up to see who came in he curtly said, "I told you I was not to be disturbed." "I am truly sorry to disturb you but I really need to know how I got here and how do I get back", Ann sarcastically asked.

Jareth looked up from the document he had be reading when he heard a woman's voice instead of one of his minions. See the woman quite aggravated it seemed, he smiled as he looked upon the woman she managed to make herself presentable it would seem and it surprised him that she sought him out instead of him having to find her. The woman had a very strong will it seems making her all the more attractive to him. "Well my dear, I believe you have already been told you are in the underground and more specifically you are in my home and I don't know why you are here. I was going to ask you that question when you awoke from your little fainting spell," the Goblin King tauntingly said. Ann was furious now, "Little fainting spell I will have you know I had just have a very hard week first with my favorite singer passing away, then these huge creatures trying to get me along with an elf and then finding out that the underground and all the creatures were real includes a very obnoxious and infuriating King was also real. I believe my so called little fainting spell was just fine considering the stress I have been through", Ann angrily exclaimed. Jareth trying to keep his temper from flaring thought 'who the hell did this woman think she was coming in his study and yell and screaming after he saved the twits life and brought her back so she could be safe from harm'. Then he noticed that she was quite flustered and out of breath. He masked his expression and looked back at the woman. "Look I can see how you could be upset but that gives you no right to come barging into my study after I could've left you with the trolls and the elfin to do with…..as ", Jareth was interrupted with a knock at the door. "Oh for pity sake," Jareth exclaimed "Come in" Looking to the door, Ann saw a beautiful blue eyed blond female walk into the room. Jareth not looking very happy about the interruption, "Selina you know I am working and that I would join you for dinner tonight why the interruption," Jareth asked.

Selina looked over to the woman standing to her left near Jareth's desk looking as if she could kill something then quickly glancing back at Jareth and explained, "Well I am truly sorry to interrupt my dear but I was just worried about you working so much…since you have come back and thought I could help you with something. Jareth looking to Selina almost unbelievingly decided to just let it go. Then noticed Selina looking at Ann almost jealously, "Who are you my dear I don't believe we have met," Selina asked in a very twisted but sweet tone. Ann noticed the woman annoyance at her being in there was about to reply. "She is of no concern to you Selina. She is a temporary guest in the castle and will not be staying for long," Jareth said curtly. "But my dear she looks almost human I mean human aren't allowed in the underground with out permission and…."That is enough Selina I told you she was not of your concern and you are not to question me," Jareth stated angrily as he walked over to Selina. Selina seeing she had angered Jareth decided perhaps it was time for her to leave. "I am sorry," she looked at Jareth plienly "I will let you get back to work," Selina said and curtsied and left the room before Jareth could say anything else. Letting out a sigh of relief that one woman was taken care of now it only leaves one left. He looked over to Ann and noticed she wasn't paying any attention to him but was looking to the picture of his parents hanging on the left wall. "Look," Jareth said, "I don't know why you are here but until I can clear this up with the council I can't let you leave and you would be safer under my protection" Jareth stated. Ann looked back to the King and noticed he was trying to talk calmly to her and even though it wasn't what she wanted to hear she decided to try and cooperate with the situation. Jareth saw Ann let out a sigh and hung her shoulders "Alright I guess I have to agree with what you say but what am I to do here I don't now anyone and I don't even have a change of cloths", Ann calmly stated as she waved to her attire. Jareth smiled a little at the way she looked so poorly at the attire she was weary it reminded him of a child trying to get a parent to do something they didn't want to. "Do not worry about it while you are under my care you will have cloths and a roof over your head as far as knowing anyone I don't think I can help you there. I do have an assistant and I also have a lot of guest come through you could talk with them if you like but, Jareth said hesitantly, "I would not tell them too much just your name and that you are a guest in my home would be fine do not go into too much detail, Jareth notice Ann getting a little unhappy with that, He added, "this is for your own protection. Ann decided this conversation was getting old…Ann shrugged, "Fine." As Ann turned to leave she turned back around, "May I ask who are the people in the picture?" "They are my parents", Jareth stated, "Why do you ask?" Ann shrugged again, "I don't know but they look very familiar for some reason…. But that is impossible", Ann said as she walked out of the room.

Only to come face to face with the blond Fae "oh excuse me", Ann said. The woman nearly came unglued, "Listen you I don't know who you are but just to let you in on something I am Jareth's fiancé and I don't need you causing problems between us", Selina said angrily, "and to let you know there are many dangers in the underground and people come up missing everyday, Selina smiled mischievously, "I would take care if I were you" , Selina stated as she walked away.
