Jareth sat on his fur covered bed, throwing his cape off. He didn't care where it landed; he had too much on his mind.
The day had definitely been interesting.
The image of the blue eyed human flashed through his eyes, shaking the image out of his head he frowned. There was something interesting about her, but he couldn't place it. He wanted to know why; he needed to know.
There was a calling he had when around her that he has never had before, be it human or Fae. He had the feelings of possessiveness and something else when he looked at her. Never being one for having these emotions it was infuriating to him.
Not knowing.
Only wondering.
He liked to keep things in order, not knowing something wasn't a thing he liked. He was going to figure her out by the end of this game if it was the last thing he did.
Taking a deep breath he sighed, just as he closed his eyes he felt something from the labyrinth. His mismatched eyes narrowed, and hurried to the window.
The whole underground felt it; the feeling of completion.
She couldn't be her?
Could she?
Kagome groaned as she woke, her head felt heavy and throbbed from something she didn't know. It felt like something hit her in the head.
'You're awake'
Jumping up Kagome looked around to see she was underground in an octagon room with no doors. The walls were covered in drawings and writing she didn't recognize.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked, looking around the room, trying to find where the voice came from. It sounded so close but not at the same time.
'I am the Labyrinth'
Kagome sat there, brain blank, "You're alive!" This came out as a squeak, not prepared to have a maze that worse alive and could take, of all things!
'That is one way to look at it.'
Kagome could tell by the tone it was amused, she couldn't tell if it was male or female though. Then again, did a labyrinth have a gender?
'I have been waiting for you….for such a long long time.'
Furrowing her brow, she stood up, "Waiting for me? Why?" This place kept getting weirder and weirder by the minute. She really wanted to go home now; her life was already crazy enough.
'You will see soon….I don't want to spoil the surprise.'
"Surprise…..I don't want a surprise…all I want to do is go home!" Kagome yelled, eyes narrowed which soon turned to surprised eyes at the tone the labyrinth used next. A tone filled with anger.
'This is your home now….You will not make it to the castle in time…..I will make sure of it.' There was a couple second pause before it continued, 'Have fun finding your way, but one thing is sure. You will never leave here…'
The voice faded leaving Kagome alone and confused and wondering, 'Why am I so special? Can't I just me normal for once?'
With this last thought she sighed and started down the labyrinth to make her way deeper in and to the Castle. The first part looked like it was had too many turns. She chose a random way, hoping it would be the right way.
It felt like she was walking forever until she came upon a small silver, and alive, thing in her path.
"Are you alright?" Kagome picked up the little thing and her eyes widened as she got a closer look at the little creature. It looked like a…fairy!
The little fairy looked up at her, she had long silver hair that went past her knees, white shimmering skin which was covered with vines over the private areas, see-through clear wings that were the length of her body, and had bright silver eyes.
The fairy looked at Kagome with wide eyes before giving a small nod and smile lit her face.
"That's good…..I hope you don't' mind a question though." Kagome paused watching the fairy tilt her head to the side in curiosity, "do you know the way through the Labyrinth…or at least some of the way?"
The fairy gave a shake of her head, saying no.
Kagome sighed, "Thank you anyway." She went to put the fairy down but instead it flew and landed on her head.
Blinking Kagome gave a small laugh, "I guess this means you want to go with me then?" The fairy gave a nod and a bright smile on her face which Kagome returned.
Kagome sighed as she looked around, everything was the same. Every way she went it changed, it seemed like the Labyrinth wanted her to say where she was and not leave.
Glancing around, she stopped, running her hands over the Labyrinth walls. She could hear her, the labyrinth, shifting when she ran her fingers across the smooth stones.
"It seems you don't want me to find my way out...do you?" Kagome asked softly, as she gave another sigh and let her hand fall to her side. Feeling a tug on her hair Kagome looked at the little fairy, which gave her a small smile, but had a worried look on her face.
"Its fine...I'm fine." Kagome told the little fairy, and continued on her way down the turns of the labyrinth. She looked to the sky; it was orange, like how it was when she arrived.
"You know, little fairy, it is nice here, but I would like to find my way out of here." Kagome said, as she took another wrong turn. She had been doing so for the last five to ten minutes.
The fairy gave her a look, before pointing forward with her tiny finger from her little perch on Kagome's shoulder.
Sighing Kagome started forward, "Hai Hai." She continued on, listening for any movement in the labyrinth as she went.
So far the only life she had met in the Labyrinth was the labyrinth itself and the fairy. She hoped she would meet more, but at the same time she didn't.
Glancing around Kagome turned and took another left in the maze; so far she had taken mostly lefts. All the left turns showed more life than anything so she figured go towards the place where there is life. There was probably more life in the castle then the labyrinth….she hoped.
If she was wrong it wasn't like she couldn't come up with a new game plan, which she probably is going to have to come up with soon.
It wasn't too long before Kagome sighed, and took a seat on the ground her head against the wall, no matter what way she went she ended back at the same spot.
Looking down in her lap she saw her little fairy that had been with her from the beginning, but now there were more around her.
"Why are you following me?" Kagome whispered to them, they just gave her smiles and flew around her and sat beside her or on her. Looking up Kagome sighed, "I guess none of you are going to answer me..."
Today wasn't her day. First her mother wished her away, now she was running the Labyrinth for her freedom. The Labyrinth, she was running, happened to be alive and didn't want her to leave, along with the fairies that seemed to follow her around everywhere.
'A little brake won't hurt me' Kagome thought as she thought back to her time at home. She really shouldn't have made her mom so mad. She shouldn't have been so disobedient.
Feeling something touch her face Kagome smiled at the fairy that was fluttering by her face that had a hand on her cheek, worry was in her eyes.
"I'm fine." Kagome told the fairy, it seemed like they had a connection to her. Seeing them smile at her one put her hand on her neck and opened her mouth. Kagome heard something but didn't know what. The fairy did it again then pointed at her.
Something clicked in her head, "Sing?" Kagome asked, and the little fairies around her buzzed in excitement, the fairy pointed at Kagome who looked at them wide eyed, "You want me to sing?"
All the little fairies nodded, as Kagome looked at them wondering why they would want her to do that. Kagome thought for a moment. She didn't really remember any songs; there was the one she remembered from somewhere. Her grandmother used to sing it for her. She said it was a song for the 'chosen one', whatever that meant.
"All right. I don't understand why you want me to sing...but I guess it wouldn't hurt." Kagome grumbled as she thought about the lyrics.
Sighing Kagome opened her eyes, and started to hum. The humming was soft and slow; it carried through the labyrinth for all to hear her, the soft and sad music catching everyone's attention.
Angel white of labyrinth blue
Do you see me as I see you?
Soft darkened eyes
haunted by dreamless sleep
Is it your ghost I see in the mirror?
Reach out to touch me
dearest dream of mine
Open your eyes, say you're alright
The glass shatters at the softest touch
Is there a soul beyond the shards?
The goblins had stopped what they were doing to listen to the sound of the voice as did all the other subjects of the Goblin Kingdom. It floated through every corner till it reached the King himself who was looking in his crystal.
Warm tears sting my eyes
As all of these sweet memories
flood back to me
Reminiscing now
The sun will set beyond
the cruel mountain range
I'll still be here
(it's dark now without your light)
Begging your heart to beat
(sweet defiled angel, open your eyes)
My existence is not the same
(believe in me)
Without you here...
(believe that I love you)
He continued to look in the crystal, and he sighed, "I wonder if what I felt was right." He murmured to himself as he listened to the song float everywhere. If what he felt when she walked into the labyrinth was true...the game they were playing could change.
You shut your eyes
and gave in to that light
A beauty frozen in eternal night
just when I realized the
error of my ways
you slipped between my fingertips
I was a fool, I was stuck in such bliss
Wish I could grant, you your first kiss
Sorrow only grows if I try to forget
you're an eternal part of me
Jareth watched threw the crystal as she sang, the fairies around her listening to her with their eyes closed. It seems things she kept doing was pointing her to be what he hoped for, for a long time.
His Queen had come.
A sweet lullaby
Clasping my fragile heart
and whispering your name
Soft embrace in my sleep
Is this a dream or is it
Yet another nightmare of thee
Don't let this end
(it's cold now without your touch)
Wait on the other side
(my beautiful angel, rest in peace)
And I will slumber deep
(just please don't let this die)
I'll see you soon..
Watching threw the crystal he watched, he couldn't let her win. She was the queen he had been waiting for. The labyrinth had finally chosen, this Kagome woman was to be his.
To be his Queen.
To be His Love.
She was going to be the Goblin Queen.
I'll see you soon…..
