Lost and Lonely

Aleixa's P.O.V

Hades grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hall into a bedroom.

"Here's your room enjoy your stay." He shoved me in, closing and bolting the door. I looked around. This room was blacker than black, and too Victorian for me. I slumped on the dusty bed, and watched as a spider crawled away.

"Where are you Jareth?"

Jareth's P.O.V

I stumbled over a pile of bones, cursing as I did so.

"First I'll rip every one of his limb s out and feed them to his hounds." I growled, kicking a skull across the ground. "Then tear out his puny and cold heart and shove it up his a-"

"Halt." A deep voice grumbled. I looked in disgust as a giant rock like creature stopped in front of me.

"Move." I hissed.

"Who dares trespass in the Underworld?" It asked, in it's rumbling voice. Rolling my eyes I shifted the weight to my left foot, leaning.

"Do you not know who I am?" I scoffed, trying to walk around. It stepped in front again. "I'm here to take back what is rightfully mine." I scowled. Again, as I moved, it stopped in front of me.

"No one shall pass." It rumbled.

"I shall." I threw a crystal, watching as it sliced through the rock beast, cutting it in two. "Sionara." I walked over it, kicking the head like the pebble it was. Or should be. I could see the castle was still a ways away.

"She better not eat anything while I'm running this place." I paused. "Now I know what my runners feel like." I sneered. "I'm going after something worth it there's no need to sympathize for them." I sped up my pace and continued.

Aleixa's P.O.V

I toyed around with this old metal thing, and banged it against a table. The door flew open, and some weird ghost like thing flew over.

"Your still not dressed?" It scoffed. "GEEZ!"

"Dressed." I looked down. I sure as hell wasn't naked.

"In your dining dress." It held up a sleezy black candy dress and a pair of stilettos.

"Aw hell no!" I yelled, backing up, "No way I'm wearing that peverted torture device!"

"Don't go against it just put the damn thing on." It yelled, throwing the dress at me. I threw it on the bed, revolted.

"How dare he!"

"Put it on!" I heard Hades voice echo. I paused, and made a fist.

"Are you watching me?" Silence.

"No?"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Then how did you know I didn't wanna wear it?" Silence.

"Shutup and undress."

"Not with you watching I'm not!" I folded my arms and turned to the wall. Hades voice sighed.

"Fine. Gosh, I shall depart but you will get dressed." I heard complete silence and the air stood still. Cautiously, I began to undress, being as quick as possible to throw the dress on.

"Damn pervert." I opened the door and saw Persephone standing there.

"Listen," She said quietly, "I overheard one of Hades conversations with a guard. Jareth is here." My ears picked up and listened. "Hades is doing everything he can to stop him." She paused. "So don't eat anything." I nodded.

"Alright." I stopped for a second. "But do you think Jareth will get here in time?"

"Probably." Persephone sighed, "If he loves you enough." I paused and shook my head of the bad thoughts, and continued forward.

Jareth's P.O.V

I stumbled into something big and fluffly. I felt around a little more, and too my realization, noticed it was dog fur. Looking up, I smelled flesh and blood.

"Hullo, Cerbrurus." I mumbled. Cerburus just growled, each head snapping it's teeth. I rolled my eyes, and conjured up a crystal. It turned into a bone, a giant one for that matter, and I whistled.

"Want it?" I asked, tauntingly. Cerburus panted from each head and wagged it's snake tail. I climbed on his back and threw it towards the castle. He reeled and ran off towards it.

"See you soon Hades." I grinned, and leaned back.

Aleixa's P.O.V

I sat at the dinner table, in that sleezy black dress and heels.

"You pervert." I muttered when he notcied I was in it, instead of my normal clothes.

"Ravishing." Is all Hades said before leading me to the dining room. So there I sat, angered and pissy, forcing myself not to eat. Pershephone sat next to me, glancing every few seconds I didn't touch the food, as if to say 'good job.' She had to eat, seeing she was staying anyways. Hades looked over at me.

"Why aren't you eating?" He raised a brow, suspicious.

"Not hungry in the least bit." I grumbled and pushed the plate away.

"I can hear your stomache from over there." Hades growled. I looked down at my stomahce, as it ached and moaned, and slapped it.

"Hush." I looked at him. "No, that isn't my stomache. That's my pet dinosaur. Gerald." I looked away from the table. Hades coughed, obviously weirded out.

"At least eat." Hades pleaded. I shook my head.

"My appitite is weary." I sighed, fanning myself.

"If you don't eat I will do something so inhuman you will be sorry." Hades grimaced. 'Jareth hurry up.' I thought looking at the hellhound, which was sniffing for crumbs under the table. That's when it hit me. Persephone must have known what I was thinking, because she immediately got up and screamed at the top of her lungs. Hades jumped and looked at her in shock. She suddenly fainted. I looked at her, confused and shocked. Hades bolted from his chair, and helped her up.

"I need….It's all so green." She mumbled looking woozily around. "Who are you?" She asked Hades, giggling.

"Oh Dear." He said, looking absolutely confused. He looked at her, then me, then her again. "I'll bring Persephone to her room. When I come back you better have eaten all that." He said sternly before disappearing. I quickly picked up the plate and held it near the hellhound. It sniffed around and started eating up the food.

"Good boy." I said, coaxing it and offering more.

"Nice try." Hades said, leaning against the wall. I looked up at him, mortified.

"I said I wasn't hungry." I mumbled. "But your dog was." Hades nodded, stroding over. I stood up, backing away.

"I understand why your not eating." He grinned. "But you think Jareth will get here in time?"

"Yeah." I scoffed. "He has all the time in the world. This aint no Labyrinth." Hades froze, then glared.

"Well, the second you eat something, time is up." He grabbed a piece of bread. "And eat you will."

"Not hungry." I yelled at him. He grabbed my arm, and shoved me to the wall. I hit a table, knocking over some pictures. Random enough, right?

"Yes you are." He said, holding me down. "Open wide." I clamped my mouth shut and struggled to get out from his grip. I wanted to scream, but kept my mouth shut.

Jareth's P.O.V

Cerburus slowed down when he was the bone lying in front of the gates. I hopped off, patting his leg.

"Good." I walked over to the gates.

"You shall not pass." The gaurds said, holding up weapons.

"I think I will." I threw a crystal, which turned into two giant wolves. They attacked the guards, ripping them to shreds. I stepped past the chaotic mess and opened the door. I could hear Hades yelling.

"You will eat it!" I heard a loud groan and a bang. "Kicking is unnecaptable!" Another groan. "That was my special area! Play dirty will you? So will I." I started running towards the sounds. I turned into the dining room, where I saw Hades standing there, trying to shove a roll of bread down Aleixa's throat. She was strapped down to the table by snakes, and biting her lip. Hades grabbed her neck and began strangling her.

"Eat it!" He yelled, as she shook her head. I saw her body start to go limp and her face bright purple. "Don't make me kill you!" My face burned with anger and I felt my hands clench into fists.

"I suggest you unhand her this instant you sniveling twit." I yelled, walking up to him. Hades looked up at me, shocked.

"Jareth!" He let go of Lex, and turned to me. "How did you-" I hit him in the face, and grabbed his neck.

"How dare you!" I sneered at him. "You take my Lex, force her to wear that revolting outfit," I paused, "Although it's a nice touch." Hades nodded. "And then strangle her?" I glared, bringing my face closer. "Bad Idea." I jabbed him in the stomache with the crop and kicked him in his "Special Spot."

"Lordy!" He said, before falling to the ground in pain. I kicked him again and sped to the table. The snakes slithered away, leaving Lex on the table, insomnious and breathless. I lifted her from the table and carried her out the room.

"And Hades." He looked up, pained and in anguish. "Touch her again and I'll see that your ripped to shreds." He nodded, biting his lower lip until it bled. I turned away and transported us into the castle.

"Don't worry Love," I cooed, carrying her to her room, "When you wake things shall be normal again." I gently placed her on her bed and touched the fingerprints that were left on her neck. They were like burn marks, swelling and bubbling. I ran my fingers over them, and watched them heal.

"You belong to me," I whispered in her ear, as she slept, "you precious, precious thing." Putting a hand to her face and stroking it, I whispered, "Tommorow, you shall know how much I deeply care about." Chuckling I added, "What a great way it will be to celebrate your return."

Aleixa's P.O.V

My neck throbbed as I sat up in bed. Along with my head. I rubbed the back of my neck, and tried to remember the events from the day before.

"Oh yeah," I coughed, "I was kidnapped, and strangled." That's when I realized I wasn't in the dusty black bedroom in the Underworld. I was in my bedroom, back in the Labyrinth. No longer was I strapped to a table by snakes and getting force fed bread. I was home.

"Oh my freaking goblins!" I exclaimed, bouncing off the bed and onto the floor. I ran into the closet and changed quickly, so quick that I don't even remember what I wore. My sneakers, I think they were sneakers, screeched as I slid down the hallway, running into the throne room. I skidded to a halt and looked around, surprised by the strange silence. The only one besides me in the room was Hoggle. He stood there, sheepishly, playing with his hat and twisting it in his beefy hands.

"Hoggle!" I ran over hugging him.

"Ah! What the-" He laughed. I released him and backed a fewt steps away, kneeling.

"Where is everbody?" I asked, rubbing my hands together, so excited that I could bareley sit still. Hoggle just looked at me and grabbed my hand, tugging me towards the dining room.

"Just come with me." He mumbled, hobbling as he led me down, and I tried skipping, but it failed.

"Okie dokie." I gave a thumbs up and hummed, ABC, 123, as we made our way down. Hoggle pushed open the door and I saw that everyone, the goblins, faeries, satyrs, fiery's, dwarves, and every other creature that roamed the Labyrinth, except the dangerous ones, were there. Jareth stood in the center of them all, wearing the outfit from the day we met.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked, laughing as all of them pushed me towards Jareth. He held a small blue box in his hand, and a crystal in the other.

"Oh, they're waiting." He said, smirking.

"For what?" No sooner than I said that, Jareth extened the arm holding the crystal, and it floated in front of us. He took my hand and placed it on the crystal. It began to glow with an array of glorious colors and I felt a small tingling sensation as it hit me. He took the other hand, and got down on his knee, extending the box which he held.

"Aleixa," Jareth smiled, deeply and let out a nervous sigh, "Will you become my queen, the Queen of the Underground?"

Bet you weren't expecting any of that till later chapters eh'? Does Lex say yes or no? Does she say anything at all? Is this too good to be true? How does she really feel? And what the hell is a goblin wedding like? Will there even be one? Ohhh so many questions that you have to solve yourself mwahahahahahah! Sorry guys...it's too much fun leaving cliffhangers and the suspense dangling in front of your noses. *evil grin*

Jareth and Hoggle are Jim Hensons

Hades and Persephone, along with Cerburus are part of Greek Mythology

Lex and random things are part of my sick and twisted imagination

P.s I don't know if I should start ending the story or if I should keep going? Cause I have an Idea that could keep it going for like ten more chapters. But Im not sure it will work. Help? Please?
