Kira was in her room after seeing the Phycologist, she was reading the book that her aunt gave her for about the fifth time today. As she was reading she could hear her sister and brother fighting on who gets the car of they date of the night. "God why can't I get away from them?" she asked herself as she turned on her iPod so that she could not hear anyone in her family yelling or talking.

The goblins, who had been chatting noisely, stopped for a moment as one of them shouted "QUIET!" They listened, hearing the voice of a young girl asking the emptiness why she couldn't get away from them. "She didn't say the words.." One of them mumbled, before the other shouted back, "Maybe she will!" So they waited, to see if the girl would say the words that would indeed get her away from whoever she was trying to get away from.

After the yelling and the talking got louder she finally had enough "Goblin King please take me away from this place" She said not really knowing if her words would work or not. Soon the lights in her room flicked and then when out she growled as she got off her bed to see if her lights were really off or not. Now knowing that they were she sighed and walked back over to her bed and layed face down on it.

The goblins gasped in surprise as the girl said the words. The next moment, the lights in her room flickered off. The whispering of the goblins could be heard throughout the room, their shadows creating frightening images on the walls. Then they jumped out from under her bed, dresser, from every corner of the room and tackled her.

The goblins let go of her as she was dumped on a hilltop, overlooking the labyrinth. The goblins, returned to the castle, went into the throne room to find their king. "Jareth! Jareth!" They cried in delight. The Goblin King, sitting in his throne, looked down at them in boredom. "What is it?" He asked. "We found the girl!" One of them yelled and instantly Jareth sat up. "Sarah?" He asked, before looking down at one of the crystals he had been juggling. Inside the crystal he saw a girl, but it was not Sarah. However, she resembled the woman who had forever changed his life, and his Labyrinth. Jareth decided to go and take a better look at this girl.
He appeared behind her, a gust of wind blowing her short hair about. A large grandfather clock appeared in front of the girl, with 13 hours on it, instead of the usual 12.

Kira sighed and started dusting herself off she she felt the wind, looking up she saw the grandfather clock it looked just like the one in the book that she was reading back home, moving closer to the clock she studied it a little more. "It looks so familiar, why is that?" She asked herself as she brushed the bangs in her face to be behind her ear.

Jareth watched in silence as the girl dusted herself off before noticing the clock and studying it more closely, asking herself why it looked so familiar. Jareth as a matter of fact, was asking himself why this girl seemed to resemble Sarah in the slightest way possible. "Have you been here before, prehaps? Solved my labyrinth in a passed life?" He asked, speaking up as he took a step forward, towards the girl.

Kira jumped a little as she heard someone talking, she turned around to see Jareth. Playing it cool she smiled "Maybe I have." She said looking back at the clock, s**t what I'm i going to do aunt Sarah told me not to say any thing that I thought that might being me here She thought as she was pulling at the end of her shirt. "So tell me why did your goblins bring me here?" She asked him still looking at the clock.

He kept his calm, cool and collected character as his mind raced to try and figure out why and how this girl had gotten here. It was clear that his goblins had brought her, but why? She was not the only one to have 'said the words'. So why did his goblins seem to favor this girl? Yet all the same, here she was now, and she seemed to know something about his world, based on her body language and seemingly calm attitude. Jareth decided that he would let this girl into his labyrinth, and prehaps he would find out why she was here when she failed to solve his labyrinth. After all, only one person-- a girl had ever solved his labyrinth, Sarah. "To see if you could solve my labyrinth. But you don't have to, Kira.." He said in a cool tone as he took out a crysal from behind his back. "This is one of my crystals, a gift. And if you turn it this way.." He said as he began to move the crystal around his arms, as if it were a magic trick, before bringing it back into his hands and showing it to her. "It will show you your dreams. Do you want it?" He said, pausing for a moment to let her think. "And forget about this, and solving my labyrinth and just go home."

"I know all about your crystals my aunt told me about them so don't think that they will work on me like they did on her." Kira told him as she looked up at him, then looking behind his she saw the labyrinth she smirked but trying her bast to hid it, she could tell that it was not working. "What if I don't want to go home?" She asked him. The only thing that she could or want to do back home was stay inside and read or play some games.

Jareth lowered his hand, and stared down at her, tilting his head to the side slightly. "And what? Remain here, in my world?" He said, motioning to the labyrinth and roaming land behind him. "Surely after hearing so much from your aunt you should know that no mortal can live here." He said, curious to see exactly how much she did know. Jareth began to circle her, never breaking eye contact with her. "This world is not the same as when your aunt came here, Kira."

"Yes but neither is my world for the last time you were there. And I would think you would know how my home life is" Kira was not braking eye contact wit him either, she wanted to see what he would do if he knew who her aunt was. "I guess that I don't have to tell you who my aunt is do I?" She asked him as she folded her arms over her chest. I wander what Jareth would do if I got to the centaur of the goblin city she thought as the wind blow a little.


He raised in eyebrow in question at her comment that her world was not the same as when he was last there. Of course, she probably didn't know that Jareth sometimes would look into one of his crystals to see the now much older Sarah, and how she was doing. But then again, no, he had not literally gone back to her world since Sarah's time. "Now why would you ask something like that?" He asked, stopping in front of her. "I know that your aunt came through this labyrinth, and in the end made a choice that changed her life. My labyrinth may have helped your aunt, but I don't see why I should waste my time giving you a chance to solve it." He said as he walked past her, whispering those words in her ear as he made his way over to the grandfather clock.

Kira sighed as she looked over at him. "You don't have to let me solve but then again I know no way to get back to my world" She said as she slowly started to make her way down to the labyrinth not really caring if he had more to say or not. She started humming a song that aunt Sarah would sing to her when she was over at her house when her parents were out of the night; it was a lovely song that when ever she heard it she would stop what she was doing and just listen to it.

Jareth did not follow after her, but began to turn away, prepared to leave her to her fate when he heard her began to hum. It was a song he knew, but how did she know it? (I'm guessing its either 'As the World Falls Down' or 'Within You'? Please let me know.) He decided to let Kira find her own way in his world, and maybe, just maybe, she would make it far enough into the labyrinth. "Let the games begin." He said as he faded into the air, along with the clock, which began ticking.
