Makes No Sense At All (Labyrinth) - Ch 13 Chapter 13 -It's just another chance to roll the dice and play the game One moment Sarah had been gripping the front of Jareth's silky shirt, his arms securely around her waist and the next she was grasped by a being that oozed darkness. Even his eyes were almost black. He was grinning almost maniacally down at her. She couldn't struggle, for fear she would fall into nothingness or possibly a very messy, fatal landing. Even if she managed to come out of the landing alive, she couldn't guarantee where she was. Before she had much more time to panic about what she could possibly do, she heard a snarl that sounded like Jareth. She felt other gloved hands start to encircle her and her captor's arms loosened on her. But before she could be snatched back, the dark being mumbled some unfamiliar words, waved his hand, and she was adrift in space and time, or so she guessed. Finally making an ungraceful landing in a pile of sand a moment later. Unfortunately she was unconscious when she finally made it to her destination. When she came to she was laying in sand and was sweating like crazy. After struggling up, disoriented, and getting sand in unmentionable places; she looked around. Her mouth dropped open at the sight before her, an actual pyramid. "What the fuck? Am I in Egypt now?!" she muttered in panic to herself,"Damn magic!" She slowly started walking around it, brushing the sand off as best she could. It was gigantic, her neck craning up to take it all in. She put up a hand to block out the glare of the sun as she slowly walked away from her involuntary napping spot. When she rounded the corner nearest to her, she gasped. In front of her was a giant Sphinx, seeming to be drowsing in the lazy, what she assumed was afternoon, heat. One never knew with the Labyrinth what time it was. She tried to back away noiselessly, not wanting to confront this creature, but it was too late. She got a few steps before it cracked one eye,"Where are you going Champion? You must stay to play." It opened the other eye and stood up, stretching. Sarah still kept backing up, afraid for her life with those words. "Wha..what do you mean?" It looked down at her from its great height. "You must answer my riddle to continue on. It is the only way out of here. Otherwise you shall be stranded here and perish." It grinned at the prospect. She had stopped at its reply, glancing around she realized it must be right. She saw nothing but sand for miles. In this blistering sun without water, she wouldn't last long. "Ok," she crossed her arms and gave a steely glare at the overgrown cat-like creature,"Give me your best shot." She was good at riddles and she loved to write, she could do this. The Spinx was surprised at her backbone, most cowered in fear. It had a limitless fount of riddles to choose from and its keen mind quickly perused its selection, before choosing one that is never guessed. Smirking, it gave its challenge,"Think carefully on this, as there are no second chances. Tell me what the hand sows and the eyes harvest?" Sarah's brow creased in thought. 'A painting? Definitely not seeds. ' The minutes ticked by, discarding one answer after another. Her heart started beating faster as she was afraid this was her end. She silently screamed 'Jareth! I'm supposed to be safe in your damned Labyrinth!' But that didn't help. Whatever happened in the air had severed her from him to where he couldn't detect her. Otherwise she was sure he would've been here long ago. She was even more on her own than her last trip in the Underground. The Spinx was inspecting its nails, sure the girl was its next meal. It grinned down from its great height at her, the girl spaced out, her mind most likely turning to liquid at the conundrum she was faced with. ----- Jareth felt the touch of evil the second Sarah was pulled from his grasp. How someone had managed to circumvent his magic, he wasn't sure. He had a suspicion it was the being who had put that spell on her. Breaking it angered them, as he knew it would. But how they had infiltrated his Labyrinth, put him into a rage. He had tried to pull Sarah back, but he was again intervened and Sarah disappeared altogether. He had transported back to the castle and had been trying to find her in his crystal balls. Each one smashing against the wall when it didn't yield what he willed, then he would conjure another. Something was blocking his connection with her and his anger stemmed from his helplessness to protect her. Also what fool would dare go against the Goblin King? He swore he vaguely heard her voice screaming screamed 'Jareth! I'm supposed to be safe in your damned Labyrinth!' but didn't know if it was really her or just wishful thinking. However it did sound like something she would say, especially with the temper behind it. Only a hint of fear. He focused on that thread, trying to follow it back to its source. Another crystal met its fate against the tower wall a moment later. ----- The hidden being with the dark eyes, laughed into the image of Jareth. Relishing the helplessness of the supposedly Great Goblin King. It was the sweetest treat. As for the girl, it was disappointing that he had lost her from his grasp. She had landed in a place with only one exit and few ever survived. If he couldn't have her, the next best thing was to enjoy the quagmire she was in as she desperately tried to think of the answer to the almost impossible riddle. One way or the other, whether it be with him or in death, as long as Jareth was without her, all was going according to plan. She was far more important to Jareth than even he knew. Time ticked on for both halves of a couple that might never be. ------ Copyright 2017 *Lyric is from "Twisted & Wicked" - Neverwake I sent an Angel to watch over you last night, it returned in a hurry. I asked why, it said "Angels can't watch porn." Thanks for fucking traumatizing my fucking Angel! Don't bother trying to figure me out. Not even the little voices in my head understand me. It's pointless! |
