"I wish the goblins would just take you away right now," were the words that he yelled at me as I walked away from him with my eyes filled with the tears of knowing the truth. That I wasn't loved or belonged here in this world when I looked up from my feet I saw him. Not the goblins that were around us but him and his mismatched eyes. I felt calmed by those eyes as I smiled through my tears at him.

I sat outside reading the "Labyrinth" under a tree in the park as a barn owl came by. I looked up from my red hair seeing the owl as I pushed my glasses up smiling. I placed my book into the pocket of my small black leather bag as I stood up walking slowly over to the stone post that the owl stood on. I gave a gentle smile with my glistening almost black eyes smiled threw my red hair barrier.

"Hello barn owl. You remind me of the owl in the Labyrinth so can I call you Jareth then," I asked the barn owl with my hand held out to show I wasn't a threat. The owl tilted his head to the side and then nipped at my finger holding it once I got close to him. I giggled at him as I stood there smiling. I felt the wind as it cut threw my black poet shirt and vest that pulled it in and close to my body making the end and collar float in the air like my sleeves. I then said to the barn owl who I named Jareth as I took a step back bowing, "Well~ Goblin King if it is you I must be going now. I need to get back home." I turned around as I started on my way back home smiling. I turned my ipod on as I started to play some music. I didn't realize that my new friend was following me home either I just grabbed my bike and started on my way back home. I started to sing to "Learn to be Lonely" as it started to play. To me it described me well even though I did have a boyfriend it still felt like I was alone. Though it didn't matter to me anymore since I found out he was cheating on me with another girl. I told him to meet me at the club. I laid my bike on its side as I walked up the steps to my house opening the door with my key as I took one earbud out of my ear and smiled.

"I'm home," I called out though I didn't get a response since my parents were working and my sister was probably sleeping with the baby so he wouldn't cry. I gave a sigh as I heard the pouring rain outside and walked up the steps to my room. I gave a soft smile as I open the door to my room as I took my shoes off and socks and moved to the window to see the barn owl there. I waved to him as I open it letting him in as he fly on to my bed laying there in the soft blankets. I giggled as I grabbed my towel softly patted his feathers as he screeched at me some. He soon quiet down though as he realized I was just drying him off. I then ran a finger from his head down his back feeling his feathers smoothly under it. I smiled at him as I got off the bed plugging my ipod into a speaker as I played "The Moonlight Sonata" enjoying the lyrics. I then went to my dresser pulling the vest off and picking out a pair of shorts to change out of my tight blue jeans. I walked over to my bathroom opening the door and leaving it open as I switched into black shorts. I heard the baby cry and walked out of my room as I told Jareth to stay there as I went to my sister's room. I saw Beth sit there trying to make Sam stop crying but couldn't.

"Help me out Violet he won't stop crying," she said whining some.

"Alright relax," I told her lifting Max into my arms and leaving the room. I started to sing to him.

'There is place called the labyrinth

Before the Goblin city

And pass to the Goblin King's Castle~

Filled of dead ends and turns

Passages that go on forever never ending

Can you make sense of it

Can you break threw it

Can you~ Can you~~

Do you see the walls move

The door that lies and tells the truth

Or the creatures that take their limbs apart

But can you complete the biggest task of all

And never take things for granted anymore in your life

To show the Goblin King love again~~'

I finished the song to see Max smile and clap his hands as I laid him in his crib. I pulled the blanket close to his face and gave him his bear as he laid there falling off to sleep. I gave him a smile as I turned to leave but notice Jareth perched on a shelf in the room. I walked over to him as he tilted his head at me.

"I came up with the song on my own Goblin King. I feel bad that you were left heartbroken by Sarah," I told him as I heard the thunder then saw lightening. I looked back at Jareth to see he looked slightly hurt. I walked back over to him as I kissed his forehead and rubbed two fingers down the side of his wing. This seemed to please him as he relaxed. I smiled as I started to my room.

"You might want to come along if you don't want my sister to find you," I told him as I got to the door. I heard wings flutter then the weight of him sitting on my shoulder. I giggled as I walked down the hallway to my room. The door was still open as I walked thru the doorway and closed the door behind me with a small click. He flew from my shoulder to the window sill sitting there. I heard my ipod start to play "The Angel of Music" I started to sing along as I laid there on my bed. I pulled a blanket over me somewhat as I stared at Jareth. He looked at me briefly and as I reached my hand out to touch him he flew away. I watched him leave with a sigh as I lie there.

Jareth's POV

I couldn't take it anymore as I flew away from her and down to a nearby alleyway as I changed back into my normal form.

"No not again… I can't let her get to me like Sarah… but she is different from her though. So different and kind no I can't go back down this path again I shouldn't but she…," I said to myself sliding down the brick wall sitting there. I rubbed my eyes trying to get her smiling face out of my mind but couldn't. I sighed turning myself back into an owl as I flew back to her landing on the roof as I changed back listening to her talk to her sister.

"Are you really going to tell him tonight Violet," I heard the other sister ask. Tell him what? That she loves him? Oh I hope not oh gods please don't let it be that. Wait why do I care though? I shouldn't care about something like that…

"Yeah this is the last time I'm going to let him treat me like I'm just another girl like the other girls he dated in the past. If he wanted that he should have just found someone that was blind," I heard Violet say. Her voice didn't hold venom in her words but a promise in what she said. I gave a sigh breathing again slightly happy. She then began to say again, "So I'm going to go to the club so look over Maxwell and I have a cd set up if he won't fall back asleep."

"Thanks Violet that's a big help," I heard her sister say. I changed back into my owl form as I flew into the tree waiting for when Diva goes to leave the house.

Violet's POV

It had turned into dusk as I went and changed my clothing. I placed on my leggings and took my mini black dress that was strapless dress, a black see threw scarf, with my gloves that went pass my elbow near my shoulder. I smiled as I took out a black choker necklace with some silver chains hanging from it as I clipped it around my neck. I gave a pleased smile to myself as I slipped on my black boots and grabbed my purse holding my book, ipod, cell phone, a tazer for safety, and keys. I stepped out glad it was a drizzly or sprinkle as I stepped into my friend's car smiling.

"Is tonight the night," she asked me.

"You bet every penny you put into your mustang it is sweety," I told her as she hugged me then started the car smiling widely.

We got to the club thirty minutes early as I was about to open the door another gloved hand came and open it. I looked up to see it was a guy, in his late twenties I guessed, with messy short blonde hair, mismatched blue and brown eyes, a slightly open white button up shirt, a leather jacket, and tight skinny black pants.

"Thank you," I told him as he gave a nod as if to tell me to go first. I walked in as my friend hugged me squealing.

"Did you see that guy maybe you can get a new boyfriend as well too~," she said. I giggled shaking my head.

"Nah~ I think he already has one. With that look and gentleman attitude he probably has girls bowing for him already," I told her as I sat at the small round table in the high chairs. Music was playing as most of the people were dancing to the upbeat music. I was enjoying the music and didn't order anything not trusting it. Then the guy I saw earlier open the door for me walking over to us. I gave a smile and waved to him.

"I'm going to go dance now," my friend said leaving me as he walked up to me. I rolled my eyes at her as I looked up at the man.

"Hello nice to see you again," I told him.

"The same goes for you as well my beautiful lady," he said taking my hand and kissing the knuckles. I found it sweet as I blushed some.

"It's Violet and may I ask what your name is," I asked tilting my head to the side.

"It's Jared now would you like to dance or are you waiting for someone else," he said smiling.

"I am waiting for someone but they can wait let's dance," I told him getting out of my chair as we started to walk to the dance floor. The song changed into something as I listen to the lyrics and rhythm. I swung my hips a certain way as I let him place his hands on them and I lifted my arms above my head. I did a small spin and he pulled me against his chest as my back hit his chest and my arms looped around the back of his head. I felt so alive at that moment as he kept his hands on my hips moving along with my hips. At one point I felt his hand trail up some on my dress as he trailed his hand further up and across my stomach some. We kept dancing like that and as the end of the song was coming he spun me around as he made me dip my back and hooked my leg around his waist. I giggled as he pulled me back up smirking. We continued to dance some more for a while till we stopped after awhile.

"That was fun I feel much better now thank you for dancing with me Jared," I told him smiling as I kissed his cheek.

"Violet! What do you think you're doing," I heard Erik say. I turned to him and gave a sigh. I watched his brown hair swish on his head some as his dark hazel eyes looked at me.

"I'm thanking him for dancing with me and Erik I'm glad you got here finally I need to talk to you," I told him walking over to him.

"Violet can we meet again later," I heard Jared ask me. I turned to him smiling.

"Sure meet me outside in a few," I told him as I turned back to Erik.

"What is it you want to talk about Violet," Erik asked me still fuming as he placed his arm around my waist. I pulled away as I stared at him. He looked confused at me as he tried to pull me back into a kiss but couldn't as I stepped away from him.

"I know you have been cheating on me Erik and I want to let you know that since you found somebody new that it was over. I hope it works out with you and Stacy since you can have sex with her. I'm happy for the both of you," I told him walking away as I took my purse and walked out of the club. I didn't stop to listen to him as the door closed and I felt something on my shoulders. I looked to see it was a leather jacket and looked up to see that Jared placed it on my shoulders and smiled.

"Can we go for a walk in the park please," I asked him he nodded as we started to the park.

We had been walking for sometime as we talked some or just stayed silent but I didn't mind it. I actually liked the silence with him there. Then after a while he said he had to go and I smiled as I let him go. I gave him his coat back as I continued to walk in the park. I heard footsteps as I was jerked by my arm and looked to see Erik there holding my arm.

"Damn it Violet you can't just walk away from me like that. I still like you so come on let's stay together," he said smiling at me with a slight drunk smell on him. He rubbed my side with his other hand but reached out to try to touch my chest but I slapped him with my purse as my book fell out of it. I walked over taking the book placing the book back into my purse.

"You know what since I can't have you and you seem to like that guy I'll make sure you don't see him. I don't care if this doesn't work or not but since you seem to be stuck in that stupid fairytale of yours. I wish the goblins would take you away right now," he yelled at me. I walked away from him with my eyes filled with the tears of knowing the truth that I was completely I wasn't loved or belonged here in this world when I looked up from my feet I saw him. Not the goblins that were around us but him and his mismatched eyes. I felt calmed by those eyes as I smiled through my tears at him. I knew I was standing in the presence of the Goblin King not Jared or the owl but the Goblin King himself.
