Return to The Labyrinth (CLOSED)

Sarah

"Is that ALL you think about? Sex sex sex!?" Throwing her hands up in the air, she almost slapped that smug look right off Mira's face... Her palm itched to do so, her eyes though.

"Something is terribly wrong with you." She grumbled, her hand lowering as she whirled and almost stepped right on Hoggle.

"Hoggle?!" Wide eyed, she couldn't believe just whom she was seeing.

"It's Rowling, as in row. not roll.. Oh never mind!" She shrugged Mira off her back and moved to squat down, staring in curious wonderment. "How did you get here?" Hadn't he been freed of the Labyrinth?

She was getting more and more confused and it showed on her face.
 
"Well, thats not ALL I think about... I sometimes ponder the meaning of existance, and do you know what I come up with? SEX! Hey, if somethings 'terribly' wrong with me, then what does that say about YOU?" Mira shot back as she crossed her arms over her chest and gave Sarah a sullen look as she went up to Hoggle, shrugging her off. "Whatever, she still stole the whole idea from Neil Gaiman's Books of Magic."

The other Sarah shouldn't have caught him by surprise. He had seen more than his fair share of strange occurances here. Still, the one surprise of someone he had never thought to see again simply overwhelmed him that the second one didn't help matters any.

"What am I doing here? What am I doing HERE?" He looked at the one standing straight up, curiously at him and wondering. That same stupid stare when she first came into the Labrynth.

"I live here, I was born here. I am supposed to be here. The question is... what are you doing here? And why do you have a twin?"

The twin moved up beside her. Apparently all she thought about was sex. Hoggle didn't quite understand but the anger that radiated through him tended to disagree. What is the point of all that humping and bumping together anyway?

Took time and energy for him. Both important when collecting shinies. His hand went to the pocket on his side, fingers slowly sliding over the fabric.

"I have never heard of this Neil Gaiman. But I do not think his book of magic is in the Labrynth. There are very few books in here..."
 
Sarah Williams

"Ignore Mini Me, aka Mira. She's salivating from both lips." Sarah shot Mira a dirty little look, disgusted with a grown version of herself acting so unlady like.

"I am back here because once again I.." She sighed heavily, frustration welling up within her, making her wish she had something to punch. "I called upon the goblin king and let him take my nephew! There, I admitted to it." She wanted to tell Mira she was sorry for being so snappish, but couldn't. She wanted to hug Hoggle hello, but he didn't seem any happier to see her now as he had been then.

"So here I am again, in some other part of the labyrinth, making my way to the goblin city.. yadda yadda yadda.." She went to move forward and saw she stood at a cross roads.

"Well now which way?" There were no signs that were clear. One way said "Certain Danger!" and the right said, "GO NO FURTHER!" and ahead? You guessed it, "Turn Back!"

"This is all so vaguely familiar, but.. something is off." she looked head and saw nothing more than narrowed passages and more sheer rock walls. The same could be said for left and right options as well.. So toss a quarter and choose?

"Lets goooo.... Ummm" She pointed right, then her eyes went left where her body decided, since it was attached to the head, to follow the head and go left instead. "This way." She had no map, though she would've killed for one...

"Oh! Hoggle!?" She turned back to see the short.. gnome? Troll? what was he? Well he was shooting little daggers at her, "Um.. Unresolved issues?" She asked gently, grimacing as her dread grew as his gaze narrowed. "Look, I am sorry.. I just got caught up in school and home work and therapists, who I might say wanted to lock me up for even discussing you.." What was she to do now? She had upset so many of her friends by making herself forget them.
 
"You are a mean person," Hoggle said, stopping short when he heard himself say it. Had he... had that come from him? So many things he had wanted to say and do to this woman when he would finally meet her once again. Times when he simply wanted to hug her and thank her for being with him. Times when he wanted to tear her a new one simply for thinking he would ever stand for her.

And in the end? She ignored him. He was a problem that had simply swept under the rug.

"You use me... you use all of us. You got caught up in school and therapists? So what? What importance of those when you have friends? Or... are they new friends? Did they replace me? Did you therapist help you through the labrynth? Did your homework..."

He couldn't say it. He was so angry. Shaking now, his shoulders trembled. Why would he even think she could have an excuse for him? Why was he even bothering with this? Years of pent up frustration being blown right here and now.

He pointed left, walking down the path. It was easier if he walked. It helped to deal with everything she had done to him.

"I hope you can find me a therapist. I need to forget about you as well, Sarah. I need to be locked up for ever giving you more than a second thought."
 
Mira nodded at Hoggle when he told them there weren't many books in the Labyrinth, then stuck her tongue out at Sarah in retaliation for the comment about her. She watched as Sarah looked about obviously trying to figure which way to go, while Hoggle shot daggers at her with his large eyes. Sarah said his name and that's when it clicked for Mira. "Hoggle! The jewel obsessed dwarf! How's the family jewels, shortstuff?" Mira asked with a sly smile.

It was then he had his little outburst and started down the path to the left.

"Mean? Us? That little twirp, we aught to kiss him right down to the damn bog of eternal stench! In fact, thats just what I'm gonna do! Right NOW!" Mira stomped after Hoggle in a huff over Hoggle's harsh rejection, catching up to him in short order. It only took a small effort to catch him by the scruff of his shirt and turn him around to face her. "Come here you..." Mira growled, puckering her lips to plant a wet kiss right on his... Nose.
 
"Sarah!" Hoggle made a snuff about the whole thing and then fumbled backwards. He couldn't catch his footing, so instead he fell head over heels off the path and into fresh dirt.

He was just fine, but the sparkling glass, rocks, and other trinkets fell out of his pocket. Hoggle screamed when this happened, grabbing them up as quickly as his little hands would go.

He placed them back into his back. Every one. He searched the area until he was sure he had picked them all up.

He walked over to the Sarah... which one? The one who didn't look right. The one who seemed more interested in making Sarah mad. Mira? Was that her name?

"Mira," He said, staring at Sarah, but the wrong Sarah, "I'm sorry. It's hard for me to think anything other than nast and cold thoughts of you right now. You look exactly like an old friend of mine... one who I loved and trusted and helped get through this dirty dank dungeon only to save her brother. And then when she was done with me, she forgot about me because there were more important things than friendship."

He kissed Mira's nose, smiling at her.

"You are a shiny I would enjoy having," He said, and then hopped back on the trail.

"Well... are you coming or what? Sooner you're out of this Labrynth, sooner I don't have to think about you anymore."
 
Mira blinked, shrugging her shoulders as she glanced back at Sarah. "Guess I don't have the magic touch. Well, are you comming Sarah? It looks like Mr. Lollypop Guild is leading the way." She said as she followed along behind Hoggle.
 
Sarah

Totally baffled by the pair of them and their odd behavior she muttered, "Need to a get a room?" Annoyed she brushed past Hoggle and headed further along the trail.

"No one is making you come along, Hoggle. No one said you even had to be in the same zone I am in. There's several other routes you can take to get away from my horrible nasty mean selfish self!" She knew she was being unfair but didn't particularly care at the moment.

He was just as bad as everyone else had been towards her. All thinking she was insane, selfish, seeing things, purposely doing this or that to hurt them. She was so sick of judgments from those around her, and the years didn't lighten her out look on that issue.. So it seemed.

"You're also free to go else where too, Mira." Strides eating up the ground, she wove through the rocks faster and faster as her temper fueled her movements.
 
Hoggle stopped in his tracks at her voice. Was there even sympathy there, sorrow? No. It was just anger. She throws away an apology for her therapists and her homework and then gets angry at him?

She is angry at him?

He shook his head. No way. This wasn't happening. He refused to play this game once more with her.

"If that's what you want, fine with me. Good luck. The both of you," He paused, looking over at the Other Sarah, shaking his head.

"Should have picked a better person to copy."

He turnd left and began clammoring up a steep hill, making for the top. There were still more shinies to get for the day.
 
Sarah

“Hoggle?” She sighed, whined and then half crumpled under the weight of her actions. “Damn it.” She felt so damned small at that moment, things couldn’t possibly get any worse…

Ok they could! But still that was no excuse for her behavior.

“Hoggle, come back! I’m sorry!” She scrambled up the rocks and crap in her path, huffing as she barely reached the summit of crap hill.

“Don’t go Hoggle. I didn’t mean it!” She slid down a few feet, lost her balance and fell to her ass to slide the few more to Hoggle’s feet.

It smarted like hell, her ass would most likely have a few bruises for weeks to come but the price one pays for being a jackass.

Grabbing for his hand, she tugged him to a stop, “I know I screwed up. I’ve screwed up a lot over the years, and I’m sorry.” She searched his face, hoping he’d forgive her if nothing else. “I missed you all, I did. And when the shrink kept telling me I was seeing things and they wanted to medicate me or lock me away for it, I let you guys go to save my own skin…” What else could she say? It was pretty shallow and selfish as is, enough so to make her pale under her rose blush and eyes to water once again.
 
"Actually, she's not completely to blame, Hedgehog. I have to admit that her shrink really fueled my engine, so, yeah, I kinda nudged her toward giving you guys up in the hopes we could have scrumped a little. Heh, sorry." Mira added as she picked her way over the crumbling hill of junk with ease before comming to stand next to Sarah.

She gave Sarah a quick glance and sniffed her nose over how miserable she looked. "But you know, Heathrow, maybe you should lighten up a little and not be such a self centered twirp, cause she's here now, crying over you, although, for the life of me, I can't figure out why, I mean the two of you never even shared a propper kiss."
 
Sarah

She let go of Hoggle's hand and turned her glare on Mira.

"You're not helping at all right now. Not one single, solitary bit!" eyes shooting daggers at the likeness of herself, she couldn't believe this came from her!

"Is that ALL you think about? Screwing?" So perhaps the shrink had been hot, so what? He was calling her crazy, his eyes mocking her in that way he had, the light show of crows feet at his eyes every time she talked to him.

He had been laughing at her!

And Mira wanted to fuck him?! Talk about your S&M.

"Look, okay? This is not helping matters at all, and it certainly isn't helping Junior. So you two stay, argue, fuck if you like. I am going!" Throwing her hands up in defeat, she started back up the crumbling heap of crap to get back to the other side, yet again!

"I wash my hands of you. Just done with it!" She muttered, nearly stumbling over the remnants of a rocking chair, yet only managed to sink into the heap nearly to her knees.

"God this place is disgusting!" Struggling to detach herself before she was completely swallowed, she tried hard to ignore the others.
 
"You know... you're right," Hoggle said, after a long drawn out minute. He had to think it over. It had been a long time since he had dragged out the old memories of his adventures with Sarah. Nights when he longed over merely the thought of their time together, wondering and hoping that some day she might return.

Some day she might call for him.

And then he wallowed in himself when that day never came.

The Mirror fake Sara was absolutely right. They had never had a proper kiss. She had never done anything more than kiss him on the cheek.

"You never kissed me," He said, stomping back over to the main hill of the pile.

"You never even tried! Not a proper kiss. I helped you through thick and thin, and the most I get is 'I'm sorry I didn't believe in you?'"

He shook his head. The fake Sara had some good thoughts in her head.

"I want a kiss. A good proper kiss. And then... I'll take you to see the Goblin king."

He crossed his arms over his chest.

"You forgot about me, think you remember the way?"
 
Mira crossed her arms just under her breasts, lifting them to prominence as she wore a smug smirk on her face while Sarah ranted at her. Everything Mira had felt and wanted, even lusted over was all just a part of Sarah's psyche, a part that she was still not willing to accept. Mira nodded at the accusation that sex was all she thought about. After all, she was the physical manifestation of that part of Sarah she couldn't abid within herself.

Mira watched Sarah try to climb the mounds of junk without much success when Hoggle spoke up while stomping deftly up after Sarah. "Oh, this is good, I like this..." Mira chortled, clapping her hands extaticly. "Kiss him! Use some tongue too!" She added as she sauntered over to them.
 
Sarah

She gaped openly at both Mira and Hoggle and his insane request! He had to be insane to think she would resort to that, what did he take her for!?

"What?!" Face flaming red hot, she shot daggers at Mira. "I don't think that I ... " Her eyes went wide as something tickled within her mind, a wicked.. Positively evil idea creeping up from no where.

"Why don't you kiss him, and use some of that tongue Mira? After all, you're my sexuality right?" Arms folded over her breasts, a smirk firmly in place she waited for the mirror image of herself to wiggle her own tight little ass out of that!
 
Mira smirked right back. "I COULD do that, I could even shag the stuffing right out of the little twirp... But something tells me that he's looking for your love, not just lust. And that part of you... That part is still in YOU." Mira dropped her arms and lost her smirk. "Honestly, don't you get it yet? This place, its like a reflection of your inner being. A realization of all your fears and worries."
 
Sarah

ooc: I thought pooh was gona post lol but he hasnt so im going!

IC:

"Does that psychological mumbo jumbo work on others that come through here?" She shot Mira a glare, then gave Hoggle a lingering look.

"You keep blaming this all on me, but some how I doubt all this emotional baggage has anything to do with me. I am a well rounded, well adjusted person. I certainly do not have sex issues nor love issues." She jabbed a finger in both their directions.

"As it seems with you two." Eyeing the heap around her and knowing how deadly the place could be with sink holes and creatures, she stepped back away from the land fill like zone, trying not to stumble.

So maybe she was in denial a little bit, but really that was none of their business.

"I have to go, I can't stand around all day while Jareth has junior captive." She doubted Jareth even knew how to feed a baby, as he had none himself. Come to think of it, why was she in a hurry?

"There's a pond just over the hill, I do remember it." A bath would do her wonders. "You two can plot, or pout and complain.. whatever it is you two do and I will be over there... " She paused before moving off, "Alone!" She ordered both with a steely glare before marching off.

She needed some alone time to think about things.
 
Mira watched Sarah leave, crossing her arms and giving Hoggle a shrug. "Guess she's not woman enough, huh?"

*At the pond*

The small pond's shimmering surface was like polished glass with flecks of glitter shot through it as it rippled softly, as if in responce to Sarah's approach.
 
Sarah

Weary already and miserable both inside and out. She had been rude to them, it was uncalled for but they really needed to just lay off!

And bringing up Michael hadn't helped either, add in Hoggle's complaints like she could forever stay here and be a kid. This isn't Neverland, but it felt like it some times.

And so she stripped down to her panty and bra, she just needed some time alone to clear her head and formulate a plan to get Jareth to hand over junior without a battle of wills.

Slipping into the warmth, she waded in up to her belly button before sinking to her neck. A soft moan escaping as she shifted to lay out and let the water carry her weight for a bit.
 
Just as the warmth of the water began working its soothing magic upon Sarah's weary body a pocket of air surfaced on the other side of the pond with a soft bloop. Then nothing, the pond remained eerilly still, even when she moved, refusing to ripple in her passing. Then she felt something brush against her ankle. It was gone before she could react though, darting away in the stillness of the water, suddenly too dark to see through. It came again, this time gliding along her inner thigh, something smooth.
 
Sarah

A shiver passed down her spine as the moss tickled her in passing. A soft sigh was all she uttered, languishing in paradise of calm; it was all she could muster up the energy to respond with.

Lazily she floated on her back, slipping further into the middle before peddling herself around to float back towards shore. This place was heaven, surely heaven shimmered like liquid silver silk? If not, it should because that is exactly how she felt.

Calm. Comforted.

Inhaling deeply, she sank under. Weightless, just the right temperature engulfed her. Opening her eyes, she tried to see but couldn't make out too much other than the standard flora and fauna.

She surfaced just feet from shore, fingertips lightly crazing over pebble and plant as she wormed her way towards shore. It was then that something caressed her again, across her calf muscle, shimming up her inner thigh and over her buttocks. Jerking over onto her butt, she tried to see what she'd just swam through.
 
There was only a small ripple in the water where she looked, then stillness once more. Seconds passed in near silence, the soft whistling of air and light chirping the only thing breaking it. Sarah felt her right foot sink slowly into the soft bed of the pond, causing her to shift her weight by parting her legs slightly.

That was enough, all that whatever had touched her seconds ago needed to dart in, under her panties... And slipping with ease, completely inside of her!
 
Sarah

"HOLY FUCK!" She screeched, jumping and rushing backwards up towards shore. "What the HELL was that?!" Heart hammering in her chest like crazy, hands shot between her legs to brush the unseen assailant thing off of her....

But she found and felt nothing.

Great gasps for air, she trembled a bit as she slid up to the water's edge. Her feet were all that was left in the water, forgotten as she searched yet again for whatever touched her.

"A fish maybe.. Or moss.." She pulled her panties down and completely off, quickly exiting the water entirely to be sure it couldn't touch her again. Panties off and hanging between finger and thumb, she inspected them for anything that might've caused that insane tickling caress just moments ago..

and found nothing.

Looking down, she ran finger tips over her mound and down, sliding gingerly down the apex of her thighs.. Again, she found and felt nothing abnormal.

"Jesus christ... I am losing my frickin' mind!" she chuckled at her own behavior, relief causing her to sag nearly to the ground in a boneless heap. She lay back, basking in the sun's rays... well actually she was too weak in the knees to walk all because she thought a disgusting bug might've swamp or crawled on her.
 
Sarah had only just managed to calm her racing heart when she felt a strange churnning sensation between the lips of her pussy. She had checked all around the outside, but had failed to explore the possibility of whatever had swam against her in the water had managed to enter her. It felt like something slick and smooth was rolling about mere inches inside of her.
