You Pale Jewel (a Labyrinth fanfic)

1: 𝗼 𝘂 𝘁 𝗯 𝗿 3 𝗮 𝗸

A/N: this fanfic was made by me to be a comfort-fanfic. I'm currently in a place in my life where I continue to beg that Jareth and the goblin realm were real. (We've all been there.) so if you don't enjoy this fic, it's cause it's a comfort fic. ENJOY!🙂

Leaning further against the wall, I read the few sentences intently.
A distant sound of a door being slammed closed was heard, sighing, I stuffed the small novel 'LABYRINTH" inside the old pillow case.

I wobbled, at the attempt of standing to look in the mirror; at my fat ugly self.
The bruises were worse today, not unexpected at all at this point.
I sometimes wonder what it would be like to die, or have people that care about you.
The only thing that cared about me is the bonnie barn owl that usually visits twice every month.

Him and the LABYRINTH is the only thing that makes me happy.
The door swung open, the hinges almost disintegrated then and there.

*no ones POV*

Seda cowered back into the corner with both fear and anger, after realising who it was.

Attempting to talk to him didn't help because all that came out the girls mouth was;
"H-h-h-he-lo! Uh- are you o-o-ookay sir?"
Scoffing at Seda, Owen stepped closer to her, an evil thundering glare was facing her.

Heart aching, Seda screwed her face up and prepared for the same punishment she revived every hour, of everyday, of every year.

SMACK!
The man crept closer, making a sure he would've made a long-lasting mark on her "ugly" face.
Wait.
What's that?
That... boxy shaped thing wedged under the pillow?

Owen snatched it quicker than Colonel Sanders could say "food"
Much to the girls argument, he stared intently at the hidden book labelled; "LABYRINTH"
Anger filled his veins, he was ready to beat the living sh!t out of the little beast.

He tore the bookmark she handmade into little pieces.
Seda cried out, begging him to stop.
Ignoring her cries, Owen used all of his anger and strength to tear the book pages out, piece by piece.

Seda cried out even more, the tears blinding her vision completely.

"Pl-please! No!"

At this particular moment, Seda's barn owl perched on the branch outside her window.
It tapped at the window, causing Owen to turn his attention to it.

"N-n-no! P-please! Don't touch him!"
The Owl noticed the crashing movement coming towards him, and flew back, and out of the area.

SMACK!
PUNCH!

Seda screamed, her pain echoing around the empty room.

I stood wearily infront of the small cracked mirror, today's were much worse than ever.
A huge purple bruise was printed over her face, covering her Right cheek.

I wish he were real.

who says I'm not

I jumped, dropping the wet rag on the ground.
"Wh-what?! Was that?..."
Sighing, I picked up the wet rag and dabbed my cheek again with it.

Tears began to brink at my eyes again, causing me to throw the rag and stare at myself intently in the mirror.

why I am I still here right now

Do I have to breath at all?

or live even?

"Damnit!" I cursed, causing a scream from Owen.
More hot tears prickled at my eyes, and soon enough, the waterworks started flowing down my face, stinging at the bruise on my cheek.

"I-I-..." A large lump in my throat formed, causing me to cry out even more.
All my feelings about everything came crashing forward into the front of my mind.

Owen continued to scream loudly at me from his room.

"Oh! STOP IT!" I screeched.

I sobbed even more, the tears blinding my vision once again.

I picked up the corner of the mirror that was shattered, and sliced my arm.

More tears came, but the cut felt better.
Thinking of mum, and everything, more tears came.

"I-I wish... I wish the goblin king would take me away... right...now."
