*Now a featured Wattpad story! Zara was never meant to be an outcast. Once upon a time, she was a Red Cape- a member of the respected forest guard. That was before the accident, though. The one that left her partner dead and her to blame. Now expelled from the guard and living a life of shame, all Zara wants is to redeem herself and earn back her coveted position. The perfect opportunity arises when a mysterious Hunstman shows up in the kingdom...looking for her. Somewhere deep within the dark forest, a princess is being held captive by the werewolves and their king. As the royal Huntsman, it's Ronan's job to find her and bring her back. And who better to guide him than a former member of the renowned Red Capes? While Zara isn't thrilled at the idea of working side by side with the irritatingly charming Huntsman, she's in no position to refuse his proposition. Especially if she wants to impress the guard and earn a second chance. Together, they enter the forest to face the myriad of terrifying creatures awaiting inside. Ardon, the werewolf king, has an agenda of his own...one where he and his pack rise from exile to reclaim their place at the top of the food chain. When he begins to make unexplainable appearances within Zara's dreams, she realizes things are far from what they seem. The truth behind their strange connection may not be one she's ready for. However, the werewolf king is far from the only one harboring dark secrets. What began as a simple rescue mission will soon turn into a challenge not only for Zara's life, but for the world outside the forest.

"But it was my right to leave, just as it is now." She growled, suddenly more aware than she had been in months. "Oh is it?" He turned on her then, the same look from her dream crossing over his features. Earning every ounce of his title of the king of goblins. "I think you lost your rights, the moment you stepped back into my realm- my dear." The feeling of the warping of time and space filtered through her and then they were suddenly standing within the throne room. Silence singing within the air. "You have no power over me." She hissed, her green eyes glowing, in the dim lit throne room of laborite and hell. She stood her ground, watching the man before her as he stopped mid step. His face had crumbled, and pain filtered it's way through his eyes. The mere presence of him sent a sudden thrill, and her heart was suddenly playing the organ to fear. All of the wishes she had made with hopes to be back in this very throne room, swarmed around her like little vultures. This would be her last time here, and she knew it. As if reading her mind, a laugh gurgled it's way through her turmoil; completely wiping every ounce of confidence she possessed. He had changed, so much so, that the truth was raw and bare before her in the figure of an angel. "Oh, my Sarah, you think that old trick would work again? Tsk Tsk." *A continuation of The Labyrinth* *underconstruction at the moment* ATTENTION!! TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!!! I do not own anything from the labyrinth, nor do I own the characters Sarah and Jareth (or any of the other wonderful creatures of the movie.) I also do not own any of the pictures or music!! I do hope you enjoy.

One fateful night, it even saved her life. When her people turn against her, and cast her to the cursed woods, all she has left to rely on is the friend she found in a wolf, but even that may not be enough to save her from the community he calls home.
