Snippet #816570

Eva's eyes followed the crystal as Jareth was juggling it in one hand. Her eyes flicked to her own hand, and she tried moving it in the same manner that he did. She pulled her hand close to look over it when she heard the crystal drop to the ground. Eva's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the door.

"Is that..." Her voice was soft, and it trailed off not finishing the sentence. She was studying it, it seemed to carry every crack in the wood as the original did, when she heard Jareth's voice. He seemed to snap her back to 'reality', whatever that was.

"Ha...er, right. I'm going." Eva stumbled on her words slightly, as she walked up to the porch steps. She gingerly moved onto the first step, as if afraid it would disappear beneath her. Her hand began to sweat as she placed it on the handle. She replayed what Jareth had just said, 'just like home'. That home was the reason she was even in the labyrinth. The reason that made her wish to be somewhere else. She closed her eyes for a moment, then she pushed the door open.

Just as he said, the house was like the real one. Eva nodded in approval, and turned to Jareth with a decent, but slightly sad, smile on her face. "Are you staying out there or coming in?" She asked as she leaned against the door frame.
