Back to the Labyrinth
Ch1
It had been 6years since Sarah was in the labyrinth and beat the goblin king, but it felt like it was only yesterday. Every night she would dream of him, most often or not in a sexual way... She was now 21 finishing uni and planning her future but she missed him, wondered endlessly how life could of been had she stayed with him underground, would he really of still turned Toby into a goblin? Would he really of been her slave if she loved him? Maybe... Maybe not... But he was with her all the time, she tried to move on from it, she dated but no one compared in anyway to the stunning king... She knew his name but only at night in her dreams would she use it... And usually she was screaming, while in various sexual positions with him...
She feared saying his name would bring him back and as much as she wanted him she feared what he would do, and if he was mad at her for rejecting him... But she was a child and in her way of living 15 is to young to be in love and appreciate a relationship or even consider sex... Well for her it was unthinkable... But now at 21 she wanted all that...
She'd made a friend, Daniel, at high school and went through college and uni with him, he knew of her unrequited love for the King but not who he was or how she knew him.
They spent a lot of time together But she was sure he was changing, changing how he acted around her, she wasn't sure if she liked it or not.
This evening he arrived uninvited with a take away, they sat and ate, Sarah was clearly aware of the atmosphere change.
"Sarah, we've been friends for a long time now, am I any closer to meeting your mystery man?"
this question confused Sarah "why would you want to?"
he smiles "cos I don't think he's coming back and your waiting is pointless..." he pauses, she doesn't like where this is going "when you… could have..." he moves closer, he leans in, she freezes "have me" he moves into kiss her,
she quickly pushes him away and stands up "no Daniel, you're my friend nothing more. I'm not holding out for him, I just don't like you that way and I don't want anyone else at the moment" she looks down on him
"I'm sorry" is all he says
"now leave, I can't look at you right now" he stands and goes.
Sarah flops onto her sofa unsure how to feel... But she was waiting for him to come back and she did want him but that wouldn't happen after she rejected him so long ago... he must hate her,,,
"Is that really what you think? Sarah"
she looks up to see him... Yes him sat in the chair opposite her, it can't be, she rubs her eyes, he is here, he was sat in the chair, perched on the edge, legs crossed, smiling...
"Well Sarah do you really think I would never come back for you if you called me?"
"I didn't know what to think"
he smiles "and poor Daniel, do you think he'll come back now you rejected him too... You seem to like rejecting men... But not in your sleep..." his smile grows eve bigger...
Does he know her dreams? Has she some how called him back? What does he want? So many questions flooded her mind...
"Why are you here? Other than to taunt me"
"now come come Sarah do you really think that's all I'm here for?"
"I don't know is it?"
he shakes his head "your dreams called me back, you clearly are much older, and more mature now. I am here to make my offer again. This time with nothing in the way"
he can't be serious, why now? He must have an interior motive
"but why now? What do you want of me?"
"Sarah your a woman now, I realise my requests before were too much for you at the age you were, but now your older and clearly still want me, so all can be forgiven. I have changed from who I was, I realised my flaws and made a few changes to myself and all off the underground, you'd be proud of me, I've even hired all your friends to work in the goblin city, I'd like you to see it... Just say my name"
She didn't know what to do... This could be a trick and she could be setting herself up...
"Sarah just say my name and you can have everything you've ever wanted and more"
she shakes her head
"I know its a lot to consider but just say my name and I will be here ready to take you back... Back underground"
she shakes her head "but I say it in my sleep, so that's not fair I may not be ready"
He stands "I've missed you saying that 'its not fair'" he laughs..."it'll only apply when you are awake I promise... So think about it... All original offers stand and your dreams... "
he turns and vanishes... Leaving her alone in her room...
She's now even more confused, that look in his eyes remains, the possible love and need he has for her, he couldn't fake that but what if its only because of her dreams of him that he wants her sexually, not anything more? She wouldn't just have sex with someone, that was to wait till marriage and she doubted he'd agree to marriage, though he did say my dreams and everything I want... She decides to sleep on the idea and think more tomorrow.
