AN: Um, uh, yeah... / Enjoy? *sigh* I'm really sorry, I don't think that Labyrinth fans will appreciate this, but... I'm giving it my best, so shhh~
Sarah sighed and poked the cold, hard chicken with a fork. Really, making her babysit Toby wasn't enough, her step-mother also had to feed her yesterday's chicken! If she had thought it was gray and tasteless yesterday, it was only because she didn't know what it would become today.
Shoving another piece of dull grayness into her mouth, Sarah growled.
"I wish the Goblin King would come and take you away," she joked bitterly, mad at herself for being unable to throw Jareth out of her mind since that day.
His eyes…
They held such a sad love deep inside.
"There's such a saaaad loooove deep in your eeeeyes," she muttered, blushing against her own will as she remembered his eyes.
"Well, well, Sarah, what have we got here?" a voice asked mockingly from behind her as the Goblin King's hand appeared on her shoulder, making the girl utter a scream of surprise.
"Jareth?"
"What am I supposed to take? The chicken?" he ignored her, snatching the plate from under her nose before she could react.
"No! Not my dinner! " the young woman protested. "I'm hungry! Give that back!"
"Come and get it! I'll take Toby and some ketchup, too."
"What? Why? YOU WANT TO EAT TOBY WITH-"
"Of course not. I want to eat that… Chicken. With ketchup. And Toby will keep me company."
"Oh. If you eat Toby, don't use ketchup. It won't taste good."
"Deal."
With that, Jareth blinded Sarah with a flashlight and disappeared, laughing maniacally.
When his poor hungry victim opened her eyes, she was standing before the Labyrinth.
Again.
