Alternative Ending

The early evening sun descended colouring the sky in shades of red and orange, it cast its fading light through the window and gave the empty room a cosy feeling, Sarah sighed. She was sat on the windowsill watching the last of their belongings being loaded into the van below. She would miss this place, it was where all her dreams had begun, each new journey, each new adventure, all held in these four walls. She would miss the view from her window, the tree that spoke to her of the changing season and the park just visible over the rooftops, yes she would miss it all. Her father had a fantastic new job and and even greater house to go with it, although she had yet to see it they had reassured her that she would love it. Yet it wasn't here and here held so many of her memories. She looked around the empty walls of her room, it looked so much bigger now. A voice broke into her thoughts.

"Sarah, Sarah we are ready to leave now" came her father's voice from downstairs.

"Coming" Sarah replied

She walked across the naked floorboards, pausing as she reached the door she glanced back into the room and said a silent goodbye. As the door gently closed she failed to see an owl land on the tree outside.

Sarah made her way quickly down the stairs and out into the waiting car. Toby was already fastened in and was eager for them to get going. As she watched her father lock the front door for the last time she made a wish, not a spoken one as she knew the dangers in that but one she hoped with all her heart would be filled.

"Ok, let's go" her father said as he started the car "it will take us a while to get there with the traffic"

A lone owl watched as the car pulled away, it didn't attempt to follow but its eyes stayed on the car until it vanished into the swell of the late evening traffic.

Once he was sure they had gone Jareth cast of his owl form and materialised in what was once Sarah's room. He had watched over the week as she had carefully packed away her belongings sealing them in boxes and marking each one with a label. He had watched her constantly since she had defeated his Labyrinth, watched as she had blossomed from a young girl into a beautiful young women still full of strength and adventure. The room reminded him of his heart, without her it was hollow, lifeless and empty. He had made the decision not to follow her to her new home, she was moving on and now he would try to do the same. As he got ready to leave he took one last glance around and realised the room wasn't completely empty. There just below the window was a statue sat on top of a red book. He walked over and picked them both up. The figure was the one Sarah had kept on her dressing table the one that looked remarkably like him and the little red book Labyrinth. How ironic as he had decided to leave her behind she had done the exact same thing. As he raised his arm in anger to hurl both objects at the opposite wall a piece of paper fluttered from the pages of the book onto the floor. He placed the figure and book on the windowsill before bending down to retrieve the paper with his gloved hand. Straightening back up he unfolded the paper and began to read.

The Labyrinth an alternative ending

He raised his eyebrows slightly and settled on the windowsill before continuing to read.

And what no one knew was that the King of the Goblins had fallen in love with the girl and given her certain powers. But what the King didn't know was that the girl had fallen in love with him also and didn't know how to use the certain powers he had granted her. So both being stubborn and too proud to realise their mistake suffered alone. Until one night when the girl decided that one last chance should be given. So she waited in the place where he had watched her so many times and hoped he would come. She hoped the arrogant, annoying, cruel, generous, handsome and all to seductive King would come.

Jareth's eyes lit up as he read the words and a smirk spread across his face, he let out a loud laugh before vanishing from the room.

Sarah had asked her father to drop her at the park under the pretence that she was saying goodbye to some friends, reluctantly he had agreed saying he would pick her up later that evening. Now as she sat on the stone bench in the park she wasn't sure she had done the right thing. She had spotted the owl watching from the tree through the reflection in her mirror as she packed away her belongings. If she was wrong and it wasn't him she had decided that she would use the spare key she still had and retrieve the book and figure. But she so hoped she was right. She gazed out across the pond thinking of all the times she had spent in this park and the times she could remember the owl watching. Her whole life had changed after wishing Toby away and for the better. Her stepmother hadn't turned out to be quite as wicked as she first thought. Over the years she had realised what his Labyrinth had taught her. But with the realisation of that also came what she had turned her back on. After an hour had passed and with the onset of a darkening sky Sarah s hope began to fade. Taking one last look at the park she dug her hands into her pockets and turned to set off towards the house. But stopped, there on the end of the bench was the figure and book she had left in her room. As she gentle picked them up with slightly shaking hands she heard a voice whisper in her ear.

"I think you forgot something."

Sarah turned round to find herself face to face with Jareth. Her heart pounded in her chest, he had come, she hadn't expected he would and hadn't really thought any further. Jareth tilted his head to the side and gave her a small smile.

"alternative ending indeed and what was so wrong with the first?" he said

Ok I know it is a little short but just thought I would get it out there. Can take it slightly further
