Path between the stars

The morning after Sarah and her friends celebrated her return from the Labyrinth she woke up to the sound of Toby crying, "I'm coming Toby".

Still expecting to be in the Labyrinth she was a little shocked when she looked around her room.

She had returned home and she had spoken those words to the Goblin King.

Yet there was no sign of her friends who she had celebrated with the night before and no sign that they had been there.

Toby cried out again and Sarah ran to her fathers and step-mothers room.

As she walked over to Toby's cot she saw Lancelot laying on the floor, "Is this who you wanted?" Sarah asked the child as she tucked Lancelot safely back into his sheets again, the child instantly stopped crying and smiled.

"Thought so" Sarah smiled back.

She watched the child as he tugged playfully at the covers and held on to Lancelot's arm, Sarah sighed and walked over to the window.

"We were in the Labyrinth, weren't we Toby?" She walked back to the child and stroked his cheek gently.

"I did save you from the Goblin King" as she was about to leave the room she looked at her brother one last time, "He has no power over me".

She closed the door slightly and swallowed hard as though trying to get the bitter taste of the words off her tongue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jareth was in his throne watching Sarah through a crystal, as she said those words they echoed through his head and he dropped the crystal on the floor.

As it shattered he looked at it amazed he had never dropped one before. "Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, I don't have power over you" he got up and kicked the shattered remains of the crystal.

"But you have power over me" he confessed then pushed her as far back in his head as he could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Six years later, Sarah was out in the park with her dog Merlin.

She was now twenty one and tried to lead as normal a life as she could, what with defeating the Labyrinth, dancing and only ever truly looking into the eyes of a Goblin King and seeing the kind of things you would only see in a dream as a child.

Yep she definitely had her work cut out for her if she wanted to live a normal life.

The clouds were darkening and soon it started to rain slow at first then gradually came down hard.

"No, not again, come on Merlin let's go home" Sarah looked down at her feet, "Come on feet" she cringed at the words as she headed home, they were the exact same words she had said before she walked off the hill to the Labyrinth.

As she arrived home she put Merlin in the garage out of the rain and snuck into the house, thankfully her step-mother and father were too busy watching TV to notice.

She walked up the stairs to her room to see a seven year old child looking up at her, "Toby what are you doing in my room again?" She put her hands on her hips and waited for an answer.

"I was looking for Lancelot, I can't find him anywhere" Toby answered as he looked away from Sarah's gaze.

"Well we'll just have to find him then won't we" she stopped for a little while then looked around,

"Sarah and Toby made their way through the Labyrinth running through it's twist and turns searching for the Goblin city" Sarah began.

The child giggled at his sisters words. "They only had a few hours left before the time was up and the Goblin King would keep Lancelot for himself" Toby started searching the room for the bear.

Sarah walked up to her dresser and looked down at the draws, "They finally made it to the castle and confronted the Goblin King.

'Though dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, we have fought our way here to the castle beyond the Goblin city, for our will is as strong as yours and our kingdom as great'......" Sarah opened the draw and looked down at the book in front of her, she couldn't speak .

Toby looked at his sister and giggled "You always forget that line....you have no power over me." He spotted a bears legs under her bed, he pulled the bear out "There you are Lancelot, found him".

Sarah ran her hand over the red book, it was almost as if it was urging her to touch it, pulling at her, possessing her. "Sarah I found Lancelot."

Toby walked up to his sister and put his hand on her arm.

Her eyes left the book and turned to the music box, everything faded away.

"Sarah" she heard a voice call her name a voice that was a little to familiar in her mind.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly closed the draw. "Sarah are you okay?" Toby looked a little concerned about his sister.

"Yes Toby I'm fine, I see you rescued Lancelot now you can go back to your own room" She turned the child around to face the door and patted his back to make him walk.

"But Sarah" the child pouted.

"No buts Toby I need some time alone, you understand don't you?" she smiled hoping Toby would leave her to her thoughts, though a little concern hit her when she remembered the last time she had hoped he would go away.

"Okay Sarah, if you wish for me to leave, I'll leave" Sarah was shocked at Toby's words.

"I will never wish for you to leave your far too important to me, I just need some time alone it's a girl thing" she told her brother, and with that her brother ran to the door.

"I don't want to be around no girl thing yuk" and he shut the door behind him.

"Why did I know that would work" Sarah said to herself and smiled. Her smile soon disappeared when she heard her name being called again "Sarah".

"Why are you calling me?" she walked over to her dresser and looked in the mirror, "Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, I need to see you, all of you" she called out to her friends.
