CHAPTER ONE
Sitting alone in her room, with her parents gone to Hawaii on their hunny moon, 18 year old Sarah Williams sat infront of hey vanity mirrior. The expression on her face told her thoughts. Her face was pale and lonely. She sat looking at her reflection in the mirrior, questioning the reflection like it would give her the answers she wanted.
"Why," She said as she picked up Lancalot, her favorite stuffed bear. "Why did you have to save Toby instead of staying with Jareth? Why did I not love him till now!?" Her voice was filled with anger and sadness.
Hugging her bear tightly she cursed herself, then without noticing, she called to him. Damn you Sarah! How could you let yourself get away from the one person, the one man, that loved you so! I threw him away, and I didn't know what I had till now. It's not fair! Jareth, I need you. Do you still love me? Do I still have a chance? Jareth come to me and answer my questions, please." She dropped her bear and crossed her arms on the desk, placing her head face down on them, she began to cry softly.

Watching the glass ball play in his hands, Jareth, protecter of the Underworld, and King of Goblins. He was amused at what he saw, Sarah was weeping over him. He had to admit, he was a bit upset that she was weeping over him now, after he wasn't sure if he could love her again. "Why couldn't she have wept over me when I wanted us to be thogether, and not now, when I don't love her any more."
He decided to go and answer some questions for her.
*~*
From out of nowhere, someones hand pet her head as if she were a small puppy. A voice that she longed to hear for the past three years caused to jerk. "Calm down my dear little Sarah, I'll answer some questions for you."
Sarah turned around automatically, the man that had talked to her now sat on the windowsill. Was it really him? Was she just dreaming? "Jareth? is it really you, or am I just seeing wishes?"
He gave her a quick smile before answering. "No Sarah, you're not seeing wishes, I'm really here. Now, what questions did you want me to answer, hm?"
She sat on a stool next to the windowsill. She looked up to the blue and brown eyes that first made her blood run cold, but now make her feel warm and safe. "Over the past three years, I found out what I threw away, and I didn't know about it untill after I saved Toby. I want to know, why did you choose me to love, and do you still love me? Can I go back to your castle at the center of the Labyrinth with you?"
Talking as if he were chiding a child, he answered Sarah's questions. "My Little Sarah, I chose to love you for your bravery, you also seemed to hold all the beauty I've ever seen in a girl. If you want more than that, all I can say is that you are unlike any other girl I've ever known and something inside of my just snapped. As for your second question, I will never stop caring about you Sarah, but I do not still love you the way I did once before. To answer you third question of weather or not you can come back to my Labyrinth, is no..."
Jareth saw the depression swelling up in her eyes to hear his answers come out the way she did not want them to. From somewhere unknown, he gave her a chance, and talked, to both his and Sarah's suprize, sweetly.
"...However," He continued, "If you would like to stay with me while your parents and Toby are away, you may."
Sarah's expression or joy grew almost to the extent, but then she realized something.
"What's the catch Jareth? I know very well that if you don't love me the way you used to, then there has to be a catch."
A sly smile crept across Jareth's pale face. "Ah, very smart Little Sarah. I'm going to send you to a part of the Labyrinth. Three miles in each direction there will be a large wall blocking your way. Your task, find the five gems that I have hidden in that area. Green, blue, red, black, and purple are the color gems you want."
With that said, he was away in owl form, leaving Sarah in part of the Labyrinth.
