Labyrinth: The Story Never Told

Chapter 1: The Rose

The goblin king sat on his thrown, anger plainly displayed on his face.

"Master, I have the peaches you wanted." One of his goblins subjects said,

holding the fruit out to his monarch.

"You fool! I don't want peaches I want Sarah! But Sarah is getting married,

and not to me! Get out of my face Abnath!" He snarled as he threw one of his

crystal orbs at guilty goblin, who ducked just in time to not get hit.

Hoggle entered just as the king threw the ball, and not being aware of the

need to duck got hit. "Ow, sir, that hurt." he said as he reached down to pick up the

orb before it rolled out the door he had just entered. "You know, you could always

try to use magic to get her. I mean, why not go to earth, cast a spell, and make her

come back here with you."

"What! Downgrade myself to a human?!" The king screeched.

"Um, yes sir." Hoggle said, doubting himself.

"So, your saying I should go to human earth, disguise as one of them, and

spell Sarah into loving me?" He said sarcastically.

"Yes sir. That's what I'm proposing."

"Hmm, this just might work. I'll give it a try. I mean, what's the worst

that can happen? Sarah hates me again. But Hoggle, if this doesn't work, your

going to be in trouble" And with that the king of the goblins and Hoggle took off to

the human world, and towards his love.

~Michel, where are you?~ Sarah thought to herself as she waited outside of her

apartment for her fiancee. She had been waiting for almost fifteen minutes now, and

it wasn't like him to be late.

"Boo!" Startled, Sarah turned around to see Michel behind her a silly grin on

his face.

"Scared you, didn't I?" He said as he took her hand and kissed it.

"Yes you did." Sarah replied, smiling in spite of herself. "What took you so

long?"

"I was buying this." Michel said as he opened up a little velvet box.

"Oh, it's the one I showed you." Sarah took the ring out of the box and put it

on. It was just a bit to big for her finger, but that was okay, she would take it in and

get it downsized later. "Thank you Lar."

"No problem love. Now come on, I'm sure my parents will love you." And

still holding her hand, they started to walk down the street towards his car.

"Where is she? Hoggle, WHERE IS SHE!?!?!?" Jareth yelled at the little

man when he discovered Sarah wasn't where his orbs had told him she would be.

"Um, I don't know?" Hoggle said as he ducked down in case the king

decided to hit him.

"Hold on Lar, I've just got to grab my purse." Both Hoggle and Jareth heard

the voice and turned toward it.

"It's her." Jareth hissed to Hoggle as he saw her. She had grown, but she

looked just the same. ~Especially those eyes. I will always love those eyes. I

offered to put the sky in them and she turned me down. I still would if she asked. I

would still do anything for her if she asked. But she never will.~ He chuckled at the

memories of what had happened that fateful day she had wished he, Jareth, King of

the Goblins, would take her younger brother from her because he wouldn't stop

crying, and he had done so willingly. The she had asked for the baby back. To this

day he still couldn't understand why. She had asked for him to take the child away,

then for him to give the boy back.

To make sure she really wanted the child back Jareth had sent her through his

labyrinth. But he made it easy for her. He had put her right next to a short cut to his

castle that was located at the entrance. He even put Hoggle there so that she would

be sure to get into the labyrinth. But then that stupid worm had told her not to use

the shortcut, and almost jeopardized the entire thing. That worm. It had tasted very

good.

"Um, sir, how are you going to greet her?" Hoggle asked his master.

"What?" Startled Jareth looked around and saw where he was.

"Erm, I asked you how you where going to introduce yourself to Sarah. You

can't just walk up to her and say 'Hi Sarah, remember me? I'm Jareth, you know,

the one that kidnaped your little brother.'"

"Why not?"

Instead of replying Hoggle just rolled his eyes and pulled Jareth away from

Sarah. When they were what he deemed a sufficient distance Hoggle told the king

"Okay, first off, you want to be able to get close enough to cast the spell on her.

It's probably a good idea if you didn't let her see you during this time, otherwise she

might recognize you, and then you will never get close enough."

"Very well than, I shall cast the spell now, before she gets any further away."

Jareth said, smiling slightly as he went to her apartment. Once he was inside, he set

the rose down on her counter where she would see it easily. When she smelt it, she

would fall under his power. He then hid, so he would be there the second she was

his. Ahhhh, it felt good to win.
