I don't own the Labyrinth in anyway.
There is but one girl for me and I am here to find her and tell her my story. She is my runner, my dance partner, my defeater, my love, my Sarah.
She wished away her bother to me, so long ago it seems, even for one such as myself. She wanted to be rid of him. So I came to do her bidding. I tempted her with her dreams and she refused. She chose to run the Labyrinth. Never before has there been such a devoted and determined runner. She wanted, no, needed to win to save her brother. It was a thing I didn't understand at the time but soon understood very much why.
She made my very subjects fall in love with her. I won't deny it now, I was jealous. Especially the special attention she gave that dwarf. He too fell in love with her the moment she deemed him her friend. But I wanted her! I did not want to share her or her love. And thus began my downfall.
When holding her in my arms I knew I could never let her go. I had felt such a sensation that I have never felt in a hundred years and haven't felt since. I sang to her from the depths of my heart. No one has ever moved me so. But she fled.
For mere moments I thought I would win. I would not only keep the baby but her as well. Then the guard entered my throne room. She had made it to the city gates and was on her way to the castle. I could not have that!
But as I said my very subjects loved her. My army could not and would not stop her. She entered. She ran up and down for her brother. I sang yet again from the depths of my heart to her. She had turned my perfect world upside down. I was exhausted for doing everything for her so I could have her! The cruelty of it all she denied me and my gifts. She jumped down destroying the illusion.
I had but one more chance. I told her. I pleaded for her to love me. I would do anything for her that my true motive was of her, for her, and only her. I tried to distract her from her words. Words I knew she may find if she focused on them enough. But no matter how hard I tried she said them. You have no power over me. How they seem to echo throughout my being. Those words would destroy, have destroyed any chance for us. For she did not, could not understand her power over me.
I felt doomed as I changed into my other form. I would never see her again, would never watch her grow up as I have done for such a time. But then something quite amazing happened. Her friends came to say goodbye. Of course when, Hogwart appeared Sarah said, "I need you, all of you. Every now and then for no reason at all I will need you in my life," or something to that accord.
They had appeared in her room, and I was able to watch from the tree outside her room in my other form. I figured out that in some way she need me too, not only her friends, my subjects, but me. But there's a catch you see. I could not appear to her as myself or just by myself unless of course she willed it because I haven't the power or at least over her.
I don't kid myself now. She won't need me as myself. Why would she, I am after all the villain of the story, am I not?
Oh I know all too well what she would say, if I could appear to her. That I threw the cleaners, stuck her in a Bog, and had the entire goblin army after her. I did. Yes very true I did those things. But what of it, would you not do what you could to keep something that was precious to you forever by your side? I would ask her if she got hurt by any of my actions. For she did not, I would not allow it.
So you see, my intentions were, are amiable. I don't blame her for walking away from me. She could easily have confused my intentions. So you see, Sarah, down in the Underground you will find someone true. You will find me. I am lost and lonely without you. Thus is why I search for a way to contact you in some way.
