Labyrinth Continued…

Five years later Sarah returns home graduated from College with her degree in English. Toby is a lively 5 year old running around. Merlin is stretched out in front of the fireplace.

"Honey you don't mind watching Toby? I can call the sitter." Her father asks as he and her stepmother are getting ready to go to a business dinner party.

"No, I don't mind. It will be nice spending some time with him this summer." She grabs him in an embrace; as he tries to run pass her.

"Toby, you mind your sister. It's almost your bed time, go and brush your teeth." His mother kisses him on the check. "Sarah, don't let him talk you into staying up too late." She embarrasses Sarah and kisses her on the check.

"We will try to get home early." Her father kisses her on the forehead.

"Don't hurry, have fun and enjoy yourself. After I put Toby to bed, I'll just read a little before I go to bed." Waving to them as they leave, she shuts the door and turns the lock.

She hears an excited yell coming from upstairs. "Sarah, come see!" Toby sounds excited about something.

Running up the stairs Sarah stops in Toby's doorway. "What Toby…"

Toby is at the window pointing outside. "The Goblin King is here."

Sarah runs over to the window and looks out. In the tree there is an owl staring straight at them. She pushes Toby back and shuts the window.

"Toby what are you talking about." She glances at him worry in her eyes.

"The Goblin King, he comes and tells me stories at night." He looks out and up at the branches in the tree.

"Toby you need to stay away from him." She places her hands on his shoulders. "He takes children and turns them into Goblins."

Turning he looks up at her, innocent eyes connecting with hers. "No he doesn't. The Goblins are always in his kingdom just like all the other creatures that are there." Glancing at the window and back at her, "He asks about you."

Stumbling back away from the window, she sits down on the bed. "What?" She shakes her head lightly. "Toby you don't remember when you were a baby. He took you. I had to find you." Putting her head down, whipping her eyes with the back of her hands.

Toby sits down beside Sarah, "He told me about it." Leaning on her side, "He has these magic crystal balls that he can show you what has happened."

Looking down and pulling him close to her. "So what did you see?"

"When you were mad, cause mommy and daddy let me have Lancelot. You wished for the Goblins to come and take me away, and they did." Wrapping tiny arms, around her waist, "But you came and got me back."

"Toby I will always come for you." Kissing the top of his head, "But you have to promise me not to go with him or wish anything with the Goblins. Promise!"

"I promise Sarah." Glancing again at the window, "But he really wants to talk to you."

Sarah stands and goes to the window making sure it's locked and closing the curtains. "I'll let you sleep with Lancelot if you get in bed and not let anyone in."

He jumps up and runs to her, "Can I get him and will you read me a story about Lancelot?" Bright wide escorted eyes looking up at her.

"Sure let's go get him and his book." They go out his door and go to hers. Grabbing the book from the shelf as Toby gets Lancelot from her bed and hugs him close. He grabs Sarah's hand as they walk back to his room. Tucking him in the bed and sitting with her back against the headboard, she begins to read. A couple chapters in and Toby is sound asleep. Standing she marks their spot for tomorrow night and kisses him on the forehead as she heads out and turns off the light. Glancing over at the window to make sure it's still closed. She decides to leave the door open so she can hear if anything should happen.

Back in her room she goes to the window and looks out. "Why are you asking about me? Can't you please just leave Toby alone?" She turns from the window.

"I miss you Sarah" Jareth whispers as he sits on her windowsill.

Turning around quickly and backing towards the door. "Go Away!"

"But Sarah, I am here to answer your questions." Standing he walks towards her.

"Stay away from me." Looking straight into his eyes, "Why would you be asking Toby quotations about me?"

"Because, I miss you Sarah." Jareth starts twirling his crystal balls around in his hand.

"What have you been telling Toby?" she walks towards him. How could it be, it is like he has never aged. He was the man in her dreams. Why couldn't she get him out of her mind after all these years?

"Toby has an imagination just like you Sarah." Cocking his eyebrows at her, "He talks to my goblins and they enjoy his conversations. They play together."

"You better not take him again, cause I will…" Anger is shooting from her eyes.

"I would never take him, unless he asked." A twinkle of amusement in his eyes, "but I would bring him back." Walking around her childhood room, regarding all the Shakespeare books and posters. She was always a fan for the poetry.

"You need to go." Hearing a car pull up in the driveway.

"I will see you soon Sarah." Bending he kisses her on the lips, "I have misses you." He turns into an owl and flies out the window. Sarah reaches up with her hand and touches her lips, she can feel a light tingling all the way to her toes.

"Sarah? Is everything all right?" Her father is standing in the door way.

Turning towards him, "Yes fine, I was trying to figure out which of my books I should read." Walking to her bookcase, still in a daze.

"Alright, just letting you know we are home. Sleep tight sweetheart." He turns and leaves shutting her door.

Sarah sits down in her desk chair. 'Did that really happen?'

Hope you enjoy this story. Review if you think it should go on.

This is one of my favorite movies; I love the songs and story line.
