Here is another one-shot or 500 word drabble. This is based off an idea I had while reading my copy of the first Labyrinth script (bought off eBay) and I thought it would be a good idea for a story. In the script, there were many differences between the script and movie. I only used one and it was a gallery that (I think) was part of the Labyrinth. I consider this as an early birthday (20/04) present to myself as it was fun writing this.

My beta suggests I continue this story as she saw as a first chapter. Do you think I should leave as it is or continue the story? I'm going to leave it as completed until I decide on what I'm going to do.

Enjoy.

I do not own any part of Labyrinth. It belongs to Jim Henson, Terry Jones, Brian Froud, and George Lucas.

Not listening to the worm, Sarah kept travelling down the path she chose first. This is easier than I thought, she thought brightly.

She looked straight ahead and noticed that the top of the castle was right in front of her, and the brick walls were starting to disappear as she walked on. The castle was not a pretty sight, but its' King… Sarah did not allow her mind to ponder on any further. She just had to save Toby in time. What a complete idiot she had been for asking that the goblins take him away.

The walls around had completely disappeared, and the castle was in a clear view. Sarah smiled widely. She broke into a run.

Time seemed to move quickly and before she knew it she was in front of the huge gate. Sarah proudly walked up to doors and pushed with all of her strength.

Sarah was expecting to see the Goblin City and maybe an army to stop her, but what she saw now was far from what she had expected. It was not the city or an army full of goblins, but a large room with many paintings hung on its walls.

The first painting she saw was of a baby surrounded by disgusting goblins. She moved closer and saw that the baby looked exactly like Toby. It is Toby! Sarah was absolutely horrified and choked back a sob. She moved to the next painting, it was a clock with thirteen hours on it. The hour hand was pointed at the nine. She bit her lip hard as she thought. She only has nine hours left!

She quickly moved to the next painting, and gasped. The wall in front of her hung a very compelling painting of Jareth. Not being able to control her self, she moved closer. It was so life-like, he stood tall, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Sarah couldn't describe. Her eyes absently travelled to his lips. His lips were thin and pink. Something gleamed from his bottom lip, Sarah noticed it was glitter.

She raised her hand to wipe off the glitter, as her thumb was nearing the painting, she heard someone yell her name. Startled, she jumped back from the painting and searched around her. On the other side of the room was a painting with a hedge maze. She walked closer to it and saw a figure waving.

"Hoggle!" she exclaimed. "What are you doing inside this painting?"

"Missy! Over here! This is the way to the castle!" he yelled, ignoring her question.

"How do I get there?"

"Go through the painting," he said.

Through the painting? The only question was 'how?' She then noticed the paintings surface was rippling. She raised her hand and put it through the painting. She smiled as she saw it disappear. She then walked through the painting and her whole body disappeared.

---

As Sarah moved away from the painting, Jareth exhaled slowly and closed his eyes. That was really close. He now saw her move through the painting; he then pulled out a crystal ball and noticed she safely arrived in the hedge maze… with that stupid dwarf.

He discarded the crystal ball, and raised a gloved thumb to his bottom lip, caressed it and noticed there was glitter on his glove.

The End.
