This is my first Lybrinth story and i had to writ one! Reviews plz! Thanks :)
I DO NOT OWN ANY LABYRINTH CHARACTERS OR ITS ACTUAL STORY!
Its been six years since Sarah's adventure through the Labyrinth, and alot has changed. But she still cant seem to forget about the Goblin King. She still gets visits from her friends of the Underground, but why does she still see this familiar owl?
Sarah layed on her bed, she still lived with her parents and held a job as a librarian at the local library. Her home-life hasn't changed much and it really didnt bother her.
At the moment her thoughts were all about the Goblin King. His face, how one eye was green and the other brown, and the moments they were together during the Labyrinth. Why does he distract me so? She suddenly heard a flutter outside her window. She walked over to it and saw the barn owl perched on its tree branch.
"That owl looks so familiar." But it couldnt be, she defeated the Goblin King. The only other fom he took was of an owl. "Jareth?"
The owl crooked his head as if to answer her.
"It is you isnt it?"
The owl hooted.
Sarah opened the window, the cold fall breeze filling her room. "What do you want?"
The owl merly blinked.
Sarah stared at him. She then noticed something different, was there saddness in his eyes?
Sarah gave a puzzled look. "What wrong?" She couldnt be feeling sorry for him? Could she?
The owl ruffled his feathers.
Sarah sighed, "It it cold out here. You can come in if you want." She stepped back to give him some room.
The owl turned his head to the side, Is this a trick? She does seem to be serious. He flew into her room and percher on her chair.
Sarah closed the window. She turned to the owl, "Well arent you going to turn into yourself? Or cant you?" Is he scared of me?
The owl flew to the floor only to be replaced by Jareth himself, he was turned away from Sarah. "Why are you being so nice to me?" his silky voice filled her ears.
"Well its cold out there!" Sarah crossed her arms. "Why do you keep sitting at my window? "
Jareth turned to her and smiled. "Now is not the time." Oh how he wanted to tell her the words of his heart, but he was afriad she would turn him away like last time. That was the worst moment of his life. Sure, its happened to him countless times by different women, but there was something about Sarah.
Sarah huffed. 'Fine. But you will tell me."
"I promise. Its late, You should sleep."
"Im not a kid anymore, i can stay up as long i like." In all honesty she didnt want him to leave, she didnt want to be alone. Why was she feeling like this for him all of a sudden? Maybe its just the fact i dont want the Underground to be just a memory. But why isnt that a satisfying answer?
Jareth knodded. He watched Sarah in thought. "If im bothering you, i apologize. I will leave if you wish me too."
Sarah shook her head, "No, sorry, my mind was just a little foggled."
Jareth chuckled.
Sarah looked at him in suprise. Did he just laugh? Sarah went to her bed and sat down in the middle by her pillows. She patted the a spot my the edge for him to sit.
Jareth couldnt belive what he was seeing. She hates me, why is she being to nice? Nonetheless, he didnt want to mkae her unhappy, so he took her request. Once he sat down he turned to her, "Sarah, why are you being nice to me?"
"Why do you keep asking me that?" She asked in a gentle voice.
Jareth just looked into her eyes. God shes so beautiful! I wish she would let me be hers forever, i will be anything and give anything for her. If only she would just let me, i cant live without you Sarah!
Sarah saw the hurt and was taken back, it was then she realized. It must be because of what happened six years ago. She didnt realize what the true meaning behind those last words she said to him really meant and that he made her go throught the Labyrinth to save her baby brother, and now she was treating him like none of that happened. So thats why hes confused. Sarah gave a small smile. "Because, i dont hold grudges. what was in the past is in the past. And, im sorry."
Jareth looked at her in shock, "Sorry? Sarah, why are you sorry?" You can tell me anything.
"That i was so mean to you during the Labyrinth." Sarah turned her head away, tears threatned to fill her eyes. Why am i feeling remorseful? He did try and turn my brother into a goblin. I had to fight through his Labyrinth, but now i realize, there was never true dangers. I dont think he wouldve put me through any real danger. But its over now and hes still here. Buy why?
Jareth sighed, "Sarah you had every reason too. I just never expected you to forgive me."
Sarah smiled.
That sweet smile, so beautiful! Jareth returned the smile. He then looked away and stared at the other wall. For so long he longed to be with her, for so long he watched over her. Now he has her so near but lacked the courage to tell her how he felt. Why he sits every night by her window. Why he returns to her, despite if she hasnt figured it out on her own. Its too soon right now, i dont want to frighten her.
"Jareth?"
He loved it when she called him by his true name.
"What wrong?" Sarah looked at him with concern.
He didnt realize how long he was in thought. "Oh sorry. Nothing." He gave a half crooked smile.
Something about that smile made Sarahs heart melt. What are these feelings? I must be loosing my mind. But i never want to be here without him. His beautiful eyes, and that charming smile. She smiled back. Suddenly yawning.
"Bed." Jareth got up and made for the window. "And i must get back to the Goblin City. Their hopeless without someone to keep them in order."
"Wait!"
Jareth turned in suprise. She she just call for him?
"Will you come back tomorrow?" Sarah pleaded in her eyes. Whats wrong with me? She longed for him to embrace her. What wrong with me! He is the Goblin King after all!
A smile slowly formed on his face. "I promise." With that he took to his owl form and flew away into the night.
Sarah lay back into her pillows and smiled. She closed her eyes and the memory of the masquerade ball Jareth tricked her into years ago, filled her dreams.
