This is my first story, and there will be many more chapters to come, so please, R&R!
Sarah sat in her classroom, staring out the window at the trees, imagining a white owl perched on one of the branches. It had been a year since she had defeated Jareth's Labyrinth, yet it seemed like an eternity. Every day she remembered his face, the look on it when she said the words. and yet that was all she regretted. Being so cruel, what else was she supposed to do after all? Let him keep Toby? Stay there forever? No.
" Hello! Earth to Sarah!" her friend Lauren interrupting her thoughts. "I've been talking to you for five minutes. did you hear a word I said?" Lauren laughed when Sarah shook her head no. "I'm having a party Friday night. you wanna come? No 'rents, loud music, booze. or Dr. Pepper. you owe you soul to Dr. Pepper."
"Shut up!" Sarah laughed when her friend bought up the theory she had made while uber hyper on M&M's and D.P. "Yeah, I think I'll come if I can get outta the house. I might have to go monkey though." The two friends laughed at their old term for sneaking out the window and climbing down the old rope ladders they had made in elementary school. "Alright. See you tomorrow Sarah" "Later!"
Sarah was sitting on the old bench in the park, watching the people go by, when T.J. Lauren's older brother sat next to her. "Hey Sarah" he said. Sarah turned and scooted away slightly. T.J. gave her the creeps. He was too old to be leering at sixteen year olds, in her opinion. He was always staring at her and her friends. Sarah cleared her throat and replied.
"Hi TJ. What do you want?"
"What a lovely way to greet a friend." TJ said sarcastically
"Well last time I checked, you were a friends brother, not a friend, and your sole purpose is to hang around when you have better things to do and be creepy. So, what do you want?"
"I just wanted to know if your gonna be at the party Friday."
" Well I don't know why it matters to you, but I guess so."
"Well I guess I'll see you there. You know, I'll just be there, hanging around and being creepy."
"Go away TJ."
"Bye to you too" TJ replied as he got up and walked away. Sarah shuddered, glad he was gone. Since he had spoiled the mood she was in, she decided to head home.
Toby was screaming in his room, and Karen was running around making a quick dinner.
"Sarah honey!" she called and Sarah cringed.
"Yes?"
"Your dad and I are going out to dinner, and we won't be back until late, so could you be an angel for us and watch your brother?"
"Sure Karen." She called, rolling her eyes. "Not like I have much of a choice." she muttered as she ran up the stairs, threw her backpack on the floor and flopped on her bed.
She sighed and got up to figure out what she was going to wear Friday. Nothing too nice in case she has to sneak out. She picked out a black shirt with fishnet sleeves and a picture of JTHM , and a dark purple skirt with black and white striped tights and her combat boots. Karen hated her newly developed style over the past year, but frankly, she didn't give a shit.
She hung the clothes on the back of her closet door and set the boots by her vanity. She looked up into her mirror and had a sudden urge out of nowhere to talk to her friends. It had been a while anyway. "Hoggle, I need you." She whispered, closing her eyes, and turning around, flinging her arms joyfully around her friend when she heard him say
"We's been missin yous Sarah."
"Oh Hoggle, I've missed you too! How's Ludo? And Sir Dydimus?" She asked her friend, sitting on the bed beside him.
"Ludo be missin you greatly Sarah, and sir dydimus does everything in your honor." Sarah laughed when she heard of Dydimus.
"Always the honorable knight... And. how is Jareth?" Sarah asked quietly, looking at her friend's shocked face.
"Ye be askin' of the Goblin King?" Hoggle said slowly.
"Yes. How is he?"
"He's not been the best I must say"
"Oh! Is he sick? Is he hurt?"
"Of a sort." Hoggle said quietly.
"What's wrong Hoggle? What happened to him?" Sarah asked, concerned.
"I best not say, lest I anger him."
"Please Hoggle..." Sarah was cut off by a knock at her door, and Hoggle disappeared.
"Come in!" Sarah called, slightly irritated by her conversation being cut short. Sarah's dad stuck his head in.
"We're leaving honey. Be back around eleven, dinner's ready when you want it."
"Thanks dad" she said before her door closed and she heard Karen start the car. Sarah wandered into Toby's room, book in hand. The book was small and red, with old, golden lettering across the front.
"Hey big guy." She said, walking into his room. Toby looked up from his gargantuan toddler's Lego's and smiled, sticking his hand into his mouth. He saw the book and reached for it, making grabbing motions with his hands.
"You want me to read you a story?" Toby scrambled up onto his little bed with all the grace of a toddler, and waited patiently for Sarah to sit down.
"Ready?" she asked, and he nodded enthusiastically. Sarah opened the book and began to read.
The gigantic stone room was dark. In the middle of it, stood a throne. From the throne a single, soft light shone. There was a man in the throne, one leg draped lazily over the side. He was twirling a crystal balanced on his fingers. The lone occupant of the room hadn't moved in hours, eaten or slept in weeks, and hadn't checked on his beloved Sarah for five minutes. He summoned her image in the crystal, watching her read from the book containing his world, his fate. Entertaining her baby brother, and committing it to memory.
He couldn't stand the lack of contact anymore. He was weak, not being able to withstand her, showing emotion. He sent the crystal away, and transformed, flying away into the night. Landing on her windowsill, he took shape of the goblin king again, and he waited in her room, for her to enter his life again.
Sarah looked over at her baby brother, asleep in his bed. She smiled, and pulled his blanket over him before shutting off his light and leaving his room. She opened her door, and sighed as she tossed the book onto her bed, then her eyes widened and she let out a small scream as she realized her bed wasn't empty.
She saw the leather boots first, the ones he always wore, then her eyes traveled up to see a pair of skintight black leather pants, then made the conclusion they must be stuffed. Her eyes continued to travel to see a silver gray poet's shirt, open at the waist, a pale perfect chest, his emblem on his necklace, and then, his eyes. His mismatched yet perfect eyes.
"Hello Sarah." He purred.
