I hope you like this story. In case you didn't know. "NRCP" means "No rude comments please" As you all know I do not own anything from the Labyrinth.
"Oh Sarah, you look beautiful." Karen said looking at her step daughter in her white wedding dress. Sarah looked in the mirror. The top part was a white corset and the bottom part was a white skirt. Through out the whole dress there was light sparkles that wouldn't fall off. She tugged on her vail that had a built in tiara. Her hair had long curls in it that went down to her mid back.
"You really think so?" asked Sarah.
"Of course you do." her real mother Linda said. Sarah was glad that Karen and her Mother had finally made peace. It took years for them to stop arguing, but it finally happened. "I know you will make a wonderful wife. I can tell he loves you more then he loves himself, and I can tell you feel the same way, don't you." it wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Sarah put a huge grin on her face and had a slight blush. "Of course I do."
"Then warm up your cold feet." Karen said, placing his hands on her shoulders. "He is waiting down there for you." Sarah gave a nervous smile. They heard a knock at the door. Someone said "It's time." but Sarah didn't see who.
Sarah turned around and headed towards the door. "Don't forget your bouquet." Linda said handing her the red roses and baby's breath bouquet. Sarah slowly took it and went out the door. She saw her step mother and her mother rush towards their seat. Sarah pulled her vail over face and took a deep breath. She had dated Derek since she was 18. She never thought she would fall so much in love with to marry him at 23. But here she was, going to marry the man of her dreams. She always thought that the man the she would always love would be the man that was in her imagination. Jareth the Goblin King. But she got over him as she grew up, knowing he is not real.
Sarah's heart sped up when she heard the piano organ music playing "Here comes the bride." She looked to her right where her father Robert was and put her right hand in his arm, with her bouquet in her left. They slowly walked down the aisle. She slowly took in her surroundings at the alter. She saw Derek's five year old sister holding her basket full of flowers. She was the cutsest flower girl. She saw Toby at 10 years old looking spiffy in his black tux holding the rings on a red silk pillow, she saw her best friend Melanie who was the maid of honer in a red silk dress and Sarah's 15 year old cousin in a matching gown. They were both holding white roses. She looked at Derek's older brother who was his best man and Derek's cousin who was 17. And last but not least she saw Derek. Smiling his beautiful smile. She saw from across the room his beautiful piercing blue eyes with his dark black hair. Sarah gulped, he was so beautiful, and soon she was going to be all his.
She finally reached the alter. She took Derek's left hand in her right hand and waited for the minister to talk. "Dearly beloved, we gather here today in holy matrimony to wed Derek Smith to Sarah Williams." the priest continued to talk for a while about marriages and some things from the bible. Sarah tuned him out most of the time and just stared at Derek. She thought of how their life would be, how many kids they were going to have, and how pleasurable he would be at night. It wasn't until the minister spoke to Sarah that she got back to reality. "Sarah Williams, repeat after me. I Sarah Williams."
"I Sarah Williams."
"Take Derek Smith."
"Take Derek Smith."
"To be my lawful wedded husband" he licked his fingers and turned the page.
"To be my lawful wedded husband"
"Through out life and sickness and health."
"Through out life and sickness and helath."
The minister turned toward Derek. "Derek Smith. Repeat after me. I Derek Smith."
"I Derek Smith."
"Take Sarah Williams."
"Take Sarah Williams."
"To be my lawful wedded wife."
Derek turned toward Sarah more and said,"To be my lawful wedded wife."
"Through out life, and sickness and health."
"Through out life, and sickness and health."
The minister turned toward Sarah again. "Do you Sarah Williams,take Derek Smith to be your lawful wedded husband?"
"I do." Sarah's voice cracked. She felt the tears coming. Derek held her hand tighter and stroked her hand with his thumb to support her.
He turned toward Derek. "Do you Derek Smith,take Sarah Williams, to be your lawful wedded wife?"
"I do." he said with a huge grin.
"You may now exchange the rings." Toby came up with the red pillow. Sarah took Derek's ring that was a simple white gold band with a diamond in the middle. And Derek took Sarah's that was white gold with a big diamond that had curly cues with diamonds within them on the band. Sarah took Derek's left hand and placed it on his third finger. Derek did the same.
"Now if there is anyone that objects to this union." the minister went on. "Speak now, or forever hold your peace." There was a slight pause until they heard. "I OBJECT!" echo through out the whole church. Everyone looked around the room. Sarah knew that voice, it belonged to someone she thought wasn't real. She heard that voice long ago and she never thought she would hear that voice ever again. Sarah jumped when the doors to the church were slammed opened and the wind came rushing in. There was sparkled everywhere and Sarah heard a slight musical chime. There was a slight fog, and through that fog walked in with all his glory, the Goblin King.
Sarah looked at him with disbelief. He the same black armour that he wore in the Escher Room. Sarah flipped up the front of her vail behind her head, making sure she was seeing things clearly.
Jareth walked quickly toward Sarah and grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing? Let go of my wife!" Derek yelled pulling Sarah towards him.
"As I recall, she isn't your wife yet. The minister didn't say man and wife yet." Jareth said, yanking her toward him.
"Let go of her you bastard!" Derek said trying to pull her. Jareth brought out his left hand and bent his fingers to look like talons. He put out his hands towards Derek. Then all of a sudden Derek collapsed cringing on the floor. He was screaming in pain. Sarah's eyes filled up with tears and looked up at Jareth who was smirking a satisfied smirk.
"NO!" Sarah yelled trying to push down his arm. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HIM?"
"Just teaching him a lesson. He will learned to never defy me!"
"Please! Stop!" Jareth put down his arm and pulled Sarah toward him. He looked down at her "You are mine Sarah." then he pulled his cape around to cover them, and in a puff of smoke. Disappeared.
Derek got up. "No Sarah!" he cried. He ran over to where they were. He turned around around. "Where are they?" the whole room was quiet. They were all to schocked and terrified to do anything else.
Toby stepped up. "I don't know where she is. But I know who that man is." everyone looked at Toby.
"Toby!" Karen said shocked. "How could you possibly know that man?"
"I remember. But just vaguely. It's all fuzzy. I think I knew him when I was a baby. It's all coming back to me now. He is a King. But I can't remember of what."
Derek walked up to Toby. "Please, tell me all you can." he begged.
"I don't remember much. I was a baby afterall. All I can remember from that long ago was that man and a small bergudny book."
"The Labyrinth?" asked Linda. Toby shrugged.
"Yes I remember." Robert said. "Sarah was obsessed with that book. She always acted it out. Always saying the last line ecspecially. I was something about someone giving her a child back. She always use to say she wished the character from the story was real."
"Who was this character?" asked Derek.
"It was something like a Goblin King."
"That's it!" Toby said excited. "That's who is. He is the King of the Goblins."
"Toby don't be rediculous." Karen said. "He is a character from a story."
Derek didn't know why, but he believed the little boy. It was the only explanation for what happend. He knelt down so he was eye level with Toby. "Where is this book?"
"I don't know. Somewhere in Sarah's room.
Derek shot up and grabbed the boys hand. "Come. We must search for it.
Jareth and Sarah arrived in Jareth's throne room. Sarah looked around the room, then turned toward Jareth and pushed him. "How dare you! Why would you do this to me? Why am I here?"
Jareth was angry now. "How dare I? How dare you? I give you my heart and soul and then 8 years later you go off and marry a mortal? How could you do this to me?" he asked pointing his hand towards himself.
"I didn't love you Goblin King. I love Derek. And you took him away from me."
"Well." he said putting his hands on his hips. "Now you know how it feels having something you desperatly love taken away from you."
"What am I doing here King?" she said again, clenching her jaw and hands.
Jareth frowned. He didn't like how she addressed him. "You are here. Woman! Because you belong to me. I claimed you 8 years ago and now I'm making sure that no one could have you. I have bee generous Sarah and let you date, but marrying someone is where I draw the line."
He looked at Sarah. She wasn't looking at him, she just stared at the ground, but what caught his eye made him angry. "Give me your hand."
Sarah looked up. "No." she said sternly.
"Yes!" he wreched her left hand up and uncleched her hand. Sarah tried to keep her fist closed but couldn't. He tore it open and pulled off her wedding ring. Sarah tried to take it out of his hand but it was to late. He dropped it on the ground and stomped on it. When he lifted his foot it was completely ruined. "NO!" Sarah cried. The tears coming to her face.
"You will now wear this ring as your engagement ring." he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a ring that looked like it was made completely out of diamonds. Sarah clenched her fist again. He grabbed her hand again, but Sarah fought back as hard as she could. But of course he was much stronger and brought her hand up and unclenched her fist. He forcefully crammed the ring on her finger. Sarah tried to pull it off but it wouldn't budge.
"I am not marrying you Goblin King."
"I beg to differ my dear. We are going to get married a week from now. And your dress and your wedding will be much more extravigant then this one."
"I won't agree to it."
"Oh yes you will." he pulled Sarah towards him and crammed his mouth on hers. It was a hard bruising, punishing kiss. He forcefully shoved his tongue in which Sarah didn't like at all. When the time was right she bit down hard, so hard that it drew blood."
Jareth yelled and cussed. He grabbed Sarah by her forearms. "How dare you!" he let go of one of her arms and lead her up hundreds of stairs. He opened one of the doors and threw her in. She looked and saw it was a bed chamber.
"You are to sleep with me. Of course I will expect many things from you while in bed, if not willingly, then I am more then happy to force you. You will stay in here, I get other matters to attend to." then he slammed the door shut. Sarah heard the tumblers in the door lock.
She ran towards the door and banged on it with her fist. "LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" Sarah knew it was no use. She was stuck here. She sat down at spent her entire time hopelessly trying to pull the ring off.
"It's got to be in here somewhere." Toby said looking through Sarah's things under her bed.
Derek searched through all her bookshelfs. "Are you sure Toby?"
"Yes I'm sure. She would never give that book away."
Derek walked over to her vanity. He opened one of the drawers. There was a whole bunch of stuff in it. There were playbills from plays she went to, a picture of her mother, a music box with a girl in a puffy pink dress, and aha! the book. "Toby I found it!"
Toby got up from the floor and ran over to Derek. "Yes that's it." he looked at the cover which said 'The Labyrinth.'
Derek skimmed the pages for some kind of clue for him to know what he could do to rescue her. One line caught his eye. "Toby." he said turning to him. " It says, 'what no one knew was that the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl.' is that girl Sarah?" Toby shrugged.
"Probably. But I bet it says that in every copy."
"Yes but he may have been referring to her."
Toby shrugged again. "Maybe. Keep going."
Derek continued to skim."Listen to this Toby.'The Goblin King could not refuse anyone the chance to run his Labyrinth in order to give back someone that he had taken.'"
"Do you think it will work? Do you think the Goblin King will let you?"
"It's worth a try. But I don't know what to do or say that will make him come here."
"I do! I remember her saying the words to me when I was a baby!"
"What is it!"
"You have to say 'I wish' then say the thing that you want."
"I've said 'I wish' about many things Toby in my life. They never came true." Derek objected.
"Maybe you have to refer to the Goblins or the Goblin King."
"Maybe. It's worth a try. Why is it that you are just remembering all of this? Ecspecially when you were just a baby when it happend?"
"I have no idea. It's like what happend in that story actually happend."
"I don't know. But it doesn't really matter right now. All that matters right now is getting Sarah back."
Toby nodded. "Right. Now say the words Derek."
Derek nodded back and took a deep breath. "I wish the Goblin King would come here, right now."
