Chapter 1: Sarah

Sarah was so happy. She had finally moved out of her parents' house and had her own place.

Sure, it was only a mediocre apartment and she had to pay rent, but it was a start.

Her plans were to have her own place, start out at the junior college near her apartment, eventually get her teaching degree, and maybe even get a boyfriend on the way.

She wanted to be a junior high English teacher. She wanted to find love, get married, and have a family. She wanted to be happy.

That wasn't too much to ask, was it?

She didn't think so. And luckily for her, life had been a lot easier since she was fifteen.

After returning home from the Labyrinth, Sarah had packed up, sold, or given away all of her toys and trinkets. She kept only two things for herself … her copy of the Labyrinth, which she had stored away in a box somewhere, and her statue of Jareth.

She only kept those two things to remind herself of her journey and of who she didn't want to be again.

Of course she didn't want to keep them to remember anything … or anybody.

Sure, her mind told her skeptically. No. Sarah had put him behind her. She was twenty years old now. Five years had passed and she knew now that a relationship with the King of the Goblins would never be possible. Sure, it might have been nice to take his offer, but it didn't mean anything. He just didn't want to lose.

He couldn't possibly have truly cared for her. No. He couldn't have.

Sarah returned to the world when she heard a knock.

Knock knock knock

"Coming!" she called. She made her way to the door and felt a sudden feeling of dread as she grasped the knob to pull it open.

Taking a deep breath, Sarah pulled open the door and nearly fainted at the sight that she saw.

There, standing right before her eyes, looking no different that five years ago, stood Jareth, the King of the Goblins.

A/N: Short, I know, but I think most of these chapters are going to be short. This story is only going to be a few chapters long. Four, maybe five, chapters long.

WARNING: This does not have a happy ending. I'm not sure why, but I just got this idea randomly. If you like it so far, let me know. If not, do what you want. I just need to get this thing outta my system. Also, this might be sort of a crappy story. I'm not entirely sure about the writing quality of it. Just let me know ... please?

Ok, so you should probably review ;)
