Okay Hi to whomever actually reads this. This is my first fanfiction, but I write stories as a side interest amongst all the other things I do in my life. I am completely obsessed with Labyrinth and I proudly admit it. * Smiles proudly*. Anyway please review and tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I have never done one of these, but as I have seen it done before. I Do Not Own Labyrinth or any of the characters from the movie. In later chapters there will be some characters that are of my creation, but they shall come later.

Also I would like to make it clear that although Sarah possesses the heart of the original Jareth, I possess the heart of their child, who is also consequently named Jareth and looks just like the original one but has brown hair with white and silver highlights. *sigh*

Anyway let me know what you think.

The Real Return To the Labyrinth

It had been nine years since Sarah had saved Toby from Jareth and returned home. Nine years since she had been to the Underground and seen her friends. Nine years of thinking and dreaming of what life would have been like if she had never said that final line. "You have no power over me," it seemed like such a simple line, childish really, but at the time that line was the difference between losing Toby and herself or defeating Jareth, the all powerful Goblin King. Yet still after all these years Sarah couldn't stop thinking about what Jareth had said to her before she broke his world, "Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave." Oh if only she had realized what he had truly been offering her. She may have been happy there, living with Toby, away from her stepmother. After she returned from the Labyrinth things had gotten worse. Although Sarah had a new appreciation for Toby and loved to be with him her stepmother forced her to be like a second mother to Toby and on top of that she forced Sarah to take care of everything in the house, as if she was the lady of the house, except her stepmother had all the power. Her father was no help either. He brushed off Sarah's complaints as her acting spoiled. He was barely home so he didn't see everything Sarah was forced to endure and when he was home her stepmother was nothing but smiles and sweetness, so that Sarah's father was lead to believe that Sarah was just being a teenager.

As soon as Sarah turned 18 she left for college and she was thrilled. Sarah had decided to attend a local college that was local enough that she could visit Toby and the park that she used to play at as a young girl, but was far enough away that she could dorm there. Those years had been paradise for her because she was away from her stepmother, but then college ended and Sarah had trouble. She had found an apartment easily enough, but she had had trouble finding a job to make money to pay the rent. Sarah went from job to job, some places taking her on only for a short amount of time while another employee was sick or on leave, and then she was let go once those employees returned or when the company realized they didn't really need her or couldn't afford another employee. Sarah was running out of money and unfortunately she was behind in rent and the landlord, who was a greasy portly man who always stared at Sarah in lewd ways, had told her that she had to pay up soon or get out. Sarah, however, had no where to go. She couldn't go home because her stepmother had made it abundantly clear that Sarah was not welcome and Sarah's father had done nothing to defend his daughter. Sarah also didn't really have any friends who could help her out, in fact she barely had any real friends. Now a days the only people Sarah referred to as friends were random classmates from college, who she didn't really know on a personal basis outside of the classroom.

The reality and depressing nature of her situation hit Sarah full force. She couldn't believe how unhappy and depressing her life had become after she left the Labyrinth. It seemed that she no longer fit in her own world, she yearned for something more then what she had which, consequently, wasn't very much. She reflected on how the Labyrinth had truly changed her and empowered her even though she had only been there for what had been five hours, her time. Sarah missed her friends from the Labyrinth, friends who had risked everything to help her save Toby. Sarah missed the enchanting land and shocking yet endearing creatures from the Labyrinth. But most of all, Sarah missed the feeling of being home she had while being in the Labyrinth, and the ruler who had not only stolen her brother but had stolen her heart and made her feel wanted and loved. Although Sarah was still miffed at Jareth for all that he put her through she had long ago admitted to herself that she had fallen in love with Jareth and that she had made the worst mistake of her life when she had thrown his declaration of love back at him and destroyed his world.

Sarah walked to the park bench and relaxed into its familiar embrace. Sarah had always loved coming to the park and sitting on the same exact bench. This area of the park always seemed to hold an enchanted quality to it. Perfectly placed behind the park bench were two trees that were entwined at the tops but then bowed out from each other, creating somewhat of a round portal into the woodsy part of the park. Sarah loved this part of the park. When she was younger, before her real adventure, Sarah used to pretend that she was in the Labyrinth and that she had finally made it to the castle. As Sarah would recite the lines she would always get stuck on that last line, " You have no power over me", a stupid line which at the time seemed insignificant, but which later had the power to bring down the all powerful Goblin King. Oh how she wished she could go back to the Labyrinth and see her friends again and to let Jareth know that she was stupid and prove to him how much see truly loved him back. Sarah silently sobbed as she pulled her legs onto the bench and huddled as the sobs slowly wracked her entire body.

Whether hours had passed or merely minutes, she didn't know or truly cared, but as Sarah raised her head from its resting place on her knees she saw the most miraculous thing.

So what do you all think of my first chapter? The following chapters will vary in length depending on how the story flows. Please give me feedback. Thanks
