It had been ten years since Sarah had been to the Labyrinth and she was glad. She was sixteen when she last was there and she wasn't planing to go back. Sarah had moved out of home and lived in a small house big enough for two or at least three people. Toby was now thirteen and didn't cause Sarah much hassle. She hadn't seen much of her father or her step mother since she moved out eight years ago. Only to see Toby and for special occasions. Everything was fine until one visit at her father's.

"We are going away for a few days and we need you to look after Toby. You'll be welcome to stay here if you like." Her father's voice was firm but gentle.

"No I can't I have things to do this week."Sarah tried to plea with him.

"Sarah please just this once ."

"Fine! But I'm staying here." And that was it. I'm going to be bored and looking after a smug teenager which happens to be my dork of a brother,Toby,she thought grimly.

The day came when she had to look after Toby. Both Toby and Sarah said their goodbyes and watched their parents leave. Once gone they trailed back to the house.

"So,what do you do around here that's fun?"

"Sarah,if you came around a lot more you'd see it's so boring around here. I wish..."

"don't say anything!" Toby just looked at her strangely before he said...

"I just want excitement or something interesting to happen."

Night fell pretty quickly that night. Sarah tucked Toby into bed and was about to leave.

"Sis,could you tell me a story. Like the once you used to tell me."

Sarah froze. What was she going to say?She couldn't just tell him the truth. Could she?

"Well,I do know one. It's about a girl and the goblin prince." She begun to tell him the whole story but she did change the names. Sarah didn't want Toby to know that the baby and the girl in the story was actually them.

Once he was asleep she also headed of to her old room. Sarah felt different being in there,like she was out of place. Suddenly,a white owl appeared at her window. It kept scratching and peaking the window. Sarah went over to the window and let the owl in. Within minutes,the goblin king stood in front of her.

"Took you long enough. I'd almost started to think you weren't coming back." His voice had got more husher over time but he still looked the same,even after ten years he still looked like the first time Sarah had seen him.

"Jareth,this wasn't my idea. I would rather forgot all about you and that Labyrinth you have. So go on then,how did you find me?"

"Sarah,Sarah,Sarah do you really think I'm not going to look at for you. I still love you. You know,you could come back with me and rule goblin city with me."Jareth voice broke through everything Sarah was feeling.

"No thanks."she said shortly then ushered him out the room through the window where he came in from.

"You'll come with me in the end." then he was gone in his owl form again. Sarah shut and locked the window then went to bed. Tossing and turning as memories flooded back.
