The Real Return To the Labyrinth
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*
Oh and I must give credit where credit is due. There is a ghost that lives in my dorm room who is named Jareth, (yes he is my Jareth, aka original Jareth's son). He loves to turn on Labyrinth whenever he feels like it and he loves to open and close the door. He plays with the lights and other such things. My roommate and I have no problem with this. The only problem we have is that he leaves glitter everywhere!!!!
*Jareth sprinkles glitter on my head and my computer* Deep male throaty laughter can be heard all around the room.
grrrrrrr. JARETH!
*I successfully pull his hair* *evil grin*
Anyway back to the story
The area between the two bowing trees began to glow and as Sarah watched in awe the Labyrinth slowly appeared in the space between the trees. Sarah got up from the bench instantly and walked over to the two trees. The thought that this might have been dangerous or that she might be hallucinating, never occurred to Sarah. All that mattered to Sarah at the moment was that she was being offered the chance to go back to the place that had seemed more like home then anyplace she had ever known and to see the man that had stolen her heart and had haunted her dreams.
Just as Sarah was reaching a tentative hand out to the portal she withdrew it. What am I thinking?! Who opened this a portal and why? Could Jareth being doing this and if so why and what does he expect in return? And if I return to the Labyrinth what will I have to do and will I eventually have to return here? As Sarah thought about the ramifications of her return to the Labyrinth she heard what sounded like a woman's voice saying her name. "Sarah.....", it was as if the wind was saying her name. Sarah thought that she should be scared, but the voice had been calm and soothing, and Sarah just had to ask, "Who are you and". The voice cut Sarah off before she could finish her questions. "I am the voice of the Underground. I have watched you child and I have felt your pain. I have opened this portal to the Underground so that you may return." Well that answered most of Sarah's questions, but it had also raised some others. "What do you mean you have felt my pain," Sarah asked to this invisible voice. " When you ran and defeated the Labyrinth you were bonded to it. So I feel your emotions. Also you left a part of your heart in the Underground and therefore I feel your heartache." Sarah knew that when the voice said that she had left a part of her heart, that it was referring to Sarah's love of Jareth. Oh how Sarah wanted to run and jump into the portal at the thought of Jareth, two more questions popped into her head, but before Sarah could get out a word the voice answered her questions as if reading her mind. "If the Labyrinth does not make you happy my child and you wish to leave I shall send you home. And the only payment I ask for is that you find happiness and that you bring happiness to the man who's heart you hold." Sarah was confused by what the voice said. Who's heart do I hold? Could she mean Jareth? "Enough questions my child. Go." The gentle voice penetrated Sarah's thoughts. As Sarah accepted what the voice had said, she closed her eyes and sent a silent prayer to God as she walked through the portal into the world she had left behind all those years ago.
I know this is a short chapter but I wasn't sure how much to put up and then I wanted to leave another cliff hanger.
