Here are Sarah's letters. I have another chapter in mind but haven't thought of how it will be. So if you have any ideas please leave a review.
Jareth,
I saw you watching me from the window. You flew away. I'm sorry I didn't invite you in. I was afraid to.
I'm not afraid of you, even though I should. You kidnapped my brother from me. You challenged me but that isn't reason to fear you. Nor is kidnapping my brother since really you didn't, I wished it. I don't understand.
Things are so confusing to me. Anyway, you should have joined. I wanted you to but well. Take care.
Your friend,
Sarah

Jareth,
I don't know why I'm writing to you. It is weird writing to someone who well I guess hates you. I talked to Hoggle. He believes you were in love with me. Funny now thinking about it, I think you were.
I just got home from my first date. It was okay. He is a nice guy. In a few more months it will be a year since my run in your Labyrinth.
I dream about you all the time. At first I thought you were doing it but I don't know. Why would you?
Your friend,
Sarah

Jareth,
I graduated from high school yesterday. I'm entering a new chapter of my life. Can you believe it? Thanks to you I'm no longer afraid. You gave me a gift, even though I never accepted the ones you gave me during the run.
I realized that if I could beat you're challenging Labyrinth. Yeah it was no piece of cake! I could do anything. I never had that confidence before. I applied for a college. I really wanted to go to it but it is so hard to get in. And guess what Jareth? I accepted and on full ride! I don't have to pay for it.
Oh I forgot to mention. I broke up with my boyfriend. Yeah I cried about it afterwards, but I realized it wasn't anything serious. I have a whole life ahead of me and he couldn't see that. He was like a sick little puppy wanting attention all the time!
Hope you are well! And thanks again Jareth.
Love from your friend,
Sarah

Jareth,
I love walking around on campus after dark. I know it isn't a smart thing to do. I think the reason I do it is because I hear owls. Every time I hear one I stop and look around and smile. Why? Because well I hope that it is you watching me.
I ask myself why? Why do I hope it is you? I realized I love you. I think I have loved you for some time. I know you wanted me to stay. I realized that is what you meant by those last words and that pain that came across your face. It still haunts me. I realized you wanted me to stay. I couldn't. I love Toby.
Anyway. I'm dating this new guy. His name is Jason. He's older than me. It's a more stable relationship. Thankfully I need one.
I wonder if you think about me or if you have forgotten about me? I guess I'll never really know.
Love,
Sarah

Jareth,
I HAVE NEVER been so insulted in my life! That guy I told you about was a complete ass and only cared for himself. I couldn't believe how stupid I have been!
We fought. I'm sure everyone will hear that I'm a whore. Can you believe it? ME a whore! And want to know why? He thought since I wasn't sleeping with him that I must be sleeping with someone! Why not? I mean my beliefs were not important. I want to save myself for someone special but since I told him that he wasn't he figured something was up.
I hate crying but I am. It hurts. A lot. I can't stand it. He grabbed my arm really rough and it left a bruise. I don't bruise very easily either!
Love,
Sarah

Jareth,
Yet again I have been insulted by this guy. He knocked on my door wanting forgiveness. Like that is going to happen! Then he told me not to kill myself! Again like that is going to happen! Why would I kill myself if I have so much to live for?
If you were here I would have you go after him. I'm so afraid he's going to try something to me. He hurt me once he's bound to do it again.
I realized I never finished writing to you. Sorry about that. It has been a few days since I wrote what is above.
Jason got put in some institution, that's what I heard through the grapevine. He came to work raving like a lunatic that some demon was coming after him. Karma's a bitch isn't it? Even though I doubt you had anything to do with it. I like to think that you did.
It makes me feel like you are watching and will always be there for me even though I may not see you.
Love,
Sarah

Jareth,
I need to bring you up to speed on the last few days' events though I wonder if you already know.
I have been in the hospital. I had 2 seizures last weekend. It was scary. I was sitting next to one of my friends and the next thing I remember is being on the floor with a cop and an EMT right next to me.
I was rushed to the hospital in town. They took tests but didn't get anything so sent me back to campus. Later that night I had another and was yet again sent to the hospital. This time they transferred me to St. Joe (a bigger city close to here).
I don't remember much. They gave me this medicine called Keppra. For some odd reason I still can't understand they gave me the highest dose. I was so much in a fog that I didn't care or know what was going on. I just knew it wasn't right. I couldn't think. I couldn't even go to the bathroom on my own!
I kept thinking about you, the whole time. It was the only thing that kept me stable. I thought I saw an owl in my tree a few different times. I can't be sure I wasn't exactly in a responsive-type state. I thought I saw you leave. Funny I know? Why would you be here? But in spite of all that I needed you. You gave me strength.
I acted like I took the medication but really didn't. I did it twice and each time a fog was lifting. In the morning I yelled at my doctor to release me because they didn't know what was going on. She thought I was just being foolish. Well I told her I was okay. She said no one is 'okay if they had 2 seizures in a few day span.' As true as that may be, I tried to run away from the hospital.
As my friends' tell me I ninja my way out. They weren't really paying attention. I was wearing pjs and socks. Wouldn't you think it odd that someone was walking around in sleep clothes, socks, and had an IV in their arm? Well anyway. I returned because it is a 45mintue drive to campus and I didn't exactly know where I was. Stupid I know.
I guess my little disappearing ninja act worked. I was discharged the next day. I keep trying to image what you would say about it. You would probably laugh but tell me not to do things like that.
Too bad there isn't a way for you to actually get these letters. I just keep them in a notebook that I always carry. There are drawings in here too. Stupid girly stuff mainly.
I can't believe it has been 3 months since you-know-who. Life has been going fast. This semester is almost over. I wonder what the next school year will hold.
Love you much,
Sarah

Jareth,
I'm done with school and have a job now, a really good job. I'm dating again. It scares me but I think he may not turn out psycho. I wonder what would have happened if I let you in that one time. Who knows? Maybe we would have fallen in love. Maybe you would have taken me to your castle. It is just a whole lot of maybes.
I talked to Sir Didymus. He told me that you are on the brink of war. Please be careful. I guess I could give them to my Labyrinth friends but it just doesn't seem right to me. They don't visit much anyway.
They told me that you forbid anyone to say anything about me for some time but not anymore. I wonder why? I wonder how you are. I was reading my book again. I realize that I miss you.
I hope you don't forget about me. I am so scared that something is going to happen to you and my friends. Be careful, my love.
Love you dearly,
Sarah

Jareth,
Derek isn't a psycho. We are still dating. It is getting quite serious. He's been bring marriage up more.
I tried to contact my friends but it seems that you may still be in war. I keep having dreams that something terrible is going to happen to you. I wonder how you army is? I remember how it was when I was there. It didn't seem that it was anything spectacular. I mean you are great at dealing with logic and are intelligent and charismatic. So maybe it was just an off day? I hope so at least.
My 25th birthday is approaching. I'm going to go out with all my friends for a big party. If there was a way for you to know about the party I want you to come. But I guess it might not happen. But there isn't any harm in hoping right?
Love you,
Sarah

Jareth,
I just heard the war is over! Sir Didymus told me. He didn't say much. But he did say that Hoggle saved your life! When I see him I'm giving him a huge hug because if anything happened to you I don't know what I would do? Funny how that we never talk but I am in love with you, stupid Cupid.
He also told me that you have some type of agreement with a fair lady. I fear that you may be getting married. I wonder if you know about Derek then if this is just some game.
Jareth I want you here. I may be in a relationship with a great guy but he isn't you. You left a hole. I know I was the one to cause it because I didn't know how I felt with about you then. No one could replace you. If we could talk at least I would know how to move on.
Yours,
Sarah

Jareth,
I'm sitting at my favorite café waiting for Derek to come. I think he is going to pop the question. I don't know what my answer will be. I would be happy with Derek. I'm not just settling with him. He is my best friend. I do love him but not like I love you. You mean a lot more to me.
There's a guy in the corner looking over at me. I thought it was you at first but I just saw Derek came over so I didn't go over to see if it was.
I better be put this away. Talk to you later.
-Sarah
Jareth,
I didn't give him an answer. I was speechless. Can you image me speechless? I doubt it. I told him I'll think about it. I have the ring. It is very nice, a diamond on a simple gold band. I looked up when Derek knelt down and asked me. That guy looked right at me. I don't know why. He kept looking at me while writing something. He seemed upset. I hope everything is alright with him.
There's a huge storm coming. I have never seen it so bad. I'm in my new apartment. The shudders keep banging. I'm normally not afraid of being alone but right now I want you here.
I need you right now. When you have been gone pieces of my heart are gone too. I miss you, Jareth. I think we were made for each other. I believe it. I just want you to know. But you are gone and aren't coming back.
The lights just went out. I guess I'm going to write this letter in the dark with a flashlight. It is lightning really bad now too. It reminds me of our first meeting. How the door blew open and you flew in, in your owl form. I didn't know what was going on. Then with a huge flash of lightning you stood before me in your great Goblin King way. How weird it is to picture it in my head. I stood there in awe at you.
Then that dance. Oh how I loved every minute of it. Grant it I know it was to keep me from finding Toby in time but I think it was something more. That song you sang. I don't remember it but I knew it was a shock to me. That's when I started to wonder if you loved me or not.
I was young. I hope you realize that. I didn't understand what love really was. I thought you were just playing a game.
Well I don't think the lights are going to come back on anytime soon. So Good Night and if you are flying be careful out there.
Love you dearly,
Sarah
