One morning one week later, she went walking through the park with her book. She always found it a little emotional to write about her adventure but she didn't want to forget a single moment of it. Sometimes she would be so caught up reliving her adventure that the world just seems to melt away and she would be back with all her friends again. She still called them once a week or so to get together and find out what has happened. Never at any time did she ask or her friends say anything about his highness though. She knew that they would say something if there were anything wrong or otherwise.

She walked over the bridge and sat down at a bench there. No matter where she traveled she didn't think any place would be as calming or as comforting as this spot right here. Gazing about she watched as children played, dogs fetching Frisbees for their masters', and families having picnics on the ground. Everyone seemed so satisfied with his or her lives that she felt a little at a disadvantage with herself. She felt out of place. She always had its just that the feeling just grew to where it was like a constant ache like a dull headache that just stayed with you no matter what. Even when she dreamed of her white knight, she also often wished for a real family. A place where she felt that she really belonged.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice she had company until she heard a voice behind her, calling her name. She knew that voice. It haunted her in her sleep. Especially since last week. She couldn't believe it. When he called to her again she slowly stood up and turned around, crushing her book to her heart like a shield. "Jareth."

She could not believe how handsome he looked. She thought to herself, 'Wow, I could look at him forever and still not get tired of it.' His hair was long and untamed as it ever was, falling over his shoulders. His mismatched eyes of sea green and earth brown sparkled like the crystals you always seem to find in his hands. He was wearing a white shirt opened down the front to show his emblem off. His leggings were gray with his knee-high black leather boots.

"Sarah." He said in greeting. "You've grown up in the last few years. And quite nicely too, I might add."

"Thank you." She said still quite unsure why he's standing there looking as good as ever. "May I ask, what in the world are you doing here?"

"Why Sarah, I'm here because its time you came home."

"Home? But I am home."

"No Sarah, this world isn't your home."

"What would you know about where my home is or isn't? What business of it is yours anyway?" she said getting a little upset at him.

"I know because I know you, and it is my business when your very soul calls out for the very magic my world is made of. You think I can't tell that you've spent your whole life searching but never finding a part of you that is missing. You found it. Once. And then you left leaving more then that little part behind forever part of my labyrinth, as she is now a part of you. You don't think she can't feel your pain? You think I can't? You and my labyrinth are a part of each other so she feels what you feel and since I too am a part of her I can feel you too."

"Yea, well what makes you think I want to go back?"

"You mean beside the fact you left friends behind?"

"Yes, besides that."

"Because without you the labyrinth is slowly die, and soon the labyrinth will be no more."

Later that night, she laid down in her bed thinking over what he said. He had agreed to give her until tomorrow night for her. To give her time to get her things together and say her good byes.

Sorry it took so long. I wanted it short, but not this short.

Thank you Darklady26, I had another chapter but I wasn't finished with it I didn't think.
