Author's Notes: Hey folks I'm back! I'm getting to update a lot quicker than I thought…thank god for holiday breaks. I wanted to thank all who read and reviewed my fanfic and I'm happy that you're intrigued. To answer a question, yes I believe Jareth does in fact have different colored eyes. Either one is a dark brown or blue and one is a light blue. Or at least that is how it appears. Actually I read somewhere that David Bowie had an accident concerning his eye and I believe his right eye suffers from a permanently enlarged pupil so it appears that Jareth's eye are different colors. I just think it makes the character more interesting so I'm going with the different colored eyes theory. And as for the first chapter being difficult to read because it was underlined I apologize. When I uploaded it, the chapter wasn't underlined nor did I intend it too. It just appeared like that, but I'll try to prevent that in the future. Now on with the story!

Chapter 2: Kidnapped

"Now Sarah we're only going to be gone for a few hours, but are you sure that's ok? You've been very helpful lately with Toby and we don't want you to feel like we're taking advantage of you." Sarah's father said as he pulled on his jacket, her step mom checking her purse for essentials.

Sarah shrugged her shoulders," No it's ok, don't worry. I had nothing better to do anyway. Probably just get some homework done." The sixteen year old stood at the top of the stairs, her long dark hair framing her face.

"Well alright. You have the emergency numbers. Call us if you need anything. Watch over Toby. You know the rules." The couple began to walk out the front door as Sarah rolled her emerald eyes. As the door was closing her father poked his head back in, his stern face looking up at her wearing a kind smile. "I know I don't have to tell you to be careful."

"C'mon Dad we've been through this. You guys have fun. We'll be ok." She watched as his head disappeared and the door closed behind him with a soft click. Sarah's pink lips curved in a small smile as she walked into Toby's room where he quietly played in his pen. "Well Toby, it's just you and me again." The baby looked up at her, sky blue eyes shimmering and silky curls surrounding his cherubic face. Sarah laughed, "I'm telling you Toby, when you get to be my age, you're going to be a little heartbreaker."

She looked down at what was currently amusing her half brother and froze. It was a rather large stuffed doll with flaming red, orange, and yellow feathers. Its beak opened in a silent cackle. Sarah blinked, memories of birds attempting to tear her apart flashed before her. She shook her head, trying to block them out.

It had been four months since her and Toby's descent into the Labyrinth. She had succeeded in beating the Goblin King's game and brought her brother back. It was hard to believe that anyone could have matured so much over such a short period of time. But Sarah's successful rescue mission made her realize that she was no longer a child. Her old toys and books were safely tucked away. Small trinkets either handed down to Toby or saved for her future children.

So Sarah helped out more around the house, her once icy demeanor around her step-mom and Toby had slowly thawed into diminutive affection. Her constant complaining had ceased and she grew more responsible. The girl had finally morphed into a young woman.

"Stay right there, Toby, I'm going to fix us some dinner." Sarah said to her younger sibling. Blue eyes gazed back at her in awe and wonder. She smiled and bounded down the stairs and into the kitchen. She was in the middle of making a sandwich for herself, when she heard a loud bang in the cabinet.

Sarah jumped, startled, her green eyes wide, her heart thudding loudly.

She listened, frozen to the spot where she had been standing. Silence filled the room like a thick smoke.

BANG!

More curious than frightened, she leapt toward the noise and jerked open the cabinet door. Silver pots and pans gleamed back at her. Empty.

She could see her face reflected in the metal bowls, incredulous and confused.

Sarah stood up and closed the wooden door. She was about to shrug it off and continue with dinner when a high pitched mischievous giggle erupted from the other room. She felt her body stiffen with recollection.

Not again…

She screamed loudly when something black and scaly ran across her bare feet. It streaked by too fast she didn't a good look at it. But she knew it was no rat.

Then the lights in the kitchen began flickering on and off. Dark shadows zooming around her quaking form. Brushing against her. Knocking things over. Cackling madly.

"Toby!" she screamed as she burst forward, out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

Please be ok, please be ok!

Sarah burst through the door to her baby step-brother's room to find his innocent sky blues and rosy cheeks were no longer looking at her. He was no where to be seen. She took a cautious step in the room, quickly scanning the empty room, praying that she was wrong and that Toby was hiding somewhere.

White snow stuffing, and fire colored shreds littered the room. She gasped when she stepped on the remains of a clothed beak. The doll that Toby had been playing with.

No way Toby did this…

A low guttural chuckle sounded behind her. She quickly whirled around to find a tall, frightening form holding the still body of Toby. Her eyes widened in fear and shock. Something about this man was very familiar….

But it couldn't be…

"Jareth?" she said softly, scanning his features carefully. The Goblin King had definitely changed. His once sleek, platinum blonde locks were wild and streaked with ebony. His skin was almost as pale as the morning snow, untainted by mud or the gray of day. His cheeks and chin seemed to jut out more. Sharper and more defined. But it was his eyes that terrified Sarah the most. No longer different shades of blue but of melted blood. Surrounded by thick heavy black kohl. They were the eyes of death.

He scowled at her, still cradling Toby in his leather adorned arms. "So the child remembers the Boogeyman." He spoke to her, his voice a strange throaty growl, dripping with sarcasm.

Sarah was at a loss for words. What was he doing here? How did he come back?

She took a tentative step towards Jareth, her eyes trained on the seemingly unconscious baby.

She yelped when Jareth and Toby morphed into black smoke and swirled wildly around her. Automatically she reached out and tried to grasp something. Anything.

Suddenly the smoke gathered at the open window of Toby's bedroom and Jareth reformed, leaning casually against the sill. Little Toby was still grasped in his hands, unmoving. Jareth leered up at her, his newly sharpened teeth gleaming with malice.

"Let's not try that again, shall we?" With that, he quickly transferred Toby to his other arm, dangling him out the open window!

"No! Don't!" Sarah started forward, arms outstretched.

"You wouldn't want your dear parents to come home and find poor Toby splattered all over the drive way now, would you? Then stay there!" The goblin king growled, his grotesque eyes glaring at her from across the room. Sarah stopped suddenly, and bit her tongue, returning his gaze.

What the hell does he want?

The Goblin King smirked at her and pulled Toby back through the window. "Good girl. Now then, little Sarah, I have a proposition for you-"

"Look I don't care about your damn proposition, just give me my brother back!" Sarah cut him off, her hands curling into fists.

Within seconds, Jareth's taunting face contorted into a mask of fury. He raised his left hand and before her eyes, his fingernails sharpened to deadly points. His crimson eyes flashing dangerously. "You might want to hold your tongue, you impertinent child, or else his blood will be on your hands." With that he brought his clawed hand down to Toby's flawless face, slicing his cheeks, small rivulets of blood running down.

"Please stop! I'll do anything just please don't hurt Toby anymore…" Sarah glared at the Goblin King as he casually smeared the blood on the baby's cheeks. Toby, luckily wasn't aware of any of this. He chuckled darkly which ran a icy chill down Sarah's back.

"I was so hoping you would say that." Came the belligerent reply and with the wave of his hand ,Sarah was knocked back by some invisible force. As soon as her back smacked the floor painfully, tiny dark hands swarmed her from all sides. Grunting, wheezing, heckling , dripping goblins holding her on all sides. Sarah tried desperately to kick them off, but there were far too many. Several pairs of yellow orbs looking down at her mirthlessly. She yelled out in anguish when she felt herself begin to melt through the floor, descending into blackness below. The hands continued to hold Sarah's thrashing body as the lot of them began to leave her world behind.

The last thing she saw was the demon king softly laying her now healed baby brother in his crib, his face an eerie mask of satisfaction.

"TOBY!!!!!!"
