The bright and cheerful morning light shined through the ripped curtains. A body curled up in a pathetic manner roused ungratefully at the rays. Sarah clenched her eyes tighter as the light engulfed her. Opening them slightly she tried to remember why she was on the floor when it suddenly came back to her.

A heart-wrenching cry escaped from her small mouth and she curled up tighter. 'They're gone.' She thought with anguish holding tight to her soul, 'They're never coming back.' Because she had cried so many tears the night before, all she could do was let her body shake with sorrow.

'How could he die? How could he? He's immortal! He was supposed to be here forever!' She screamed in her head, 'How am I supposed to live without them?!' She dug her nails into her palms as she clenched her fists as tight as she could.

Hours seemed to pass as she laid on the floor in misery. It was only when her alarm clock went off that she knew she had to go to work. She looked at the upside down blue clock on the floor with disdain. 'To hell with work,' She thought pitifully.

"To hell with everything," She whispered hoarsely with hate, "There's no point."

She looked at her room from her position and felt satisfaction at the catastrophe she caused. Her room was in utter chaos and she enjoyed it. Suddenly she rose from her position and stood up.

She looked at her mirror and saw the large crack through the middle she made. She gasped aloud when she caught her reflection. "No!" It was gone. The special gleam about her had vanished. Her eyes were murky green unlike the vibrant emerald they once were. Her skin no longer had an iridescent look to it. She was plain again, average. Her heart broke even more at the sight.

She grabbed her now broken music box from the ground and slammed it into the mirror. "NO!" Sarah screamed.

It was over. Magic no longer existed and all her beautiful dreams had disappeared.

"It can't end like this! YOU HEAR ME?! IT CAN'T!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Her mind raced at a dizzying pace. She went through every thought until an idea struck her.

"I wish the goblins would come take me away, RIGHT NOW!" She shouted with a smile.

Nothing happened.

"I WISH THE GOBLINS WOULD COME TAKE ME AWAY! RIGHT! NOW!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Silence reigned through the broken room and waves of rage could be felt coming off the broken-hearted girl. She dropped to her knees because her new exhaustion and shook her head.

"It can't be true," She whispered sadly. "I wish it wasn't true." Silence took over again and she added hatefully, "But if wishes were horses beggars would ride."

"Sarah," A familiar voice called to her, "It won't do no good actin' like this."

Her head shot up and she saw Hoggle sitting on her bed, "H-Hoggle?! Is it you?!" She jumped and ran to give him a hug only to pass through him.

"I's had a feelin' that would happen," He said sadly, "I ain't nothing but a dream you have now."

"What's going on?!" Sarah asked as she felt her sanity slowly slipping, "Is it really true?"

"I's afraid so Sarah," He answered, "Jareth died last night. Which means us folk are no more. We were only here 'cause of him."

"How are you here now? Have I gone insane?" She asked with fear and desperation in her eyes.

"I's here 'cause you needed me real bad. But I got to go soon. I feel myself slippin' already," Hoggle replied, "You need to not worry yourself. Everything will okay."

"No! Don't go, please!" Sarah begged, "It won't be okay! I need you, all of you! And you're gone!"

"You can't change what's happened Sarah," Hoggle told her gently, "You's just a mortal."

"I'll find a way! Even if it kills me! I'll find a way to bring all you guys back! I promise!" She said passionately while looking at him from the ground.

"I gotta go, Sarah," Hoggle said before disappearing.

"NO!" She screamed hurtfully. She slammed her fists onto the floor as hard as she could. She took a deep breath before muttering, "I'll find a way. I will."

"Sarah, you look terrible," Her stepmother said worried as she walked into the familiar home. "What's wrong?"

"A close friend…" Her voice trailed off weakly. She took a deep breath before trying again, "A close friend of mine is dead."

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry," The older woman said sympathetically. She gave her a warm hug which wasn't returned only accepted.

"Where's Toby?" Sarah asked in a soft and sad voice. "I need to seem him."

"He's upstairs in his room…. But are you sure now is a good time to see him?" The red-haired woman asked carefully. The look Sarah gave her made her through up her hands, "Just asking! Go ahead, he'll be happy to see you."

Sarah walked up the stairs to her old room which was now Toby's. The flight seemed unnaturally long as she trudged up each step. When she finally did reach his room she heard laughter from inside. 'If only things were happy.' She thought miserably.

She knocked on the door softly, "Toby? Can I come in?" She heard a silence that made her curious followed by whispering.

The door opened and a sixteen-year-old boy looked at his petite sister wide-eyed, "What are you doing here?"

"I have something to tell you," She said quietly, "It's about our secret." She was immediately ushered in and the door closed behind her. She wearily sat down on his bed and let out a sad sigh.

"What's up?" He asked in a neutral tone. He looked at her and frowned, "You seem different."

"Toby, R-remember the Labyrinth?" The green-eyed female asked carefully.

"Well duh, sis. We talked about it all the time up until a few years ago," He answered while giving her an odd look.

"It's gone," She said sadly, "Jareth….. Jareth died." Her eyes went to floor as she waited for a reaction. The one she received was not what she expected.

Laughter broke out through the room. Sarah looked at him incredulously. "What are you laughing at?!" She practically screamed.

Toby got quiet immediately when he realized she was being serious. "That can't be true."

"It. Is." She hissed out through clenched teeth.

"No really it can't. I just spoke with him." He answered confused. He scratched the back of his head, "Am I missing something?"

"What?!" She asked breathlessly, "You saw him? When?!"

"Umm…. Before you came in. He told me it was you but I didn't believe him. Why would you think he was dead?" Toby asked her.

"B-because!" She sputtered before calming herself, "Hoggle told me he died last night! That they're all gone!"

Toby became pale and his mouth formed in an 'Oh' expression. He looked at her fearfully, "Hey Sarah? I have something to tell you…"

And that's all I have at the moment. I have figured out a plot so yeah. Feel free to comment. Thank you enough for reading it. Hope you guys all enjoyed it!
