Chapter Four:

Sarah sat in the warm bath water and sighed, "Why does no one believe me," and when she said that a small voice came to her ears. When she looked she saw Hoggle standing in her bathroom mirror smiling,

"Hello Sarah," was all he said.

"Oh Hoggle I'm so glad you're here I really need to talk to someone," she cried out to him, "everyone thinks something's wrong with me, they say what happen to me in the labyrinth was just a dream, but it can't be Hoggle it just can't be. I know it was real."

Right when she except a response from him he started to fade away from the mirror and she started to scream his name, as soon as he came he was gone and Linda walked in to see Sarah's sad facial expression and she help her daughter get ready for bed. She was placed on the bed and a few minutes later her dinner was given to her along with the medicine. When done she sat on her bed and started to cry as she looked at her pink bed sheets and wonder why Hoggle would leave her when she needed him the most. Why did no one came when she needed all of them the most. She sat up all night crying and wondering all the reason why no one would believe her.

The sun's rays come into her window signaling a new day, but she just lay on her bed without any expression on her beautiful face. She heard a knock on her door but didn't response to it the person came in anyways and when he spoke she knew who he was instantly. Everyone thought he was a kind and caring doctor, but she knew the truth he was cruel and reckless he was the goblin king and nothing can make her believe otherwise.

"Well did we get a good night's sleep?" he received no response and he mentally sighed, " well I got you something Sarah, " he said in hope that she would at least look in his direction.

"What is it?"

He smiled and happily said, "A gift," when she turn and look at the so called gift her green eyes narrowed down at it. Sitting in the middle of her childish room was a wheelchair.

"Is this supposed to make people feel sorrier for me?"

He shook his head, "not at all my dear," he looked at her, "I figured you would like some fresh air once in a while instead of staying captive in this room all the time," she turn away from him and went back to laying underneath the covers. He was right this girl would be more difficult than the others and he went up to her and picked her up from her bed and started to walk down stairs with her screaming to put her down.

Jareth sat her down on the couch in the living room and went back upstairs. Sarah looked around the room and noticed everything had changed. The furniture was new and different then what she remembered and when she looked around at the pictures she saw Toby growing up in each one of them, but the one that struck her the most was the one she picked up. It was a picture of her asleep in the hospital with happy birthday balloons surrounding her as her small family stood beside her as Toby looked about six years old. She started to cry and her tears landed on the glass of the picture frame. This was the scene Jareth came back to and he sat the chair, a robe, and some slippers of hers down at the bottom of the stairs and went up to her and placed an arm around her and took the picture out of her hands. He looked at her and gently told her it was going to be alright. When her tears slowly started to stop and smiled and took the picture so both of them can look at it and he smiled,

"I remember this day."

"You do?" she question whipping some tear drops away.

He nodded and continued, "Yep, your family came over on your birthday caring tons of presents from family and balloons. When I asked why they were doing this they told me they didn't want you to feel forgotten when you woke up," he paused to laugh and she gave him a questionable look towards him, "sorry," he said, "its just since you couldn't blow your candle out or open your present Toby kept bugging everyone to let him open them. That boy was a hyper one."

Sarah smiled at took hold of the picture but a questioned popped into her head, "if you were there where are you in the picture?"

"It was a family thing for one Sarah," she nodded forgetting that, " and I was the one who took the picture, by that time your family had adopted me in," that sentence made her frown a little. He stood up though and took the picture and placed it down to its original position.

"Well I think that's enough down memory lane for me," he held out his hand to her, "you wanna go for that stroll now?" she took his hand hesitantly and he smiled when she did and he carried her over to the chair and sat her down in it and watched as she put the robe on as he put the slippers on her feet. He pushed her out the door and towards the park.

While they were going to the park everyone seem to be starring at Sarah. She just looked down at the ground and glared, everyone seemed to feel sorry for her and she didn't want any of their pity. She almost snapped at an older lady for just shaking her head at her. When they finally got to the park they ended up at her favorite spot. It was the spot where she use to act out the Labyrinth to a white owl who perched himself on top of one of the tall statues resigning in the place. She just starred at the place almost hoping to see that owl again just so she knew it wasn't all a dream. Jareth looked at his patient and wonder if the girl was okay. When he touched her shoulder she jumped a little and turned towards him and started to yell, "What did you do that for!"

He yelled back, "Sorry for caring but you were kind of spacing out starring at the statue there!" he pointed to the object.

"Maybe I was looking for something!" she screamed back.

"If you were wouldn't you think you've found it by now it's been over an hour!"

"Yea well," she stopped and their argument was interrupted when both their stomachs rumbled for food. They both placed their hands on their belly and then looked up at each other and then both started to laugh. He went behind the chair and started to push her out of the park towards town. She looked up over her shoulder at him and asked, "Where are we going?"

His answer, "you'll see," and they continued down the streets of town.
