DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE LABYRINTH IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

"No, Crystal!" Sarah shouted as she watched Jareth and her daughter disappear out the window. "Ludo, do something!"

Ludo immediately started to howl, Kobin whirled around and looked at him.

"What's going on, what's he doing?" he shouted.

"My brother is doing what he does back and calling on his friends the rocks!" said

"What?" said Kobin looking out in window in time to see a stone come out from his house where Jareth, still cradling Crystal in his arms was standing. He looked up and smirked at Kobin.

"Did you really think you could get rid me as easily as that?" said Jareth.

"You were ready to throw yourself out the window only a few minutes ago!" Kobin shouted down at him.

"That's different, that was my life I was going to take. Honestly don't you know anything about my life and how important it is?" asked Jareth.

"Well how could I really seeing as you've banished me after all these years!" shouted Kobin.

"Crystal, Crystal!" Sarah shouted as she ran up next to Kobin and the window. She breathed a huge sigh of relief when she saw that Jareth was holding her.

"Is she all right?" she called down.

"Yes she's fine Sarah. Did you honestly think I wouldn't do what I could save our child?" asked Jareth.

"Humph!" snapped Kobin, "You may have your daughter, but I still have this!" He held up the crystal ball.

"Really Kobin? Don't you think that Crystal fully knows who she is that I even need to worry about that now? I have her and she knows everything. I can just go back to the underground with her right now," said Jareth.

"What, Jareth don't you dare!" Sarah shouted right as Jareth went and took another step off the platform Ludo had help create with Crystal and once again disappear out of sight.

"Now where did he go!" said Sarah.

"Isn't it obvious? He's back in that stupid underground with her!" snapped Kobin still twirling the ball in his hand. "Not that it matters to me. I still have this after all to help me go back on my own free will."

Just then the there was loud banging at the door before it burst opened and both Toby and Brian burst into the room.

"You little jerk!" Toby shouted as he tackled Kobin to the ground. As he did, he managed to knock the ball out of Kobin's hand and rolled away fast. "You little creep, holding little girls hostage like this!"

"Toby!" shouted Sarah.

"Sarah, here you are!" said Toby happily when he finally realized his sister was in the room as well. He shoved Kobin down to the ground and ran over to her. "Are you all right? He didn't hurt you or anything?"

Brian meanwhile walked over to Kobin and pointed his gun right at Kobin's face.

"Don't move, you are under arrest for kidnapping!" he said as he pulled out a pair of hand cuffs and got them on Kobin's hands.

"How dare you! I'll see that you won't even get a job as a mall security guard after this!" said Kobin as he struggled with Brian.

"Shut-up," said Brian before looking over at Sarah, "Sarah, are you all right?"

"Uh yeah, yeah I think so," said Sarah.

"Where's Crystal?" asked Toby looking around.

"She, she kind of went out the window," said Sarah.

"She what?" shouted Toby running to the broken window and looking around. "I don't see her. Are you sure she went out?"

"Y, yes, to try and get away from him," said Sarah.

"Oh you mean she tried to sneak out through the window?" asked Brian.

"Uh yeah," said Sarah.

"Maybe she made it to the bottom and is running around somewhere. I'm sure we'll find her," said Brian as he got Kobin to his feet and led him out of the room.

"Sarah," said Toby grabbing his sister's arm, "What did happen Crystal, where is she?" Sarah looked back out the window.

"He took her," she said timidly.

"Who took her, where?" asked Toby.

"Her father, her real father," said Sarah timidly.

"You mean, him?" said Toby. Sarah nodded.

"But why, why did he suddenly show up and take her?" asked Toby.

"I figure half of it has to do with him coming to see rescue her from that evil man!" said Sarah.

"Why would he half to suddenly appear here and save her from him?" asked Toby.

They're brothers," said Sarah, "And apparently the only thing standing in between him and Jareth's throne was her."

"Oh this family is messed up!" said Toby.

Crystal could feel the arms holding her tight suddenly become a bit loose. She looked up and saw the man that she had always merely call friend but was now claming to be her father smiling back at her.

"I think we're safe now," he said putting her down.

"What happened though, where are we?" asked Crystal.

"We're here in my home," said her suppose father. Crystal looked around the big but somewhat dirty room and noticed that there happened to be a throne in there as well.

"Are we in the castle you told me about?" she asked.

"Why yes we are," said Jareth as he went and took a seat.

"Wow," said Crystal as she ran and looked out the widow. "This is really your castle and this is really your kingdom?"

"Yes it is indeed my dear," said Jareth.

"Everything, even that big maze thing again?" asked Crystal.

"A labyrinth dear, and yes that is mine as well. It's under my complete control and everything. It's my main force of protection," said Jareth.

"Wow," said Crystal. "I know I've always wanted to come and see your kingdom and now here I am. Hey that makes me wonder something. You know how you claim that you're my father?"

"Oh its no mere claim my dear. I am your father true and true," said Jareth.

"Well if that's really the case and you're my father and the king, does that really mean I'm like the princess of this place?" asked Crystal.

"Why yes it does," said Jareth.

"So that's why you were going on about me being your heir and not letting that one mean man take your throne," said Crystal.

"Yes correct my dear," said Jareth.

"Wow, I'm a princess! I always knew there was something different about me, something," Crystal stopped for a moment and slowly her smile disappeared.

"Something wrong my dear?" asked Jareth.

"I don't get something. If you've been my father this whole time how come you've never once said anything to me about it? You've come to visit me so often and yet you never once told me the truth. Why was that? I kind of understand why my mother never did, but why you? Did you think I was stupid or that it was best to keep me safe for my own protection too? Or did you just not really want me excepts when you needed me like right now with that man trying to steal your throne?" she asked.

"No, no that's wasn't the reason at all!" said Jareth, "You were created out of love first and foremost! I love you very much!"

"Then why didn't you say anything to me? Why did you think it was all right for Mom not to tell me the truth?" asked Crystal.

"Let's just say your mother has trust issues when it comes to me and so to help her get rid of those nasty thoughts and feeling towards me, I decided to try and respect her wishes," said Jareth.

"I guess," said Crystal, "but why would she have trust issues when it comes to you?"

"Who knows, your mother is a very peculiar person is case you haven't noticed," said Jareth.

"Not as peculiar as you," said Crystal.

"Now, now none of that," said Jareth, "If you think that both your parents are peculiar, then what would that tell you about yourself?" Crystal didn't smile at the comment.

"It was merely a joke my dear. If anyone was to call you peculiar they'd have to answer to me and you know that," said Jareth.

Crystal still didn't seem to want to smile.

"I, I want to go home, right now. I don't want to be here with you anymore!" she said finally.
