Chapter 2:
Where I Belong
******************************
Something in your eyes makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there is light
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the wayback where I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

She heard the owl as he flew in her window and came to a graceful halt on her floor. Even with her eyes closed Sarah could still see him as he stood before her, his form growing from that of a bird to that of the man she loved so dearly, blocking the light entering her window and splashing onto her face. He made no move, enjoying watching her for a moment. A smile grew at her lips.
Minutes passed and still he made no move. Finally Sarah opened her eyes. The sight before her took her breath away, even after all these years. He was dressed completely in white, soft tails of fabric dancing around him. He'd worn black every other year. She had only once seen him in white. She gasped. The Escher room. He saw the look on her face and smiled. "Dear Sarah," His eyes locked with hers. "Oh, how I have missed you." Slowly, he moved over to sit next to her on her bed, eyes never leaving hers. Sarah raised a hand and gently brushed his cheek.
"You've never come in white before. Is this a special occasion?" She let her hand fall, tracing the outline where his shirt met his skin. He reached up and grasped her hand, bringing it to his lips and kissing her palm, before resting it in his lap.
"It is. There is something I must ask of you." He smiled at her. A hand reached up beside him and plucked a crystal from the air. Sarah frowned as he held it in front of her face. "Look." He urged her. She peered into the crystal.
What she saw brought tears to her eyes. Pictures of the labyrinth flashed before her eyes. Only it wasn't the same labyrinth as it once was. Walls had crumbled to the ground and those that hadn't were overgrown with large vines. There were no signs of life anywhere. The Goblin City was deserted, the houses now piles of rubble. There was not a goblin in sight. The castle looked dark and uninviting, as though a terrible spell had been cast upon it. She looked up at him, eyes wide and full of confusion.
Jareth's head lowered as she spoke. "What happened? It was so beautiful...'
He looked up once more into her eyes. "You happened, Sarah." Her brow furrowed. "I thought that after all of these years I could keep loving you for afar. I thought that if I only came once a year to see you nothing would change." He sighed, closing his eyes and hanging his head once more. "But I was wrong. The Labyrinth is suffering and it is all because of my love for you. Because you are not there with me." He threw the crystal into the air and Sarah watched as it shimmered then disappeared.
"But what can I do, Jareth? I don't understand." Sarah's eyes once again filled with tears. It was because of her. Because he loved her.
Jareth gently took her hand and held it tight. "You must come back to the Underground with me. You are the only one who can fix this. Your very presence will make the Labyrinth flourish once more. I cannot use my magic to heal it; it's too far beyond that. Only when love is brought back will it grow." He paused and looked out her window, watching for a moment the leaves as they danced in the wind. He looked back to her. "Will you come, my love?"
Happiness coursed through her veins. He was asking her to go back to the Labyrinth. Asking her to be with him. A sudden thought occurred to her. "For how long?" He appeared confused. "For how long do you want me there with you?"
His answer was simple. "Forever."
She moved closer to him, one hand falling to his cheek, thumb caressing his lips. "I will." Beneath her thumb his lips drew into a smile. He leaned towards her, eyes closing as his lips came in contact with hers. Their kiss was soft and slow; the kiss of a couple that knew they had forever to be together. The kiss ending, Jareth again picked a crystal from the air. He closed his eyes and transported them to the Labyrinth.
