Sarah picked at her salad with no intention of eating it. She was bored, scared and depressed all rolled into one. Her world was crumbling beneath her. Jareth was laughing with his friends while their wives fussed over each other. This was not the life she had wanted, but then again she never wanted to be trapped in a castle in the middle of a labyrinth for the rest of all eternity either. Yawning, she flipped over a cucumber and jabbed at it, pretending it was Jareth's face. : -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Victoria looked in amazement in the direction where the voice had come from. It was a small fuzzy blue worm with a red scarf, sitting on a ledge. It looked up at her with big purple eyes. "Did you just say Hello?" She asked, feeling rather silly, talking to a worm. "NO! I said, "allow", but that's close enough." Came the cockney reply. "You're a worm aren't you!" She asked, already knowing it was a stupid question. "Yeah, s'right." "Then you must know your way to the center of the Labyrinth. "No, I'm just a worm." He gave a small laugh. "Oh." "Why don't you come in, meet the missus." "No, I'm sorry, but I have to find my way around this Labyrinth but there doesn't seem to be any openings or anything." Victoria whined. "Why there's one right in front of you!" Victoria stared blankly at the wall in front of her. "That-That's just a wall." "Go on.look." Victoria got up and walked up to the wall. To her extreme surprise she kept walking, and saw the two turns the worm had spoke of. "Thank you very much, that was very helpful." Victoria called as she ran down the right path. "WAIT!" screamed the worm. "Yessssss?" Sarah asked, doubling back. "Don't go that way!" "Why?" "Don't you ever go that way." "Why?" "Cuz that path leads right to that castle and-HEY! WAIT!!" the worm cried, but Victoria had torn down that path like her back was on fire. : -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: After the dessert was served and consumed, the guests went into the gardens to chat. Sarah wandered as far from them as possible and was admiring a peach-colored-rose bush when something ran into her and knocked her over. She gave a small scream that ended sharply when she realized what it was. "Vicky?" "Mom!!" Victoria cried, wrapping her arms around Sarah and holding her in a warm embrace. "What are you doing here?" Whispered Sarah. "I've come to rescue you, Stupid, now let's go! There is a path behind this rose bush." Victoria grabbed her mom's wrist and they ran all the way back to the portal and disappeared through it just as it vanished, cutting them off from the Labyrinth forever. Forever that is until Jareth springs one and follows it to his one true love again.but that's another story. ;-) : -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: It had been 4 weeks since their labyrinth adventure, when Sarah called Daniel and Victoria into the dining room for a family meeting. "I have an announcement to make." She said nervously. Victoria and Daniel moved closer. "I'm." She cleared her throat. "Pregnant." It was barely a whisper. "That's GREAT!" Daniel cried, hugging her. "Yeah!" Victoria chirped, but she didn't think it was great. Not when she knew who's child it was. It was Jareth's bastard baby and heir to his goblin throne. And he'd be back. Victoria knew. "Mom, I'm scared." She whispered as she hugged her mom. "Me too."
