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."
