A/N: Well, decided to put this up considering I got WAY more reviews than I
expected, you all seem eager for this, and I won't be putting up any more
until I have an opportunity to see the movie again. Hopefully this
chapter'll clear up some stuff, along with introducing a mystery I intend
to make a constant theme 'til the mystery is solved. I'm also answering
questions I got from reviews:
Bonnie S: You'll find out; Hopefully next chapter; Yes, he will; Actually, I hadn't thought of the peach scene specifically until you mentioned it, but now that you have I have something extrememly INTERESTING for that planned. Lets just say that Jareth won't try to trick her about it; Maybe; Right now; I'm honored, thanks =)
Zabela19: Obviously, I'm continuing now, aren't I?
LadyIconDraco: The challenge IS that she's in love with him. Thought that was clear. Sorry. But it's not the only challenge, don't worry!
Reviewer-who's-name-and/or-pseudonyme-I-do-not-know: Moving fast? Well, yes, but there won't be much else until the end of the fic. And it was an attention grabber. Besides, they've had nine years to think about how much they're in love with eachother; Harsh? Well, if the truth is harsh....which is not to say that Labyrinth fics that aren't J/S are bad! Not at all....not that I've read any good ones that aren't J/S....not that I've read ANY fics that aren't J/S...have you?
Labyrinth-The Saga Contines
Chapter Two-The Quest Begins Part I
Toby hurried after Sarah, not exactly eager to catch up, but unwilling to be left behind as well. "Sarah," he called out. She turned around and stood looking at him, patiently. "Sarah...what WAS that?"
"What was what?" She asked innocently.
"That! You, kissing the Goblin King...all those stories you told me of Labyrinth, those were stories of what happened to you?"
"Back when you were a baby, yes." She started walking towards the gate, and Toby followed her, keeping up his questions.
"Why did you try and get rid of me?" Sarah shrugged.
"I was immature, and, like you, didn't really expect anything to happen. Mom was making me stay home babysitting you, I wanted to go out, but couldn't, and I got mad."
"And then you came here...to get me back. And everything you told me really happened?"
"Yeah...I probably didn't remember all the details, though. But I didn't make anything up."
"You failed to mention that you were in LOVE with the Goblin King, though."
"I wasn't, until after I got you back. What he said back home, he was right. His memory has been plaguing me...and it does give him a power over me. But it also gives us an advantage...if I could only figure out what it was, exactly..."
"That's all you care about? Having an advantage?"
"That's all it's worth to me," Sarah replied hardly. "I braved this Labyrinth once to get you back, and I will do the same for Alexa. I cannot let my feelings get in the way of my duty to my family."
They had reached the gate now. Unlike last time, there was no Hoggle to greet them....but also unlike last time, the gate was open. She strode down the pathway within, running her fingers along the wall for entrances. "Woah!" she shouted as her hand suddenly gave way when she found an opening. Straightening herself, she strode through it, and then stuck her head back at Toby. "Come on!" she said briskly. Toby hurried after her.
They were along the same road Sarah had taken nine years ago. "That's strange..." she whispered. "I'm sure I found a different entrance than from last time, you'd think a different entrance would take you somewhere else...but then, nothing's supposed to make sense here, how stupid of me to forget." She walked on, looking about the place in awe. She had forgoten how amazing this Underground world was...
They continued on, taking paths at random, when something stopped Sarah in her tracks. Bending down, she gasped. Toby leaned over. "What?" he asked. "It's only an arrow...a pink arrow, true, but still-"
"It's still here! This is an arrow that I drew with my lipstick when I first came here! It's still here, after all this time..." Toby stared at her.
"You wore lipstick?"
"Shut up."
A/N: Yes, the mysterious theme WAS introduced here, but it's not going to be too obvious until later. Until then, hope you enjoyed this, and review!
