Going Back

Part Two: Like Sister Like Brother

Author: Kryptonite

Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: If I owned the Labyrinth I would have a MUCH better computer than the one my dad has. Not to mention it would be in the privacy of my own room and have an amazing Internet connection. And it would be black and blue.

Summary: The title basically says what this chapter is about. There will be a few differences between Sarah's journey and Toby's but not much.

" Hello?" Toby called as he neared the Labyrinth's walls to see a dwarf spraying something on the flowers.

" What's you want?" It called back, glaring at him.

" How do I get in the Labyrinth?" Toby glowered, not wanting to be here anymore than the dwarf wanted him here. The little brown thing waved its hand and two doors appeared. " Thank you." Toby called, half remembering his manners once he was inside. The doors just slammed closed in response.

" Sarah said that she went to the left… so I'll go this way." Toby turned and went in the same direction Sarah had taken all those years ago. Walking down the corridor he slowly picked up speed, silently thanking his parents for those years of basketball practice.

" ARGH! There aren't any doors or any turns or anything!" Toby screamed, slamming his fists into the wall before sliding down to sit on the ground. Toby banged his head back once before resting it his eyes on his fists.

" 'Allo." Toby's head jerked up at the sound. What he saw next to his head made him jerk back, landing on his elbow.

" Did you just say hello?"

" No. I said 'Allo, but that's close enough."

" You're a worm. I'm talking to a worm." At this point Toby had straightened back up to his original sitting position, staring at the wall across from him.

" That's right." The little blue worm smiled at him.

" I'm going insane. I'm talking to a worm."

" Come inside, meet the missus. Have a nice cup of tea, that'll set you straight." Toby looked from the worm to the whole in the brick wall the worm had come out of.

" I don't think I'll fit, thanks. You wouldn't happen to know where there's a opening or entrance or something, would you?" The worm nodded, his little eyes closing.

" There's one right across from you." Toby glanced at the wall in front of him, remembering something Sarah had said about appearances. Standing up he put his hands in front of him and walked slowly towards the wall. His right hand, brushed against the edge of the wall and he kept walking until he saw another corridor. Turning to the left he went to walk away.

" Hang on, hang on!" Toby turned back, a smile on his face.

" Thank you." He went back to walking to the left.

" Don't go that way."

Toby slowly stepped back into view of the little worm. " What?"

" I said, don't go that way. Never go that way."

" Oh." Toby looked back and forth down the hall. " Okay. Thank you." He walked off, suddenly a little bit happier. The worm shook his head, smacking his lips together.

" Just like me Grandpa said. Human's always wanna go straight to that castle."

A/N: To Cariah Delonne and TerpintineMind thank you for reviewing, I'm glad you liked this. I probably had everybody fooled into thinking it was the same worm from Sarah's time. Please R/R and have a good day.
