Disclaimer: If I owned Labyrinth would I be bothering to type this? NO it would be much better and on the big screen.

AN:I know this has been a really long time in coming, but I've had really bad writer's block. So I'm sorry this is so short. Oh if you need the rest of the story let me know and I'll email it. PLEASE let me know what you think and where this should go! Thanks a lot!

Jareth pulled Sarah away from the bottle, as it shattered where she had just been standing. Sarah's eyes reflected shock. It seemed that everyone had underestimated both Karen's insanity and her hatred of Sarah.

Karen stood in an offensive stance, the voice she had heard in her dreams urging her to finish what she had started. But as she moved to strike the backdoor flew open.

"Well well well. What do we have here?" A sinisterly smooth voice asked. A tall figure moved to stand in the room. A series of guards entered behind them; three holding Toby and the twins.

"Who are you?" Jareth drew himself completely into his kingly personage, beside Sarah who became the brave, passionate mortal, who had defeated the Goblin King's Labyrinth.

A sinister chuckle left the figures mouth as he stepped into the light. His hair shown like a raven's wing, and his eye's burned with the fires of hell. "Who I am is none of your concern. At least not yet."

Sarah glared. "Anyone who touches my family is my concern. Now I demand to know who you are!"

Karen turned to glare at Sarah. "They are not your family. They are mine."

Sarah opened her mouth to reply when the stranger interrupted her. "Now, now ladies. No fighting. You have more important things to worry about."

At that moment the twins each landed a very good kick in the place every male has a weakness. They broke free, and raced to were Sarah and Jareth stood while Toby continued to struggle within his captor's grasp. Sarah wrapped the two in her arms."

The sinister man before them growled. "Can't you imbeciles do anything correctly? Never mind we still have one." He turned his attention back to the adults. "Now we are going to play a little game. You like games do you not? Oh high and mighty Goblin King. Now in this game the prize is your whore's family." When he said that a man appeared behind Karen and along with the guards holding Toby vanished.

"What did you do with my brother?" Diana cried, straining against the protective grasp Sarah had wrapped her and Cleo in.

"Nothing... for now. As long as they play my game nothing will happen to them. Return to your castle Goblin King and await my instructions, or your Queen's brother will pay the price." With that the stranger vanished, along with the rest of his guards.

Sarah and the twins sank to the floor, tears in all of their eyes. Jareth pulled his wife into his arms, as the twins clung to each other. "Come love," he said. "Let's go home. There is nothing more we can do here."

Sarah nodded and turned to Diana and Cleo. "You two go pack what ever you think you'll need for a couple of weeks. Jareth and I will clean up here."

The two wiped their eyes and nodded, before heading upstairs. When they returned the kitchen was clean and the four where ready to go. Diana and Cleo each took one of Sarah's hands and Cleo slipped her other hand into Jareth's. With a nod from Sarah, Jareth transported them back to the castle beyond the goblin city. The kitchen in the mortal realm showing no signs of the tragedies that had just occurred there.
