Chapter 2
Sarah got home before twelve and started to get lunch for Toby and herself when Karen walked in. "Sarah will you stop daydreaming and do something useful." Sarah looked up at Karen and sighed dismally. "Is that woman ever going to grow up?"
Sarah went upstairs to work on her script and noticed something on her pillow. Sarah looked at it and gasped in shock. It was a crystal and also a pendant of a crescent moon with a diamond in the center. "What is a crystal doing here? I didn't wish Jareth here." "No love I thought it would be a perfect birthday present." Sarah turned around and saw Jareth dressed how he was the first time she saw him the night she wished Toby away. His mismatched eyes held a look of sincerity and something else Sarah couldn't place.
"What are you doing here?"
"I thought that was obvious."
"Jareth you have to leave."
"Sarah I can't the Labyrinth isn't the same without you." Sarah turned tearfully toward him.
"Is that all the reason you came here to torture me?"
"I have done nothing to provoke you."
"Just leave." Jareth roughly turned Sarah to him and kissed her. "I can't leave Sarah. You denied me once before don't again. And don't you dare say the words."
"Don't start that generous crap again."
"Please come back to the Labyrinth if only for a couple of hours."
"I can't."
"Is it that you can't or you won't?" Sarah looked up at him and saw the hurt look in his eyes. "Fine I'll go."
Jareth pulled her to him and sent them to the Labyrinth. When Jareth let go Sarah saw something was different. "Jareth what is different."
"The Labyrinth doesn't have to be like you imagined it would be." Sarah stared in wonder at it. The walls were not crumbled and all the plants were gone. The goblin city was not damaged but looked the same from what Sarah first thought a goblin city would look like.
"Jareth are you telling me everything I saw and went through in the Labyrinth was a lie."
"No what I told you at the end was true."
"So you really did love me."
"Sarah I still do. It is you who must embrace the reality of your feelings." Jareth transported Sarah back home. "All you need to do is call on the crystal when you find out how you really feel."
Jareth went to his own room and hoped Sarah would be able to find out her true feelings because tonight was the only night he could still take her.
Sarah looked around her room and sighed. * What did he imply? I have to to grip reality? * Sarah sat down on her bed * I do love him but I can't love him he is immortal. * Sarah looked up and walked out of her room. She was about to leave the house when she heard Karen talking to her father.
"I want her out of here by tomorrow."
"Karen she knows she has to go."
"I seriously want her out tomorrow. She is of age to where she can leave."
"I'll get her to leave don't worry."
Sarah heard her father but couldn't believe it her own family didn't want her. Sarah ran upstairs and took the crystal, her bag, keys, the Labyrinth, and the crescent moon symbol. She went to her car and drove to the park where she met Jareth. She walked to where she had stood those two years ago and pulled out the crystal.
"I can't take it. Jareth please come get me."
"Hello Sarah."
"Jareth can we go to the Labyrinth."
"Yes but why the sudden change of heart?"
"Jareth my own family doesn't care about me." Jareth looked at her and took pity.
"You have fought bravely my love come." Sarah took Jareth's hand and he transported them to the Labyrinth. Jareth led her to the chambers next to his. "Here you will sleep here. Would you like to come to dinner with me later?" Sarah looked at Jareth smiled and answered, "Yes I would love to." Jareth nodded his head and left the room.
Sarah looked around her new home and fell into the blue satin sheets.
Jareth walked around his throne room and set up for dinner tonight. "Maybe she will stay for love not regret." Jareth checked the room and left to get ready.
