Sitting up, Sarah looked out her window. ~That would have to be one of the strangest
dreams I have ever had.~ She thought as she reflected back on the dream. She had been walking
around a large garbage field, trying to save everything that was important to her. At first, she had
found just the occasional item, such as her teddy bear, Launcelot, or the music box her mother
had given her. Then the items became more and more common, until she had suddenly stumbled
onto a large pile of all of her things. Sarah had tried to take all of the items back with her, but too
soon her arms were too full, and she couldn't carry anything else. She had started to cry when
she realized what she had to do. Setting down everything in her arms, she slowly sifted through
all of her most prized possession, and choose only the most important to keep. Then, she started
to slowly walk away, never looking back. She was still crying at having to leave what she did
behind, but knew it had to be. As she walked through the junk, she heard a voice call her name
from behind, telling her she could have everything, if she would just accept the offer. She had
turned to see who was offering her this, and looked into a pair of mismatched eyes.
Reflecting back now she realized that seeing those eyes where what had woken her up.
They seemed so familiar. Mentally shaking herself for being silly, she got out of bed. In the
mood to get out of the house, she decided to go to a near by second hand book store/ coffee shop
to work on some school work. Smiling to herself, she shook off the dream, and soon forgot
about it.
!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
Satisfied with a morning well spent, Sarah glanced at her watch, and was shocked to
discover that five hours had pasted since she had first woken. Needing a brake from the endless
pile of Math and Economics, she started to browse the books. She smiled as she ran across books
she had already read, remembering all the twists and turns that had entertained her through the
years. Then suddenly her heart jumped as she saw the little red book. It reminded her of the one
her mother had passed on to her. She picked it up gingerly, and held it in her hand, tracing the
gold letters reverently. L-A-B-Y-R-I-N-T-H. How she had loved this story as a child. She had
practiced for hours, playing the girl loved by the goblin king. Then suddenly she had just stopped.
Thinking back now, she couldn't remember why. It seemed as though she had just not loved the
story anymore. She didn't even know what had become of her copy.
Surprised at her good fortune, Sarah took the book up to the front counter and payed for
it. Then going back to her seat, she sat down, and read the first lines of the book.
Hours later, she was interrupted by a voice asking from above, "What are you reading? I've
seen you from across the room. You've been working on that all day."
Looking up she meet a pair of eyes. Startled, Sarah realized they were just like the ones in
her dream that morning. Finally remembering she had been asked a question, Sarah crocked out
"What?"
"I asked what you were reading so intently. I couldn't help but notice you from across the
room." Finally tearing her herself away from her eyes she noticed the rest of the man. She had to
admit he looked pretty cute in his turtle neck and black denim jeans. ~Snap out of it girl! He
asked you a question.~
"Labyrinth. I used to love this book as a child. My mother gave me my first copy of it. I
haven't read it for so long. I had forgotten how good it was." She said, holding up the book.
"You know Sarah, there are only two copies of that book in the world. It never really
went anywhere, so the author gave up. You're very luck to own one of them."
Startled, Sarah looked at him in wonder. "How do you know my name?"
"Um, I took a class with you a while ago."
"Really, I don't remember. What class was it?"
"I don't remember. I was only in there for the first week, then I transferred out. It was
back when you were a freshman. I'm Jareth in case you're wondering." He said holding out his
had.
"Nice to meet you Jareth." Sarah said, taking his hand, and shaking it firmly.
"Hey, I was about to go get something to eat, and I was wondering if you would like to
come along." Jareth said, looking down questioningly.
"I'd love to. Just let me go put away my stuff. Meet you here in five minutes?" Sarah
said as she gathered her things.
"Of course. Oh, and Sarah, don't worry about changing."
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))000000000000000000000)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Five minutes later, Sarah was back down in the coffee shop. She had freshened up her
makeup, and re-done her hair. The only thing she hadn't changed was her clothes, even though
she had been tempted. Seeing Jareth she walked over to where he was looking at books.
"Ready to go?" He asked turning to look at her.
"Yes. Where are we going?"
"Somewhere I'm sure you've never been before." He replied, hooking his arm through
hers.
"And how can you be so sure of that?"
"Because. Now, close your eyes and trust me." Jareth said as he lead her out the door.
:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P
Okay, Here's the deal. I am going to try and update at least once a week. If I don't you can kill
me... I know Jareth is a little (Okay a lot) Out of Character, my apologies for that. That will
change as soon as Sarah remembers. (Yes, she will remember. In the next chapter in fact.)
Also, I hate chapter four as it is right now, so don't be surprised if I completely re-write it.
Oh, one last thing. I am planning on including mention of an event in the next chapter which does
not happen in the movie, but does in the book. So if you haven't already gotten a copy, e-mail me
for one. Okay, I think that's it...
