Chapter Seven
Mom finally had gotten Hilary off to school. She went into her bedroom and opened her trunk. She pulled out a little red book that said "Labyrinth" on the cover. She held it to her chest as memories flooded her. She knew she couldn't help me now and that it was up to me to be strong and make it out. She sat down at my computer and typed.
'Jareth, are you there?' she typed.
No one answered right away and mom was getting mad.
'Jareth, you better answer me!' she wrote.
'Yes, Sarah?' was the reply.
'Why do you have Melody?'
'Don't worry she's safe.'
'Bring her back, now!'
'Boy you've gotten feisty in your old age.'
'Jareth, I want my daughter back.'
'She's coming home, through no doing of mine. I asked her to stay, but like you, she's stubborn and is determined to leave.'
Mom smiled. She was glad I had picked up some of her traits.
'Where is she?' she asked.
'She's working her way back through the labyrinth. Now, can you please leave me in peace? I left you alone all these years.'
'Left me alone?! You kidnapped my daughter!'
'She came to me willingly, plus it didn't have anything to do with you.'
'Then why did you take her if it wasn't to hurt me?'
'You would definitely not be the one to understand.'
'What do you mean?
'You bore me.'
hetraJKG left the chat room. Mom threw the book at the computer and yelled. She took a deep breath and tried to have faith in me. She hoped I met some friends like she had. She lay down on my bed and prayed.
