The room was a cold, black abyss. Sarah felt so lost and lonely. What happened? She thought. She felt around for something, anything, there was nothing. It was cold. It was so dark. Sarah was reminded of the oubliette Jareth had put her in on that fateful day in the Labyrinth. Oh how I wish I could get out of here! She thought.
"Hoggle! Sir Didymus! Ludo! I need you! Help me!" No answer. It was so silent. Or was it? A few minutes later, Sarah could hear a faint noise. What is that? She wondered. Its tempo was very slow and consistent. It was getting louder, or it was getting closer. It was similar to the sound of a base drum. Wait a minute! That sounds like a heart beat! She panicked.
"Hoggle? Ludo? Sir Didymus? Is that you?" She hoped it was a friend. She was completely blind due to the lack of light. Soon she could hear her own heart beat and her cheeks grew hot. The strange heart beat was getting faster and faster. Sarah wanted to move but she found that she couldn't. She could smell the stench of rotten flesh and linen. Soon she could hear breathing. It was getting closer. Sarah still could not move. Her heart raced. Oh what have I done! She cried in her mind. Suddenly, everything was silent. Sarah held her breath. She could feel hot, humid air on her neck. The stale, pungent odor was far more prominent now. Someone was breathing on her neck! Sarah panicked. How do I get out of here? Sarah asked herself. Suddenly she had an idea, however she doubted it would work.
"JARETH! I NEED YOU! HELP ME PLEASE!"
"Why should I help you? You rejected me.'' Sarah heard his voice, however he was not present.
"Please Jareth! I'm begging you! I'll do anything! Just get me out of here!"
"Very well." The dark room was dimly lit with Jareth's magic. He was clad in a similar ensemble as the one he wore when she first met him. He juggled a crystal in his hands as he had done before, complete with the smug look on his face. Oh how he was enjoying that fact that Sarah actually needed him. She was far more beautiful than when she ran the Labyrinth, even with the fear in her eyes and the dead hand of a mummy around her neck. He decided to wait no longer and vanquished the mummy with a single crystal.
