Title: Whispers of Magic
Author: Kathea
Pairing: Jareth/Sarah
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Time will tarnish your memory but some things will never go away even if they are only whispers.
AN: Set at least 10 years after the movie with a very grown up Sarah and a Jareth that hasn't changed one bit.
AN2: As an explanation for why Albus Dumbledore suddenly popped into the story for a cameo appearance; if the Labyrinth grants wishes then Rowling could have wished for inspiration or an idea and the idea of Dumbledore was the Labyrinth's response. Also, since the Labyrinth was trying not to shock Sarah, appearing as a familiar figure should be comforting. The idea came to me and wouldn't go away, maybe the Labyrinth granted my wish for a cool scene. ;)
Disclaimer: This story was written for my entertainment, if by some miracle you were also entertained then I am honored. I obviously make no money from this artistic venture.
Reviews: Lyn: Will do Moonjava: Thanks Shelby: I'm glad it made you laugh. Solea: Well I'm honored anyway. Lady of the Labyrinth: I'm glad someone thinks I'm funny. How do we know that the Labyrinth didn't inspire Rowling? Read AN. Layla Wendal: Got to love the drama ItsACrystalNothingMore: Ha ha ha, suspense. You'll just have to wait.
AN3: This is the last one I swear. So I've decided to head in another direction with the story. Don't worry, they'll still get together, happily ever after and all that. I'm trying to work in a more human element. There will still be plenty of magic to go around though. Enjoy.
Chapter 6: Harebrained Ideas
"Kara do you really think this will work?" Kevan asked uncertainly.
"I think so." Kara replied putting on her brave face.
"But don't you think the king will be scary? And how do you know that Miss Sarah's there anyway?"
"Will you trust me? I'm you sister, I wouldn't let us get hurt."
"I know but…"
"No buts if Miss Sarah's not there then we can just have him take us to her where ever she is."
"It was just a story." Kevan said a bit sullenly.
"No, it wasn't. I believe it. I know you do too."
"Yeah, I guess."
"Look, hold my hand. We'll say it together." Kevan reached out a tentative hand for his sister and gave her a reassuring nod.
They spoke as one as they so often did, "We wish the Goblin King would come take us away, right now!"
Their playroom went dark and the children huddled together as strange sounds rushed around them. They screamed in unison as small hands grabbed at their bodies and they felt the floor fall from beneath them. All Kevan could think as they fell through the inky blackness was that he would never agree to one of his sister's crazy ideas again.
AN4: Okay. Not what you were expecting right? I know that's not how Sarah's entered the Underground but you have to figure that there are other ways. Just so everyone knows. Tomorrow (Saturday May 28th) I'll be getting married. Then I'll be gone for a week on my honeymoon soaking up the sun on the beaches of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. I will try and finish up this story or at least have another chapter or two to post when I get back. Although, a new husband presents a lot of distractions. Fear not, this story is no where near done.
