Hi! It's been awhile since I've been on here and posted anything although I have tried publishing this story before. However, I decided to make a few small changes. I hope you enjoy it and please review! NOTE: I do not own "Labyrinth" or anything associated with Jim Henson even though I wish I could take credit. :-) - Angel

The Goblin King stood at the window in his dark bedchamber, gazing out at the crumbling walls of his once majestic labyrinth. The cloudy night sky reflected his dark mood.

"Bring her back to us. Rebuild us," a feminine voice whispered in his ear. They were words he had heard on many occasions over the last few years.

"I know! It's not that easy!" he shouted as he turned away from the window and stalked across the room. With a wave of his hand, a fire roared in the fireplace, a fire to match the fury he felt.

He sat down in a chair by the fireplace and flung his leg over the arm. He rested his head on one gloved hand and brooded, staring into the fire. After a few minutes of contemplation, a crystal appeared in his other hand. His mismatched eyes peered into the depths of the sphere as the clouds within cleared and the vision he wanted to see came forth.

"Sarah," he whispered.

"I've decided I'm going to college," Sarah announced to her friend over a couple of drinks at a local pub. The sound of shouts arose in the background as other patrons cheered on their favorite team on the large TV screen.

"So, this is the news you wanted to tell me! Congratulations! What made you decide to do this?" A smile stretched across Jasmine's face as she reached for her glass and took a sip.

"Well, I've been thinking about it for awhile now, Jazz. Especially since the divorce ..." Sarah's voice trailed off and a shadow crossed her face. "Besides, I'm 28 now and it's time I did this for myself before it's too late."

Jasmine took one look at her friend and knew what she was thinking. Sarah's divorce from Kennedy was not a friendly one, especially since he cheated on her best friend every chance he had.

"Hey! This deserves a toast!" Jasmine said cheerily, raising her glass. "To Sarah, the girl who can conquer all!"

Sarah smiled as they clinked their glasses across the table.

Jareth turned his gaze away from the crystal ball as the image faded away. His heart ached at the last words as he remembered the night Sarah conquered his labyrinth and rejected him in the process. Fury built up in his chest and he stood up from the chair, throwing the crystal against the wall. It shattered into a million sparkling pieces in the firelight then disappeared.

As if in result to his anger, lightning flashed across the night sky followed by a loud clap of thunder. It didn't faze Jareth though as the same words he heard so many times before whispered once again in his ear.

"Bring her back to us. Rebuild us."

And then a plan began to form in Jareth's mind.
