Crystal Dreams Chapter 2: Begginings Are Scary!, a labyrinth fanfic

This should be a longer chapter.

The idea for this came from a few different songs:

Go Figure - Everlife.

All or Nothing - Athena Cage.

Starts With Goodbye - Carrie Underwood.

Dont own them or Sarah, or the Labyrinth, or the quote from the film 'Hope Floats' that I used, I just love each of these things!!

Enjoy!

As she watched her best friend disappear, Sarah felt the knot in her stomach tighten. His arms were still round her. She felt sick! "How could you just let him do that?!" She spat, feeling tears beginning to creep down her cheek. When he didn't say anything she pushed him away and ran out of the room. She needed to get away, but he followed her.

'If I don't get out now, Ill bloody kill him!' She thought as she ran towards the door.

"Go away Jareth!!" She shouted over her shoulder as she ran out of the building. "I don't want to see you ever again!!"

"Sarah don't be a fool!" She felt his hot breath on her neck and ran faster, not even knowing where she was going. "You need me. And you don't have a choice anyway!" She felt him grab her and let out a scream. "I won you. Fair and square as you would say, which means you are mine!"

"No! I don't belong to anyone Jareth!! You didn't win me at all, you were too cowardly to fight your brother! Too cowardly to fight for Amy! She was my best friend you idiot, and you just fucking gave her away!!"

She was fighting him, beating his chest with clenched fists but it made no difference. He didn't let go and she felt the ground shift beneath her. When she looked up, she was in the throne room of him castle. He threw her down on the floor next to his throne and sat down, looking at her. She was seething with rage, it was clear in her eyes how angry and upset she was.

"You cant do that, I didn't make a wish!" She spat at him, getting up and running through a door. It led her straight back to the throne room, because that's where he wanted her to be. "What? But…How did I? It's not FAIR!!"

"You say that but…"

"If you say 'you have no basis for comparison' I swear I will scream!" She was still stood by the door and she saw a few Goblins go past, and remembered the wish! But she decided to give him one chance first.

"Jareth, please just send me home, I don't want to be here"

"I cant do that my love"

"Go away Jareth!!" She shouted over her shoulder as she ran out of the building. "I don't want to see you ever again!!"

"Sarah don't be a fool!" She felt his hot breath on her neck and ran faster, not even knowing where she was going. "You need me. And you don't have a choice anyway!"

Suddenly he grabbed her wrist and the school she knew so well vanished in a cloud of glitter.

"I won you. Fair and square as you would say, which means you are mine!" Jareth threw her on the floor next to his throne and sat down.

"Jareth! I am NOT your love! I am not your anything! I AM NOT YOURS!! I wish you would take me home and never ever contact me again! I wish never to see you again! I wish you would just FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

He didn't even look like he was listening. "How wrong you are Sarah my love, you are mine. That was three wishes anyway, you must be more specific if you want me to be fair."

Sarah could feel herself getting angrier and angrier as he sat there pretending nothing had happened. How could he be so heartless? Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. "I wish the Goblins would take me home. Goodbye Jareth"

Sarah woke in a cold sweat. She was led on the floor, as she had been for the last week when she woke up. She got up, sat on her bed and looked a the glowing red dial of her alarm clock. "Fuck!" She whispered. It was 2:45, same as every other night.

There was a bang at the door and she jumped up, before realising it was just her landlady, Blossy.

"Sarah? Is everything alright doll? Only, we heard a bang?"

"Yeah everything's fine Bloss. I just fell out of bed. Again"

She heard Blossy shuffle away and looked around her small room. It was a terrible room, but at such short notice it was the best she could hope for. The moment she got back from Jareth's castle, she had packed her bags and left. She took all the money she had and bought a plane ticket, one way, to England. She had found somewhere cheap to stay and tried to start again. It was tough, but she remembered what her Mother had always said to her when she had to start in a new place.

"Beginnings are scary. Ending are usually sad, but it's the bit in the middle that's important. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."

All she had to do was to get past her scary beginning. It couldn't be that hard. Could it?

"Sarah, are you ready yet?" Carl shouted up the stairs. It was Halloween and just like every year since she had been here, she was going out with her boyfriend Carl to a party.

Sarah had been in her room for 2 hours getting ready to go out and Carl was getting impatient.

"Sarah! If you don't fucking hurry up Im going without you!"

"Im coming! Jeeze no need to get so stressed, we have ages till it starts!" Sarah said while she ran down the stairs.

"Yeah but I told Jay we'd be there early to help sort stuff out"

"Well you could have told me that! I would have got myself sorted earlier!" Sarah shouted back.

Carl span round and pushed her up against the wall, gripping her arms tight. "Don't shout at me!"

She tried to wriggle free, pushing her legs against him topush him away but it didn't work. "Your hurting me, let go!"

He stopped suddenly and pulled her against him. "Sorry Sarah. I didn't mean to, Im just a little stressed at the moment. I snapped, it wont happen again, I promise"

And she believed him.

-2 YEARS LATER-

The party had already been going for hours. The music was blaring, the drinks were flowing and the hostess was getting a bit annoyed. Sarah didn't like drinking, she just thought it made people do stupid things and then made you be sick, so really what was the point in drinking anything. Because of this though, it had been decided that she could drive everyone home, so Carl could get pissed.

It was time to start rounding people up for her personal taxi service, but no one would listen to her.

"Carl!" She shouted over the music. "I think we should get everyone out now, before something…" They heard a smash in the corner of the room then people started laughing. "…gets broken" She finished too late.

Carl had stopped dancing and had his arms around her waist. "Sarah don't be such a spoil sport, everyone's having fun so just go with it"

"But Im tired, and I cant go bed because Ive still got to take everyone home."

"Sarah! Just chill out! If you want to be a little wimp and miss the party, Ill drive everyone home! Just fuck off then, like I care!" He started dancing again and left Sarah stood on her own not knowing what to do. She knew he felt like that a lot of the time, that he didn't care about her. But to hear him actually say it broke her heart.

She ran up the stairs and into her room, locking the door as she slammed it shut. If he wanted to be so heartless he could sleep in the spare room, Sarah could be heartless too.

She threw herself on the bed and burred her head in her pillow. Despite the loud music and the way she was feeling now, it didn't take her long to fall asleep.

Too short? Im doing my best but I have a full day at college today, I will be back after college to go onto the next chapter!
