Sarah woke up and looked around her, wondering where she was. She got off the huge bed she had been lying in and noticed she was still wearing her work uniform. She remembered bits of the dream and wondered if it was a dream or if it was real. Nothing is as it seems as she had found out.

She walked out of the door and began exploring the twists and turns of the corridors before her. Somehow she felt like she knew it, but she wasn't sure how. She heard giggling in the distance and looked around her, trying to figure out which direction it was coming from.

'I recognise that girly giggle!'

"Amy!" She shouted, the sound filling the space around her.

Amy appeared before her in a second. No fancy entrance, no gimmicks, she just appeared. She was still even in her pyjamas, or what looked like pyjamas anyway. "Being nosy already Sarah? Well I should have guessed that really. So, do you want the official tour? Or do you want breakfast first?"

"Umm…breakfast sounds good." Sarah said quietly. She took Amy's hand as it was offered to her, and they walked in silence to the main hall.

Amy was heartbroken. The fiery Sarah she once knew was no where to be seen, and in her place was a quiet timid Sarah. What could be so bad that she had to change so much? When they got to the main hall and were waiting for breakfast, Sarah was still quiet. It was so unlike her that it made Amy feel uneasy.

"Morning all." Wyatt said brightly as he came through the door.

Amy watched as Sarah visibly tensed and backed away in her chair. She remembered him then.

"Sarah its ok." Amy said quietly, putting her hand on Sarah's.

Sarah turned to Amy, her face that of anger and fright. "How can you say that Amy?" She whispered, looking towards Wyatt. "He took you away."

"Sarah nothing is as it seems remember. I have a lot of explaining to do, and I can do that later but what you need to know now is that Wyatt did that to keep me safe. He was trying to help. Ok?"

Sarah didn't say another word, she just nodded and started eating the food that had just been put in front of her.

"She seems…different. Sure you got the right Sarah?" Wyatt said as Amy pulled him out of the door. They had excused themselves from the table and left Sarah there.

"Yes Im sure. Something's wrong Wyatt! I can feel it. I don't know what it is though, its just a feeling I get around her. She's not being herself and it's started to freak me out. This isn't the Sarah I remember."

"You must give her time to adjust my love. Think about what she had to do. She left the school when you came here, she thought you were dead. She moved to London away from family and friends, away from her life. Her life has been turned upside down Amy. She may not be the Sarah you remember, but give her time and she will be."

"So…do you want me to take you on the official tour or would you rather explore on your own?" Amy said to Sarah as they met outside the main door to the castle. Amy had shown Sarah where to get dressed so she was no longer in her work uniform. She had never liked dresses so she picked out a pair of nice black pants and a white top. The top few buttons were undone and her glittering owl necklace was visible at the top. Her hair was tied up loosely in a pony tail. Amy had got changed too. She was now wearing a long silvery dress as she always did now. Her hair was held back from her face by a thin silver headband with a few curly tendrils surrounding her face and her skin looked bright and fresh as always.

"Umm…Ill go on my own. It'll give me chance to think about stuff." Sarah mumbled quietly. She started off down the steps leaving Amy at the top just staring after her. She turned to go back inside and saw Wyatt stood behind her.

"She'll be fine." He wrapped his arms around her waist as she rested her head on his chest. "Jareth is here now. Shall I tell him to have a wander? They'll bump into each other out there somewhere."

Amy giggled as she buried her head against his chest. "Yeah might as well. It'll keep them busy for a while."

Jareth arrived in the throne room and Wyatt told him the plan for the day.

"You want me to…go for a wander?" Jareth said unbelievingly. He could always tell when his brother was up to something, and right now he knew there was something going on.

"Yeah, well Im gonna be busy for a while and Amy's gone back aboveground for a few hours to see her parents so you might as well. Will pass the time." Wyatt was trying so hard but he just wanted to tell him.

"Alright Wyatt, what's going on?"

"I don't know what you mean little brother."

"I mean your being shifty, so your up to something."

"Well I am, but I cant tell you, Amy would kill me"

"Just tell me, I wont let her know"

Wyatt stopped for a moment and thought about it. She wouldn't know if he told Jareth now. It would be a lot easier if he knew, then he would keep looking and not come back till he found her. "Sarah is here."

Jareth was silent, staring at Wyatt. "Sarah? Here?" He walked across the room and looked out over the Labyrinth. It was the same to his in everyway and reminded him of home while he was here. Now all he could think of was that Sarah was out there somewhere. "Out there in the Labyrinth?"

"Yes, yes and yes." Wyatt said, walking over to join his brother. "She's in a bad way Jareth."

Jareth turned suddenly. "What happened?"

"She lost someone very close to her. And she had no one to turn to so Amy brought her here." He stopped and walked towards the door. "Go find her, and be nice." He said over his shoulder as he left.

Jareth watched as his brother disappeared out of the door. He turned back to look at the Labyrinth and whispered. "I will try."

The return of Jareth!! Love it!
