As I was writing this chapter I was also doing my research for college and I found a song I really think fits with Sarah and Jareth. Its from the musical Jekyll & Hyde and its called Someone Like you. I use a few bits of that in the chapter but I changed the ordering a bit to fit in with it. I don't own it I just love it, same with the Labyrinth. I don't own Sarah or Jareth but I could have so much fun if I did!
Enjoy!

Sarah wandered around the castle for a while once she had left Amy. She found a garden and sat there collecting her thoughts before moving on to another place. She found a lily pond with a huge tree at the edge. As she looked closer she saw 'Amy+Wyatt' carved in a heart. Sarah laughed at this, Amy had always been such a romantic.
It was while she was looking there that she noticed something else. A gate. A huge gate that was drawing her there. She walked round the tree and looked up at it. It looked so familiar.
"Well there's no point just standing here looking at it." She commented to herself. "Come on feet."
It opened as she stepped forward and she didn't hesitate to go in. she looked both ways and decided she would go left. When she moved away, she heard the gate close behind her and somehow knew there was no way out back that way. She had to move on, to move forward.
Sarah was lost. As she took different twists and turns, a memory resurfaced in her mind. She remembered a song. One she had been practicing when she wanted to be an actress. She started singing softly , the sound strange to her at first but she found it soothing.
"I peer through windows,
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow,
And wonder "why"?
The past is holding me,
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly -
But scared to try."
It seemed to mirror her thoughts she was forever haunted by her past and she hated it. Even here, in the Labyrinth, she was reminded of her past. Wishing away her brother was a stupid thing to do and she had forever regretted it.
She found herself in a new maze. The garden maze. She remembered from the last time she was in the Labyrinth that this meant she was close. Very close.
"But if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Found me!"
Sarah stopped. She was lost. She looked around her and saw two creatures in front of two doors. One was blue and one was read, and each had one head at the top and one on the bottom.
"Hey! I know you!" She exclaimed, running over to them. She heard a crunching sound and knew that a wall had moved behind her, forcing her to choose a door.
"We don't know you miss" Said the top of the blue one.
"Nope we don't" Said the top of the red one.
"I saw you last time I was here!" But then she remembered, she wasn't in the Goblin Kings Labyrinth, she was in Wyatt's. "Actually you wont remember me. You just look familiar." She said at last, feeling more lost than ever.
"Fair enough. Gonna pick one of us then?" They all said in unison. Sarah inwardly giggled but tried to keep a straight face.
"Well…" She said, looking at them all. "Which one leads me to the castle, Im so lost and I need to get back to my friends fast. I know two of you always lie and two of you tell the truth so we can skip that part.
"Actually we all tell the truth." Said the top red one.
Sarah looked at them all, trying to see if he was telling the truth. She smiled as she figured it out. "Your lying!"
They all looked at her in shock. "But…how do you know?" asked the bottom red one.
"Easy. He wouldn't look me in the eye when he said it. If someone doesn't look you in the eye when they say something you know they are lying." She put her hands on her hips and looked them all in the eye to prove her point.
"Fair enough. So, which one do you pick?" They said in unison again.
She walked to the blue door, confident that they wouldn't lie to her. "Does this drop me in an oubliette?"
"Yes." Was the immediate answer from both of them.
She smiled and walked over to the red door. "Which means this one leads to the castle! Thanks!" she opened the door and stepped through…falling down into the oubliette as she did.
"You should have asked if they both led to an oubliette!" They all shouted after her.

Jareth was running through the Labyrinth. Sarah was here. His Sarah. He had waited so long to see her now. He didn't want to wait any longer. He stopped as he got to the garden maze. There were so many entrances here that led to so many different places, she could be anywhere and he could search days for her. He didn't have a chance.
Then he remembered the markings she had made in his Labyrinth. He could use them!
He summoned a crystal and threw it at the floor, "Show me Sarah!" He shouted as it smashed on the paved tiles. One of them started to move and he walked towards it. Sure enough, there it was. The red lipstick mark that she had made. He followed the direction it pointed and stopped as he saw another moving. He followed that and all the rest that showed him the way. They led him to the guarded doors and laughed as he remembered her last time there. She had tried to be so smart and work it out, but she got them mixed up. In his Labyrinth the blue ones always lied and the red ones told the truth. Here it was different though. Jareth liked being different to his brother.
He walked over to the blue one and stopped. "Did a girl come past here recently? A very pretty girl with dark hair?"
"Yes." They said immediately.
"Brilliant! Where did she go?" He couldn't hide the excitement in his voice but he didn't really want to.
No one spoke. The red one moved aside as the door swung open.
"She went through there?" He asked the blue one again.
"Yes."
He smiled kindly at them and said "Thanks!" before jumping straight down the hole into the oubliette.

Sarah landed in a very un-ladylike heap on the floor of the oubliette. "Fuck!" She cursed as she looked around her. There was no door on the floor like last time. And she didn't have Hoggle to help her. "Now what?!" She shouted and it echoed around the room. She tried standing up but stopped as a sharp pain shot through her leg. She shuffled herself across the floor on her bum, and leant against the wall. She could call for Amy? She decided not to yet. It was peaceful in here. Cold and dark, but peaceful.
She started humming to herself and singing the last bit of the song. She remembered it so clearly now, and she even heard the melody playing in her head.
"So many secrets
I've longed to share!
All I have needed
Is someone there,
To help me see a world
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free,
So I can soar!
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,"
She closed her eyes as she belted out the last bit of the song, her voice echoing around the room loudly.
"Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
There'd be a new way to live,
A new life to love,"
She heard a thump on the floor and opened her eyes to see the goblin king stood before her. She finished the song in a whisper, looking into his mismatched eyes as she did.
"If someone like you
Loved me..."
