Crystal Dreams Chapter 14: The Game Is Over, a labyrinth fanfic

I don't own the Labyrinth or its character, I do own all characters that I have made up…which Im not sure are going to be in this chapter but they might be…and I own the storyline!

I used an idea from another story, Never Go THAT Way by Jordyn Taymor, who got the idea from SileaLove, all credit for that idea goes to them and that is a brilliant storry! Well worth a read!

Enjoy!

As distractions go, Jareth was pretty good! He knew exactly what would distract Sarah the most and used that information to win, to get his wish…

Sarah knew what he would do. She purposely hadn't told him not to distract her, just to see what he would do, and if she would be able to resist his charms…She wasn't sure yet though, if she wanted to resist or not. Part of her wanted to let him win, just to see what his wish was. But then her competitive side kicked in and forced her on through the Labyrinth faster. She had been surprised to find the gate quiet easily, even without asking Hoggle like she had done last time. She had forgotten though, what the worm said to her at the start.

"This is a Labyrinth, there aren't any turns or corners anywhere it just goes on and on. Its not fair!"

"Yeah there are. Your just not seeing them." Sarah heard a small voice say beside her. She looked on the wall and saw a small green worm with a red scarf and hat sat on a brick that was jutting out of the wall.

"But…Theres just wall. Theres no way through. I need to get to the castle, I cant loose!"

The worm looked at her and pointed its tail across from where they were. "Just walk to that wall."

Sarah did as she was told, holding her hands out in front of her, and she passed straight through! "What…?"

"This is the Labyrinth my dear. Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems."

"Yeah…Thanks." She turned down the left passage when she heard the little voice again.

"Don't go that way!" The worm shouted as loud as it could, which for Sarah wasn't that loud.

Sarah looked down both the passageways. They both looked the same. "Why?

"If you go down that way, it'll lead you straight to that castle, nasty goblins, nasty King!"

"But I want to go to the castle?" She said, looking down the passageways again. "I need to get there as fast as I can."

"Weeell why didn't you say so! Just keep going down that way, don't turn off it and you'll be there in no time. Just watch out for the goblins Miss, and that Goblin King."

"Thank you so much!" Sarah exclaimed, running ahead. She wondered how long it would take her to get there now, and what Jareth's reaction would be when he found her there so early.

Maybe he already knew?

Was it all just a trick?

She stopped for a moment and looked back. There was no way she could go back, she didn't know where she had come in, so she didn't know where to turn off. The Labyrinth was harder than she thought. She started walking again, looking closely to see if there were any openings. She didn't spot any, but she remembered what the worm said to her, nothing is what it seems. She started running her hands along the wall, and gasped when she lost the feeling of stone beneath her fingers. She stepped out towards where her hand was, and started running along that passageway. It seemed darker than the others, and Sarah wasn't sure she should have gone that way. Hadn't the worm said not to turn off? She cursed herself for being so stupid, and stepped back to get on the right track.

She stepped straight into a wall. It had closed up after she walked through, and now there was no way out. It was getting darker in the passage, and Sarah pushed herself up against the wall, her hands balling up over her eyes. She heard laughter, but it wasn't the nice sort of laughter that she would have liked to hear. It got closer, and closer, until she could feel a presence near her. Someone else was here.

"Hello?" She said timidly into the darkness. No reply. Maybe she was just being stupid and now she was wasting more time. She stood away from the wall, ready to continue through the Labyrinth, but screamed as she felt nothing below her feet and started to fall. there was nothing for her to grab onto, she tried to hold onto what she thought were vines but they slithered away from her, shrinking at her touch.

With all the strength she had in her she latched onto the wall, scrapping her arms and legs as she did. Pain shot through her but she knew there was no way she was getting out of this alone. She called on the only person that could help her.

"JARETH!"

Jareth was in his throne room waiting for Sarah to appear. He didn't trust his own wished, so had given the worm instructions to tell her about the short cut. With his information, he felt sure she would be there soon. But then he heard her calling for him, and knew something was wrong.

"JARETH!"

It echoed through the room, causing his goblins to scream and cover their ears. What could have happened that would cause her such distress? He appeared in seconds, floating in darkness. She couldn't be here!

"Sarah?" He called out in the darkness. He heard her scream, and then heard rubble start to shift. She was falling. Quickly he produced a crystal and threw it up to help him see where Sarah was. He was searching the black abyss below him, when he heard more rubble start to shift and a few rocks flew past him from above. He looked up, and saw his Sarah there, clinging for dear life to the rocks.

"Sarah let go, I'll catch you!" He called out to her.

Sarah was shocked to hear him, and as she looked down at him her she lost her balance and the rocks slipped away beneath her. Now she really was falling. She tried to stop herself by reaching out her hands, but that only had her injuries worse. Jareth caught her and pulled her against him so she wouldn't reach out once again to the wall.

"I have to finish." She whispered meekly into his shoulder.

"The game is over Sarah." Jareth whispered back before transporting them both back to the castle.
