When the light faded Sarah found herself stood outside of a New York hospital. The previous events seemed like a faded dream now she was back in reality. She noticed that she was in her old clothes and her hair was untidy again. She ran through the main doors and headed straight to the reception desk.

"Hi can you tell me where I can find Toby Williams, a six year old boy, I'm his sister." she said hastily.

After searching through her notes the receptionist answered.

"Yes, you'll find him on the third floor, in room twenty-six.

"Thank you" said Sarah as she ran towards the lift. When she finally reached the room she wiped her tears away from her eyes and unwarily entered the doors.

In the room she saw two nurses, one looking through her notes and the other tending to the hospital bed. Her father stood quietly and as much as he tried to look calm Sarah saw straight through his composed disguise and new he was truly worried. Her stepmother broke into tears as she leant beside the bed. For a woman so strong-minded and stubborn Sarah was disturbed by her sorrow. And then she saw Toby. Sarah trembled at the sight of her ill little brother. His ghostly white face lay there still as he struggled for his breath, his bright blue eyes had faded to grey shadows of gloom. The five year old little boy looked frail and helpless. Sarah tried to fight back her tears. She did not want her brother to think that his big sister was troubled by him.

"What's wrong with him" she said.

"We don't know" said her father as his held his arm out to Sarah. She leaned in towards her father as he held her tight. She had never been close to him in this way before. He was always a practical man, helping her with homework and fixing her bike, but he never once hugged her in such a way or expressed his love for his daughter. Sarah longed for the day her father would hug her. But now it didn't seem to help at all. Not while Toby was lying there powerless.

A doctor came in the room.

"We'll need to do some tests on Toby now to find out the problem, if you wouldn't mind waiting outside I can assure you he will be in safe hands."

"How long will it take" asked Sarah's father.

"Oh it shouldn't take too long, please, your son should be fine."

Sarah and her family left the ward and congregated in the waiting room. Never had the name 'waiting room' been so appropriate as it did at that moment. That's all they seemed to do; wait and wait and wait. They waited in total silence with Sarah sitting quietly on her own and her parents clutching each other anxiously. It seemed like they had been waiting for hours when really it had been thirteen minutes.

When the doctor finally came out of Toby's ward he had a strange look on his face. Sarah and her parents quickly stood up. The most terrible stomach-churning feeling lurked within Sarah as the doctor approached.

"What's wrong" asked Sarah's stepmother, "Is my son alright?"

"Your son…" said the doctor, "…is fine."

"What" they all asked curiously.

"Astonishingly Toby has made a miraculous recovery. I'm quite surprised myself, but he should be able to go home tomorrow" said the doctor.

Sarah and her parents sighed with relief as they cheerfully wrapped their arms around each other. Sarah tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. She had never been so relieved in her life. She had almost lost her brother once before and to lose him again would be unbearable.

An hour later and it was Sarah's turn to see Toby. She wanted to see him on his own because she knew that she couldn't say much in front of her father and stepmother. She felt more comfortable when it was just her and her brother. She saw his cheery little face light up when she walked in. There was no doubt about it. Toby had made a phenomenal recovery. His face was no longer white, but was full with colour. His eyes had bounced back to vivid blue again and his mouth was not struggling to breathe, but beamed out a big friendly smile. She sat down beside him and held his hand.

"Hey champ" she said and gave him a smile.

"Hey Sarah" said Toby. "Did you miss me."

"You bet I did, you had us all worried for a moment."

"Mommy said I was a murkel, what's a murkel Sarah?" he asked.

"Murkel? I don't…oh I think you mean miracle. It means that it was amazing how you got better so quickly. We didn't think you was going to get well so soon. Not even the doctors know how you got better."

"Doctor don't know about goblins?" asked Toby.

Sarah looked at him curiously. "What goblins?" she asked.

"Goblins fixed me, goblins came in when doctor went out and gave me bubble ball, and bubble ball made me better."

Sarah couldn't believe what she was hearing. The goblins had cured Toby. Those things that had earlier been brutally attacking her had healed her little brother.

"Sarah, what's wrong" asked Toby as he saw the puzzled look on her face.

"Nothing" she said as she patted his head. "Nothing at all."

A couple of hours after and Sarah left the hospital. It was almost ten o'clock and Sarah wanted to get home after an unusual long day. She knew that Toby was safe and well and she had promised him that she would visit him first thin in the morning, so she went to the bus stop and boarded the Number 5 back to her Manhattan apartment. She sat down on the backseat and stared out of the window thinking about what her brother said to her. The thought of the goblins were all that was on her mind. She didn't really know what to make of them. They were so mean to her but so helpful to her brother. She tried not to let the thoughts trouble her too much but she couldn't help it. Her brain was occupied with the goblins. She had even gone delusional as she could see the goblins outside the window of the bus as it departed. They were standing there outside of the hospital looking straight at her. Then she thought. She wasn't going delusional. The goblins were really there. And so was there King. Jareth stood there as Sarah gazed in surprise. He was smiling at her, and then he gave her a wink. Sarah coyly smiled back as the bus left the hospital so they were no longer in sight. She couldn't believe that Jareth had cured her little brother.
Sarah sat in her apartment and lay on her bed in her night clothes looking back on her day. So many things had happened. Her feelings were like a roller-coater of emotions. In one day she had felt happy, sad, angry, scared, infatuated and relieved, and she still did not know what to make of it all. One thing was for sure. No matter how cruel the Goblin King had been to her in the past, she had to be thankful for what he did for Toby.

"Thank you Jareth" she whispered.

"Don't thank me, thank the goblins" said a voice.

Sarah looked up and saw the Goblin King standing in her bedroom. She was getting a little annoyed of him always sneaking up on her.

"Well, I suppose it was me that told them to do it. So I guess you could thank me" he said and grinned at her.

"Well I guess we're even now then aren't we" she said.

"Yes, I guess we are" said Jareth. "As long as that's settled then I wish you a goodnight." Jareth turned around and opened her door.

"Stay" she whispered.

He turned back round.

"What?" he asked in surprise.

"I…I want you to stay." she said.

Jareth slowly shut her bedroom door and walked up to her bed. He sat down as she sat up to face him. He passionately looked into her eyes and leaned towards her. She leaned into him and parted her lips ready to kiss him. But his mouth went passed her lips and whispered softly in her ear.

"Sarah" he said. "I hope you know that this is what you really want."

She pulled back and looked at him.

"It is" she said.

"Just because I saved your brother it does not mean that you owe me anything."

"I know" she said.

"And I must warn you that I do not like being exploited. You must tell me that this is what you really want."

"Yes, it is" she said.

Jareth put his gloved hand on her face and stroked hair away. He pressed his lips against hers and slowly devoured her wholesome quintessence. For the second time she tasted his mysterious spirit. His kisses were like forbidden fruit; wrong but mouth-wateringly pleasant. The heart of Labyrinth swept through her soul as his mouth consumed her delicate mouth and neck. His arms wrapped around her tightly as he pulled her closer and lay her down on the bed. His hands savagely ripped off her clothes and her hands hastily pulled at his attire. He pressed his hips against hers as she whispered his name. His hands caressed her silky skin until she gasped at his touch. She draped her arms around his shoulder as he inserted his essence into her purity. She groaned with pleasure and delight as her long-awaited need for total satisfaction was fulfilled. Their hearts beated as one as the rhythm of their bodies pulsated together. All of Sarah's built-up emotions of the day released with her energy of this one passionate moment. The moment that Jareth had claimed her and she gave up all of her power to him. Sarah could not deny that this moment gave her sensations that she never knew she could feel.

When all of their energy had been unleashed they lay together silently as he held her tightly in his arms letting Sarah fall into a deep sleep until the morning would come to greet them.
