The Task

"Sarah? Where are you going?" Father asked her. It honestly was closer to demanded but that's just a technicality, right?

"Father, I'm going babysitting. The Myers' need one for tonight and I would like some extra pocket money."

Father frowned. "But I thought you didn't like to baby sit. That you wanted to go on dates?"

Sarah laughed. "Oh daddy, I don't need to date. And besides, I was just being silly." Sarah didn't need dates for she knew that there was only one man who would satisfy her deepest and darkest desires.

Father smiled then. "Alright dear. And I truly am happy to see that you have decided that the leather didn't suit your look."

Sarah looked at what she was wearing. A purple sweatshirt and light blue jeans. Off white trainers could be seen under the hem of the jeans. She smiled at Father. "I'll see you later tonight then. Don't wait up, Daddy."

Stepmother was putting Toby to bed, so she didn't have to see that hateful face. The thought made her smile all the brighter.

The walk from her house to the Myers' house was short but Sarah had plenty of time at her disposal. She sauntered down the street humming a popular song from the radio to her self. She didn't know most of the words but she sung the ones she did know quietly. The night was warm. If he came to her once she made her wish, then perhaps she could convince him to take a walk with her. She could imagine them sharing a first kiss in the center of the bridge in the little park.

All too soon she arrived at the house. Ringing the doorbell, Mr. Myers opened it and ushered Sarah inside. She smiled warmly at him and when he asked if she needed anything she reassured him that all will be well and enjoy the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Myers left on their date, holding hands like a teenage couple. They told Sarah to enjoy herself and she promised she would.

The child's name was Teddi. An odd name, to be sure, but it suited this strange little girl somehow. She was only three years old but watched solemnly as Sarah entered her bedroom. She watched as if knowing that Sarah was going to wish this odd little girl to a feared and hated Goblin King. Sarah smiled coolly at the baby. How she detested children.

"Hello Teddi, how are you?" Sarah cooed to the child. She didn't answer. Sarah pulled out her battered copy of 'The Labyrinth'. "Would you like to hear a story, Teddi?"

The small girl, didn't speak as her eyes were dead with emotion. Sarah grinned wildly. "I will tell you one anyway. It all started with a young girl who lived with her wicked stepmother…."

"911 emergency, how can I direct you?" The operator paused as he listened to the hysterical woman.

"Please, mam, calm down as best you can, we are sending an ambulance over. What is your address?"

The sirens echoed through the streets following closely behind their police escorts.

"How could she do such a thing? My baby…" Mrs. Myers broke into helpless sobs once again as she interrogated Robert. The broken, once bleeding body of her daughter lay in the ambulance, ready to be sent to the morgue in the basement of the hospital. They had found Sarah passed out over Teddi's dead body, holding a small book with red binding.

The book held no title for it was a journal. It was a story which Sarah wrote. It began as a journal entry stating how bad it was at school and how her classmates teased her and how her drama teacher kicked her out of class on Friday for acting out of turn. The rest of it held a fantastical story of a cruel king and the brave heroin. The last page held shaky handwriting which read:

Stepmother did it again! She took my mothers necklace! This time I will steal it and never give it back! I can't believe her! She says that father gave it to her but I don't believe it! She can't take my mother's things! Just because she died and now Stepmother has taken her place. She'll take everything from me and I will have NOTHING! But never mind that. I will always have the Goblin King by my side. He told me to give the children to him. I will. I'm going to baby sit tonight. The Myers' kid. I'll give her to him. He will like that. Maybe he will let me go home with him. I want to go home. I want to see the Labyrinth again. The magic there. And the best thing ever, there is no children and no adults. It would just be my love and me and the goblins…

The cover was drenched in blood. Sarah had beat the child to death with her journal. Robert walked over to the police car which held her. The police woman standing by gave him a curt nod, allowing him to speak to his daughter. The lights were tracing patterns over her pale skin.

He called softly to her, hoping not to startle her. "Sarah? Honey, what did you do?"

Sarah turned very slowly to look at him her face blank and her eyes only dark pools of black under her brows. She smiled suddenly, her face brightening eerily in the dark and the lights. "Daddy! You will be so proud of me! He's here with me now. He will be with me forever. I hope you like him, daddy. I hope you like him. He says he likes you." Robert wanted to cry. His daughter was crazy.

"Jareth? Where are you?"

"I'm here my love." He purred into her ear as he ran kisses up and down her neck. Sarah shivered in delight.

"There is the child you wanted, Jareth! Did I do well?" Sarah pointed at the little girl who slept on the ground.

Jareth didn't look at the child but instead turned Sarah to face him. He took her face between his strong hands and looked into her black eyes. "I love you." He said and kissed her, maneuvering his mouth over hers. He pulled back and smiled sweetly at her.

Sarah leaned into him and embraced him, listening to his heart beat. Strange, she couldn't hear anything. She looked at the child sleeping peacefully on the floor again then whispered. "Jareth? Why is there so much blood?"
