Jareth and Valarie appeared at the beginning of the labyrinth right behind a woman and a boy. Jareth and Valarie stepped behind the tree so the two wouldn't see them. At least for now.
"You knew," Henry said softly as he stared at the never-ending maze. "You knew!" he said getting more angry. "All this time you knew! And what's worse is you lied to me about it!"
"I was only trying to protect you," Sarah said weakly. "I didn't want you to face the same things I did."
"By lying to me? By telling me to give up my childhood? By saying everything I believed in was a bunch of nonsense?" Henry asked getting more tense.
"But I…" Sarah started.
"No!" Henry interrupted. "I can't believe you about anything anymore. I can't trust you!"
"Henry, if anything happened to you I couldn't live with myself," Sarah tried to explain.
"You are a terrible mother! I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now!" Henry shouted. He covered his mouth with his hands.
"What did you just say?" Sarah asked feeling extremely nervous.
"No, I-I didn't mean it!" Henry panicked.
"Oh, you didn't?" Jareth asked sarcastically appearing between the two causing them to fall back.
Valarie watched from behind the tree. She had never seen her father in action before, and she couldn't believe that she was finally seeing it now.
"Jareth," Sarah growled under her breath.
"Sarah? Long time no see," Jareth mocked looking over her.
"But… but…" Henry tried to say.
"Sorry, lad, but you know how this works," Jareth smirked disappearing with Sarah.
Henry just stood there in shocked silence for a minute two. Valarie was still watching from behind the tree. "Well, I guess it's time for me to take it away," Valarie said to herself under her breath.
"But… But I didn't mean it!" Henry called out over the labyrinth.
"What's said is said," Valarie said appearing behind Henry.
"Who are you?" Henry asked with tremble in his voice.
"That's not important," Valarie said walking in front of Henry. "You want your mother back. Don't you?" Valarie teased. Henry just silently nodded. "Well, you see that castle at the center of the labyrinth?" Valarie asked pointing in the castle's direction.
Henry looked where Valarie was pointing. "Yes," he said his voice still shaking.
"If you can get through the labyrinth to my father's castle in the next thirteen hours, we let you and your mother go home," Valarie smirked.
"That's it?" Henry asked. "That's all I have to do?"
"Well, if you don't make it on time, your mother cannot leave… ever," Valarie stated as she started to disappear.
"Wait!" Henry called.
"Such a pity," Valarie laughed.
When Valarie had disappeared, Henry looked out over the labyrinth. "Well," he said to himself. "no use sitting around here," he said going towards the labyrinth. "I'm coming, Mom!" Henry shouted.
