AN: Chapter Seven. K, I have a little explaining to do. You know my lil rape scene? Well, I only have that in this story because before I wrote this, I wrote a little tid bit of a story where sarah and jareth are in love, and in that story there was a sex scene, and I took that scene and put it in this story, but had to change it around to rape. And its here… kind of like an ode to the people that want to sleep with david bowie. And also cause that story didn't make it onto fan fiction, so I put one of the scenes in here to remember my first labyrinth story. ;;; Like really, I had to have a raunchy scene. I just had to write about bowie's…. (lol sarah) bulge.

Chapter Seven:

I wouldn't ever see him, or speak to him again. They took him away, my Goblin King. He saved my life, and yes, I am grateful. Damon said he would be merciful… but he still took Jareth to the ruler they call 'Him'. There is so much about Jareth that I do not know, and I am sad to leave the Goblin City and never find out what makes him tick. They said I was to go back to my life, return to my family. I would never be bothered by the Underground again.

The last time I saw Jareth was when he caught me before I fainted. There was so much I wished to ask him, but the elves took him away, and I could not say goodbye to my husband.

Sarah sat on a red chair in a cozy living room, opposite a small dwarf. The little man was there to transport her back to her world.

"Am I going to remember everything that happened to me?" Sarah asked the dwarf.

"Yes, I am here to transport you, not erase your mind." He patted her hand, while looking down at a big book on his lap.

"Will my parent's remember?"

"Yes, I am not erasing anyone's mind. You were gone three days, and unless your parents were gone those days and didn't know you weren't home, they will remember you being gone."

"Do you know if they are all right?"

"No, I know nothing of what happened to your family. Nobody does, the seeing witches only come to this area once a year, we only know what Jareth saw of your parents, and that was of you and them crashing, and dying."

"Will I be able to age again once I am back?"

"Yes, the immortal spell only works in the Underground, but if one day you come back, you will be immortal once more. Basically immortal here, mortal there."

They sat in silence for a while, and then the dwarf was ready. "Close your eyes, and try to think of your room, your house, and your family."

Sarah sat eyes closed, mouth shut, and silently breathing. Before she knew it, the foggy feeling came over her, and she fainted.

She awoke on her bed. The same bed she spent almost half of her life laying on. The feeling was warm, she felt content, happy, and bursting with joy to see her baby brother, step mom, and father. Sarah threw open the door and ran to her parents room.

Their door was wide open, and nobody was inside. Her brother's room was empty, so was the entire upstairs. She bounded downstairs, shouting for her family. She searched the entire house, looking for something to tell her where they were. There was a stack of missing person signs on her table, with her picture on them. She picked up the phone to call her father's cell phone. Nobody answered.

Before she could call her step mother, the front door opened. She ran out of the room yelling for her parents. Instead of her parents, standing in the door frame was her grandmother, tears streaking down her face. Sarah's grandmother saw her, and her mouth opened in amazement.

"Sarah!?!" Her grandmother rushed forward and threw her arms around the shocked girl. "You are alive… oh no." Before her grandmother could say anything more, she burst into tears, accompanied by Sarah.

They stood there crying and holding each other for many minutes before they both got a hold of themselves.

"Where have you been? What happened to you?" They sat on the blue sofa as the grandmother questioned Sarah.

The elves instructed her before on what to say. "I don't remember Gramma… I just remember being in the house, and then there was a knock on the door and a man dressed all in black was there, and he grabbed me. I don't remember anything after that, just standing in front of the house."

"Nothing? You remember nothing?"

"Yes Gramma, I think I must have… blocked it out?"

"Yes, well, at least you are alright."

"Gramma? Where is Toby and my parents?" Her grandmother sighed deeply, and looked up into Sarah eyes, tears brimming behind her lids.

"I am so sorry my dear. Just this morning… there was an accident."

"An accident? What sort of accident?" Sarah began to feel nauteous, and dug her fingers into the cushions of the couch, awaiting her grandmothers reply.

"Your parents and Toby, they were out driving this morning… There was a man driving too fast. He hit your father's car… Nobody survived." At that, Sarah fell into her grandmother's arms and began to bawl violently. They both shook with loud sobs, and Sarah began to feel faint, but pushed it back, not wanting to be unconscious anymore. Her life was gone, everything she feared would have happened, did happen. Jareth did not save her family, he just saved her.

Throughout the evening Sarah wandered about her house, her grandmother forever trailing, accompanied by her grandfather and aunt, who arrived later on. She was in a daze, her mind trying to comprehend what had happened to her. She only came back to be with her parents and Toby, but they were gone. So why was she here?

They are gone ...He is gone. I will never see them again ...I will never see him again. Why did they have to die? ...Why did he have to lie? I miss them ...I miss him. I loved them …I loved him.

Did he lie? She thought. Maybe he didn't know they were to die. He thought because he took me, they would not be driving at that time, but maybe he was wrong. He must not have known they would die. Didn't he say they were alive? Maybe he just said that to make me stay. Or maybe he said that to make me go? I do not belong here.
