'LABYRINTH'

Sarah woke up early. In fact it was still dark out but she found she just couldn't sleep. She had had strange, disturbing dreams of being back in the Labyrinth and of being stalked by Jareth and his pathetic songs. It was odd though, that in her dream she hadn't recognised any of it- she hadn't even recognised him- only known that somehow it had all seemed very familiar. But now that she was awake and reflecting back on her dream, it was pretty clear where she had been and who she had been with. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of her bed, looking out the window which curtain she had forgotton to close before she had exhaustedly gone to bed. Outside, the weather had progressed into a frightful storm- rain beat down onto the windowpane and the trees bent over and whipped back violently in the wind. Lightning cut zigzags in the dark sky and thunder rumbled furiously overhead. It reminded her of the very night where everything had begun; the night the Goblin King had appeared in her parent's bedroom to take the wished away baby back to the Underground with him.

Sarah shuddered at the memory and got up to wander over to the window. A flash of lightning lit up her room in a pale, milky, translucent light. She did not want to recall such events at this time, in the dark. She hated Jareth and hated how cruel he had been to her. It had been so unessesary and selfish of him- what he did- purely for his own entertainment to make her run that labyrinth and the obstacles he had carelessly thrown at her. Cruel. "I don't believe you." She found herself whispering out loud into the dark, as she looked up to the wildly dancing trees outside. Luckily however, it was all over. She had beaten the Labyrinth- she had beaten Jareth and he no longer had any power over her.

Sarah went over to her vanity and sat down, looking at herself in the reflection of the mirror as another flash of lightning momentarily lit up her room. She looked tired, but surprisingly stronger than she thought she would. As much as Sarah would try to deny it, her time spent in the Underground, in the Goblin Kings kingdom had changed her. She got up and was about to go back to her bed and try to get some more sleep when her foot knocked against something on the ground, under the chair. Bending down she saw it- her little red book- 'Labyrinth'. Sarah coughed. Seriously? When would she be able to just forget about it all? All she wanted to remember from her experiance and ordeal were her friends. Curiosity got the better of her however and she picked up the book, taking it with her to her bed. She realised she had never read the end of it. She had only gotton up to the part of "You have no power over me", but there were still a few more pages she had never even looked at. Turning on her bed lamp and blinking against the sudden bright light, she opened the book and propped herself up with a cushion behind her back. She found the spot where she had left off and hastily turned the page over and began to read...and wish she never had done so. It couldn't honestly be true. There written in the book it read:

"She returned home with the child, but the King of the goblins would stop at nothing to have her eventually return to the Labyrinth. He loved the girl and would go through dangers untold and hardships unumbered to claim her back. His will was all the more stronger and the girl had slowly begun to fall for him, until eventually she would go through dangers untold and hardships unumbered all over again to be with him too. For she, without realising it, had fallen in love with the Goblin King and would stop at nothing to eventually return to his Labyrinth and be with him".

Sarah sat bolt upright, reading the words over once more, and then twice. How could this be? She had just defeated him and his Labyrinth, she surely wasn't about to go and fall in love with him! She felt the exact opposite for him- she despised and hated him. Sarah thought back to the ball, and the way she had danced in his arms. She thought about the dream she had just had, and how she had felt, safe against his chest in his comforting hold. But those were just dreams, and sometimes dreams did just decieve us. They didn't just go by our real emotions all the time...

"No!" Sarah said aloud. "It's not fair. I won't believe this for a second". It sounded totally ridiculous- she most definately did not love Jareth and never would either. She snapped the book shut and set it down firmly on her bedside table, turning out the light once more.

Outside, the storm brewed more furiously than ever, matching Sarah's fleeting thoughts.

She had no doubts about the way she felt and she knew that it would never change, but one thought stayed at the back of her mind and she tried furiously to ignore it and to push it down.

Everything else in that book had become real and proved true.
