Chapter 14
Sarah knew something was off. She picked up the little trinkets and set them back down one by one. Music box, check. Lancelot, check. Something was missing. Panda slippers, check. What was it? What was missing? What couldn't she find? She realized then how quiet it was. It was too quiet. Too serene. Her parents were not fighting? Could that be why? No. Her mother had left them; had left her. Then why did she expect noise?
She sat on the edge of her bed and thought very hard. When it came to her it was as though a light bulb turned on over her head. "Toby." She said it on a breath. How could she have forgotten about Toby? It felt oddly familiar. The situation. But, she couldn't remember where. Where am I? She stood and walked toward the door. Why am I here? She clasped the door knob and pulled it open. Where am I? The world seemed as though it were falling down around her ears. Sarah was staring out into nothing. No hallway, no exit, no escape. Just...nothing. She could hear something behind her and she turned but the familiar room was gone. A man was yelling though. It was distinct. Familiar. Who was it?
Sarah began walking to the voice. She wasn't sure if she was making progress. She knew that something was wrong here but she couldn't place her finger on it. Another voice began. Both male and now shouting at each other. She couldn't walk any farther. She wasn't tired it was just that the endless abyss had abruptly...ended. She started blinking trying to clear her vision as the darkness swirled around her.
"You were the one who brought her back here!" Accused the first voice.
"You were one who plucked her out of the real world first! The TARDIS probably chose here because of you!" Defended the other.
Sarah moaned with a headache. Everywhere she went there was screaming. Maybe it was her? She shifted slightly where she lay.
"Would you two stop shouting! She's waking up." Rose leaned over the couch, moved the hair out of the young woman's eyes. "You okay?" She had a beautiful smile and Sarah shook her head 'yes'.
The shouting had stopped. Now, though, it was whoops of excitement followed immediately by scolding hushes. The goblins ran back out of the door to tell a myriad of Labyrinth inhabitants that Sharalady was awake.
Jareth stood sullenly in the corner as the Doctor and Rose tended to Sarah. He had tried to talk to her but it was clear that was useless. She seemed afraid of him. Fear me, check. He tried to glower but his fear for her wouldn't let it stick. She was a guest of his Labyrinth. A guest he was particularly fond of and he couldn't even say that she would be safe here. Because every time he would step closer she would mewl and hug the Doctor. Jareth was beginning to wonder "companion" really did mean something else.
