Return To Labyrinth

Messages

'Fear me. Love me. Do as I say and I will be your slave.' That was the last thing Sarah heard when she so-called 'defeated' Jareth, the Goblin King.

"Sarah? Sarah Williams? Can you reply to the question please?" A male voice could be heard through the glass with Sarah on the other side, her sitting in a chair with cords attached to her. Her surrounds were white and plain with nothing on the walls. Only a mirror that was a glass window on the other side.

Sarah didn't speak. She didn't move. She didn't move an inch when she sat down on the chair. "What was the question again?" Sarah spoke softly. The doctor sighed deeply.

"Can you describe who 'Jareth' is? Who is... Jareth, Sarah?"

"...Jareth is the king of the Goblin City... his castle is located in the centre of the labyrinth.."

"Do you mean the labyrinth that you had to solve... to find your baby brother?" The doctor asked through the microphone as he pushed the button. He let go of the button every time he finished speaking.

"Toby... Jareth took my brother away... because I wished for it. I wished for my brother to be taken away."

"Why did you wish for that? Sarah? Why did you wish for your brother to be taken away from you?"

"Because he wouldn't stop crying..."

Sarah sat on the floor that was next to the window, tapping on it a few times as she stared out of it. As she continued to tap on the glass, she saw something that looked like bubbles. Sarah slowly stood up with both her hands pressed against the glass. They weren't bubbles. They were crystals.

Sarah started crying but also began to laugh as she jumped up and down. "Jareth! Jareth! He's here! Jareth is here! He's here!" Sarah screamed as tears streamed down her face. She was jumping up and down while banging on the glass.

The guards dragged Sarah away from the window as she was screaming Jareth's name, watching the crystals (that only she could see) disappear. The guards threw Sarah into her room and looked the door. "Fucking nutcase." One of the guards said as they walked away.

Sarah sat on the floor, looking outside the window. She say the crystal balls again and leapt up from the floor to the window, pressing herself against it. " Jareth... I see you... I see you, Jareth." Sarah whispered as she cried. "I want to be back in the Goblin City with you... take me back with you, Jareth. Hear me and take me back." Sarah sniffled, her hands shaking. She scrunched her hands up into fists and started banging her fists on the glass hard. "TAKE ME BACK! TAKE ME TO THE GOBLIN CITY WITH YOU! I WISH JARETH WOULD TAKE ME BACK TO THE GOBLIN CITY RIGHT NOW!" Sarah screamed loudly as she banged onto the glass.

The glass broke and Sarah nearly fell out of the building but got stopped by a wind like force, making the girl fall back onto the floor. She looked up and saw him. Jareth. The Goblin King himself. She slowly stood up, her breath trembling.

"You heard it... you heard my wish... you heard my wish, thank you. Thank you for hearing my wish." Sarah cried more as she walked up to him.

"Of course, darling. I knew you would be wishing to come back." Jareth smirked down at her. He took out his hand, showing a crystal ball. "Do you want it?" The King asked the girl who nodded. She took out her hands as Jareth put the ball in her hands. "Keep it. It's a present. From me to you." Sarah looked up at the King, smiling widely with tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you... your majesty.." Sarah sniffled and held the ball in her hands close to her.

"Come, Sarah... I'll take you home." Jareth spoke as he took his hand out to the girl, Sarah slowly holding his hand back.
