It had been 3 years since she had journeyed through the labyrinth to reclaim her brother Toby. Since then she has enrolled herself into college, achieving a degree in mythology and literacy, at Harvard. Her Professor's glowed about her, about her imagination and initiative, when in reality, she had relived her days in the labyrinth. Since then, she had landed a contract with a movie producer. She had decided to have 'Labyrinth' turned into a film, so everyone could experience and understand the power of their words. And actions.

Sarah woke up to a police siren coming from the street outside her bedroom, seemingly getting louder as she attempted to burrow under her covers. She growled, throwing the duvet back, her hair cascading down her back.. She looked over to check the time. 11:56pm.

''Just bloody perfect.'' She groaned, gritting her teeth. She collapsed back down onto her pillow and was almost asleep before she heard a gentle knocking on her bedroom door. She fisted her hands, her face screwing up in annoyance. Could she never be left in peace?

It must be Jessica she thought to herself… although it is very unlike her to be awake this early. She sat up once again, rubbing her eyes, and searching around her room for her panda slippers, and glittery housecoat. It was silky, with an emblem of a star containing her name on it. Her eyes landed on each article, and she hastily pulled them on. The knock came again. She glared at the door.

''What?'' she yelled.
There was no answer.

''What do you want Jessica?''
Still no answer, though it was an ominous silence that greeted her ears. Great! She thought to herself, not only is she being bothered, she's not getting an answer as to why!

"This had better be good, or else I swear to god I will not be held responsible for my actions!" She called. With yet another lack of response, she ran to the door, wrenching it open with enough force to almost separate it from its hinges, and glared into the space behind it. Her eyes glittered like knives in the semi- darkness, her stance far from friendly.

There was no one there.

Just as she went to slam the door, however, something caught her eye. An orb sailed towards her in a hauntingly familiar way, calling deep into the recesses of her minds. It was one of His crystals.

She backed away slightly, all anger forgotten as it glided through the air to rest outside her doorstep, then exploded into a puff of dark blue glitter. From the cloud, a folded up, crisp piece of parchment floated down into her outstretched palm, seeming to watch her as she unfolded it.

"Call off the Deal, Precious."

She scoffed, scrunching up the note and throwing it back into the hallway. "Wow, really scary. You send a note to get me to change my mind? Coward."

She slammed the door and stalked back to her room, intending on some more beauty sleep, but the sight at her door caused her to freeze mid-step. Her Goblin King figurine was out of it's back, and was leaning against her mirror, watching something across the room. As she turned, she nearly screamed, as her dancer figurine in the puffy white dress stood alone out of its case too, staring at her. Her teddies that symbolised the Labyrinth were sitting in a huddle on the other side of her bed, with only the tops of their heads and eyes showing as she staring over the edge of the bed at her, and familiar music was playing in the background.

Lying next the door lay her copy of the Labyrinth, and it was splayed open at a too familiar page. Without her consent, a memory blindsided her and took hold at the forefront of her mind.

'Give me the child...'

'Sarah, beware. I have been generous up 'til now. I can be cruel.'

'Generous? What have you done that's generous?

'EVERYTHING! Everything that you wanted, I have done. You asked that the child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. Isn't that generous?'

'Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle, beyond the Goblin city. For my will is as strong as yours, and my K-'

'STOP! Wait, look Sarah. Look at what I'm offering you...Your dreams.'

'And my kingdom as great.'

'I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want.'

'My kingdom as great...damn...I can never remember that line...'

'Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave...'

'My kingdom as great...my kingdom as great...! You have no power over me!'

Jareth's heart visibly broke as he threw up the crystal, bringing her back home.

She cried without noticing, her own heart aching as each emotion swept over her. As she stared at the book, she saw another note appear on its open page. A smaller one.

'Do you really want the world to know? Can you handle the consequences of such actions?
That book was written for you, in my own hand.
I love you...
Jareth.'

She stumbled away it, backing away from her room. She screwed her eyes shut, feeling her body quake. Sarah took in a deep breath and open them again to the scene once more. She bent down and retrieved the note from the book, and double backed to her front door to get the one she left outside. She stowed them both inside her musical jewellery box, and shut the lid carefully and quietly. She put the rest of her possessions back in their original boxes and places, then climbed into her bed, crying herself to sleep.
