I long to go back to the Labyrinth (Jareth X Sarah story)

Chapter 1-The Party

A/n: heyy I have wanted to write a Labyrinth fanfic for a while now and have recently seen some on here so I thought I would give it a shot. :)

Sarah's pov:

Today is the day... I am finally 18. I have been looking for a house or apartment but haven't found one yet. I want to get out as soon as possible. My step mother has managed to get worse. She finds a way to blame all her problems on me. It is still pretty early and nobody in the house is up yet. I decided to call on my friends. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and all of the sudden Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, and Ambrocious were in the room with me. They all said happy birthday (except Ambrocious obviously). "Thank you," I said happy that they were there. They had helped me out a lot in the past couple of years. We talked for about 45 minutes and then they had to leave so I could go on with my day. I walked out of my room and downstairs. My father smiled and told me happy birthday while my step mother just glared at me while holding Toby. We had decided to have a small party for my birthday. It would just be the 4 of us. My dad had bought me a gift and we had cake. I opened the gift and it was a beautiful silver locket. Inside was a picture of my mom. I smiled and slightly teared up I thanked him and hugged him. My mom had died when I was very young so I was raised by my dad. We talked for a little more and I played with Toby. My step mother never spoke a word and only grimaced at me like I was dirt under her perfectly manicured nails. I ignored her. I wanted today to be a good day unlike most of the others. My dad had to go to work so I said goodbye and went up to my room. I heard a knock on my door but didn't get the chance to respond before it was already being opened. My Sept mother entered the room and finally opened her mouth to speak. "So... You're finally 18 which means you can live on your own. That means I can finally be done with you. Everything is awful because of you. If it were just me, your father, and Toby... Well, it would be perfect. But no, YOU are still here. If you don't understand what I'm trying to say here... I want you to leave. You ruin everything. EVERYTHING. Actua-" I finally interrupted her. "No. It's all you. You are they only one who thinks that everything is my fault." She started to tell over what I was trying to say. She never did this when my dad was here. "GET OUT. DONT YOU UNDERSTAND. GET OUT. OUT OF MY HAIR. OUT OF MY LIFE. I DONT CARE WHERE YOU GO. JUST GET OUT." She had yelled to the point where I was crying. I could deal with her anymore. I grabbed a bag and began putting things in it. I needed to get out of here. I don't know where I will go but I just need to get out of here. I walked out the door and into the pouring rain. I decided to walk to the park I often went to to think. I was still crying from all the yelling. I hated being yelled at. I sat on a bench letting my mind wonder. I would rather be back in the labyrinth rather than here. I wonder what it would have been like to stay with Jareth. After all I was in love with him from the moment I read that book. I had dreamed of the Goblin King being in love with me countless times before I had gotten him to take Toby away. I looked up to the sky letting the rain fall on to my face.

Jareth's pov:

I stared into one of my crystal balls at Sarah. I had watched the entire thing unwind. I wish I would have been there to protect her from her step mother's evil. But I'm sure that Sarah still hates me. She was now sitting in the rain. Why doesn't she call her friends? I gave her the power to do that once she left the labyrinth. That's why they had been able to visit her these past years. Even though she hates me, I still love her. I wish she would feel the same way.

Sarah's pov:

I had started to think of the labyrinth and the Goblin King in the castle beyond the Goblin City. Maybe it truly would be better there than it was here. "I wish the goblins would come and take me away... Right now." I uttered words similar to the ones that made them take Toby away. Nothing happened. I laughed at my foolish attempt. I looked up to sky again and closed my eyes. Suddenly I could no longer feel the rain on my face. It was dry and warmer than it had been only seconds before. I opened my eyes to see Hoggle standing outside the gates that led to the labyrinth. I was confused and by the looks of it, so was he. "Wh-what are you doing here?" He asked. "I'm not really sure." I said this even though I knew that I was here because I spoke the words. But, there was no Goblin King in sight. "Here I'll take you to Ludo, Sir Didymus, and Ambrocious. We can all work together to figure this out." I followed him through the gates around a couple of bends to where all of the 3 were. "Why is thy fair maiden here?" Sir Didymus asked. Me and Hoggle said we had no idea. I regretted lying to them but I didn't want to explain the situation as to how I got here in the first place.

A/n: heyy I hope you enjoyed please vote and leave suggestions. This was a total of 1065 all together words. It's almost January 10th (a week until then) which makes me very sad, but I figured that I would do this story as a sort of David Bowie tribute.
