Labyrinth Fanfiction, "A tale of Two"

Chapter 60 -

I ran all the way back to the castle in search of Jareth but first I had to compose myself. I needed to clear my head before I made my final decision. I headed for the secret garden as I made my best decisions there. When I reached the garden I sat down on the tyre swing. My thoughts began to run wild. There was so many reasons for me to stay but so many for me to go. I had Toby to consider, even though he wished me away, he was still my brother. On the other hand there was Jareth. He changed so much and said that it was all down to me. I changed him for the better. I love Jareth with all my heart. If I leave Jareth again who knows what might happen. Last time I left Jareth in despair and that resulted in his kingdom being under attack. More importantly loosing his powers. If I stay what will happen to Toby. Does he even want me to come home? Every question I asked myself brought if's and but's along with it.

Realisation then hit me. All my life I had put others first. Toby, my Dad and Karen. For once in my life it was time to me first. My happiness, my life.... first. I know where I want to be and who with....... Jareth. I stood up and looked at my surrondings. I want to stay right here. I went to go find Jareth when Pansy called me over. I walked over to her pot and lowered myself to her level.

"Yes what is it Pansy?"

"Oh nothing. I've just noticed you've been acting differently lately"

"Different how?"

"Your alot more happy. Smiling all the time. I don't know. Something's different. I can't quite put my lead on it"

I just laugh at Pansy.

"I don't know what you are talking about"

I say slyly and leave to go find Jareth but he is no where to be seen. I tap my foot repeatedly until a idea springs to mind. I sighed, nothing came to mind.

If I was Jareth where would I'd be?

Prehaps the throne room or maybe his study. I'll go to his study first. I run all the way to his study and enter without knocking. I look around to find that he is not there however a candle is lit at hia desk and the match is still warm. Jareth shouldn't be far. I know I'll try the throne room next. I then run to the throne room and throw open the double doors to find Jareth sat on his throne with his legs drapped over to one side.

I sigh. "There you are Jareth. I've been looking for you everywhere"

I notice Jareth looking down so I go to him and hold out my hand for him to take. He takes it and stand infront of me. Jareth was looking at the floor. I place my hand on his cheek and he finally looks me in the eyes.

"Jareth, what's wrong. Tell me"

"Sarah I have something to tell you"

"What that you have the power to send me home?"

"Yes I can precious" Jareth then paused and stood in the middle of the throne room.

"What are you doing Jareth?"

"I'm  getting ready to send you home"

"What if I don't want to go home.  What if I want to stay?"

"You want to stay?"

"Yes Jareth I want to stay here... with you"

I watch his expression go from sad and sorrowful to cheeky and excited.

"You want to stay in the Underground with me?"

Jareth couldn't believe his ears. I laughed.

"Yes Jareth"

Suddenly Jareth picks me up and spins me round and round. When he finally puts me down Jareth looks deep into my eyes.

"I have one last question to ask you Sarah"

He then summons a crystal and it turned into a Emerald ring. He got down on one knee.

"Sarah would you do me the great honour of becoming my wife and queen?"

I was shocked. I covered my face.

"Yes Jareth I will marry you!"

He slid the ring on my finger and kissed me passionately on the lips. We parted and I couldn't stop smiling.

"Sarah I love you with all my heart"

He caressed my cheek. I blushed crimson.

"I love you too Jareth"

For the first time in my life I knew what it felt like to be loved and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him.

Me and my Goblin King.
