Labyrinth: A Queen in hidding {On Hold}

The last of the memories

Sarah had to bit herself in the lip to stop herself from laughing at the look on Jareth's face where he know was laying on the floor. She takes a deep breath before she looks back at Leira.

"So, what was it now you said about not being in any contact whit that group? Because..." Sarah said and created a memory crystal. "I have other memories." She said. "Memories I tried to forget, which was a bad idea, but thanks to you I remember once more."

Leria just look at her with narrowed eyes. "But you do not need to worry about me. I can't decide on what's going to happen to you." Sarah said and she could see a small ray of hope in Leira's eyes. Sarah just smiled and she holds up the crystal towards Arreci and Melora.

"Its their job after all." Sarah said once more and the hope was gone from Leira as Melora walks over to take the memory crystal from Sarah's hand. Jareth was quick on his feet and he joined his father as the family was looking in to the crystal.

- Sarah was laying on her bed reading Alice in wonderland, but her eyes was drawn towards the red book that was laying on the bed table. She was about to but down her book and take the red book many times but she had managed to stop.

The old grandfather clock on the first floor was soon singing midnight and Sarah closes the book. "No more reading for tonight." She told herself as she puts the book right next to red one, making sure she doesn't touch it.

Sarah puts her head on her pillow and closes her eyes. That's when she realised that the clock downstairs did not ring 12 times but 13. When opens up her eyes big but she soon closes them once more. "You are just imaging it Sarah." She told herself.

But when the sound of the door bell was echoing throughout the house. Sarah was sitting up in her bed and she looks towards the door to her room. She could hear how Toby starts to cry and how her father starts to walk down the corridor as he was heading towards the stairs.

But the house soon grow deadly quiet and Sarah slowly moves out of her bed. She was about to walk towards the door when she hears that Irene walks past the door, even she was heading towards the stairs.

Sarah takes a deep breath trying to calm down her rushing heart. But the moment her heart has calmed down to a normal speed again three gunshots was echoing through the house.

Sarah turns around and looks at the door with big eyes and she takes a few steps back. She could hear how Toby started to scream once more but she was to scare to move.

"You Idiot! Make sure to find that girl and fast! If we don't finish up this job fast and right Lady Leira will have our heads on a silver plate and I rather not get her more angry at us then she already is!" Sarah could hear a voice she did not know saying.

"Oh will you chill? I'll find her and finish her of." Another voice said and Sarah could hear how someone was walking up the stairs. Sarah slowly back away from the room and she looks around herself, trying to find a way out but she knew there was no.

Well there was one way but that way might just kill her, since her room was on the second floor and the tree was to far away from her window to reach. Sarah keept on backing and she could soon feel the vanity desk and her eyes grows big as she turns her head around to see the mirror.

She slowly lifts her hand and puts it on the mirror and she closes her eyes. "I'm sorry Hoggle, I wish I could be with you guys longer then this." She said in a low voice. Before she knew it she was standing in Hoggles house and the dwarf looks at her out of surprised. -

Arreci looks up from the crystal, his normally light coloured eyes where now dark of anger. He steps away from Jareth and Melora and he walks towards Sarah and Leira. He first stops in front of Sarah and gives her a small smile.

A smile that was gone the second he looks at Leira. He steps towards her and he waves a hand over her head and she was soon gone. Sarah looks at the spot where Leira had been before she looks at Arreci. "What did you do?" She asks and Arreci grins a little.

"I dropped her down for a bath in the bog of eternal stench before I but her in one of the oubliettes we have in the high kingdom." Arreci said and Sarah starts to laugh. It felt so good to finally laugh this freely.

Luna was soon by Sarah's side and she lifts up the young girl and she hugs her. "Now I finally realise where Jareth gets his habit of wanting to bog everyone." Sarah said as she was laughing and Arreci smiles.

"Yes well it is one of the best way of punish someone." Arreci says with an evil grin, a grin that was not far from the one his son has and Sarah could not help but to laugh once more and this time Luna joined in once more.

Jareth looks at Sarah with big eyes and he could not help but to smile a little. He had not had time to react on doing something towards Leira but he did approve of what his father had done. And the reaction it had gotten from Sarah was something he never thought would happen.

Melora looks at her son before she smiles. She looks at Yurien and makes a nod towards the door and Yurien nods her head and starts to walk towards the door. Melora walks towards her husband, Sarah and Luna.

She takes Luna from Sarah's arms before she starts to push her husband towards the door. "Come on my dears. We have things to do and I think it's best if Sarah and Jareth had a little talk alone." Melora said and she keept pushing her husband towards the door.

They had left the throne room before either Sarah or Jareth had a chance to say anything about it. The door closes behind Melora and Sarah swallows a little.

She turns around to look towards Jareth but she jumps a little when she finds him standing in front of her. She had not even heard that he had walked up to her. "Sarah." He said in a low voice, as if he could not fully believe she was back and she just nods her head.

"Hello, Jareth." She said with a small voice, saying his name to him now didn't feel the same as it had done all the other times.
