Labyrinth Alternate Ending

Chapter One: Drunken Wishes
"G-guys, tanks for tofight," Sarah slurred as she stumbled along hanging onto to her friends for support.
"Well, it's not every day a pretty girl like you turns 21," Dale joked, making sure to keep Sarah from falling, "plus we had to make sure you had a proper taste of alcohol." Dale smiled and tighten his muscular arm around Sarah's waist. They sure did show her the meaning of good alcohol, she hadn't been this hammered in while... ever. Anytime she stuck a few of her dad's beers she would immediately pour the rest out and throw it away from the awful and bitter taste.
"Sorry we have to leave you alone on your big night, we have to fly out tomorrow," Ruby said apologetically. "Wh-what, …show more content…
it's 3 a.m.!" Sarah laughed meeting Ruby eyes. Ruby had been her friend since freshman year at the university. She was the type of women that everyone envied. She was tall and beautiful. Her smooth olive skin and silky black hair brought out her sea blue eyes. Plus her brother Dale was also just as drop dead gorgeous. Dale had a different mother so he didn't have Ruby's olive skin, however, he had the same piercing blue eyes and the same charcoal black hair that Ruby had.
Sarah, lost in thought, fumble almost falling to the ground. "Woah, Sarah I'm glad we cut you off when we did," Dale said tightening his grip around Sarah's waist, "your parents would kill us if they saw how drunk you are."
"They aren't coming in until Sunday," Sarah whined.
"Doesn't matter after you started sprouting nonsense out about goblins and your beloved Goblin King I knew you had enough."
"You don't understand it's real. I went in there to save Tob-"
"We know Toby, your little brother, blah, blah, blah, Goblin King loves you blah, blah." Dale rolled his eyes and smiled cheekily at his over-imaginative friend.
"You should get drunk and write a book," Ruby interjected.
"Ya, but you should put more smut and sex in the story though if you want to get it to sell," this earned Dale an elbow in the stomach, "Ow! I'm just saying. Plus the way you talk about your little Goblin King I'm sure it can't be that hard." At Dale's wink, Sarah jabbed him harder.
This playful banter between the three friends went on until they reach Sarah's apartment. As they approached Sarah's white shabby door to the apartment they quickly said their goodbyes and left.
Upon entering the small apartment Sarah glanced at the clock. 3:15 a.m. Oh God, I'm going to have a massive hangover in the morning, Sarah thought. Most of her previous playfulness had subdued, she no longer felt light-hearted anymore, instead, she felt a dark hole in soul seemingly grow bigger. It's always been that way it reminded her that her time in the Labyrinth wasn't a child's delicate dream but an adult's hard reality.
She sighed to herself and picked up her copy of the Labyrinth. Whenever she felt depressed she would re-read it. She closed her eyes clutching the book tightly in her hands as she recalled her memories and the wonderful friends she made there. Hoggle, Didymus, Ludo and the even the Goblin King. She accepted long ago that the Goblin King was doing his job. This is what he knew. Even though she didn't agree with his methods she couldn't blame him either. She smiled as she recalled her Goblin King. What was his name again? Jared? No that wasn't it. Frustrated Sarah quickly scanned the book, however, to no avail there was no mention. Sarah knew the name she remembers it. "Jareth!" she screamed happily as she recalled it.
Suddenly the room became dark and the stillness of the room became frightening. As Sarah scurried off the coach she ran for the flashlight. If there was one thing Sarah didn't like it was the dark. However, as she fumbled her way through her tiny apartment a pair of large arms wrapped around her and a silky voice greeted her "You called."

Chapter Two: Back At Last
"What did you do to Sarah!" a short angry dwarf cursed at Jareth.
"What I do with Sarah is none of your concern," Jareth snapped at the small creature. He did not have time for some trivial dwarf to demand answers from him.
"None of my concern! You were the one that assigned me to look after Sarah in the first place," Over the years Hoggle earned a high place in the Goblin Court, thanks to this he now had a right to oppose the king within reason, and as of now Hoggle couldn't be any more furious at him. "We both know she doesn't belong here!" The last thing Hoggle saw of Sarah was her out with her friends celebrating her birthday. Granted, it was easy to tell that Sarah felt detach at times, and maybe a little empty- nevertheless her place still wasn't here.
"Quiet! You'll wake her up!" Jareth said in a hushed tone, "She called my name. I don't want her to see the kingdom like this - to see me like this, but she has the right to know. She has to make her decision." xoxo xo …show more content…

Sarah drifted in and out of sleep. Get up, she told herself, slowly trying to force herself awake. She couldn't help it, though, the silk sheets were just so soft and the bed was just so warm. Wait- silk sheets? Sarah immediately opened her eyes and sat up. Hastily taking in her surroundings, the memories of the previous night came rushing back to her. The happy drunk night out, the loneliness she felt when her friends left her, and her foolishly calling out Jareth's name. What came after that was a blur. I need to get out of here. Sarah got up, trying to ignore a massive migraine that suddenly plagued her. Sarah swung open the door ready to run. However, she stopped dead in her tracks by a familiar dwarf pacing back and forth. "Hoggle!" Sarah knelt down and hugged the tiny dwarf with all her might.
"It's been awhile," Hoggle smiled at her and embraced her back.
"I'm so sorry, I meant to call more often-" Sarah started apologizing frantically until Hoggle cut her off.
"It's quite alright, I understand," Hoggle gave her a weary smile and looked at something behind her.
"Excuse me Hogwart, but may I-" Jareth usually indifferent face was showing a deep frown.
"It's Hoggle," Sarah glared at him. She left her hands around Hoggle trying to protect him from whatever the Goblin King was going to do to him.
"Higgle-"
"It's Hoggle! How much of a king are you if you can't even bother to learn your subjects' names!" Sarah raged. How could he even call himself a king! Sarah opened her mouth to say more heated things, but swiftly stopped. Sarah fury turned into fear as she looked up at the Goblin King's menacing eyes. Sarah had just crossed a line with the King. Hoggle seemed to notice it too, as he pulled away from Sarah. "Yes, your majesty, I will go tend to those... those documents," Hoggle apologetically looked at Sarah. He is able to stand up to the Goblin King every so often, but he was still coward- who very well knew his place.
Jareth's dark and dangerous had disappeared as quickly as they came, instead, it was his normal guarded smirk that gave away nothing. "Your eyes can be so cruel, Sarah," The Goblin King took a step closer closing almost all the space between them. "A beautiful woman so never frown," Jareth gloved hand held Sarah's chin, forcing her to look at him, "you could never understand how enticing that is to men." He smiled slightly seeing her blush blossom across her face, it made her wide green eyes much more memorizing, for a brief moment he forgot all the troubles that plagued him ever since Sarah beaten his labyrinth, for a moment he felt the world lift off his shoulders.
Sarah was not about to let the Goblin King get the best of her. She stood still refusing to back up and met his unwavering gaze with her determined one. "Take me home," she demanded, ignoring his teasing. "I can't," for a brief moment, Sarah saw - or thought she saw- pain and a deep sorrow flash across Goblin King's face, however, this was quickly replaced with a face of indifference. No way Sarah bitterly pushed the thoughts out of her mind. She should only be thinking about how to get home. "What do you mean? You brought me here so take me back!"
"Sarah- the labyrinth is dying and I fear I may no longer have the power to bring you back."
"What-" cutting off Sarah.
Jareth wrapped his arms tightly around her. The room around them flashed away, leaving colors of strobing lights, Sarah no longer felt the security of ground and clung onto the Goblin King in fear of falling. Slowly Sarah felt the ground underneath her feet. "It is rather adorable how you cling onto to me, but I must regrettably inform you that this is what I wanted to show you,"
Sarah immediately let go of Jareth glaring. She was about to yell at him when she saw it. The labyrinth was in utter ruins, the once standing walls were now minuscule rocks lying at her feet, creatures of all shapes and sizes laid on the ground; some seemed to be on the brink of death. The previous splendor and childhood wonder was nowhere to be seen.
"The labyrinth can no longer exist," Jareth's face was stone cold and his voice bitter all the previous playfulness left his voice, "I have failed as a King to bring a Queen to complete it and now the labyrinth and I are slowly dying."
"You're dying?" Sarah was taken aback. She stared at the Goblin King taking in every detail, horror hit her at this sudden realization. At first, you couldn't even notice it, he carried himself the same way as before, however, as Sarah looked closer she saw the blue bags under his eyes, his skin was a pale sickly yellow, and his eyes that captivated her as a child were going dim.
"Yes."

Chapter Three: Hard Request Hard Decision
“Is there anyway to save the Labyrinth?” worry and dread gripped Sarah’s heart as images of Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus, and Ambrosius flashed in her mind. How were they surviving such horrid conditions? Jareth looked at her gravely knowing what was going through her mind. “It’s not something we can talk about here.”
Jareth gently put his arms around Sarah and teleported. Awe overtook her as she scanned the room that appeared around them. It was a lavish room adorn with deep purple and bright gold, and furnished with a dark wood like table matched with chairs. As she took in the absolute grandeur of the magnificent room anger arose within her. Just a few moments ago, she saw creatures, his subjects, living in the broken remains of the labyrinth while the king lived like this. It wasn’t fair. Jareth stood there smiling weakly at her. Disgust replaced the pity she felt for him. “What kind of man are you?” Jareth face transformed into indifference, this anger Sarah even further.
