Of Second Chances

Rushing from the school with her head down reading another play she hurried towards the park. Saying lines out loud without a care in the world. She done this all her life. Why shouldn't she her mother after all was a remarkable actress, who had very little time to actually spend with her. She let out a sigh before exclaiming to know one in particular. "Romeo oh Romeo where for art though now Romeo."

She laughed at herself imagining that she was in fact Juliet, and gazing down at the one and only Romeo. She stopped as she pictured none other then him as Romeo. I mean lets face it he did look amazing in tights. If only she could take back those words she said to him three years ago. (You have no power over me.) Boy was she ever wrong about that, when she did get back home with Toby she slowly came to realize just what he had offered her. Sighing she holds the play against her chest. Looking up she is surprised to see the sudden change of the weather as if by magic. First it starts to rain lightly then it grew heavier and harsher within moments.

Now a storm rages overhead turning the once sunny day into a dark and dreary one. Thunder and lightning clashed and a wire fell not far from where she stood. She cried out as she jumped back as sparks flew everywhere. Her doe colored eyes were wide with fear as the wire bounced closer to her, backing up she tripped and fell. Her brown hair soaked with rain she tried to scramble to her feet. Another crash lighting strikes again and yet another wire tumbles down near her. She crys out and pulls herself away from it. It comes closer as if driven by an unseen force. Again wires bounce up into the air, she feels trapped. Crying out to no one in particular, "I wish someone would save me."

Fainting as the wires drew closer her energy spent she's caught and whisked away from there. The wires crash colliding together causing a spark bigger then before where she had stood. A face full of concern looks down at the woman in his arms. She has grown even more beautiful then what she once was the first time he saw her. He sighs as he moves her wet hair away from her eyes.

Every bone in his body begs him to take her back to his home, his castle. he smiles softly at her. "I wish I could bring you back with me now, my precious. Yet all you wished for was to be saved."

He appears in her bedroom holding her bridal style. She is still passed out. Using his magic he makes her dry and warm. Lying her on the bed he leans down and kisses her forehead. He moves closer to her ear, inhaling the smell of lavender from her body. He smirks slightly then whispers, "I still need you Sarah, please return to me soon."

He backs away from her afraid that his love for her would take control of his body. Watching her he smiles as she settles into a more comfortable position dreaming. A knock comes to the door and he vanishes as it slowly opens. "Sarah, hunny are you here?"

"She rubs her tired eyes and remembers what had just happened or did it. She looks around the room and sighs as she spots her father. "I'm here daddy."

He walks in and hugs her, I'm glad this storm is horrible. Wires are falling all over out there I was afraid you were out at the park again dear."

"Nope, been here the whole time... I think."

He hugs her gently well I just wanted to let you know that Karen and I are not leaving in this weather. So your free for the night."

"Ok daddy" she smiles at him.

She watches her father leave the room as the lights go out. Looking out the window she could have sworn she saw a barn owl just take off into the night. She lays back on the bed and notices an odd smell. She breathes it in deeply and realizes that it had a hint of pine and leather smell to it. A hand raises to her mouth, as she gasps. Getting to her feet she looks out the window. The storm rages on, but in her heart she knows that a goblin had saved her. To be more precise a goblin king. She wanted him to be there with her know. Smelling him again on her clothing was like a drug.

No man had made her ache so much. Yet three years ago was a long time, she would never wish Toby away again just to see him. She sat in front of her vanity mirror and looked at it. If had been ages since she last tried to call on her friends back in the labyrinth. Touching the shiny smooth surface of it she calls out, "Hoggle...I need you."

Slowly his face appears in the mirror. "Sarah..., I thought you forgot about me."

"Oh no Hoggle I could never forget about you or the others."

He smiled and tapped her on the shoulder she turned and hugged him to her with care. "Hoggle, do you think he hates me?"

Hoggle smiled, "I don't think anyone could hate you Sarah."

She smiles at him, "I...i meant Jareth?"

"That slimy no good king, he might. Your the only one to ever beat him at his own game."

Sarah looks down at her hands new tears threatening to burst from her eyes. "I... I wish..."

Hoggle clamps a hand over her mouth and Sarah looks startled. "Wishes always cause problems Sarah."

Removing his hand from her mouth thinking Sarah knew better then to continue. "But Hoggle I only wish that I could go to the labyrinth again."

He lets out a groan and vanishes as the window threatens to break. Turning her head she sees a barn owl trying to get in. the window finally opens and it flys straight at her. She ducks throwing her hands up to cover her face and hears a chuckle. Lowering her hands she looks directly at Jareth dressed in black tights that clung to his legs a white poet shirt opened slightly to reveal his toned chest. Smirking at her he moves closer. "My Sarah have we already forgotten what wishes can do, he states."

Before she can answer he wraps his arm around her and pulls her to him. Turning she finds that she is now in his castle. "Don't I have to run the labyrinth?"

"He walks to his throne and sits down letting a leg slide over the side of it. "Why Sarah you wished no one away but yourself my dear. I'm afraid this is your home now."

She turns to leave "stop Sarah, you may wander about but each night you will be returned to the castle. Your rooms are here until I decide otherwise."

She walks out into the goblin city "why does he have to be so cruel," she thinks.

Jareth cups his head in thought. "I just saved her tonight... is it that she knows I did it. She fainted before I caught her. Maybe I should have been nicer just now. I could have let her run but it would break my heart to lose her again..." His mind rushed through so many ideas that he did not hear the door close behind her.
