Prologue

She had been dreaming of her garden, barefoot in the lush grass, her hand grazing the roses as if she were petting a cat. In the wispy edges of the dream, Jareth was holding Arthur up while the child toddled about among the cooing Tulips.

The water trickled from the fountain, the birds sang beautiful melodies and she felt utterly peaceful. It was a memory that was bleeding through from an early morning a few months after Arthur was born.

And then another memory bled through.

A masked man threw a knife towards Jareth and Arthur, and without thinking, she stepped in front of it as she had years prior. The pain was so intense that she howled out, screaming in anguish.

"Sarah-luv, please, wake up." A tender hand on the shoulder and the voice rained down, but another nightmare crept up and she was looking in the face of Draco, the villainous man who had held her captive for two months till she had escaped and run for Menel.

"Sarah." The voice gasped. She couldn't shake the pain in her stomach after finally opening her eyes.

"Jareth," She breathed, clenching her hands to her stomach. The pain was nearly unbearable; very opposite her dream had started with. Throwing back the heavy blankets she started getting up until she noticed the wetness.

The red wetness between her legs was warm and accusing. "No… No…" She said, fear and terror clouding her vision.

"Wha- .. Sarah luv." Jareth's tired voice echoed, he reached for her, after running to her side but all she saw was the blood.

"NOOO-" She wailed, clutching at the pain in her stomach and sinking to the floor. Moving into action, Jareth summoned Sages and maids and anyone who he could, but nothing would stop her tears and her rocking. Sitting with her head in his lap, he tried to reach her, but the only words that left her mouth were "My baby, my poor baby-".

Darkness had officially fallen over the kingdom, despite the burnt orange sky.
