**Dreaming** /' 'Talking'
Midnight Dreams and Wishes
Sarah awoke in the black of her bedroom, heart pounding. Cold night sweat shimmered on her pale skin as her dark locks fell back against her face and pillow when she laid back down. Slowly she tilted her head towards the bedside clock, dread creeping into her soul.
Midnight.
Not only had this week been hell, but she should have NEVER said it couldnt get any worse. It always did. She should have learned that by now. Completely awake she now stared at the ceiling as she shivered, remembering her dream. It was so real this time. She could feel the apprehension and fear closing her throat as she ran thru the corridors and hallways of the medieval castle.
Her heart started racing again when she pictured his regal form and searching eyes. This dream felt so much like the real thing it scared her. Ten years ago this very hour, she had come back from the labyrinth with her baby step-brother. She had been victorious over a man who was her greatest nightmare. He was her most avid fear. He had made her feel so powerless 99% of the time shed known him, and even now he haunted her dreams. But yet, try as she might to forget his enchanting mismatched eyes she couldnt escape the memories she felt re-surfacing.
Every year at the same time Sarah would awake from a dream about the Underground. Every the dreams would come stronger and clearer than the last. They had begun to get more involved and she was beginning to get the feeling the more she tried to fight the memories and adventures of old, the stronger the urge to dream became.
Maybe she would always be destined to be a dreamer. The life she had tried to live hadnt been the greatest one. Her acting career gone and on top of that she was 26 and single. A tear slid out of the corner of her eye and burned a path down her face. Why did he leave her? She would never understand if she tried for a thousand years to comprehend the reasons behind his actions.
She had been engaged for 8 months. The wedding was scheduled for next month and he left. More tears came as her thoughts turned into a bright smile and green eyes that sparked with laughter. Davis. Shed loved him so much, since she first saw him on the set of the first and last movie she ever played in. His blond hair and easy going nature set off his smile.
Sarah rolled over and curled up into a fetal position. Slowly and silently the tears flooded the pillow and soaked her hair. How could he do it? Was she that horrible?
An hour later, exhausted, she slipped into a troubled sleep.

Walking in the sunlight Sarah made her way down a steep hill to the sandy beach below. Davis and Sarah used to come there often together so she began to look around for him. Suddenly she spotted him running up the beach towards her.
She opened her arms only to have him run by her and wrap his strong arms around a thin silvery blond haired woman. They laughed. Sarah was crushed as she watched them take off strolling down to the surf. The womans laughter turned from joyful to malicious as she turned and looked into Sarahs eyes and raised a torch. As the brand was raised, Sarah and everything important in her life was set aflame.
Sarahs screams went unheard to the world. Her shrieks falling on deaf ears, they passed her by, a burning angel. As the strange woman continued to laugh, Davis came forward.
Weakly Sarah pleaded for help. But all her former lover did was smile and look through her in a way that chilled her to the bone. He turned away as the rain began to fall. The pouring torrent extinguished the flames, but left the fallen angel broken on the cold ground alone.

( In the Underground )
From his throne he summoned a crystal.
'Show Her to me.' He commanded.
Swirls and mist formed a trembling vision of a sleeping Sarah. He looked at her coldly as she murmured in her dreams, for he still had some anger towards her deep in his heart. Rolling over she now faced the crystal. His proud, stern eyes softened at her tear stained face.
Sarahs ramblings were of angels, then white wings. Finally he could make out the word owl, but it came faintly over her lips. Sighing at her apparent pain, he began to release the orb but she called out his name. Stunned, he leaned forward on his throne as he looked closer. Jareth was startled to say the least. He did not know she was told his real name.
His eyes grew slightly bigger at the tingling sensation filling the depths of his being. Not now! He thought growling. Quickly he stood, pulling the crystal up eye level he searched the form of the woman he saw inside. He wanted to stay and watch over this mortal, not go get a stupid forgotten child.
The feeling was spreading through his arms and legs, filling out his fingers and toes. As he started to fade from the room, on his way to wherever it was that he was being summoned, he stole a last longing look at the mortal woman as her lips began to form the words that would once again turn his world upside down.
In the crystal floating before the shimmering after-image of the King, Sarah spoke pleadingly while tears streamed down her pale cheeks.
'I wish the goblins would come and take me away, right now.'
