PROLOGUE
"I ask for so little" Jareth said backing away from Sarah "just let me rule you and you can have everything that you want"
"My kingdom is great...Dam! I can never remember that line" Sarah said searching her memories for those forgotten words.
Holding out the crystal that held Sarah's dreams Jareth pushed on trying his hardest to convince her to stay "just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave "
"My kingdom is great...my kingdom is great..." the words lost in her memories started to come forth, slowly but surely she started to remember them, then without a second to spare they came to her. Sarah looked up at Jareth seeing the hope in his eyes that she might take his offer.
"You have no power over me"
Jareth's heart sank at the sound of those words, hearing the clock chime when it struck 13 her words seemed to echo along with the chime, gripping the crystal Jareth looked Sarah in the eye as he threw it into the air. Soon felt the weight of his heavy heart to much too bare, feeling a shroud of black cover his face he started to fall into the abyss, Sarah tried to catch the crystal that held her dreams but it popped like a bubble in her hand.
"Now you have to find new dreams to become a reality because your old ones are now destroyed" Jareth whispered to low for Sarah to hear as he turned into a white barn owl and flew out of Sarah's window back to the underground.
"SOMEONE BEAT THE LABYRINTH! SOMEONE BEAT THE LABYRINTH!" the messenger came running through the castle repeating those words so everyone got the message, running through the throne room doors the young boy came charging in and stopped and kneeled before the King, Queen and Prince of the North.
"My Lord...I bring...exciting news" he said between breaths
The king of the North looked at the young messenger his emerald eyes piercing through him, his wife lounging on his lap chuckled as the messenger cowered at his stare; she ran her fingers through his dark spiked hair and down his strong jaw line and draping her hand across his strong chest.
"Very well what is the news" he said in a strong voice
"My Lord someone beat the labyrinth" the boy said looking down
The king roared with laughter shaking the room, he clapped his hands at the thought of the Goblin King finally losing to a mortal.
"What is the runners name?" the young prince asked as the king laughed
"Her name is Sarah, Sarah Williams"
The Queen seamed to stiffen at the name, the King noticed this and stopped laughing and looked at her.
"Is there something wrong my dear?" he asked worried.
"No my love nothing is wrong just shocked a mere girl beat the labyrinth" she smoothly lied.
"We all feel this shock my darling I can assure you" he looked at the messenger "dismissed"
The messenger arose and bowed and slowly backed out of the throne room, none dared show their back to the King of the North. Prince Skyler rose from his throne and began to walk towards the door when his mothers call stopped him.
"Sky where are you going?" she asked.
"To my riding lesson mother" he replied, feeling a small breeze he turned around only to see his mother's bright blue eyes before him. She leaned towards him and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.
"Have fun Sky" she said stroking his long dark hair.
"I will mother" he kissed her cheek and walked out of the throne room his thoughts only on this Sarah Williams
Jareth sat on the side of his bed, his face buried in his hands after he just lost his one and only love and now his kingdom was broken like his heart, now that she was gone he was left empty, empty and angry, he was willing to give her everything that she desired and yet she turned him down. But he could not blame her she was only thinking of her brother to save and she is young and could not yet comprehend the desire her body is facing but he knew deep down inside of her she wanted to be with him just as he wanted to be with her, he could see it in her eyes in the ballroom that somewhere deep inside her that she would love him and he would wait for her. He felt a strange familiar feeling in his throat that he couldn't hold back.
Underneath the cold November sky, I'll wait for you
As the pages of my life roll by, I'll wait for you
I'm so desperate just to see your face
Meet me in this broken place
He got up and walked out towards his balcony looking over his city.
Hold me now, I need to feel you
Show me how make it new again
There's none I can run to
And nothing I could ever do
I'm nowhere if I'm here without you
Conjuring a crystal in his hands he held it up to his face and saw Sarah sleeping peacefully in her bed tired from her party.
Even if you take it all away, I'll wait for you
Even when the lights begin to fade, I'll wait for you
I'm so desperate calling out your name
Meet me in this broken place
Hold me now, I need to feel you
Show me how make it new again
There's none I can run to
And nothing I could ever do
I'm nowhere if I'm here without you
With all his might Jareth threw the crystal towards the full moon using his magic to guide it to her, slamming his hands on the stone railings he looked at the full moon
I'm tired of running and wrestling with these angels
I lay down my life and I surrender
The crystal floated into Sarah's room and just above her stomach, Sarah could feel a strange presents and woke up hearing his singing she sat up from her bed and looked out her open window looking at the full moon and hearing his song .
Hold me now, I need to feel you
Show me how make it new again
There's none I can run to
And nothing I could ever do
Hold me now, I need to feel you
Show me how make it new again
There's none I can run to
And nothing I could ever do
I'm nowhere if I'm here,
Sarah felt the words in her mind and the need to sing them along with him was an unstoppable impulse.
Without you.
Jareth smiled as she sung those final words with him and she fell back to sleep, he made the crystal disappear as he walked over to his bed; he took off his robe and lay down on the soft mattress. You broke my heart for your brother but remember this Sarah I can be just as cruel he thought
