Prologue
Whether it was determination to see him fall, or desperation to retrieve her brother, Sarah didn't know. All she knew, while she glared at the evil seductive Jareth, was that she was not going to allow this man to manipulate her any longer. Her mind was determined to watch him lose at his own personal game and lose the presence of the baby Toby.
Sarah's eyes cascaded over the Goblin King's well-sculpted body, but pushed any unwanted thoughts far from her mind before Jareth realized just what she was thinking. Her lips moved soundlessly trying so hard to find the right words to defeat the evil man before her, but she couldn't remember what to say, what to think anymore.
The baby Toby sat comfortably above his sister, watching through intense blue eyes as to what Sarah would do now that the Goblin King had her in his unpleasant, icy glare.
Jareth's face was all but welcoming. Still as stone, and cold as ice as if nothing could faze him. Nothing would faze him if he had anything to do with it. He mentally smirked at his handy work as he realized where the young Sarah's gaze had wandered. It amused him when he smelled the arousal of the young girl.
Sarah's eyes widened with realization. The words finally crossed her mind and with a daring move, she looked the Goblin King straight in the eyes and muttered the final words that would restore her brother, and rid herself of this place and Jareth.
"You have no power over me."
Jareth glared at her, a hint of amusement in his dangerous miss matched eyes. The moments dragged by, building a heavy tension between the two. Then Jareth threw his arm up, and the entire room began to spin, allowing Sarah to fall through the nothing air. Seeing the whole world of the Labyrinth fall into a pile of magic dust and crude fairy tales, gave the naive Sarah a big glimpse of exactly what kind of power she possessed.
Also, the fact that the Goblin city was now completely destroyed, angered Jareth to a high degree, but also fueled his reasons to take his revenge on the not so innocent young Sarah. She would soon be his, and she would never see it coming.
"Sarah." Jareth whispered. "You'll never be free of me…never."
She refused to be afraid. "I'm not afraid of you!" She shouted with all her might the hatred she felt for the goblin king. "I will never fear you again!" Even as the words left her mouth, she wasn't quite sure if she believed them.
The only thing she heard before she found herself in the safety of her bedroom was a sinister laugh that chilled her to her very core.
It would be several years later before she heard the power within his voice again.
