Prologue: A Shattered Dream
She was wondering aimlessly around the beautiful ballroom, weaving through the crowd of dancers in colorful gowns and their equally colorful masks. Searching and looking for something or someone. What she was looking for was unsure, but she felt this urge, this tug on her very soul, leading her through the throng of people. Then out of the corner of her eyes she saw him, dressed in a glittery dark blue over coat, white silk dress shirt and dark black breeches that complemented his form and eyes. He lowered the horned mask that he was holding slowly as she turned around to face him. His dazzling mismatched eyes captured her shimmering emerald ones and held them captive. She was dazzled, wanting to move closer, but unable to as his eyes seemed to hold her immobile. After what seemed like eternity, in a blink of an eye he was gone.
Sarah blinked a few times, shock that he had disappeared right in front of her very eyes, but continued to search for him again. He seemed so familiar wondered Sarah as she began to weave through the sea of people again searching for the mysterious man with the mismatched eyes. It's like I've meet him before, but he's not exactly the type you'd forget after meeting…mused Sarah as she looked left and right. Then once again out of the corner of her eyes she caught sight of the ends of his wild and unruly blond hair, but as she tired to fallow he was out of her sights again. It was like a game of cat and mouse as the two of them weaved in and out of the crowd of dances, but Sarah was beginning to wonder just who was the cat? And who was the mouse?
She was beautiful and a refreshing sight to see. The soft sugar plum dress suited her perfectly, just as he had imagined it. His dark eyes fallowed her as she weaved through the sea of people, looking for him. Yes, she might not know it yet, but she was ultimately looking for him. Her soul was tugging at his, just as his was tugging at her, willing, coaxing her to come closer. Slowly she did, passing the dancers of his court and coming closer to were he sat. Picking up his mask he decided to meet her half way. He watched as she paused and turned towards him feeling his presence. He lowered his mask slowly as he stared into those soulful pools of emerald, holding her captive. His eyes willing her to understand, to accept…
Mentally he smirked as he suddenly disappeared from her sight and watch from afar as she blinked in confusion. Come and find me…you precious thing…he cooed mentally as he weaved through the crowed waiting for her to come close enough to see him, but always vanishing as she moved towards him. He could tell the she was growing frustrated as he continued to dance just out of her reach. The smell of the beginning of her anger made him feel euphoric as she passed right by him without even knowing, causing him to smirk at her direction before vanishing into the crowed once again. Play time's over…Mon Cherie
This game of his was beginning to frustrate her and soon it began to anger her. She had no clue who this guy was, and all she wanted to do was to ask him if they had meet before and be done with it, but he kept dancing out of her reach just as she was getting closer. Sarah wanted to desperately to stomp her food like a child just then, but then she caught sight of him once again. This time he was just standing there with two women on his arms and staring at her with a look in his eyes. For some reason it irritated her to no ends as one of the woman leaned her head on his shoulders and smiled smugly at her. Calmly Sarah blinked away the irritation and started curiously at the beautiful man staring back at her.
Leisurely, he untangled himself from the women beside him and walked towards her. His enchanting eyes still keeping her captivated, but for some reason a part of her was telling her to back away and run, like the false alarms in the oubliettes telling her not to go that way, to turn back and run. Wait, what where false alarms…and if they were false then why should I listen to them…thought Sarah confusedly.
This gave Jareth the opportunity to close in and spin her into his arms and onto the dance floor. As they span around Sarah stared deeply in to his eyes and soon forgot her thoughts, let alone the questions she had wanted to ask. When he had started to sing to her, she was all but ready to melt in his arms and soon the world around her was forgotten. All she could hear was his beautiful voice and all she could see was his hypnotizing mismatched eyes as they started down at her full of emotion. Some familiar and some foreign which scared her…
NO...he was losing her. D'Arvit, he had underestimated her again. Jareth was raging inside as Sarah was beginning to remember, but managed to keep his facial expression calm only for the sake of not scaring her off. What he really had wanted to do at the moment was to throw tantrum like a spoil child and throw his crystals against the floor, because she was remembering. There's still hope…advise a voice in his head as he calm him self with the fact that he was right, there was still a chance and quickly maneuvered him and Sarah onto the dance floor. Staring into her eyes he again he poured out his emotions willing her to understand and began to sing to her a song…their song….
There such as sad love...
Deep in your eyes...
A kind of pale jewel…
Open and close…
Within your eyes…
I'll place the sky within your eyes…
There's such as fooled heart…
Beating so fast…
In search of new dreams…
A love that will last…
Within your heart…
I'll place the moon within your heart…
As the pain sweeps through…
Makes no sense for you…
Every thrill has gone…
Wasn't too much fun… at all
But I'll be there for you…oo…oo…
As the world falls down…
Falling…
(as the world)Falling Down
Falling in Love
I'll paint your mornings of gold…
I'll spin your valentine evening…
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love for you between the stars
Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling

As the world falls down

As the world falls down

Makes no sense at all

He was euphonic when he saw emotion in her eyes, but just he was about to pick her up and spin her about in his joyous state. The large clock chimed on the wall, causing Jareth to stiffen as Sarah snapped her head towards the clock. White hot furry fill him as he saw the recognition in her eyes and the panic. He cursed the seven hells as he watches Sarah untangled her self from his arms and ran.
She was drowning…her hearted beated frantically as she swirled around in the arms of the beautiful man. She was feeing so many emotions that it was making her head swarm. Her heart felt like it was about to burst as she continue to stare into his dazzling eyes. Then in the distance a chime startled her, the sound shook through her and caused her head to spin. Goblin King…Jareth…a title and name came to her mind as she stared at the man in her arms. Panic started to course through as she looked at the leering faces of the dancing courtiers around her. The beautiful ball room began to spin, and their cruel laughter taunted her. In the back ground the clock continued to chime, while Sarah struggled to remember. Finally a name came to her mind Toby…but who was Toby? Oh My God! Toby, she had forgotten about Toby. How much time did she have left? With her mind solely focused on Toby, she forgot about the man that was in her arms and pulled away frantically in search of an exit to the room with out even a glace back.
She pushed pass still dancing courtiers towards the crystal walls of the ballroom. Hoping she would find a door of some kind. Her long locks flew behind her as she recklessly looked for a way out. In the background the clock chimed once again. How many chimes had that been…9, 10…? How long did she have, was the game already over? She had no clue, but if there was still time even second she would keep trying. Looking around wildly, she saw a chair sitting innocently nice to a glass table. Without a second of hesitation Sarah grab the chair and threw it with all her strength against the crystal wall just as the last chime of the clock sounded.
He just stood there, frozen as he watched helplessly as Sarah pushed through the dancing courtiers, rushing to find an exit. She was running farther and farther away from him, but he could still see her. As each chime passed by he was a step closer to losing her, but he could only watch powerlessly, unable to stop her. He gazes at Sarah sadly as she picked up the chair and smashed it against the crystal walls of the ballroom. The walls shattered causing pieces of glass and crystal to fall every where. Chaos erupted around him as the last chime sounded.
Sarah covered her face with her arms as she watched the chair break through the crystal wall, causing crystal shards to fly every where. The shattering glass rang in her ear, as she turned her head back to look at the man she left standing in the middle of the ball room. His eyes were filled with sorrow and another emotion that seemed so foreign yet familiar. Her heart was hurting and reaching out to him, but before she could dwell on the feeling anymore the wind sprang forth from the whole in the wall, sucking everything into it…and then she was surrounded by darkness…falling….
The joyous laughter of the courtiers turned into screeching screams…
The once beautiful crystal ballroom was now in shamble…
What was once a beautiful dream lays abandoned…
&
Shattered…in pieces like the broken crystal shards that once held the dream…
In the window of a tall tower sat a man. The pale light of the moon shined down on his unruly blond locks causing it to shimmer, like twinkling stars. He looked beautiful like an angel lying there so peacefully. Cradled in his hands was a beautiful crystal that too glimmered in the night light. Abruptly, his eyes snapped open to greet the world. The once peaceful face of his was gone replaced by dark and furious look. His eyes darkened as well and burned with a black flame. Jumping down from the window ledge, he threw the crystal in his hands against the wall in a fit of rage. The crystal shattered into a million pieces spill on the floor making twinkling sounds. He was breathing heavily as he held his hands out and summoned another crystal to watch her. Slowly as he watched, he began to feel a sense of pride…soon he was calm and collected once again and the gears in his head began to turn once more…
