Delicate like a flower
A/N
Hi I would like to thank all of you, this is my new story and I'm very excited about it because I'm really going to try hard to make it through and make it a good one.
Thoughts shall be in italics.
DISCLAIMER – I do not own any of these characters the credit goes to the writers.
Jareth walked through the castle clutching his chest. Those dreaded words playing in his head over and over again.
"You have no power over me"
Of course Jareth loved before Sarah, he loved many women but he was never in love with them, he never craved them like he does her. Sarah was intoxicating to him even her presence was like a drug to him, but this rejection had Jareth in pieces. He stormed into the throne room shouting and abusing his subjects.
"Everybody out now"
"Yess, hurry hurry hurry" squealed the goblins.
Jareth flopped onto his throne and wallowed, he shut up his castle completely, he boarded the windows, locked the doors and ignored his duties and even calls to take children away.
Twenty-two years had passed, Jareth only occasionally looked upon the world through his crystals, after all this time he had gotten over the heart ache. During a look through one of his crystals he stumbled upon another more exciting, beautiful and well-mannered than Sarah. She took life as it was but he could tell she was hurting even more than he hurt over Sarah, it was like someone had torn her heart out and ate it while she watched.
Jareth was mesmerized by her. He kept thinking "who hurt you so bad?, I just want to protect you and make the pain go away". He gazed deeper and deeper into his crystal, staring into those luscious but sad brown eyes, trying to grasp her very soul to try and piece it back together. Every fibre of his being was demanding he help her.
After what seemed like an eternity he stopped staring into the crystal, moving throughout the castle and gradually relighting torched and candles in places in the castle that haven't seen light in slightly over twenty years. He strode to his bed chambers and started to come up a plan to see her. He thought "maybe I will send her a copy of the labyrinth, hope she enjoys it and calls for me in her agony or shall I go and disguise myself as a human and introduce myself to her like that. But what if she falls for me and then doesn't want me because I'm not human or over a thousand years old. GOD THIS IS HARD!". He finally came to a decision.
