1. Chapter 1

Hey this is my first attempt at a fanfiction. hopefully you like it, if you do please review. Next chapter should follow soon, I'll try to make it a bit longer too.

Chapter 1

"You have no power over me." Even after 9 years that line was never far from the King of the Goblins thoughts. He offered Sarah her dreams on a platter and all she wanted was that brat of a half-brother, not that the child wasn't charming, Jareth had rather taken to the dark eyed boy.

Other runners had entered his labyrinth but none had captivated him like Sarah. Her defiance was somehow intoxicating, even though she obviously feared him she didn't bend her will to his and he was back to his old routine having now realised that something was missing that it had always been missing but Sarahs' thirteen hours in the labyrinth had broke the pattern of a thousand years or more.

On a whim Jareth summoned a crystal to look at the girl who he had once been infatuated with for the first time since that fateful day. The beauty that her early years had promised were realized in the 24 year old actress. She slept with her pale face against a red satin pillow the same colour as her lips, her hair a dark halo around her head and the thin covers alluding to her very alluring curves.

Jareth found himself staring at the pale figure, no longer a girl, and the sight made him long for just one more meeting with her, even if all she said to him were those awful words again. He rose from his Gothic throne and moved towards the window to take flight.

He flew straight through the open window and transformed back into his fae form moving silently to avoid waking the still sleeping Sarah. Taking a deep breath in Jareth savoured the perfume of the slumbering woman, to him it smelt like sweet spices and peaches. It effected him more than he would have cared to admit.

"To be so close to you, precious and yet still so far." He muttered under his breath.

At the sound of his voice Sarah stirred and she said one word that would haunt the Goblin King even more than the hated phrase of, "You have no power over me." and she said it so naturally, almost joyfully a smile creeping onto her face.

"Jareth?"

He recovered from the shock just in time to disappear as her eyes opened and the disappointment on her face as they met only empty air.
