T.D.K- Ok, so this is my debut in the Labyrinth world! If feels very weird to not be writing something for an anime. Then again, Jareth can be very persuasive, especially if he's singing.

A few notes before we begin. I no own Labyrinth. All I get is practice with my writing skills. I don't want any flames about my OC as a Mary Sue, because she plays a very important role in my plot line.

Without further ado, please enjoy my fanfic!

Ch. 1: Empath?! What empath?!

'Your eyes can be so cruel, just as I can be so cruel.' Sarah bolted up in her bed, her eyes looking around wildly. Her best friend looked over at her, pale sky eyes filled with worry. Liz went to Sarah's side, sensing the turmoil in her emotions. 'Love without your heartbeat.' Jareth's voice kept resounding through her mind. The twenty-year-old's friend placed her in a tight hug. She rubbed Sarah's back, trying to calm her.

"Sarah, he can't get ta ya. Your will's jus' as strong as his. Toby's safely tucked in 'cross da hall. Listen ta me; my will is stronger den yours an' his. My will protects ya." Liz's soft lyrical voice drowned out Jareth's. The other pushed her flame red hair out of her face. Sarah always wondered over how Liz's hair was almost like living fire. Liz placed a careful hand over her heart. "You've loved him all dis time, but can never submit ta him."

"That's right. I can't get his voice out of my head." Sarah had accepted that Liz could sense people's emotions three years ago, when they had met. "Some nights I can sleep, but when I do wake up, he's singing in my ears."

"Sarah, my will's stronger den yours or his. I'll be your shield, keep his voice from placin' ya in turmoil. Your emotions get chaotic when you're thinkin' 'bout dat Goblin King. You're needed here, for right now. Toby still needs his big sis."

"Thanks, Liz." The red head smiled.

"No prob. Now, go back ta sleep. I'll sit right here, 'til ya get ta sleep. Dat should keep Jareth's voice from disterbin' ya."

Jareth sat in his throne, gazing at Sarah and one of her friends. He was getting tired of the other woman. She stayed by Sarah's side, never leaving. Whatever barrier that woman could raise, was something he could not break. What was it about that damn red head that made her will so strong? Jareth breathed out, then summoned the three he really wished he didn't need to see.

The trio had remained close in the years since Sarah had solved the labyrinth. Hoggle, Ludo, and Didymus strode into Jareth's throne room, trying to cover up the fear that still went through their spine. He showed them the red headed woman within his crystal. "What is it about this 'Liz' that makes it so I cannot contact Sarah, cannot sing to her?"

Ludo spoke up first. "Liz friend. Liz feel Ludo." Jareth didn't quite understand what the giant rock caller ment. Didymus stepped foreward, bowed, then spoke his own peace.

"Yes, Brother. Lady Erzabet can sense us, when we visit Lady Sarah, along with our emotions. She hath not ability to see us, yet, but will speak all the same. Lady Sarah relates our replies to her. Sir Ludo loves both maidens dearly." Jareth nodded, not liking where this information was heading.

"Sarah sayz that Liz'z an empay. No, empathy. That iz it!"

"An empath, you fool! One of the few humans that can block magic are empaths! Empaths have the strongest will of any known being!" Jareth's mind instantly started plotting how to get the empath away from Sarah. It hit him. His lips lifted into his trademark grin. It was not the one he'd wanted to show Sarah, but one that ment trouble was in store for Liz. "I'll bring her here." He whispered.

Hoggle looked at Didymus. He'd heard Jareth's words, and was worried. If Liz was brought here, Sarah was bound to return to get her back. The dwarf did not have a good feeling about this.

Sarah walked back to her dorm, Liz trailing along after. They both had managed to be roommates, and were in one of the better parts of the campus. Every few minutes Liz would look over her shoulder, like she could sense someone behind them. Sarah wondered why. She questioned her friend, who gave a startling reply.

"I keep sensin' somethin' kinda like Hoggle, but it ain't him. Trust me, I know what Hoggle's emotions feel like. Every one has a diff'rent feel ta dier emotions. I think dere are goblins followin' us."

"Why would Jareth send goblins after us? I believed he was going to leave me in peace."

"Not us, Suge. Me. Sarah, he's been blocked from ya. It's only natural dat he'd plan ta remove whatever's blockin' him from ya. It'll be fine. I'll go wid 'em, but ya gotta come get me!" Liz hugged Sarah. The brunette couldn't believe what her friend was getting ready to do. "Jareth can't do anythin' ta ya widout your permission. I'll be fine! Now run!"

"I promise I'll get you!" Sarah ran, leaving Liz. She trusted Liz completely, and hoped she knew what she was doing. After a block of running, Jareth's voice began back in her head. 'How you turn my world, you precious thing.'

T.D.K- All reviews are welcome, but flames will get bogged! Please show that nice little button some love.
