A/N: I really didn't expect to receive such a response from this story, not that I'm complaining. I had a review come in shortly after I posted it and was so elated I immediately started up this chapter. Thank you for your reviews they are very much appreciated.

Also, I'll give anyone a cookie who can figure out the connection between my character's names in this story and the movie Labyrinth.

A Wish Come True: Chapter Two

Nimue's first instinct was to step in between the man who was so close to her little brother. He looked very threating and there was little doubt that, in a fight he would win. But she still slammed the door closed behind her and stepped into her mother's dingy apartment.

"Leave." She growled at him shoving him away from Dagon and Isolde.

"You have no business here, as you can see Sarah is indisposed at the time. You may try to contact her later." Her voice quivered slightly as the white blond man stood his full height after her push. He had been crouched down before but now she saw that he was easily a full head taller than her, and she was 5'9", relatively tall for a woman.

His mismatched eyes glared down at her and it was clear to see that he was not used to being talked to in such ways. But Nimue rose to the challenge. She had been fighting tooth and nail to get Dagonet and Isolde away from their mother. There was no way he was going to stand in the way. She had worked to damn hard!

"Dagon, go gather the rest of your things." She turned and spoke to her red headed brother softly. He obediently took Isolde with him and went into their shared room, leaving the door open behind him.

"Sarah wished them to me little girl." Jareth hissed at her. "They belong to me now."

"No, they are children and they are people. People can't be owned you inconsiderate bastard." The raven haired beauty in front of him stood tall.

"I don't care what she told you but you can take back any drugs, there won't be any profit lost on your part."

She thought he was a drug dealer? The idea was enough to drive him into laughter.

"Do I look like crack dealer?" Jareth murmured to her, stepping towards her causing her to take a step back. Even though she was very bold she was also very skittish it seemed.

He watched her nostrils flare as she took in his scent, reminding him of how he was taught to present his hand to a feline to let it smell of him first, before petting it.

As Nimue took his is dark exotic scent she looked at his rich and very peculiar clothes. He wore tight black riding pants and boots with a white poets shirt and shimmery silver vest. Honestly, he looked like he had just got done preforming in a Shakespearean play. Long white blond hair, that fell in layers down to his shoulders stood out starkly against the darkness in the room. High arched eyebrows matched and his ears even looked pointy making his elvish look complete.

"No." She was forced to admit. "But then why else would you be here?"

He smiled, revealing pointed canines that made Nimue shiver. She knew that some people had their teeth filed to look like that, she also knew that they had a very sadistic sense of sexuality.

"Allow me to introduce myself." His velvety voice interrupted her worried thoughts and she frowned as he swept into a graceful bow.

"I am King Jareth, the Goblin King. I take away unwanted children to a place where they will be happy and loved. Sarah wished away Dagon and Isolde to me. You would have thought she would have learned her lesson the first time with Toby."

At the mention of her uncle Nimue's eyes widened. "How do you know Toby?"

"You really have no idea what's going on do you?" Jareth had figured that Sarah would at least tell her children the story of the Labyrinth if only to threaten them into being good.

She shook her head backing up against the wall even more. Clearly this guy was crazy.

"It's a very complicated story, one which I don't have the time to tell." His time allowance to be spent aboveground was about to reach its max and he had things important to do, things like running a kingdom.

But now he had to make a decision. Since it was Sarah who wished the children away it should be her who would have to run the labyrinth but that clearly wasn't going to happen on accounts of her oblivious state and she couldn't run the labyrinth twice.

It also wouldn't be very fair to Nimue to make her run a labyrinth that she had never heard of, especially since it wasn't her who wished away the children in the first place.

How about... "I'll take you instead." His mismatched eyes lit up at the thought and his face twisted into a sinister smile.
