Chapter 2

Sarah didn't know if she was floating or falling. "What is going on?" she asked herself. Her thoughts were racing so fast that she couldn't keep them straight.

"You are now a ward of the Labyrinth and Master Jareth will be your caretaker. You will stay with him until you are better," a voice told her calmly. Oddly, Sarah was comforted by this strange voice.

"Who are you?" Sarah finally asked

"I am the Labyrinth. I am everything and nothing, I am now your life force," the voice told her, it sent chills down her spine. "You will wake up now and face the man who saved you," the voice commanded.

Sarah's eyes opened slowly and the first thing she registered was Jareth. He was standing over her with worry lines etched into his face.

"Jareth, what are you doing here?" she croaked when she was able to talk. Jareth looked at her with love in his eyes.

"Sarah,you are alright! " The smile looked weird on his face and Sarah looked at him with a strange expression. She had never seen him smile before, except for that evil grin he used when she was about to be killed by the Cleaners.

"What am I doing here?" she asked again, this time with a little more force behind her words, especially since she realised where she was.

"You are here to recover. Please don't fight me on this, just stay here and recover," Jareth told her, and she was shocked. It was then and only then that she registered her surroundings. She was in a lavish room with rose colored walls, and beautiful furniture. The room was magnificent with a fireplace, a vanity, a dressing screen, a wardrobe, a bookshelf, a desk and the bed she was currently laying in. Everything was made of what looked like an expensive wood.

"Jareth, did you do all of this for me?" She asked shocked when she had registered everything in her head.

"Yes, I had a goblin set it up for you, I want you to be comfortable here, especially now that you need to recover," he told her with sincerity ringing in his words.

Sarah didn't know what to say,for the first time in her life. She hadn't seen Jareth treat anyone with so much kindness. "Why me?" she asked when she finally found the words.

"I told you three years ago. I know you remember because those were the only words that I ever spoke that weren't completely about me or the Labyrinth. I meant everything I said to you that night. I don't understand why you won't believe me when I say I love you," Jareth didn't want to seem like he couldn't live without her, but somehow those words just came out that way.

"I know you meant those words, but I also know how you are," Sarah looked at him, her strength coming back. She decided that she should rest and that would be the only excuse to get him out of there. Laying deeper into the bed she finally muttered, "Could you please go now? I'm really tired-I want to sleep. Plus, you probably have a lot of work to do," she closed her eyes.

"I will be back soon," he vowed as he walked out of the door.

"What is wrong with me? Any girl offered her dreams would gladly take them. Why did I ever turn him down?" Sarah asked herself before she fell asleep.

Jareth sat in his study. He was doing what he did best; pouting. His thoughts revolved around Sarah.

"How could I ever think she could love me after all that I've done to her? She was right when she called me self-centered, and egotistical. How could I let my heart fall for her?" His thoughts were in turmoil. They were perfect for each other; somehow they hadn't discovered it just yet.
