Jade has just seen Jareth in his normal form, what happens when she wakes up and finds she wasn't imagining the whole thing? I don't own Labyrinth enjoy and please review.

Jareth saw Jade starting to fall and rushed to catch her. He blushed slightly at the close contact as he gently carried her to the couch. He laid down and pulled her onto his lap, her limp head resting on his chest. Jareth's heart fluttered as he stared down at her beautiful face. Jade looked even more beautiful in this…well, fainted, state. Jareth enjoyed having her in his arms, it brought him a peace he hadn't felt for some time. He had never been this close to Sarah. Sarah…just thinking her name brought unspeakable pain. Again, Jareth wondered how he could let himself fall so quickly after Sarah had hurt him. What if Jade did the same now that he wasn't an owl anymore? Before he could decide what to do Jade stirred in his arms.

She opened her eyes and looked up at the unfamiliar face above her. Any other person would jump up and run away from the stranger, but for some reason Jade didn't. Her gaze was frozen on this mysterious face, a very handsome face. She loved the way his hair hung around him and the natural marks round his eyes…and those eyes, one a navy blue and the other a light ocean blue. Wait…she had seen those eyes before. Jade sat up and moved to the other side of the couch to stare at the man, "who are you? What do you want?"

Jareth saw that he had frightened her, he didn't want her to be terrified of him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you" he said softly.

Jade glanced down at his arms and nearly fainted again when she saw there was a bandage on his left arm, the same as the owl. No, it's not possible, this man could not be the owl. But then again, where was the owl?

"You're…that owl" Jade said shakily.

"Yes" Jareth replied, watching her carefully.

Jade let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding as she stared at him, "what are you? A trick like that couldn't possibly be done by a mere human."

"A sorcerer" Jareth replied, he knew he couldn't deceive her so he didn't even bother trying.

"Sorcerers? Those…those aren't real…who are you?" Jade questioned, the fear in her slightly growing.

"Who I am is not important, my name is Jareth" he replied.

"Where did you come from? Why are you here?"

"I did not come here intentionally, I was very weak and I used your barn as a shelter. Please…don't treat me like an evil villain" Jareth said, reaching with his good arm over to Jade's knee making her lock eyes with him, "I am no such monster."

Again Jade felt pity for this man. She could see he was harmless, but there was something else in his eyes that she could not figure out, something very mysterious. Jade took a moment to take in his appearance now that she knew she was in no danger. She noticed he wore a strange outfit, which she found interesting. He almost looked like a superhero, tights and all. And there was something about his unusual eyes that simply took her breath away. She knew this man was a complete stranger, but yet she somehow knew she was safe in his presence, just as a child knows they are safe with their mother.

"I believe you" she whispered.

So I know her reaction to Jareth was a little strange, I mean any normal person would have jumped up and run away, but Jade sort of takes after me. Anyways I hope you're enjoying the story so far because there is so much more to come.
