(Jareth's POV)
"Nice play Jareth!" Emma yells into the sky.
I smirk and say aloud "Well my little queen, the fun has yet to begin."
I then decided to give her a little present with a dream inside that I can control. I get a glass ball and a peach-peaches are a Underland delicacy for a reason, they bind a person for here and I also put a little spell in it, a sleeping spell.- I magically put them down on the ground with a not saying that "My dearest Emma, I am giving you this peach to eat and this pillow to rest on, I will give you fifteen minutes to rest and the time will stop until the fifteen minutes are up. Please take them. Love forever yours Jareth. P.S. It is not poisoned."
I smirk and put them on the ground as I see her walk closely to them.
(Emma's POV)
As I walk through the Labyrinth I can't help but be enchanted by the beauty of it. The walls are green bushes with flowers sticking out of them and glitter coming out of the flowers. The ground has beautiful emerald green grass and I really love it here.
I keep walking until I get to a beautiful willow tree and a big pillow underneath it with a couple things on it. I get closer and see that is a glass ball, a peach and a note attached to the ball.
It says "My dearest Emma, I am giving you this peach to eat and this pillow to rest on, I will give you a fifteen minute rest and the time will stop until the fifteen minutes are up. Please take them. Love forever your Jareth. P.S. It is not poisoned."
I am very tempted, but I still don't trust him, but I am tired and hungry so I decided to stop and rest. Once I sat down I saw a clock magically appear with a timer saying fifteen minutes. I roll my eyes and start to eat. After I am done I start to get a little sleepy. I try to stand up, but then fall over into an eternal blackness.
Once I wake I notice that I am in a very large and comfy bed with the silk blankets up to my waist.
I turn to my side and see Jareth with his back to me. I lie on my back and try to calm my heart rate. What the fuck is happening here?
I carefully get out of bed and look to see what I am wearing. It is a dark blue nightgown that goes to my ankles (On profile). I walk over to the open double doors that lead out into a balcony. I look out and see the Labyrinth and the village beyond that.
I then feel a pair of warm arms hug my waist. I stiffen and I feel him whisper in my ear "Oh Emma I am so glad to see you awake my dear."
I turn around and say "What am I doing in here Jareth? My time isn't up yet. I-I don't know what's happening."
He smiles and cups a hand to my cheek and says "Emma love, you have been here this whole time. And what do you mean your time up? We have been married for two years. And yes you did lose the race, but in time you fell in love with me and agreed to marry me. I love you my Queen."
I look down at my ring finger and see an emerald and gold ring. I stop breathing for what feels like hours Jareth says "Emma are you okay? You have gone deathly pale."
I shake my head and say "This isn't right! I am not married to you! This is a nightmare!"
I back up until I hit the balcony and start to fall. I then pass out.
I sit up straight and look around. I am still in the Labyrinth on the pillow. I get up and the glass ball is by my side with the clock saying I have three hours left.
I think out loud saying "But I was asleep for only ten minutes."
I then hear a voice in the crystal saying "Time in the Labyrinth is different than the mortal world."
I glare at the crystal and then smash it on the ground.
I then begin to walk again.
(Jareth's POV)
As she walks again I can't help but smirk at the dream. I made it specifically for her. She would become my Queen one way or another.
She gets to the willow tree, which means she is close to the end. I look at the clock and she has an hour and thirty minutes left.
She looks at it and I hear her say through the crystal "Wow, this is really beautiful. How can such a cruel man own something so beautiful?"
I scowl at that, but realize that she thought of me like that because I took her memories away from her of me, I did technically kidnap her, and I did force her here and I am making her run my Labyrinth, and I am going got keep her here no matter what.
Okay so I see why she said that, but if she knew the real me and I will give her memories of that night.
I look at clock now and see that she has less than an hour left. I say out loud "Soon my love. Soon."
I see her running until she comes up to the two doors. One leads here the other leads to the beginning. He goes up and the doors talk to her. They tell her that the one door will either lead her to my palace and the other will lead her back to the beginning.
I see her sigh in frustration. She says "You've got to be kidding me right? That is so not fair. And I have who knows how much time I have left." She glares and says to the doors "Can you please tell me what the right door is and what the wrong is. And I promise I won't tell a soul."
The doors say no and she sits down on ground. I then think of something. I look at the time and see she has twenty minutes left. I pause the time and appear to her. She jumps and says "What the hell are you doing here?"
I glare at her and I say "You have twenty minutes left. And I will help you with the doors, but you must sacrifice fifteen minutes of your time."
She glares back and says "Why the hell would I do that? I'm no idiot. Basically I will be giving up all that time for what? You giving me the answer to which door is the right one? No never going to happen!"
I smirk and say "Well you will not win either way." She stares at me wide-eyed and I say "Either you will pick the wrong door and end up at the beginning, which you won't have time to make it to my, or should I say our, castle, or I will take the time and give you the right door and you won't make it to the finish line in time. So either way I will win and you will stay here with me forever."
Her breathing becomes ragged and she says "So no matter what, I will still be a prisoner."
I narrow my eyes at her statement and say "Who said anything about you being my prisoner?"
She glares again and says "Well first off you kidnapped me," I roll my eyes. She keeps bringing that up, but in reality she did agree to stay here. "You are forcing me to stay here and become your wife and queen, which I am sure you will end up rapping me. Did I miss anything? Oh yes, and you are being a total bastard!"
"Look Emma, I know you don't like me right now, but in time you will fall in love with me again."
She looks confused and says "Again? I like just met you."
Oh shit I think. I cannot believe I just said that. I then recompose myself and say "The choice is yours Emma."
She says "Fine, tell me which door is the right one."
I smirk and say "Through the red doors my dear." I make the clock appear and take away fifteen minutes and say "You now have five minutes Emma, make them last."
I leave and wait at my Castles entrance.
(Emma's POV)
I wait till he leaves and go through the door. I start running till I see a castle straight ahead.
I run and run and see Jareth standing there looking smug. I run harder and get there.
I look at the time and it already says zero.
He comes up to me and says "I win."
A.N. Oh no what is Emma going to do now?! Please review and I am also sorry it went a little fast. I just didn't want to whole story taking up in the run of the Labyrinth.
Also I am sorry about my Peter Pan's Queen Story if you have read it, there was a crybaby who needed to get her way.
