DID YOU SEE! THAY MAD A LABYRINTH MANGA COMING OUT THIS MONTH (Yes I am very happy about it XD)
Disclaimer: I do NOT own 'Labyrinth' if I did a lot more things would have happened between Jareth and Sara XD
Summery: Sarah has fallen gravely ill and is ordered by Jareth to wish herself to the underground, but things are not always what they seem in this place, a great evil has taken root with in the labyrinth and Sarah and Jareth's link with this strange and marvelous land is about to be strained, as well as their link to each other.
There are simply to many reviewers for me to reply to you all individually so I will take this time to say thanks for all your kind words and interesting guess and suggestions, your support is what I love about writing, knowing you guys (and girls) like my story :)

The Bad Lands
His laugh was low and cruel the laugh of one who was truly evil, his crimson eyes glittered as he watched the goblin king, holding his human wench so carefully trying to comfort her in her pain. They both knew she was suffering in droves, the king had far to many links for this to really hurt him but if he kept it up it would drive to woman to the brink of insanity, how fun it was to torture such a simple creature. Behind him he herd bear feet padding across the darkness of the room pale arms wrapped around his neck and a face nuzzled in his neck
"Little princess what has you so upset?" he asked letting his hand drop and the image in his own crystal fade
"I can't help but feel we are doing this wrong my love, I saw her, she's so fragile yet she can fight your magic with such strength when she has him near her, they are both in love but she is so blind to it, she knows she feels for him but part of her is unwilling to accept that, almost as if she is afraid of what will happen if she admits her feeling for him." The voice was soft sad he smirked but it was hidden from her eyes he reached back and placed an hand on her face lightly guiding her lips to his neck
"You needn't worry about that, soon you will have her body and I will have his, little princess you will be free of your gilded cage." He said he could feel her lips twist into a small smile before she kissed his skin
"We'll be together in a new cage though." She whispered he shook his head
"It will be no cage we will be free, we will rule that realm and devour the magic's of this world, and then all the worlds, you will become the queen you should have become before that war, you will no longer be a watcher." He said turning and pushing her gently back in to the sheets she smiled and closed her eyes. With Helios she was loved, she was accepted no matter what she was in an instant the fabric was gone and so was she a shadow of her former self he smiled down at the place she lay
"My little princess trapped in a golden bird cage." He muttered his lips meeting hers and the light around them faded for now his attack on the magic with in the Labyrinth stopped for the moment.

Sarah relaxed in his arms and for a heart stopping second he feared the worst, but when Jareth saw the slow rise and fall of the woman's chest he gave a sigh of relief. Even though she was weak at least she was alive the red glow died and he realized they had to stop Helios from attacking again
"That name..." she breathed he looked down at her as her eyes fluttered open
"Helios, god of the sun in Greek mythology..." she muttered he chuckled
"Helios is by no means a god, he is a foolish Fae lord bent on controlling this world through any means necessary." Jareth said bitterly, his rage for the fae male increased a hundred fold now that Sarah was suffering because of his attacks.
The object of his thoughts whimpered lightly and he held her close carrying her back to her room and setting her gently back on the bed, the pain had been to much and she had passed out, but it seemed her dreams were no less painful.
"Sarah I'm sorry..." he muttered standing to leave he was stopped by a light grip on his shirt sleeve blinking in surprise he looked back to see she was holding the frilled fabric as best she could, her eyes lidded but open
"Not your fault, I'm just not strong enough..." she muttered he shook his head
"That's not true, you're very strong, you're still alive aren't you, and just think, you're the only one who's ever beaten my Labyrinth. You were so strong to over come all of those obstacles and still face me with courage. Is that not strength?" he asked she smiled faintly looking away from him in the direction of the window after a moment she spoke again
"I'm so sorry I truly should be the one apologizing to you, I've been nothing but trouble for you." He shook his head
"Sarah what I was saying before, it was the truth I really do-"
"YOUR HIGHNESS!" That same guard from before, but Sarah wasn't showing any pain that meant there wasn't an attack, perfect excuse to skin the little blighter alive.
"Yes?" he asked turning with a rather dangerous calm about his features the guard stopped again almost feeling mental knives carving him into pieces for interrupting his declaration Twice, not once but twice.
"Forgive me your highness but ambassadors from the Bad Lands have arrived they say it is urgent that they speak with you." He said fearfully Jareth turned to look at Sarah she smiled weakly
"Go, you are king, they need you more then I do, this is your land." She said softly settling a little before closing her eyes for a good sleep Jareth grabbed the goblin and cast a small spell then shoved a crystal in the creature's hands
"Do not leave this room or I swear the bog of stench will be what you beg for as punishment." He said sharply, could a goblin pale, the guard would have done just that but instead he nodded rapidly to show that he understood the threat. Flinging the goblin into a chair he stormed from the room to the conference room. Composing himself at the door he slipped back into the mask of a heartless bastard and threw open the doors.
"Your highness." A collective murmur from three rather ancient looking fae the ambassadors of the Bad Lands the area just past the north gate of the Labyrinth, were Sarah first saw the castle.
"Why is it you are here?" he demanded sitting, the other fae followed suit and settled in chairs around the table
"We have learned that your realm is under attack, while normally the realms would do nothing to help each other." One stated
"It seems your attacker has set his base of operations with in the heart of the Bad Lands, yet even there this dark mass can been seen from the capitol." Another said
"It is our wish that you come and remove this threat to our land, as it is your problem and not ours." The third finished Jareth frowned
"In other words you've come to beg me to get rid of your problem am I right?" he asked emphasizing the word 'your' to make his point
"You don't"
"Have any say"
"In who's problem it is." He frowned that was just creepy how they did that, Sarah would have found it amazingly strange then asked how they did that a slight smile touched his lips and an odd noise rose from the three
"Is something"
"Amusing"
"Your highness?" Jareth nodded
"The way you speak the three of you, I find it amusing." He said simply then he stood
"As you said realms do not make a habit of helping each other and for now I am saying this is, your, problem because I have it in good authority that he plans to control all the realms, so his citadel in your land is your problem, good day gentlefae." He said turning on his heel and striding out that simple action stating that he was done discussing it and they would be shown to the door. Striding back to Sarah's room he heard soft conversation and stopped
"I'm so glad to see you again, how have you been? It's been three years since that time hasn't it?" Sarah was speaking rather strongly but there was no reply he stood there for another moment
"Yes I know, it was my fault but you see, you weren't the one that I love, the time we spent together was important to me, but it helped me realize how much I really love him... I'm so sorry." Opening the door slowly he saw Sarah sitting at the window conversing with a wall flower the goblin guard standing in the corner looking at her strangely
"What's going on?" he asked the goblin shrugged
"Not sure, she just woke up and went over to the window with this bright smile on her face then she started talking to the flower your highness." Jareth walked over to Sarah and placed a hand on her shoulder
"Sarah?" he question she turned to him her eyes vacant then she smiled
"Oh! I was just telling James about you, he's upset still, I never meant to hurt him but your, the most important thing to me." She said he stopped
"James I want you to meet Jareth, he's been taking care of me, isn't he so kind?" she asked the flower the fae king frowned
"Sarah, that's a wall flower, what's wrong with you?" he asked, she stiffened
"Oh don't be that way, I just confessed my love for you, is that so bad?' she asked turning to him she smiled
"I'm feeling much better now, just a little laps, I guess I just miss my world... I'm going to get something to eat." She said sweeping past him the flowing fabric of the night gown fluttering as she walked with confidant steps with out hesitation she turned left and in that instant Jareth knew that wasn't Sarah
"She doesn't know the lay out the castle she shouldn't know were the kitchens are." He said following her quickly.
