Sarah winced; as the hold on her hair got tighter due to the fact her father's fear was increasing quicker after he had heard Jareth's voice. She had sensed Jareth approach and she was now wondering why her father was still holding her. Just as that thought crossed her mind she was dropped to the floor and her head made contact with the floor.

Jareth was standing right behind the evil man that dared enter his world, dared trying to take Sarah away from him and who dared to think he could win over a mighty Goblin King. Jareth could hear Sarah struggling in front of her father, this had to end now! Jareth allowed his anger that he had bottled up to flood through his body and before he had time to take control properly he had kicked Robert Williams in the lower back and watched with pleasure as the man flew over Sarah who was now lying on the floor. Jareth then reached down over Sarah to her father and picked him up by his collar and launched him practically down 2 flights of stairs.

Robert felt one of his ribs crack as he tumbled down the stairs, anger boiled through him again as he got to his feet. Just as he stood upright he was knocked off balance by a fist flying into his jaw. Robert's reflexes kicked in and he attempted to take a swing at a now scary looking Jareth. However the punch made by Robert was a failed miss as Jareth caught the fist in his own hand. Robert cried out in pain as he felt all the bones in his hand grind together as Jareth crushed the life out of it.

'Well Mr Williams it seems we meet again, as I remember in the same circumstances,' Jareth's voice was icy and dark. 'However there is a small change to the schedule, I intend to finish what I started. Why I didn't do it then I don't know.' Jareth then punched with his free hand into Roberts's gut causing another cry out in pain and hunching over of the body. Jareth's knee was immediately brought up to his face.

Robert's face was on fire with pain, he could taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth, and felt it slowly trickle from his nose dripping on the floor. He spat the blood from his mouth before raising his body to stand as straight as possible. 'Sarah would never forgive you if you killed me, she still loves me as I am her father.'

'Sarah can't stand you, she doesn't even call you her father just some random being. So I don't think she would mind at all. But thank you Robert for your concern but it is not necessary.' Another blow was made which caused Robert to crumple to the floor like a small bug, hugging in his body to prevent any further injury. Jareth then raised his arms above his own head.

Sarah scrambled up from her position on the floor; she hadn't fainted but just was a bit dizzy. Her head was dully throbbing. She rose to her feet and looked around frantically to the sound of a scuffle. There 2 flights below, Sarah saw Jareth kick her father in the lower region and he crumpled to the floor. Pure hatred filled every fibre of her being. This man had caused her agony for three years; any love for him had long gone. She glanced her eyes to look at Jareth who had by this point raised his arms high above his head. What appeared in his hands made her gasp.

A large sword had appeared in Jareth's hands, he raised his hands further in height and plunged. Sarah looked away horror struck, she couldn't believe this was happening and on her wedding day. She knew Jareth's rage and realised that this could end up in a blood bath but she suddenly felt her own anger boil over for her father. She ran down the flights of stairs to where the bath started to pour.

The sword went through the flesh on Robert's thigh with ease and the scream of pain was music to Jareth's ears. He slowly retracted the sword from Robert's leg slowly dragging out the pain from the wound. The sword was then raised again this time above Robert's chest but before Jareth could strike again Sarah caught hold of his arm. 'Please Jareth!' her voice was desperate with an indescribable tone.

'What do you mean Please Jareth Sarah this man has caused you so much pain its only right he suffers and accepts the consequences for what he did to you! So don't Please me…as far as law is concerned he should be put to death immediately, but I'm dragging it out very slowly.'

'Your not listening to me Jareth. I know what he has done…remember I was the one who suffered!' Before Jareth had even registered what was happening Sarah had snatched away the sword from his hands and raised it her self above her fathers chest.

'No Sarah!' he grabbed out at her just inches before the knife would have met her father's chest.

'Let me do it, I'm the one he has caused pain, not you so I am going to finish what you obviously couldn't finish!' Sarah's mind wasn't right Jareth concluded she was not like herself one bit, she would never dream of hurting another being, not ever. Although maybe she thought he would be out of their lives forever if he was not of the living anymore. But Jareth had suddenly thought of a better idea.

'Sarah; killing him is too pain free for him, it will be quick and he wont understand the suffering that he has put on you in your life. Please this is the best way to really gain revenge or closure and I promise he will never be coming to hurt you ever again!'

The sword loosened in Sarah's hands, until it fell to the floor with a CLANG! Jareth's arm went around Sarah's waist pulling her in close to him, never letting her go from him again. 'Robert Williams as Goblin King I am charging you with the attempted kidnap and torture of abuse on Sarah Williams. Through normality your punishment is death; I am however willing to make an exception in your case; to gain…if you will… a taste of your own medicine. I thereby sentence you to be expelled to the land of the damned. Now this may sound the better option however let me assure you there will not be a day go by with you not begging for death. A place that no human can ever survive with their mind still intact, you will be pushed inches to death everyday but never die and where nightmares are forever a reality. Oh and one final thing forever is a lot longer than you think. There is no escape and no remorse for any of the action taken out on you. Are you a religious man Mr Williams?'

'No' his voice was shaking with fear from what was just described for the rest of his life.

'Well then you best start praying, praying that you had not returned to the Underground and pray I had killed you when we last met. Sarah say good bye to your father.'

Robert looked at his daughter pleading in his eyes for her sweet side to show and save him from the horrors awaiting him. But he found none; Sarah simply walked away from Jareth and her father, up the stairs and out of the Escher Room.

Jareth looked at a now pale Mr Williams, Jareth gave him an evil toothy grin before throwing one last punch at him knocking him straight in the nose and when the satisfying sound of his nose breaking Jareth spoke. 'Sorry couldn't resist' and suddenly Robert Williams was no longer crouching on the floor clutching his face but had disappeared in a cloud of black smoke leaving no trace he was ever there.

Now to do some serious damage control and find Sarah. And with that he ran up to the level Sarah had exited closing and locking the door behind him. Tomorrow that room would be destroyed and rebuilt to an unrecognisable state. That was one of the small things he could do to help Sarah overcome this whole experience.

'HOGGLE!' A small dwarf appeared in front of his majesty bowing ever so slightly. The dwarf was obviously worried about Sarah. 'Go find Sarah, and just sit with her, keep her company till I return I need to do damage control and this could take a while…and well I would rather she not be on her own straight away.'

'Of course your majesty.' And with that the little dwarf ran down part of the corridor before disappearing.

A few hours later Jareth trudged up to the room Sarah was in, it was their bedroom. He had spent the last 3 hours erasing half the population who had attended the wedding's memory creating the memory that the wedding date still hadn't been set; he was drained. He had to make sure no trace of Robert was left in the castle. The throne room was returned to the way it was before the wedding, any items that could link to Robert had been destroyed. He hesitated by the door to their room, he wasn't sure whether to leave her tonight and give her space or to be with her. Finally his heart took over and he quietly entered the room. He found only Sarah standing out on the balcony looking over the wide spread of land that was the Labyrinth. She spoke in a whisper that Jareth would have missed if he hadn't been so focused on her. 'I sent Hoggle to bed, so don't punish him for not being with me.'

Jareth approached cautiously and placed a hand on each of her shoulders, he turned her around to face him. Her eyes were red and puffy she had been crying a lot since he last saw her. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling herself into his warm comfort.

Sarah felt safe in his embrace she knew he would always protect her, and yet her eyes began to well up and she cried. Cried like there was no tomorrow for too many reasons that all hit her at once. Jareth just pulled her closer to him and held her, muttering words of comfort to her, he held her till all that remained were small hiccups and dry sobs.
