Thanks for the reviews.

I've changed the story a bit. Sorry. Hopefully this will make it clearer.

Warning: Sexual Images. Tyson is mentioned, but doesn't speak so no bad language.

Enjoy and review.


Chapter 8

Jareth pulled Sarah's chair out for her. Sarah sat on Jareth's right, while Toby sat across from her. Jareth of course sat at the head of the table.

Dinner went along fairly well. Sarah and Jareth didn't argue or fight. Both listened as Toby talked about school.

Later Sarah sent Toby off to bed. Of course being a ten-year-old boy he didn't want to, but after Sarah told him a story he fell asleep.

Jareth stood in the doorway watching Sarah with Toby. A slow smile appeared on his face. This is what he wanted. Sarah reading to children. Not just any children-their children.

As Sarah came toward the door to leave he moved to allow her to exit. Sarah gently shut the door to Toby's room.

Jareth gently placed a hand on Sarah's forearm. "Sarah, I want to show you something."

Sarah sighed. "All right."


Jareth led Sarah to his private study. Once inside he led her to a soft leather sofa near the fireplace.

Sarah sat beside Jareth on the sofa. "What do you want to show me?"

Jareth took hold of Sarah's hands. "What do you think your fiancé is doing right now?"

"Hopefully looking for me."

Jareth released her hands and formed a crystal. "He isn't, Sarah. Would you like to see what he is doing instead?"

Sarah looked at him. "How do I know you aren't forcing it to show me what you want me to see?"

"Crystals do not lie. Just like a mirror. Do you want to me to show you?"

Sarah sighed. "Fine. Show me."

Jareth flicked his wrist. Sarah looked into the crystal in his hand.


Tyson was in a cheap motel room. He was on top of a woman. It wasn't too hard to figure out what he was doing. A second woman climbed on to his back and began rubbing herself on him.

Later as both women slept. He took them again. Neither woman awoke as he had his fun.


Sarah looked from the crystal to Jareth. "I'm so glad I didn't give that jerk my virginity."

Jareth smiled. "Sarah, he was doing this before he met you."

"I believe that. I want him to pay. He shouldn't treat women like that."

Jareth's smile turned to a smirk. "I agree, but as long as he is there I can't do anything."

Sarah got a glint in her eye. "I wish you would hold Tyson prisoner."

Jareth nodded. "Done, Precious. Anything else?"

"Make sure those women aren't pregnant."

"I'll do my best."


Although it was late at night, Hoggle had come when Sarah had called him. He told the same as Jareth.

"He may be a rat, but he didn't lie. Crystals cannot lie. They only show the truth. Just like mirrors."

"But mirrors can be distorted. I've seen them."

"No here."

Sarah sighed. "Thanks, Hoggle."

"Sarah, I'm glad you aren't marrying that rat anymore."

"Jareth or Tyson?"

"Tyson. Jareth may be a rat, but he loves you."

Sarah watched as Hoggle quickly headed back to his home.

Sarah sighed and went to her room.


Sarah relaxed in her tub. The warm water helped to clear her mind. Her fiancé was a womaniser and a sick jerk. She was glad she knew what he was really like, but didn't feel right about something.

She stood up in the tub. The water began to drain on its own. She wrapped the robe of green terrycloth around her and walked into her room. After dressing for bed, she combed her hair out.

A knock came from her door. Sarah stood up and walked to the door. She opened it to find Jareth standing in front of her.

"He's in the dungeon. I'll let you decide what to do with him."

"Just chain him up for now. I'll think of something."

Jareth nodded. "Good night, Sarah."

"Night."

Sarah gently shut the door and climbed into her bed. She laid looking up at the canopy over the bed. Slowly she began to fall asleep.


Jareth walked into his bedchamber. The room had changed from dark to light. He had changed it in hope Sarah would agree to be his queen, but she had still refused him.

Sighing he gestured with his hand and his Goblin King attire transformed into simple silk loose trousers. He walked to his wall of windows.

Looking out over the darkened Labyrinth he sighed. She had no idea he was right next door. If she needed him he would come. He had realized as he was getting Tyson that she would need time to deal with the rat.

Jareth gestured with his hand and the candles went out. He sat on the edge of his bed. I'll let him stay asleep for a few days. That should allow Sarah to come up with what to do with him.

The Goblin King then got into his bed and restlessly fell asleep.
