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 Prayer Room
Everything was sore she wasn't sure where she was, everything was dark, but her feet were moving, she was on her toes soft fabric caressed her skin as she moved what ever she was dancing on was wet, it felt like stone. She could feel everything moving her body moving to some sort of exotic rhythm her hands and fingers twisting in an elegant display that she couldn't see. Then she could hear the music, a sound of rhythmic chanting that filled the air around her. The chant seemed wordless yet full of meaning as she danced she tried to understand what was going on where she was and how she was moving with out moving.
"You're beautiful." The voice was smooth like the finest silk, and suddenly her body wasn't moving and arms had settled on her shoulders wrapping around her and pulling her close to a firm chest. The darkness around her exploded in to a mix of amazing colors and suddenly she was being swept around by the arms deep red eye looked into her and slowly she could make out his features as he pulled her body around dancing with her moving and matching their steps in what felt like an amazingly fast waltz much like her kings dance but faster. Bubbling laughter escaped her but it was not hers the man spun her quickly and pulled her close, the colors flashed around them and she could feel the cold of the room and his fingers laced with hers
"Helios!" she knew that voice, the voice of that evil woman she didn't like it she hated it, the voice, the woman, the dancing, everything about the situation she hated. The man smiled his eyebrows not marked like her beloveds no; Helios was a fae who had been cast out
"One half of your plane has been completed, the girl is sleeping with in me, soon just like you said she will die from despair as you kill her love in front of her, and she watches her own hands kill her dearest friends." The woman laughed as she spoke as if it meant nothing to her, it probably didn't One hand slid up and touched her face she felt that to.
"We'll cure the sickness we infected her with it will be no good if you are forced to take on her illness when your own body forms." He said softly pushing away the chocolate colored hair to reveal the dark black that had fully consumed her ear and was slowly spreading in to her hairline
"You infected me?" The voice was weak exhausted but it was hers. The colors died and Helios pulled away glaring at Sarah with contempt his eyes cold and harsh
"I see so you're awake now? Her frivolous dancing must have woken you..." he said sharply Sarah looked at him confused
"How can you talk about her so cruelly?" She said suddenly defensive Helios smiled arrogantly as she realized her mistake
"Wait bad guy, I don't care anyway!" she said quickly a slight flush of embarrassment on her cheeks, Helios stepped forward and Sarah stepped back fast
"Stay away from me your at fault for what's been happening to me, you can just go away!" she said loudly He frowned the crimson eyes narrowing and in flash he was on her she fell to the ground and he pinned her arms
"Listen here human, your body id going to be used as a medium to summon the war princesses body, and your beloved Jareth shall be the medium for my own, I'm at least allowing you to die together rather then just killing you off now. Be happy I am granting you that." He said sharply, the ground beneath her seemed to liquefy and she felt herself sinking he stood as she struggled against the goop a cruel smile on his face as the dark goop covered her face and eyes slowly enveloping her in shadow.

Jareth Paced restlessly as he awaited the last of them, looking up as a scuffle sounded out side the throne room
"He called fer me ya dolt no let me through!" Hoggle's voice rang through the air and he stopped in dragging his feet as a goblin clung desperately to his legs trying to prevent him from entering
"I'm sorry your highness I told him you were meeting with some one but-" the goblin silenced as the king shot him a deadly glare
"I have been waiting for you Hoggle You leave now and make sure we are not disrupted!" he snapped The goblin nodded quickly and shut the throne room doors as soon as he did they all looked at him Ludo, Didymus, Hoggle, and Toby his eyes a little red from tears not long ago shed
"They took Sarah." He said Simply Hoggle and Didymus, for once silent, nodded in understanding of their king's words. Toby frowned Shaking his head
"Why?! Why did they take Sarah, and who took her, please, she my sister we have to help her." He said Jareth nodded
"And we will, me and you three will go into the bad lands, I already got a request to handle the dark tower that has formed there an-"
"What about me Your not leaving me here to worry!" Toby said loudly Jareth paused and kneeled by the boy resting a hand on his shoulder
"Toby I have a very important job for you, Mitchi can help you." He said the boy looked at him his eyes welling with more tears at the thought of being left behind
"W-what do I need to do?" he asked Jareth smiled
"My castle has a special room, a prayer room. I need you to go into that room and wish and just keep wishing, for me and Sarah's friends to be strong enough to get to her, and for Sarah to be ok when we do, any wish that can help us. You must make, I'll take another fairy with me and if there is something particular we need I'll tell her, she will tell Mitchi and Mitchi will tell you, you must then wish desperately for what we need so that it can aide us." He said Toby nodded
"But how can that work what use are my wishes?" he asked Jareth smiled
"You and your sister have power, every human does but you and Sarah are special you have been to my realm, Sarah defeated me and gained even more power and you gained some of it as well, the both of you have a lot of magic for mortals." He said with a smile the boy wiped his eyes and nodded his face set with determination
"Jareth, you love my sister right?" he said suddenly the goblin king was surprised and answered honestly
"I knew it, Sarah love you to, I can tell, when she tells me your story, she always speaks of what you were like as if she angry but her eyes give her away." he said with a smile
"Please, save my sister from the bad people." He said Jareth smiled and nodded
"Yes of course we wi-" the royal fae stopped grimacing slightly Toby looked at him concerned
"Jareth?" He asked the others walked over looking at the king with worry but in an instant his stood
"I'm fine, Just a pang come we'll take Toby to the prayer room before we head out." He said sweeping out of the room followed quickly by the four.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The prayer room was a work of magic unto its self, Toby's amazement when he saw it could only be voiced in a gasp of utter awe at it's beauty, the room was circular and grass carpeted the ground but it was a deeper shade then he had ever seen grass be and much finer almost like tick hair then grass. From the door to a central pillar of glittering rainbow colored crystal was a path of glittering blue slabs of stone sat in to similarly colored dirt around the crystal pillar was a fountain of water along the edge many colored gems shined in a light that the pillar seemed to glow with on it own. There was no other possible light source in the room Toby felt suddenly light and stepped forward
"There are years of wishes with in these walls, years of power and love." He said softly Jareth held out an arm as Hoggle stepped forward to follow the boy
"You understand you task Toby?" Jareth asked the boy kept walking and Hoggle looked up at Jareth confused but as the youth reached the fountain he turned his eyes vacant
"Save my sister." He said softly the pillar altered an a glow fell across him his cloths fading into flowing white robes that shimmered with a golden glitter as he moved dropping to his knees his head bowed his hands clasped his eyes closed
"Please save her." He said softly before he started muttering, each few muttering the words I wish could be herd, and with each wish the team of four began to feel strength filling them.
"Let's go." Jareth said turning a sweeping out of the room his boots clicking on the stone just as a goblin woman carried Mitchi in to the prayer room.
After obtaining a fairy of his own Jareth led the group to the court yard and waved for a horse and a pony, His steed was a proud steel grey his main and tail the purest white its eyes a deep black. He mounted quickly and watched as Hoggle scrambled on to a short white pony that whinnied as he finally settled on the saddle.
"The Badlands Kokori and make haste!" he gave the command and the group was off Ludo running rather fast for a beast his size, Didymus on Ambrosius, Hoggle on the pony, and the King heading them on his grey horse headed to the west and the ever shifting badlands of the lower realms.
