Chapter 11:

A desperate wish and a lover's act

Disclaimer: I own nothing of the movie "The Labyrinth".

Reviews are greatly appreciated. The only I have changed is that I made Sarah half-Fae for a reason, which you will see if you continue to read…

(Sarah's POV)

When Sae left, I felt so exhausted from trying to not give in to the negative emotions that left me in an inner turmoil. I weakly looked over to Jareth who was bleeding badly I tried to get up and go and help him but my body wouldn't listen to me. I had enough strength to yell at Maddi, "Maddi go to Jareth's side and help him please!" Maddi nodded her head and ordered some of the goblins to get the healers and told Rikki to help me while she tries to her stop the wounds on Jareth's body from bleeding. Rikki rushes over to my side and says she is sorry about the duel and takes out a healing potion.

Within a few minutes a Fae (who looked like a medic) came and was healing Jareth's wounds. In a matter of minutes I was feeling better and got up and thanked Rikki for her help and walked over to Jareth who was accompanied by a sad looking/ mutter it's my entire fault Maddi. I knelt down and held one of Jareth's hands softly. An hour later and Jareth looked like he was back to full health. After to thanking and paying the medic; the medic left muttering bloody hell under his breath.

Jareth got up and ordered the goblins to leave and return to their original activities. With the goblins being busy he told Rikki, Maddi that they free for now and that he wished to speak to me alone. Rikki and Maddi bowed and left. I looked at Jareth who in turn looked at me with frustration and sadness. I followed him into his throne room.

He stepped a few feet away from me and screamed out in anger and sent a ball of magic to the wall. I cringed a little bit when I saw that the wall that Jareth targeted had a huge hole in it now. I was at a loss for words; I mean I knew that his pendant is important to him but, I didn't realize it is his kingdom's hidden treasure. I looked down to the floor; I felt angry with myself for being so weak and failing to stop Sae from winning.

(Jareth's POV)

I let out an angry scream, and sent a crystal filled with magic. I turned to see Sarah who looked like she was angry herself.

(Normal POV)

Meanwhile Maddi and Rikki were busy planning on their own.

(Maddi's POV)

When Jareth had told me that Rikki and I were free to do whatever we wanted for now; I smiled because I was waiting for an opportunity for freedom for a couple of hours. I have a plan, but it required an hour or so for my plan to work. Since I now have my free time, I can go onto phase 2 of my plan. Rikki knowing my plan, followed me to a wall left of the doors leading into Jareth's castle; I lifted my hand onto one of the bricks and the hidden door appeared and I opened it and Rikki and I went through into a medium size room where the goblins were sitting around wondering why I asked them to come here earlier this morning in secret, Rikki and I both love Jareth as a brother so that's I came up with this plan.

I got behind the podium that was on a small stage with stairs. Rikki went over and sat with the goblins. I cleared my throat to get the attention of the goblins. They were still talking, I sighed and yelled, "If everyone will shut up, I will give you guys your sweets!" The goblins stopped talking when they heard the word "sweets" I smiled and said in my authoritative voice, "That's much better, now on to the main the reason of why you guys are here. We all respect and our love our king and the Lady Sarah; but due to certain recent events, Jareth has yet to ask Lady Sarah to marry him." The goblins nodded in agreement.

I may look like I'm eighteen years old but that's because I chose to stop aging at that age. Faes, since we live for so long, and due to the tremendous amount of magic we have in our bodies, we have the ability to "stop" the aging process. Even though I have stopped aging that doesn't mean that I can't die, I can still die from injuries (more specifically iron inflicted injuries) or very rare but still effective, illnesses. (The same is true for Rikki even though she is full human).

Anyways, I have lived with the goblins since the start of Jareth's sovereignty. And even though Jareth has been with a fair amount of women in his time; not one of those women had he actually fallen in love with truly. Those women were basically the women he had a fancy for a time or they were short-lived romances. Anyways, the goblins, Rikki and I have waited patiently for Jareth to take a queen. I actually surprised that his parents have been extremely tolerant of Jareth being single; but unfortunately I have a feeling that they won't wait forever. Most of the Fae are not the most patient of creatures when it comes to mating and due do to our long live spans and our magic; it's extremely difficult for Fae females to get pregnant while with male Fae it is very easy for them to get females of other races pregnant.

I notice I was losing the attention of the goblins; they have such short attention spans. "Everyone please listen this is important; as we all know our lord is single and is not only our lord the king of the Goblin kingdom but is also the crowned High prince of the Underground. This is one of the main reasons why I called this meeting. The second reason is that I have a plan to get Jareth engaged and married to our Lady Sarah before 2 years pass. So raise your hands if you want Lady Sarah as our queen and will corporate with me and my plan to get ourselves a queen?"

I looked around the room to see all the goblins raising their hands and I smiled that was the answer was I hoping for. I waved my hand revealed the sweets that I got from the Aboveground. The goblins looked hungry and charged forward for the sweets. I quickly stepped out of the way in order to not be trampled by a bunch of goblins.

I walked over to Rikki and happily said, "Well that went well." Rikki responded, "I'll say, by the way, do you know anything about the shadows and their goal?" I told her what I knew and how I got the information on the shadows and its realm. After I finished talking, I saw Rikki's expression changed from happy to worry. "Maddi, I know that you are from Aquarius, the Underground kingdom of water and knowledge; and I also know that you are the protector of the Book of Fates, so my question is this: Why are you here when you should be protecting that book?" I smiled and said, "Relax, before I left Aquarius, I placed 10 deadly traps and incredibly hard riddles, not to mention I placed a very powerful protection enchantment around that book, no one can get to it."

Rikki gave me a "are you sure?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Yes, I am sure that no one can get that book. Also, I am not the only one who is supposed to protect one of the hidden treasures; you Rikki are protecting one of those items as well." Rikki nodded her head and replied, "Yes, but I am clever; I have the sword of Ignis the warrior king of Paraminda with me." I shrugged and I left with Rikki right behind me to join Jareth in his throne room.

(Jareth's POV)

I realized that I might have scared Sarah, because she looked a little bit scared. I guess I should tell her why my pendant is important. I asked Sarah to sit on the steps of my throne with me because my explanation would take a while. When we sat down, Sarah looked at me to listen to what I have to say. I took a deep and breathe and said, "Sarah, I know you just came here a couple of days ago so you probably do not know the significance in my pendant."

I looked to see if Sarah was still listening to me and she was. I continued, "In the Underground there are 6 major kingdoms; Aquarius, the kingdom of water and knowledge, Paraminda, the kingdom of fire and power, Luminas, the kingdom of light and justice and also heart the Underground because it is located at the very center of the Underground, Ilmatar, the kingdom of the wind and courage, Kylemore, the kingdom of earth and protection, and finally my realm, the Goblin kingdom, the kingdom of dreams and illusions.

Each of those kingdoms has a hidden treasure that has a significant meaning to each of the kingdoms. Those treasures are; Aquarius's treasure, the Book of Fates, the sword of Ignis the warrior king of Paraminda, the scepter of Lumina, the goddess of light, Ilmatar's treasure is the longbow of the Gales, Kylemore's treasure is the shield of Eden, and the Goblin kingdom's treasure, as you now know, is the Goblin pendant. Each treasure is protected by either their respective rulers or chosen guardians.

Those who are protecting those precious treasures now are; Lumina's high queen and my mother, Catherine, Kylemore's king, Matthias, Sky, the current wind sage, and believe or not, Maddi who is from Aquarius, Rikki of Paraminda, and me. Those treasures are very powerful and ancient and they give their rulers or proctors remarkable powers, and are sacred to each kingdom."

Sarah nodded and looked worried and shocked because then she asked, "So umm…if your mother is queen of the light kingdom what does that make you? What happened to your father? Also what can your pendant do? I mean when you have it with you." I smiled and replied, "Well, even though I am truly gifted at illusions and spirit magic and I could definitely rule the Goblin kingdom without it; but when I had it, I could summon extremely powerful creatures if it was necessary and be able to grant more complex wishes, also I could control the labyrinth more easily when I had it on me. Also since my mother is high queen that would make me the crowned prince of the Underground and next high king. I am ruling the Goblin kingdom until my mother deems me ready to take over. And my father died in a war 4000 years ago."

Sarah smiled and said jokingly, "You mean, by yourself you couldn't governor the labyrinth without the goblin pendant?" I shook my head and answered her, "No, that is not true, I can still control the labyrinth, but it will be slightly difficult for me to change it for runners because of the large amounts of energy that is needed to change the labyrinth" Sarah inquired, "So what do we do now? I mean can we get into the realm of Shadows and get your pendant back by force?" I sighed and told her truthfully, "Sarah, I would go to that forsaken realm myself, if I was certain that I would come back with no problems; but, there is a reason why no one; especially those of my race, do not enter that realm." Sarah asked me why not and says that I am strong enough. I chuckled slightly at her belief in my strength. "If I was strong enough precious thing, then I would have not lost my pendant to that fiend, no, I know I am not strong to resist the shadows pull- Sarah gave me look that said "then I will go" no Sarah, I will not allow you to go to that evil realm, I you are strong, but remember, you are half human and therefore more prone to seduction that the shadows will likely bring upon you."

Sarah was about to protest, but I raised my hand to stop her and said causally, "Not another word on that subject, now I have been meaning to ask you on a date. So, I will do so now, Sarah will you do me the honor of going on a date with me today?" Sarah slightly blushed and said that she would happily go on a date today. I told her I would meet her here in the throne room in one hour, Sarah nodded and left to go and get ready.

(Sarah's POV)

I quickly got to my room and closed the door and quickly looked through my walk in closet to pick out a dress.

(Rikki's POV)
When Maddi and I got into the throne room we saw Jareth pacing back and forth in front of his throne. I told Maddi that I wanted to go find Sarah and that she should stay here and keep an eye on Jareth. She nodded and walked over and sat on the steps that lead up to Jareth's throne. When I walked out of the room Hoggle walked past me and greeted me. I did a friendly salute at him and asked him what he was doing. He told me that he was going to give Jareth the list of things that needed to be taken care of in the labyrinth. I told him that Jareth was pacing.

I have a feeling that Sarah is in her room doing something. I quickly ran up the stairs to where Sarah's room is. I can perform magic but I can't teleport myself (without losing an arm or leg in the process) so I have to walk or run which sucks. I got to Sarah's room and noticed that the door was open slightly; I walked in to see Sarah's bed covered by beautiful dresses. She turns around looking frustrated. Sarah said desperately, "Rikki can you give me your opinion on what dress I should wear for my date with Jareth today?" Ah, so that's her reason for a messy bed.

I walked into her walk-in closet, I looked around. After a few minutes I brought out a dress to see if Sarah would like it. The dress is a simple sea-blue beach short knee length that comes with white sandals. Sarah said with delight, "Oh, that's perfect! Thanks for helping me Rikki!" I said it was no problem. And with that Sarah walked into her closet and started to get changed.

After 30 minutes Sarah came out of the closet and twirled around and asked how she looked. I looked at her with awe; her hair was in a loose but not too loose ponytail and she had a gold bracelet on her right wrist; she was also wearing the Jewel of Light around her neck. The dress itself complemented Sarah's emerald eyes well, she looked like a goddess. I said with admiration, "You look like a goddess, Sarah. Come on, Jareth is waiting in the throne room." Sarah and I ran all the down the hall (which wasn't very long) and we were off to the throne room.

(Maddi's POV)

I watched my monarch pacing back and forth like a nervous idiotic school boy. My king is wearing grey tight pants with a white poet shirt that shows some of his hairless chest with gloves. I couldn't help but notice that Jareth still looks handsome but, since he doesn't have his pendant, he looks like a normal Fae. My lord is not normal, even by Fae standards; there has to be a way to get his pendant back. Hoggle told me earlier that he asked Sarah to go on a date with him today. I was about to tell him to stop, but Hoggle said with annoyance in his voice, "Yer majesty, stop yer pacing! Seriously, Sarah will come when she's ready." Jareth was about to say one of his usual nasty insults, but I quickly asked him, "Your highness, where are going to take Sarah? Not to be disrespectful but, you know how the other Faes feel about half-breeds and that they do not like seeing them move up in rank." Jareth sighed and said, "I know that Maddi, that's why I am planning on going to Blue Moon Lagoon in the Mystic Forest."

I was surprised, that was not what I had in mind for a first date. Although the crystal clear secluded lagoon would be perfect for proposing to someone. Then it dawned on me and I asked with excitement, "Wait! Jareth are you going to propose to Sarah?" Hoggle looked up to our monarch with worry, Jareth shook his head and said calmly, "No, at least not yet anyway. I want to bring Sarah to that place because it is not only a beautiful view, but I can talk to her and get to know her better there."

I gave a look that showed that I understood. I know that Jareth loves Sarah with all his being and I'm happy for him; I mean he has watched her since the day of her birth and we all want her as our queen, but Jareth doesn't know Sarah very well; at least not well enough to fully understand her anyway.

A few moments later, Sarah walked into Jareth's throne room with Rikki behind her. I looked back to see Jareth who looked like he was about kiss Sarah senselessly and tell how amazing she looks, but restrained himself from doing so.

Jareth asked Sarah is she was ready; when she told him she was he gently grabbed Sarah's hand and the two love birds vanished from our sights.

(Sarah's POV)

While Jareth and I were traveling, I was starting to feel sick and clung onto him for my dear life and closed my eyes. After what seemed forever; I opened my eyes to see a beautiful lagoon with a crystal clear blue color surrounded by tall evergreen trees. Near the water was a large picnic blanket with two plates with glasses and fruit and other foods.

We walked over and sat down on the blanket. For a few moments there was an awkward silence between us. My mind echoes a thought through me. Okay Sarah, you are on a date with the man of your dreams, so don't say anything stupid! Jareth was the first to break the silence, "So what do you think of this place Sarah?" I looked up and smiled and replied, "This place is beautiful, it must be important to you." I mentally slapped myself, of course this place is important to him, and otherwise why would he bring me here?

Jareth looked surprised that I guessed because he said, "Yes, this place is important to me, because it is where I spent most of my childhood." A "oh" escaped from my mouth, I grabbed a strawberry and was about to eat it when Jareth asked, "Sarah, I thought you love peaches," he picked up one and continued, "how come you are not eating one?" I laughed and said jokingly, "I saw the peaches and I thought back to my time in the labyrinth when Hoggle gave that tainted peach. Since then I tried to stay away from them." Jareth's face was filled with slight pain and guilt, "Sarah, I gave Hoggle that peach to give to you because I wanted to delay your running; you must understand Sarah, I do not like to lose easily and wanted to delay you so that you would fail."

I sighed and responded, "Jareth, I understand now and I forgive you; now, can you forgive me for blaming you for not being fair and "kidnapping" my little brother and for not accepting your offer back then?" Jareth's face turned from pain to loving and replied, "Sarah, I forgave you a month ago after you left; I realized you were too young to understand what I was offering." I nodded; when I looked again I found that Jareth's lips were only inches away from mine. I closed the gap between us.

The kiss started to be gently, but it quickly became fiery passion; Jareth's tongue licked my lips demanding to come into my mouth, I opened my mouth enough to let Jareth's tongue meet mine. While we were kissing Jareth's hands were roaming my body and I moaned when I felt him reach my breasts and started to caress them. My hands slowly creaked up to Jareth's shoulders then to his head and pulled him down so that we were both lying on the blanket.

Just when one of Jareth's hands reached down between my legs, he stopped shaking his head as if to remind himself of having control. I smirked knowing that only I can make lose his self-control. Jareth helped me to sit back up. Jareth quickly asked me what my favorite things are and what I had been doing these past 3 we ate our food, I asked him about himself; I laughed when he told me about an incident that happened to one of the goblins, named Zappy who happened to have gotten his name because of it. Then suddenly Jareth looked serious because he asked, "Sarah, I am sorry, but I must ask you something." I gave him a questioning look but told him, he could ask me anything.

He complied and asked in a serious voice, "Sarah, you when Sae said that you were her "light half" and she that she was your "dark half", what did she mean by that?" I sighed; I knew this question was going to come up sooner or later. I calmly said, "Jareth, please understand that I only just learned this information myself."

He nodded and made a hand jester that told me that I tell him. I explained everything that had happened so far; from the cave exploration to what Sae had said to me. I looked at Jareth who looked at me with sadness and relief. He pulled me into a hug and said, "I am glad that you are alright," He released me from his hold and continued, "I must tell you something Sarah," I looked at him with curiosity. "Sarah, sometimes when a Fae or a halfling is born, another being is born as well; those beings are known to the Fae as opposite beings. When a strong will person is born whether they are evil or good, has a heart that is not in/close or is far from being balanced with their darkness and light, an Opposite being is born. Depending on the side of the heart that is stronger, will determine what the Opposite being will act like. Most look like their "twin" but not always; sometimes an opposite being can look completely different but most of the time they look the same. The only difference is either their eye color or their personality. Also, for example since Sae is your Opposite being, she lives in the realm of shadows; but, there is a problem with Opposite beings and that is the two beings cannot live separate for long; usually when unbalanced person reaches 20 years of life the two beings die because the soul can't survive living in two people."

After Jareth said that, it finally dawned on me that since Sae is my dark half and I'm 18 right now; then I should find a way for Sae and me to put our parts of my soul together. I asked Jareth, "How can someone get their Opposite being's soul to merge with the other?" Jareth causally said, "There are three ways for an unbalanced soul to become balance; one way is that one of the beings are willing to cease to exist, another way is that one you force your respective part onto the other and completely for lack of a better term "devour" that part of the soul. Or the last way is for you two to duel to the death with one of you being the victor."

I asked Jareth, "Jareth, what would happen to me if I lost to Sae in a duel?" Jareth looked pained and said sadly, "I hope that never happens, but in the case that it does happen, Sae would be able to take possession of your body, your beautiful eyes would become yellow and basically you would cease to exist." I was horrified. I don't want to die; I don't want to leave you! I have to find a way to get stronger both in magic and spiritually. Jareth hugged me and I lost myself to his scent of magic and spices.

Jareth summoned a clock and looked at the time; it is 4:00 p.m. Jareth sighed, "Well it's getting late and I need to get back to the castle," He stood up and waved his hand doing so made the picnic vanish which was fine we were both done eating anyways. I stood up and was about to take hold of his hand when I looked around to see a group of dark looking creatures that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Jareth looking very annoyed; flicked his wrists and a crystal appeared and flung at the creatures which took damage. Damn it! I won't lose to Sae again! I suddenly got an idea; I raised my hands opened and put them in front of me and yelled; doing so released a massive ray of electric magic and spiritual power. In a matter of moments the creatures were destroyed and vanished from our sight. Jareth turned to me and congratulated me. I smiled gently and started to walk towards him when I felt extremely lightheaded and weak. I fell to the ground breathing heavily. What's happening to me? Why do I feel so weak?

Jareth looked worried and knelt down by my side and firmly said, "That's what happens when you release more power than you are capable of; I am going to have to carry you." I looked up to him; I'm a little bit annoyed that Jareth thinks that just because I almost collapsed, he thinks that I have to be carried, "Jareth I can walk on my own thank you very much."

I tried to get up but instantly I was on my hands and knees again. Jareth rolled his eyes and picked me up bridal style, "Sarah, I know you are strong and are independent, but please let me help you."

Too weak to object I let Jareth carry me; as usual he quickly transported us back to the castle. I looked around and realized that we were in my room. Jareth gently placed me on my bed and told me to rest until dinner. He kissed me on my forehead and left. When he was gone, I sat up and brought my knees under my chin. Damn it! Why can't I do anything without fainting or feeling weak?

I know Jareth wants to keep me safe; but I don't want to be rescued all the time! I got up and walked over to my balcony and looked at the sky. It was peaceful and I felt relaxed. Sarah you are so weak it's pathetic! Sae's comment managed to get return to my head. I sighed and I decided right then and there I that I was not going to prey to anyone else anymore. I closed my eyes and put my hands together to make a wish. Since Jareth is the king of wishes and dreams; I thought that maybe this wish would come true. I wished out loud, "I wish there's a way for me to get stronger than I am now."

As soon as I made that wish, I heard a strong deity like voice, "Your wish will be granted." I looked around to see who said that, but there was no one there. I shook my head thinking that I must be hallucinating since I'm so tired. I walked back into my room and lay down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
