Disclaimer- I own nothing Labyrinth

When the Labyrinth's sun rose light spilled into Sarah's room through several windows that hadn't been there before. She looked up, the light burning her tired eyes.

Sarah hadn't slept all night, closing her eyes was becoming a nightmare in itself.

The night had been hell, the rage filled; frenzied faces of those whom she had once called friend hounded her. They screamed at her, invaded her mind with perverse and deadly threats. "B-But they wouldn't do that…they love me…"

You left them. The voice in her head screamed at her. You left them all alone, and now you're alone! You'll be lucky if Jareth still wants you after what you said to him! After you made him bleed! "No!" She countered, rocking back and forth, wanting to cry but her tears were all dried up. "He did this," She sniffled, taking in deep breaths, trying to calm down, to think rationally. "He did those things to my friends."

Then why did you ignore them? Why didn't you protect them? You know you could have! You did it! All of it! Spoiled selfish brat! The antagonistic voice continued. You're lucky he even wants you at all! You should beg for forgiveness!

"No! I can't!" She rocked harder. "I won't, he…he…" What has he done? Offer his love? His power? All of him to you and what did you do? Sarah began to shake. Oh you fucked up girly. The voice was persistent. Did you ever fuck up!

"W-what can I do? Can't I save them! Oh God! Please let me save them!"

Beg for his mercy.

With a slow, disoriented nod Sarah stood on shaking legs. She took a hesitant step towards the bathroom door. She made it to the door, the voice whispering in her head. Only he can save you. Sarah moved into the washroom, then to the door that led to his room.

Opening the door slowly she stepped inside the darkened room. There were two candles lit, casting shadowed light upon the massive bed. Sarah slinked towards it; the only sound she could hear was her own labored breathing. As she approached the bed tears sprung up. She looked around for a moment, noticing that the suns light was shunned by dark curtains. Her green, tearful eyes then turned to the sleeping form on the bed. He looked so peaceful, so calm, and so safe.

She sat down on her knees just before the bed, resting her chin and her arms on the white blankets, their softness surprising her. She sniffled, careful though not to wake up. Sarah felt her eyes droop, but she resisted, she didn't want to see them, she didn't want to hear them, and she didn't want to feel them.

Jareth was already awake. He had woken up the second her hand was on his door knob. Now he just listened to her tears, feel only slightly remorseful that once again he had caused her tears. But excitement also ripped through him and he had to fight for his composure, to stay still and to just wait.

Sarah looked at him sleeping once more, so damned peaceful. She wanted to be at peace, to just sleep. She was so exhausted that the temptation of his soft bed, the temptation of his peaceful face was just too much. She lifted the covers and slid in as quietly and as gently as possible. Once her head hit the pillow she waited, taking deep breathes, gathering the courage to close her eyes.

Sarah was almost asleep with she felt his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him. In her half asleep state Sarah turned towards him, his cheek chuckle barely registering in her mind. She rested her head on his arm, unaware that the hand of that arm played with her hair. His other hand rested on her hip.

Jareth smiled as her eyes drooped, yet she was still afraid to fully close them- another thing that she could thank him for. "Shh…" He whispered, kissing her forehead. "You're safe, sweet Sarah, always with me, you are safe." His voice held tenderness, as well as a spell weaved intricately into each syllable. He watched as her eyes widened in surprise then fell slowly until they were completely closed. Within seconds Sarah Harris, formerly known as Sarah Williams, was asleep.

She swirled, dancing. Her steps were smooth and steady, like the arms that held her. She kept her eyes closed, afraid that if she opened them it would all melt away, and 'They' would return for her.

"Open your beautiful eyes, Sarah." His voice was like velvet. She opened her eyes, gazing into his mismatched ones.

"You saved me." She whispered. The Goblin King of her dreams smiled. He was kind, loving, but still aggressive, hard. He was everything he should be, he was everything she wanted him to be.

"You had only to ask me." He whispered, spinning her around the room. She matched his steps easily, moving with him, as though she were a part of him.

"But you were so cruel before."

Jareth strengthened the spell he had on her dreams.

Sarah shook her head. "What did I just say?" She asked quietly, and then focused on him dancing with her, his body, his movements. Where his hands touched her burned, she yearned for him, every fiber of her being called for him.

Jareth smiled charmingly down at her once more. Then, he was singing to her.

"I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you valentine evenings
though were strangers till now
were choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars…"

Sarah was entranced. She knew that she was dreaming, but if her dreams continued to be this sweet, this safe, would she really want to go back?

Jareth watched her smile softly in her sleep, knowing what she was seeing, for he was the cause of all that she felt, that she saw. He moved his hand up her arm, onto her shoulder, smiling himself. "So beautiful, so frail," He put his hand on her chest, feeling her heart beat. "Such a strong heart." He whispered. He then ran his hand over her breasts, then over her firm thigh once more. "And you're already mine Sarah," He smirked as she moaned in her sleep, his Fae presence as well as his touched arousing her.

He smiled once more, leaning towards her, kissing her cheek, her nose, and then her lips. "You just haven't realized it yet." Jareth whispered against her mouth before he softly kissed her once more.
