I guess I have to put the normal blah-blah-blah, so here it goes. I don't own anything.

Chapter 13: A Surprising Turn of Events

Sarah knew she was dreaming, nothing seemed to make sense. She saw her mother in a white dress. They were in a field of flowers, everything seemed perfect.

Sarah walked up to her, "Mom, is that you?"

"Beware the rich one."

"What? What do you mean? Beware the rich one?" Just as she said that, the ground cracked and crumbled underneath her feet.

Sarah fell into a pit, it was dark and reminded her of the oubliette. She couldn't move, something was keeping her knees pinned to the ground.

Finally, after what felt like forever, she heard footsteps coming towards her. She knew who it was, Hades.

"Sarah, how little you know about yourself, you were born to rule beside me."

"What makes you say that?"

"Your blood line was made to rule this world alongside me, you are the reincarnation of Persephone."

"Wh-what? I don't believe you!"

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter, this world belongs to you as well as me."

"What happened to Persephone?"

"She died at the fall of Zeus, all of the other gods did, except me. No one can kill the god of death." Suddenly the room was lit, Sarah, was almost blinded by the sudden light.

"Now, how about a dance?" Music filled the room, a slow waltz that mystified and clouded Sarah's mind. She hardly noticed Hades taking her by the waste and started dancing.

They just danced in place for awhile rocking in time with the music, Hades made the first motion of dancing around the room. He took a step and Sarah followed, he took another step and again Sarah followed. Soon they were dancing around the room. Sarah was hardly aware of what she was doing, until she felt magic swirl around her body. She snapped out of the spell he had her under, to notice that he had changed her clothes. She was wearing a much more elaborate version of the outfit that he had her in when they were in the throne room.

"Leave me alone! I love Jareth, not you!"

To say that Hades was shocked at the outburst would have been an understatement. There was no way that this was the reincarnation of Persephone.

Persephone succumbed to the seduction of the underworld, the pomegranate was just a icing on the cake to keep her here. Persephone was feeble minded, like a sheep, she would follow the latest fad. He recalled all the talk of the latest fashion, and who was the most worshiped, and who deserved what they had the least. She was a gossip, needing to know everything about everybody.

He started to analyze Sarah's actions again, she wasn't the gossip queen, it was her friend. She liked her own fashion, and rarely seemed to judge others.

This wasn't Persephone, Sarah was better!

"Sarah's mother is dead?"

"Not exactly." Sesame went on to explain before Jareth could interrupt her. "Her mother made a deal with Hades, she wanted fame, so he would give it to her, for a while. When her time was up, she would be his servant. So, she is even better than a dead person, she lives in the castle herself!"

"How do you know all of this?" Jareth asked amazed.

"I make it my business to know. We just need to get to her, to have her invite us in."

"I see a major flaw with your plan now. How are we supposed to get to her?"
"We get another person to invite us into the underworld outside of the castle, and then get her to invite us in to the castle."

"Ok, I am just going to let you handle the transportation part of it, I'll help with the fighting."

Sesame giggled.

"What?" Jareth asked.

"You sound like a knight in shining armor. But we are wasting time right now, so lets go!" She transported them to the gate leading to the underworld.

To their horror, it was heavily guarded by some of Hades most loyal subjects.
