Sarah watched the whole thing from the mirror that was hung in the cell she was locked inside. Noo Jareth, don't listen to her. I would have said yes!
'Its useless dearie, he can't hear you. No-one will ever hear from you again.'
'Why! Why would you want to do such a thing? Just let me go and I promise no harm will come to you'
'No harm will come to me? You should have thought about that before, and then we wouldn't be in this situation now, would we? Oh, Never mind you are too blind to see the hurt that you have caused me.'
'Harm? Hurt? I don't even know you'
'Well you should know me! I was the future Queen of the Goblin City, not you! You stole it, you stole it all!'
'I didn't steal anything!'
'Haha I love how completely innocent you are trying to be. You are far from being the innocent little girl you claim to be, I see what you are doing. I have watched everything! Jareth was supposed to marry me! not you, you should have stayed at home. You should have stayed away. And now, now you all have to pay!'
'Who are you?'
'Silly little girl. I am Katia, Princess of the Underground.'
'Princess?'
'Yes Princess of the Underground and it was my royal duty to marry the King of the Goblins, Jareth.'
'He never mentioned you'
'Ha! Foolish little girl. I don't care what you think, after I am done he will hate you and I will be the one there to comfort him after you break his heart and leave him in tatters'
Jareth walked around the gardens, pacing backwards and forwards. What was he to do? Sarah had rejected him. If she doesn't stay permanently or run the Labyrinth then everything would be destroyed...Why did it say in my oath as Goblin King that I would grant any wish?
He couldn't force her to stay and he certainly couldn't force her to run the Labyrinth again. With the Lost King dead his last hope of finding a way to combat the law was lost and he was left heartbroken.
'Oh Sarah' Jareth collapsed on the floor and held his head in his hands.
'Jareth?'
'Sarah? Oh its you' he said as he realised it was Katia. 'What do you want?'
'Me? I want nothing from you. In fact I came to see how you are doing'
'I'm fine'
'Are you sure about that? You don't look fine to me'
'Go away Katia, I'm not in the mood to be questioned. I am fine and that is all you need to know.'
'Well I thought I would at least ask if you are okay, after all I saw the commotion between you and that human'
'Sarah?'
'If that is what she is called then yes, that Sarah girl. In fact now you mention her name I do recall her. She was in the hall of records the other day, looking for a spell that would send her home, I believe she has a human admirer'
'A human admirer? Sarah?'
'Yes, some guy called Jake, if my memory serves me correctly. But then again maybe you should ask Sarah.'
'Jake? It cannot be, I don't believe you'
'Then ask her yourself'
'I shall!'
Jareth left Katia in the gardens, when he was out of sight she smirked. Sowing the seeds of doubt dearie. Sowing the seeds of doubt. Katia stretched and clicked her neck cursing the fact that she had to parade around as being Sarah for a little bit longer than she wanted to.
Knock. Knock. 'Sarah? Are you there? I need to talk to you'
'Go away Jak-Jareth'
'Jak? as in Jake?'
'Jareth leave me alone'
'I won't leave, I need answers'
'Fine. Come in then.'
Jareth entered the room expecting it to still be plastered with 'I hate you' scribbles which appeared to have been washed away. Sarah looked emotionally drained as she sat near the balcony.
'What do you want Jareth?'
'Answers'
'Go on then, ask me'
'Why, why did you do that? (gesturing towards the wall) I don't understand what I have done wrong? and who is this Jake?'
'I did that because I was annoyed and I still am. Everything, you have torn me away from my family, I did my part in saving the Kingdom and now I want to go home. Jake is none of your business'
'Jake has everything to do with me if you love him'
'Of course I love him! Now do the decent thing and send me home' Katia had to time this right because when he wishes Sarah home it will send the real Sarah back home, so she will need to disappear at the same time to not raise suspicion.
'Sarah I wish you home, Goodbye Sarah.'
Katia disappeared in time, Sarah was sent whirling back home and Jareth was left emotionally shattered.
