Okay, I was taking a break from the Hunger series when this little story came to mind. It's only the beginning and will be more if I get a good enough response from this posting. It's only two chapters but I hope it's enough to catch everyone's attention. Disclaimer: As always I do not own anything of the Labyrinth nor its characters. The story line though I will take credit for and any added characters that I decide to make up. Again comments, comments, I need your reviews. So here for your reading enjoyment I give you the beginning of hopefully another successful fic.
Things Change
Chapter 1
Laughter filled her ears as her and her friends all packed within the car to go to Terry's house. Sarah had reluctantly been volunteered as driver as she watched the last of the small group of three shove their way into her small silver buggy. Two years ago she would never have imagined that she would see the day when her stepmother actually agreed to buy her a car. It was her first car and she loved the little thing.
Jenny looked through her CD case quickly shoving in one of her favorite CD's. The music blared through the speakers of her car as Britney Spears played loudly the base shaking the rearview mirror with its vibrations.
Sarah reached over turning it down slightly. Blare, Jenny, and Terry moaned, "Ah, Sarah!"
Sarah grinned, "What? It's loud enough!"
Terry shook her blond head, "Girl you have got to loosen up!"
Blare laughed as she placed her slightly large frame between the driver and passenger seat from the back, "Yeah, I mean really Sarah your not going to be all miss goody, goody tonight."
Sarah frowned as she turned another corner, "I'm not all goody, goody! I did lie to my parents about Terry's parents being at the house didn't I?"
Jenny, who was lounging in the back smacking her bubble gum added, "Oh, please Sarah who doesn't lie to their parents?"
Terry looked back, "Hey, lets not start we're going to hang at my house eat, drink, play games, and stay up all night long." Quickly turning back towards the front she turned towards Sarah, who was concentrating on driving, "You are going to have fun tonight even if we have to force it on ya."
Sarah rolled her eyes at her friends, not sure why they had invited her in the first place. It wasn't like they really got her anyway, actually no one did. "I'm going to have fun! Oh Jenny is David still coming over?"
Jenny sulked in the backseat, as her boyfriend was mentioned her hands lacing through her long curly black hair, "Ug, you had to bring him up!"
Sarah frowned, "What did I say?"
Blare filled her in, "He dumped her two days ago, I thought I told you about it."
After two hours of watching television, munching on junk food, and cracking jokes about the show they were watching, Terry smiled smugly as she shot up from the dark gray couch and ran out of the room. The rest of the group looked questionably to one another not knowing what that was all about.
Sarah dragged out the playing cards as they all gathered in the middle of the living room ready to start playing a game. Shuffling the deck she looked over her shoulder towards where Terry had fled to and yelled out, "Terry come on we're waiting on you!"
Quickly running back into the living room Terry sat unceremoniously on the floor in front of Sarah. Sarah frowned at what she saw in Terry's hand, it was a bottle of some kind of alcohol.
Terry smiled warmly at her friends, "Let's put some spice to the game shall we. When ever someone loses they have to take a swig of this."
Blare and Jenny grinned evilly at each other while Sarah looked a little reluctant, "What is that?"
"This my friend is tequila. We're going to be so drunk!" Terry informed Sarah.
Sarah shook her head, "I don't know. I've never drank before."
Blare blanched, "Your eighteen and never drank. You have got to be kidding me."
Jenny laughed, "Hello, your talking to miss goody, goody over here!"
Sarah glared at Jenny, she hated it when she called her that, "I am not! Fine, let's do this."
Terry and the others giggled, Sarah soon joining, what bad could really come by trying. They were at Terry's house and weren't going anywhere it couldn't hurt any could it?
The night went on as the girls had stopped playing the card game and were still sharing the now almost empty bottle as they talked slurred nonsense to each other.
Jenny stood up in her blue pajamas trying to walk towards the bathroom when she tripped and fell on her butt. Her vision blurred and her head dizzy she flopped back deciding that the floor was a perfect bed and shut her eyes.
Blare got up after her tapping the unconscious Jenny with her foot, "I's thinks she's a gon…er. Can't hold her liq…liq…stuff!" she finished as she stumbled back to Sarah and Terry.
Sarah couldn't help but laugh at everything, it just was all so funny for some reason. There was two of everyone and then they would join together in a blur when she blinked her eyes.
Terry watched as Sarah swayed slightly back and forth starting to sway with her as she watched her, "Sss…Sarah, stop move…ing your making me sea sick!"
Blare blinked watching Sarah stifle a giggle as she pointed towards her with her other hand covering her mouth. Blinking once again she saw the ceiling followed quickly by her eyelids. She was definitely gone at that point into the deep abyss of sleep.
Terry sluggishly looked over at Blare passed out on the floor beside her, "Oh, they're no fun! I guess…it…its you an me Sar…"
Sarah tried to get up but stumble back on the floor, "I think…" she swallowed hard, "I'm drunk."
Terry leaned over pulling Sarah's purse towards her, "Ya know, I's think you right. I think I right too. Um…did that come out right?"
Sarah shook her head, "I don know, what did you say?" she answered as she started to lower herself onto the floor.
Terry giggled as she rummaged through Sarah's purse, "SO…what's in the bag!" With a hiccup she pulled out a small red leather bound book and tried to read the title, "La by rynth th, Sarah only you would have this in your purse."
Sarah's arm at this point was over her eyes as she felt as if the room were spinning not really hearing Terry trying to pronounce Labyrinth. "Hmm," she mumbled.
Terry looked through the pages, "You have no power over…me," she read aloud her eyes blurring as it seemed that some other words were starting to form on the pages, "Woah now I's know I err drunk."
Sarah looked up seeing the familiar book in her friend's hand she tried to get up to grab the book but fell back down. The sight of the book was starting to sober her up a little.
Terry squinted her eyes at the new words, "I wish…he, he. Sarah you'll love this. It sounds just like ya. I wish that the Goblin King would come and take Sarah away…" Terry paused as she heard Sarah's loud intake of air and smiled down at a paled face Sarah, "Right now!"
Sarah rolled over onto her stomach trying to get up off the floor, "Shit!" escaped her lips just before the lights went out.
Chapter 2:
The room now pitch dark Sarah's heart sank into the pit of her stomach as she was starting to feel quite nauseous. The flash of lightning from outside let her see Terry shakily standing up looking around the room just before thunder roared vibrating the house.
Terry swallowed as she saw that the lights had gone out but then giggled, "Ewe, Its dark! Spooky!"
The howling wind outside the living room window drew Sarah's eyes towards the window a feeling a dèja-vu sweeping through her. "Terry, I can't believe you did that!" she screeched as her heart was still racing with a growing sense of dread.
Terry stumbled to where she thought Sarah was and ended up plowing into her as they were both thrown to the floor, "What'd I do?"
Sarah quickly looked around as she heard something scurry past her, that sound was something that had given her nightmares since she came back from her ordeal through the labyrinth. Trying to push Terry off her she tried to stand her eyes quickly glancing at the window as she heard the all too familiar tapping noise.
Terry grimaced as she was roughly pushed off Sarah, "Hey! You girl are being way too pushy."
Sarah looked with worry to her drunk friend, for some reason she wasn't as drunk anymore as she was only moments ago, "You said the words."
Stumbling towards the window where she saw a white owl banging against the window she narrowed her eyes at the animal, "Looky, I think he wants in!"
Eyes widening she leaped towards Terry as she was trying to open the window pulling her away before she could do so, "Are you crazy?" she seethed pulling her away from the window.
Banging noise behind her made her jerk her gaze away from the window towards the barely visible living room where she could scarcely make out some small creatures scurrying about the room.
Terry looked to Sarah, "The lights just went out don't be such a woos."
A cold blast of air as the window was busted open forced both girls to look towards the window. Terry flinched falling back on her butt as her eyes watched a man appear from out of no where. She unconsciously licked her lips at the very strange yet appealing outfit that he was wearing. His blond hair cascaded past his shoulders, wearing a dark midnight blue shirt and vest, a tight pair of matching pants and flowing cape, she was shocked to see some stranger in her living room.
Sarah swallowed hard yet again as she watched Jareth enter the room, he was still the same handsome, powerful, and scary Fae she remembered. She reached over and pinched her arm praying that she would wake up. The sting to her arm drowned out that hope.
Terry tried to stand up but failed her limbs too numb to keep balance, "Who?"
With a cruel grin he looked to the intoxicated Terry with amusement, "Come, come Terry, you did summon me?" he stated smugly.
Terry was confused and looked to Sarah, whom she noted looked very pale and stunned, "Pst, Sarah he knows my name. Do ya know who that is?"
Sarah's eyes were fixed on Jareth fear overriding her ability to move and flee, "Jareth! The Goblin King!" she mumbled silently.
A sound of laughter filled the room making Terry look back in surprise but could see nothing. Looking back towards the very good-looking stranger she watched as he approached them both.
Jareth looked to Sarah smugly, "I see that you remember me."
Sarah was visibly trembling telling Terry that this guy was scaring her friend. Pointing a finger at the stranger she stepped between them, "Hey, I don't care who ya think ya are but she's not interested buddy! Keep your distance!"
Jareth looked to the young girl not at all put out by her mannerism towards him. With a flourish of his wrist a crystal appeared as he allowed it to dance about within his hands. Mesmerizing her to her spot.
Terry found her eyes fixed on the crystal fascinated by the way it danced about within the man's hands, "What?"
Sarah's body snapped into action as she saw the crystal appear and pulled her and Terry away from the Goblin King, "Stay away from us. You have no power over me!"
The dancing of the crystal stopped as he looked hard towards Sarah, "Are you so sure Sarah? Your friend after all did say the words. You belong to me now."
Sarah felt enraged at this point, "I belong to no one Jareth. I defeated you once I can do it again."
Jareth smiled amused, "That was then my dear this is now. Be warned Sarah, don't defy me!"
Without warning Terry burst out in giggles cause both Sarah and Jareth to look her way. She covered her mouth as she tried to stifle more giggles and leaned into Sarah trying to whisper in her ear, "I'm sorry Sar…it's just…check out that bulge can you imagine what he would be like in the sack?"
Sarah's cheeks reddened, as she felt hot all over in embarrassment. What was meant to be a whisper, came out loud and clear throughout the room. Unconsciously her eyes traveled to just where her friend was referring to and she quickly looked away. She cursed herself not believing what she had just done that and praying that Jareth did not notice.
Jareth watched with amusement as Sarah's eyes looked him over and then quickly pulled away. Crystal in hand he tossed it towards Terry who dropped the almost empty bottle of tequila and caught it. She passed out as soon as her fingers touched the object, it disappeared just as her eyes shut her body crumbling to the floor.
Sarah rushed down to her friend, "Terry!" she shook her but her friend would not wake up.
Leaning over Sarah he commented in her ear, "She'll wake up tomorrow with no memory of tonight."
Sarah jumped at the sudden closeness, whirling around to glare at the Goblin King. Her breath caught in her throat as she noticed just how close he was to her. The words that were about to escape her lips were lost to her as she felt the sudden effects of the alcohol she consumed added with the fear and adrenaline from the occurrences of the night.
Jareth caught her before she could stumble back grasping her arms firmly as he pulled her to his chest. He watched her closely as her eyes widened from the contact her heart pounding against his chest. Jareth smiled smugly at the child now woman that had defeated and denied him so long ago.
She couldn't believe what was happening, not only did her best friend wish her away to the Goblin King she had no means of escape. No one to fight for her freedom as he had so manipulatively put Terry to sleep. She should be seething with anger and yet her mind was currently filled with the knowledge that she was fully plastered along Jareth's length. Her heart felt as if it would leap from her chest, it felt so hard to concentrate at the moment.
Sarah looked to her hand that was placed flatly against his chest and felt suddenly lightheaded. She quickly pulled her hand away trying to free herself from his grasp, "Let go!" she whispered.
He waited patiently for her to look up into his eyes and was soon rewarded after her plea. Finally after all the years of waiting, she was his for the taking, "Never!"
Sarah visibly shook as she felt the world around her shimmer and she was now in a strange room. Whether his words frightened or excited her were a mystery within itself as she suddenly felt her world tumbling down around her. No longer able to take any more her eyes closed as darkness consumed her consciousness.
