UNDENIABLE LOVE: Prologue
I can still remember that night. The night that I ventured into the Labyrinth. To retreive the brother that I had 'asked' to be taken away. I realize that know. I realize that it was my doing for Jareth to take my brother away, whether I meant the words or not. He had only abided my wishes. I was such a feeble girl then. Not knowing the difference between love, lust, and my hormones. But I know now that the aching feeling, heat, and vulnerablity that I felt everytime he was near me was love. Not lust or hormones. Though I think hormones had me realizing that he was everything I ever wanted in a guy, or goblin king in this case. He had offered me my dreams, and I had stamped them out like my father and stepmother had all these years. I threw all those wonderful dreams I had just to get back my little brother. I have no complaints. Toby and I have grown close over these past few years. Just imagine if I had taken that offer of my greatest dreams and had let my little Toby be turned into a blue eyes goblin. I would have hated to think back on that. It would have hurted. But I doubt it would have hurted as much as the thought that I can never see the goblin king again. He was so enchanting, seductive. Even now after these past 3 years, I can still smell him, sense him near me. I would give anything to be able to dance with him once more in that wonderful crystal ball room. To be in his arms, so warm and comforted at the thought of him loving me. I can look back now and remember that there was a sense of sadness in his eyes as he stared down at me with such adoration. I couldn't sense it then, but now that I think back to it, it was there.
I would give anything to be with him. But how could he ever love me. I simple girl, with dreams. After all I did to him. I said 'the words' and beat him. I was the only person to ever beat Jareth. I used to take pride on that, but now, all there is, is pity. For myself, for beating the only man I could ever love.

Sarah sat down her pen and read over her journal entry. Sighing lightly, she closed her eyes to fight back the tears that had begun to sting her eyes. Pushing the pen and notebook aside, she folded her arms atop her vanity and rested her head on them, gazing longingly into the mirror. She saw herself and him dancing in the same clothes they had worn at the ball. She wished she was there again. Continuing to stare, she lost herself in the illusion, slowly, and silently falling into a blissfull sleep, their song playing through her mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"SARAH!!!!" Karen yelled from downstairs.
Sarah jolted awake and blinked as she looked around her room. She had fallen asleep at her vanity again. That was the third time that week. Sighing softly, she replied back to her stepmother, "YES?!"
"I'VE MADE PANCAKES! DO YOU WANT ANY?!"
"SURE! I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE!" Sarah yelled back with a small yawn. Sarah and her stepmother had begun to get along after a while. They had grown quite close and she was more of a mother than her real mom.
Stumbling numbly to her dresser, ( I say 'numbly' because if you have ever fallen asleep at your vanity, then you very well know that when you wake up, there is no way in hell that your legs are going to have any feeling to them! ^^) pulling out a pair of shorts and a red tank top, she quickly changed and rushed down the stairs brushing her hair back into a ponytail.
"It's about time!" Karen exclaimed teasingly as she set a stack of pancakes in front of Sarah as she sat down.
Sarah laughed lightly as she began to cut her pancakes. She winced as she bit into the first peice as a ring of alarm went through the whole house. Before long Toby and Merlin came bounding into the kitchen side by side and out of breath.
Toby had grown into a handsome young man, with dirty blonde hair that always loved to fall into his face. And his eyes. Those same pale blue eyes. Sarah figured that's why she loved Toby so much was because he reminded her of something she could have had. Smiling she tousled his hair as they hugged each other. Merlin sat obediantly next to Toby's chair. She had given him to Toby about a year ago. She just didn't have time for a dog anymore.
Smiling, she finished her pancakes and stood up, excusing herself, she grabbed her sandles and went for a walk. As she walked she began to think about the Underground. She did that often now. For some odd reason. Sighing to herself she stopped and looked around. She was in the park.
This is where it all started. Where she used to come and recite from the 'book'. She smiled softly, and decided. Just for the heck of it. She started out, and ran across the bridge and stopped.
"Give me the child" she started, "Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city, to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great!"
She stopped for a moment. A crash of thunder was heard over head. She bit her lip. This seemed very familiar. Just as she was about to finish, the rain started pouring. She gave a gasp of delight, and took off running home. Missing the white owl that was perched on the post.
