Disclaimer: K, this is the last chapter and I have the sneaking suspicion that not many people will like this ending, cos I don't really like it. But this is the way that I know it should go so this is the way I'm writing it. Doesn't make sense but hey when do I ever? And THANK YOU FEUER for all the help that you have given me through out this, even tho I didn't use all of your ideas fankoo hun.
Electra quietly stepped out of her room. Jareth's threats didn't scare her anymore, because of the sole fact that they were nothing more than threats. He wouldn't notice she was out of her chamber, he had taken to sleeping in the witch. She wasn't happy about it, but what could she do? Jareth wasn't even speaking to her anymore. He had taken to speaking about her, but not to her. He refused to speak, look or touch her until the spell was reversed.
The thought of reversing the spell had crossed her mind, but only for a split second. She wanted Jareth to suffer, to have what he wanted within arms reach but not being able to have it. That was how she had felt since that witch arrived. God how she hated him! All he had to do was kill the bitch, not make her a guest in his castle. But no, he had to go and fall in love.
"He should be mine!" A thought suddenly occurred to her. "I'll make him mine. If I can make her love him, I can make him love me." It was so simple it was brilliant. Why had she never thought of it before? He would be hers whether he wanted to be or not.
Tenderly she fingered the chain that she wore around her neck. She had given Jareth the chain it was to be a wedding present, until Sarah came into their lives. "We will be married my love. Sarah will die, you can count on that."
Taking her time, Electra wondered around the rest of the castle. She was searching for the one ingredient in her potion that would consolidate her power over him. But what could be that powerful to give her complete control? The chain alone was not enough, she needed something more, a kiss. She needed Jareth to kiss her, but he would never do that, not until the spell on Sarah was reversed. And she wouldn't do it, ever. Especially not when she saw Jareth and Sarah together in the main chamber. It was enough to make her physically sick.
"Do you want anything else my dear?"
"Can I peel that grape for you?"
"Can I, Can I, Can I."
He was making a fool of himself, over a mortal. Enough was enough. She wanted to take the sword by his side and ram it through Sarah's chest. She wanted to die, rather than watch him fall all over himself over Sarah. But most of all she wanted Sarah to die.
Stepping from out of the shadow, Electra presented herself to her King. "My lord."
"What do you want Electra?" He was still angry with her.
"I have come to tell you that the spell has been transformed. Sarah is able to love you now…..unconditionally." She looked pitiful, trying her hardest to convince him. Just one little kiss, one kiss.
"I don't believe you!"
"My lord, I realised the error of my behaviour and sought to rectify the situation." She moved closer to the now standing king. "You know that I can't disobey you for long."
"Oh you can. But you can't do without my charm, my love, my body." With each word he moved closer to Electra until he was standing right up against her. "Why should I trust you Electra. When you have done nothing but defy me until now?"
"I told you."
"You told me shit." He grabbed her shoulders. "Why Electra?"
"Because, I want to obey you as best I can."
"You're a liar." He pushed her away, speaking to Sarah. "Come me love. I believe the bed chamber is calling."
"Oh, I thought you would never hear." With a giggle, Sarah stood. "To the bedchamber."
Electra broke down into tears. How long would this take? "I tell you the truth my lord. The spell has been changed. I wear your chain to prove it. Place it on her and the spell is broken. She will love you in every possible way." Electra held out the chain. "All you have to do is put it on her."
"Thank you Electra."
Taking the chain, Jareth placed it around Sarah's neck. "It's beautiful."
"As are you." Jareth bent down and kissed her. Suddenly Sarah doubled over in pain. Jareth whirled on Electra, who had a smile on her face. "It is done."
"Stop this. Stop this now!!!"
"NEVER!"
Sarah fell to the floor in pain. "Jareth! Help….me!" Her breath coming in short gasps. He was by her side in a flash. "It's okay Sarah. Just hold on."
"She's dying Jareth and nothing can stop it. Not you, not me. I was meant to rule with you, not her."
"You will never rule this land. NEVER!" Drawing his sword, Jareth spun on her yet again. Thrusting the blade deep into her flesh. "I warned you Electra." Wit ha final, brutal push, the blade slipped out through her back. "Jareth!" She whispered as she fell to the floor, bathed in a pool of blood.
Jareth was once again at Sarah's side. "Don't die!"
"I have to…..Jareth. Don't you see? ARGH!" Sarah screamed out in pain.
"I love you."
"You ha…..have no power over me."
With a final sharp, intake of breath, Sarah found herself at the bottom of the stair in her house. She was home. The pain was gone and so was Jareth. "Toby." She whispered.
Running up the stairs, Sarah found the baby lying in bed fast asleep.
