Sarah layed silently in her bed. Her fingers traceing Jareth's pendent absent-mindedly. She'd been in Rosswell for a few days and Liz's friends where nice to her and everything, but their was something about Max, Isabel, Micheal, and Tess that Sarah felt was a little off. She didn't know what it was exactly, she just sensed it when she was near them. Their was also that disstrusting look she caught Micheal giveing her whenever he thought she wasn't looking.
But even in the mists of these thoughts and of school, Sarah found she couldn't take her mind of Toby, the Labyrinth and esspecialy its king. They filled her wakeing and sleeping momments. Their was a little escape when she was awake, but when she slept she found she couldn't escape the memorise that rushed to her.
She awoke in the mornings feeling unrested and weak. When Liz said anything she tried to smile and act as though she didn't know what she was talking about.
This night was no exception for Sarah. As she layed down on the welcomeing, soft bed and shut her eyes in hope of a dreamless sleep, she fell back into the voide she couldn't escape.
She stood in the Escher room. Only it seemed more cold and unforgiveing then before. She looked around, quickly becomeing dizzy as she did so. The many twisting turning stairways surrounded her going in every directon.
["You are cruel, Sarah."]
Sarah flinched as she heard the voice she longed to forget echoing out around her.
["We are well matched you and I."]
"I need your cruelty, just as you need mine."she finnished the words, in a low voice.
"Yes. Its so good of you to rember, Sarah. Tell me, my Sarah, how much longer do you think you can run?"Sarah wirled around to see Jareth beyound her seemingly standing on a vertical wall.
Swallowing hard she respounded lowly,"As long as I have to."
He grinned slightly as he began to walk all over the twisting turning walls. Up and down the stairs. Underwalls and dening all laws of physics. Sarah followed him wordlessly with her eyes,"You can not escape me Sarah."
"I can, and I will."she said softly, relizeing at that momment she'd fallen for the same trick once more, for she now didn't know which way was up and which way was down. Whether where she stood was a voide ready to collapse, or if she herself was upside-down.
He shock his head, almost pittyingly."You've learned nothing."Sarah jerked around as she felt his warm breath tickle her neck.
"I wouldn't say that."she paused then said,"This is only a dream, Jareth. You can't harm me here. So, just leave me alone!"
He smiled, but it wasn't a true smile. It held no laughter, no kindness. It was cold and mocking,"Are you so sure this is a dream?"
He grabbed her wrists roughly and brought himself close to her. She stumbled back into a wall."Does this feel like a dream?"he taughted."I'll never leave you alone Sarah, your mine, now and for all eternety."
Sarah stared up at him, her hazel eyes wide with fear. She couldn't escape him. She couldn't fight him. Their was no escape............
"BRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!"
Sarah awoke in a cold sweat as she slapped the alarm clock. Slowly she sat up. Her body trembling as she did so.
"Just a dream..it wasn't real.."she said huskly.
Then she noticed it. On her wrists their where light red marks, as though someone had grabed them roughly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*At The Center Of The Goblin City~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jareth, king of the Goblins and who rained over all the Labyrinth, snarled as he stared at the trembleing raven haired, 15 year old girl in his crystal. She was so sure she could escape, when would she learn that she was his and no outher. It wasn't that he loved her still, becouse he most deffently was NOT in love with her. It was just...that she lost the game and she agreed to the terms of the game, she was his. His SLAVE!
He was NOT still in love with her. Besides the Goblin King dose not offer his love to the same selfish mortal girl twice. When he had returned to Sarah's home the night after his last 'viset' he'd seen red as he relized her music box was gone, along with her clotheing and the book of the Labyrinth.
She'd dared to defey him once more, and Jarth swore that as soon as she was back in the Underground she would really pay! But untill then, he'd deccided to torment her a little with her dreams. He knew where she was. Rosswell, it wasn't that hard to find out.
From the momment she'd forst etered his Labyrinth he'd marked her with his magic. He'd be able to find her no matter where she'd go.
Though there was some amusment in watching her trying to run from him. Besides, there little game wouldn't be any fun if she gave up so easily. For he did enjoy the hunt.
Slowly Jareth stood up, his missmatched eyes survaving the room untill they landed on his prisoners. Ludo, Hoggle, and Sir Ditymos. The three had managed to escape his grasp but now that he had them all it was time to have a little fun before he payed Sarah his suprise visite.
Jareth stalked steadly infront of them, his own Goblins restraining them,"What do you all have to say for yourselves?"He asked coldly.
Supriseingly it was Hoggle who spoke first,"Say? We've nothing to say. We helped Sarah, and we's would do its agine ifs we hads to. We's won'ts betray her."
Jareth glared blackly at him,"Yet you betray me, your king! Hedgewart-"
"My names Hoggle."he said, his intrupption awarding him a 'I-am-going-to-kill-you' look from Jareth, needless to say, Hoggle backed up a little.
"I am your King, and yet you betray me over some selfish mortal girl from above ground!"
Sir Ditymos threw back his head in anger at hearing his fair ladyt talked of in such a manner,"How dare you, sir! Her Lady Sarah is a noble and fair damsel! She is the most unselfish damsel I have ever meet! You on the outher hand are the foul selfish and cruel villen! You-"
Sir Ditymos was cut off as Jareth flicked his wrist, turning Sir Ditymos mute. Shocked the small fox opened and re-opened his mouth trying to speak only was unable, so he settled for a hard glare at the fae he used to serve so loyaly.
Jareth smirked suddenly,"Your punishments for your offence shall not be to be killed, instead you will be suspended over the Bog Of Eternal Stench and droped. After that you each shall be put in different parts of the Forest Of Fears."
With that Jareth flicked his wrist and the three where gone without so much as a gasp. His smirk disspearing he remade a perfect crystal ball in his hand, a young girl of 15 with long black hair and chocolate brown eyes appeared withen.
"You will pay for running, Sarah...you will pay"he murmered darkly at her image. Both a threat, and a promise.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sarah barely contained a small jerk as she thought she heard a voice. A very fammiler voice in the back of her mind.
"Somethin' wrong, Willioms?"
Sarah jerked up her head in alarm, her face relaxing slightly as she noticed it was just Micheal.
Liz and Maria had gone out of town for the morning, they'd offered to take Sarah with them but she had declined. Saying she wanted to stay home and read a little. Maybe go to the park or something. Reading had always been fun for her, but in truth she wanted to spend a little time by herself for the day. Besides Maria and Liz kept on giveing her weird looks sometimes. Sarah couldn't help but think she was being left out on something. That their was something about her cusions and her friends that they weren't telling her.
Sarah forced a small smile,"I'm fine, Micheal, just thinking."
He slid into the booth next to her,"About what?"
Sarah's eyes and face became distant when he said that, snaping back though in a gaurded form,"Nothing. Just... just the past. Nothing for you to be concerned about. Hey, you wanna go for a walk or something?"she asked quickly to change the subject.
Micheal narrowed his eyes slightly at her. She knew then that he knew she was hideing something. Something she didn't want him to know about. People had secrets, hell he himself was a secret, but their was something about the way she had changed the subject so quickly.
Micheal nodded slowly,"Sure."he answered, hopeing that dureing this 'walk' he'd find out some more about the mysterouse Sarah Willioms.
As she stood her book fell. Curseing under her breath she leaned to pick it up, only Micheal had leaned down also. As she touch the book their fingers meet. Electricty shot through every fiber of her being. Sighns. She saw sighs......a desert.....the stars........a boy...naked...running....anouther boy...and a girl....the boy had black hair as dark as a ravens wing......the girl short blound hair....the stars.......Anouther World......emotion.....fear......triumph..
anouther boy......this one older....short spiked sandy brown hair....dark eyes.....cold heartless eyes.....vengful eyes.
Just as quickly as it happened she was back, kneeling on the ground, with Micheal giveing her a strange look and shacking her slightly.
"Whats wrong?? What just happened?"his voice was urgent.
Shaking her head slightly Sarah, shrugged his hands off her shoulders and stood up grabing her book from the ground as she did so."Nothing...i'm just tired....I haven't been getting much sleep lately.....thats all."Though her eyes showed no emotion; suspesion had already clouded Sarah's mind about the seemingly normal guy that stood before her.
Micheal, slightly worride and even more suspeciouse about her nodded slightly,"Oh....well lets get on with that walk.
They began to walk quickly. Nether saying a word untill Sarah stoped abruptly. Her book falling from her numb fingers. The hairs on the back of her neck prickled up. Her heart thuded in her ears. The pendent around her neck suddenly felt as cold as ice. She touched the chain slightly only to jerk away from it.
"Somethings wrong."she muttered.
She leaned down quickly and grabed the book from the concreat and toke off in a full scale run. Behind her she could hear Micheal's shouts for her to stood, but she paid them no head. Once she made it to the forway, she was frightened ast what she saw.
Cars in the middle of the streat where everywhere but compleatly empty. No birds chirped, no voices humed the air. Everyone had vanished...
A.N.-O.k. how was that? I'm trying to keep up with the orignal ep. of that but i'm haveing a hard time since I don't have that ep. on tape and it was aired so long ago....but i'm trying!^_^_^_^I'll have the next chapter out soon^_^ All the real good stuff starts in the next chapter *grins evily*
