Chapter One: Back to the Labyrinth
Jareth had appeared in the cabin basement with nothing more than a flash of light. No glitter or feathers, no fancy costumes, music, goblins, speeches- and yet it was just enough. When he appeared Jareth ended up against the wall that Sarah had been chained too, facing the men. Already the man had come down with the knife but the flash had shocked him into nearly tumbling back, the knife coming down but missing Sarah's chest completely as it stabbed into her side a few inches below the ribs. A searing flash of pain filled Sarah's body, a cry of pure pain ripping out of her throat.
At first the fae man had not known what was happening, but the sight of the men and the battered woman on the floor quickly registered in his mind. Without thought Jareth swung his palm up in front of him, sending a shockwave of magic energy spiraling out at the men. The energy had been more then enough to throw the group back against the concrete wall- causing them to howl out in pain. The deadly magic created out of Jareth's anger raced into the systems of Sarah's captors, burning them from their insides out. It was nothing of a pleasant death to the five beings, and the magic left nothing of the bodies behind.
Looking down at the woman, Jareth's skin tone dropped into a deathly while shade. It wasn't just anyone there on the floor crying in pain, it was Sarah. It was his Sarah. Quickly the same Goblin King who seemed to always behind a mask of non-caring fell down to his knees, his mismatched gaze crawling over Sarah's batered and bleeding body..
"Sarah.." his voiced was choked on emotion and he made no effort to hide the fact, as for no one was anywhere near.
Jareth had learned a bit in healing when growing up, but he knew it wouldn't be enough to save Sarah. He had to get her back to the Labyrinth, and quickly- before she died. Carefully and gracefully he slipped his arms under Sarah and lifted her to him protectively. With a curse from Jareth the two disappeared from their place in the Aboveground. Time was running very, very short, and he knew it.

Authors Note: Alrighty, I know this was a pretty short chapter one, but I was going to die if I didn't get this part out of the way- plus, I just had to give you guys all a lovely cliffhanger! Will Sarah die or live. IF she lives what will happen? How will she react to Jareth? So, so many questions. Bwahaha, and all will be told- later. Remember, I don't own any rights to Labyrinth, so dun hurt me. PLEASE REVIEW!
