On the top of hill overlooking the barren wasteland, alone figure stood out from the rest. His eyes shone with a cruelity only known to that of fae lord. His wild untamed hair whipped across his face as the wind swept by. His angular face held wisdom. His outstreched arm raised to the moon, and he produced a small dreamlike crystal.

"Show her to me." His voice purred in a beautiful British accent.
Instantaniously the crystal produced a picture of a figure. She was a tall women with flowing brown hair and hazel green eyes. He laughed cruelly.
"You have no power over me eh?"
His thin lips sneered. "Revenge will find her" he smilled sadly at the thought; to waste such magic on such a weak mortal.
In the crystal, the vision of the young women changed dramatically to show a large dagger held over her chest. The knife cut air as it plunged down and seered her heart in an endless evil.
Through danger untold, in hardships unnumbered, she fought her way to the castle beyond the goblin city. To take back the child in which he had stolen. For her will was as strong as his and her kingdom as great , he had no power over her. But by beating the goblin king, she sacrificed herself to the darkness of the Labyrinth. For every soul who has conquered it has been destroyed. Because that is what the Labyrinth does, it feeds off of the imagination of young mortals. For it needs to thrive in the depth of souls. That is its curse and that is its power.

The Dark Labyrinth

The women in the crystal was Sarah Williams, the young girl who had conquered the Labyrinth.She scremaed bloody murder as the knife plunged into her heart. A wash of pure hatred swept over her. Her once hazel eyes now shone an iridescint red, and her lovely chestnut locks turned a deadly black.A throaty laugh erupted from her chest, she smiled showing off twin fangs.
Jareth appeared before her,"Welcome to the afterlife."
* * * * *
Another day, another soul. Jareth sighed as he watched the shining crystal that contained her soul float away to the labyrinth.Now she was his . A zombie, a slave, a lover. It didn't matter to Jareth what he called it. She was his.
The thrill of conquering an innocent heart sent chills up his spine. He could almost taste her inocence.Or, for that matter, what was her innocence. Now she was pure evil.
He tapped his foot leisurly with his riding crop, and rubbed his temples.
An attractive young women glided over to him,"Shall I massage you back?" She purred, her long red hair curled around her pointed ears.
Jareth's eyes glinted with mischeif."yes,yes."
The women smiled.She had made her master happy. Her long fingers worked around his neck and his shoulder blades. Jareth groaned.
"Send the new one to me."
The women pouted and glided away,to lounge about the room with the others.
Sarah timidly walked forward,"What do you ask of me master?"
Jareth smiled cruely. The new ones were always so willing, and this one, made him feel so young again. "Rub my neck."He growled.
She came up behind his throne and rub in small circles at the back of his spine. Her touch was electrifying, and sent a warm rush down his back.
Jareth closed his eyes and gave in to her touch. Her long fingers, her sharp nails scratching as she massaged.
Nasty whispers could be heard floating about the room as the other women watched with envy as Sarah became his new favourite girl.
Jareth chuckled with amuesment at the other women's envy. He had so many women, he couldn't even remember all there names. Just his favourites. But he had so many favourites. And his favourite part, was when he got to break there spirit. Jareth always loved a challenge, and Sarah Williams had given him that. If she would've taken the crystal when he offerd it to her, it would've been to easy.
But she didn't. She actually challenged him. Him ,the goblin king! The thought still made him laugh.
"To think, she actually thought she had won."
No one wins against the Labyrinth. Once it finds you, there's NO way to win. Jareth thought back to when the Labyrinth found him. A stranded young fae boy who's parents had left him in sacrifice in return for there own souls. Jareth clenched his fist in rage and struck the closest girl. She cried out in pain and ran out of the room. The other women cackled cruelly.
"ENOUGH!" Jareth screamed as his eyes burned with rage,"leave! All of you!" He pointed to the door.
The women fell silent and glided slowly out the door and down the hall to there chambers. Sarah quickly left his side and headed to the doors.
"You," he said cruely,"you stay here!" Suddenly the doors slammed closed and Sarah jumped back with fright, Jareth chuckled.She spun around and gave him a puzzled look.
"I must give you a welcome present."he said as he took off his gloves.
Sarah's eyes staryed away from his gaze. He laughed arrogantly.
* * * * *
Behind the closed door the women crowed around,listening in. Sarah's scremas could be heard across the Labyrinth as Jareth, "welcomed" her.
