A/N: Continued thanks to reviewers who offer support. I hope your
enjoying this. Technically Sarah is 14 in this section. Also there is
usually much disagreement about Sarah's age in the movie. I just looked
this up www.imdb.com Jennifer Connelly was 16 well 15-16 so I am making
Sarah 16 when movie happens. Also I am taking great liberties with movie in
this chapter please forgive me.

Prologue part 5: Jareth's Discovery. Approximately 1 yr later.
Jareth could no longer find join in his work. He no longer held balls or festivals. He no longer tended his gardens.
The one thing Jareth hated the most was the wished children. Not that he ever enjoyed taking unwanted children from their spoiled siblings or parents. He would always find a good home for them among the fae people. But now every child's eyes echoed his eyes, their hair, his hair. He consistently tortured himself seeing the young Elf prince in every child.
Though Jareth was reprieved of his actions he still did not reprieve himself. He needed to get away from the castle awhile he took his owl form he flew over the underground seeing the vast lands and for some strange reason he decided to see how the above ground had changed since he last visited.
Jareth was amazed by the advances this world seemed to have, without having faith in magic. He flew over cities, and countrysides, then he rested on a poll in a park like area. Jareth cocked his head. There was a girl reading the book. How she had the book or where she had found it perplexed him but there she was reading the book and it seemed like she had tearstains running down her cheek.
She hugged the massive dog that sat next to her. Jareth listened intently to her.
"It's not fair, Merlin. Why does daddy have to go and get married? Everything was prefect until Ellen came along. And now," she sniffled, "it won't be just the two of us anymore."
He watched the girl cry some more then she heard the chime of the clock in the park and ran home as fast as her feet could carry her.
He followed her home then peered in through her window. This was no ordinary girl; this girl seemed to have a love of items that belonged in his world. He noticed a puppet that resembled a fiery. A figurine that looked like Sir Diddimus. A small knickknack that could have passed for Hoggle. A poster of a stair room that resembled his own. Then he spotted a music box with a doll that strangely looked like the girl. A maze toy with a statue that looked like him.
He then would watch this girl every night, dress in clothing that looked like something from his world. Carry herself in a certain grace and beauty. There was something in her eyes that spoke volumes yet conveyed nothing.
He thought somehow he had seen her face before, or that she looked like someone he knew, but he dismissed it and continued to just watch her.
2 yrs later: (Quick Authors Note I found script to the movie on so please no throwing anything at me for inaccuracies anything not vocalized I made up)
It was a stormy night, the rain pelted across his wings. He sat at a windowsill again, it seemed her family had left her in charge of the young baby again, a task she seemed to not like at all.
This night in particular she was very upset and was threatening the baby to call on him. Not to hurt the child of course, the child could come home he wanted this girl.
"I'll say the words." She said loudly. "No I mustn't," she then said almost dejectedly.
The baby wailed on.
"I wish"
He heard his goblins around the room.
"Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you maybe, take this child of mine far away from me!"
Jareth almost laughed at her words, those were not the right words not even close.
She then muttered saying she wished she did know the words then she said it.
"I wish the goblins would come take you away, right now!" She added for emphasis.
Toby vanished with the goblins instantly; Sarah came back into the room after she noticed it was unusually quiet.
He materialized before her.
Sarah gasped and took a step back, there was something so familiar about his eyes, she tried to get it out but all she could say was " You're him aren't you?"
