Sarah felt the sunlight hit her face and she stretched out. The first thing she noticed was that there was a warm spot on the bed, however there was no body next to her. She opened her eyes on the pillow next to her was a single rosebud and a piece of parchment. She unrolled the paper.

My dearest Sarah, I apologize for not staying to see you awaken. It was my desire to have you lie in my arms until then. However it is considered very bad luck, and against proper decorum that the groom sees the bride before the wedding.

I hope you will forgive, this absence. Do not worry about today, everything will be fine.

With love, Jareth.

Sarah smiled and tenderly caressed the rose she climbed out of bed and dressed in her previous days clothes and left for her room.

After that Sarah really did not have much time to think, her maids were busy doing her hair, and dressing her for the wedding.

She glanced at her reflection. She smiled as she carefully tucked the pendant inside the dress, she knew it would not be wise to reveal her and Jareth were already married unless it was a last resort.

She carefully placed the veil overhead, hiding her features and waited patiently for her escort.

Jareth paced nervously, he knew Amándir could attack at any moment. He hoped Sarah would be alright.

The music started, the guests stopped murmuring. He took his place in front of the alter and waited somewhat patiently.

Sarah's attendants came in first, then she came through the archway. Jareth smiled in awe. She was more beautiful then he possibly could have imagined.

The High Fae council was there in procession. The leader came to the alter.

He kept with formalities then he said the line "If there is anyone present who wishes to speak against this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."

"I speak against it." Amándir stepped towards the alter, many members of the crowed gasped in shock. "The girl is a fraud, I declare war on the Goblin Kingdom for and Offense against the Elf Kingdom."

The high council convened the leader "Jareth, do you have any proof that this girl is Sariya."

"Your graces, I can, however she must be allowed to remove her veil."

There was some murmuring, this had never been done before.

The high councilman spoke. "Very well then, however she must keep her face towards us."

Jareth walked to her. Gently lifted the veil from her head, Sarah was careful to only look at the council members who all gasped in unison. He gently lifted her hair. "Come Amándir it is the very mark I made 21 years ago."

"You have recently made that mark, it is still deception." He spat. He had to convince the council of this lie.

"Your honors, I know it is against many rules, but King Amándir only has to look at her to know it is his daughter." Jareth spoke quickly.

Once again there was much chattering. The council agreed quickly. "Very well then" The head one stated.

Sarah turned and for the first time looked at her father. She saw some of her features in him, his nose, and his eyes, but she must have looked more like her mother.

"You insolent fool, how dare you use glamour and have her look like Lissalle. I forbid this marriage she is not my daughter, my daughter is dead."

The crowd gasped, Jareth though knowing he might say this already had a plan in action. "Very well then, Council men, you remember about 5 years ago a young woman defeated the Labyrinth." There was nodding. "Sariya, the council remembers what you looked like in human form, would you kindly use your glamour."

Sarah smiled, she actually liked the way he said her proper name, then she closed her eyes and let the magic flow through her, instantly she looked like the human form that she had lived as for twenty years.

The council gasped. "This is all part of Jareth's tricks." Growled Amándir. "I demand the ruling of my kingdom."

Sarah quickly turned back to her normal state. "That you cannot have." She spoke quickly. She saw a young woman standing faithfully behind him.

"And why is that, you are nothing but an imposter." He said slyly. He was sweating he did not know the girl would look so very much like her mother had.

"Because according to the council if Jareth were to marry, no matter whom is bride he would automatically be given the Elf Kingdom."

"Yes that is so, however, you are not married." He smirked.

Sarah carefully drew out the pendant from her dress. "I do apologize your majesty, but I have proof otherwise."

Jareth smiled proudly at her, she was being braver then he could have thought possible.

There were general murmurs in the crowd, things like this did not generally happen in the Underground.

"You will not win this time Jareth." Amándir yelled, and instantly drew his sword. He started rampaging toward Jareth.

Jareth instantly withdrew his sword and the two men were fighting at once. Then all of Amándir's men came in swords carried in, slashing their way through the crowds. The council made an instant call, and suddenly in the room appeared a fae army that none had seen before

Sarah quickly moved to the highest point in the room to give herself protection. Her heart was beating fast in her chest.

Many men were dying and falling to the floor. The room was littered with swords and blood.

Sarah suddenly felt a cold blade against her neck.

"You will not be allowed to live." A soft voice said. "The kingdom will be mine, if I have to destroy you to get it. I should have married the goblin king." Myrrdyn hissed in her ear.

Sarah swallowed hard, "Please, I know father has turned you this way but there is still time." She said gently.

"I am his wife you fool." She spat Sarah swallowed this girl couldn't be older then she was, she then remembered what Jareth had said that age did not matter in the underground. Sarah then did the only thing she could think of, she made herself vanish and instantly reappear at the back of Myrrdyn.

"If you run, no harm will come to you." Sarah said.

"I do not intend to run, nor do I intend to be harmed." She growled, and turned drawing a knife and stabbing Sarah in the shoulder blade. Sarah winced but thought quickly, she drew her sword and also made a move to only wound the girl, but in a movement the girl made Sarah saw the sword go right through the girls heart.

Myrrdin fell to the floor, Sarah bent down and started to cry.

Jareth scanned the room trying to find her but did not see her. Amándir was not giving up easily. Then he completely disappeared on him. Jareth quickly scanned the room for him. Amándir came up behind him, I will dispose of you yet.

Jareth made a swift movement, then his sword was against his throat.

"You do not have the courage to kill me Jareth, otherwise you would have done it 4 yrs ago." He smiled wickedly.

"I should have done it 21 yrs ago, Amándir" He spat.

The two men were circling around each other. In one swift movement Amándir tried to take Jareth's head, but Jareth was too quick. He quickly over came Amándir, then threw him to the floor stabbing him through the lower part of his abdomen. He moved away slowly, he had no intentions of killing this man.

But Amándir was not about to give up, and started advancing again, more agile more quickly. Jareth then rounded bringing his sword around. Then Amándir's head fell to the floor.

Instantly the fighting stopped, without their leader there was no reason to continue.

Sarah stood wondering why it had become so quiet. She saw Jareth sitting on the stairs talking to a council member.

She quickly ran to be beside him.

"Are you alright?" She asked quickly.

He smiled. "Yes now I know your well"

The high councilman spoke. "Your majesty it seems in all this commotion we have forgotten the reason for being here. However as this priest tells us that he personally preformed the ceremony upon the Ladies arrival, this would be just a formality."

Jareth nodded.

"We will help you to properly burry these men, sire, ladies and gentleman, I would like to introduce the new queen of the Labyrinth and Elf Kingdom, the Lady Sarah."

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good sir," Jareth quickly said. "You must believe that she really is the Princess Sariya." Jareth showed the mark to the councilman.

"Yes of course," He touched the mark, no it wasn't recent. "Very well then, Queen Sariya of the Labyrinth and Elf Kingdom."

There was some general cheering. Sarah however looked a little forlorn. The precession was leaving the building where the battle had just occurred.

"What is the matter my love" Jareth said taking her hand.

"I just killed her, I did not mean to, but she is dead because of me." She teared up again.

Jareth wrapped a protective arm around her. "I understand Sarah I really do. I once did the same." Jareth then told her of the battle and how he accidentally killed Prince Malek who was only 7 at the time, but faithfully following his fathers footsteps.

They walked out together in each other's arms, He then kissed her. They looked at each other and smiled. Sarah knew that no matter what the future held they could manage to get by.

"Jareth one request."

"Yes my love, anything"

"Can you call me Sariya, I like when you say it." She smiled, the sooner she accepted this life the better.

"Of course my Sariya." He kissed her again.

In the room a young man of 16 rose. This was the second time he had faked his death. He remembered his father telling him how to make it appear Jareth killed him then he was to disappear into hiding.

His father found him a few days ago, living quietly in a small town.

He walked over to his father. He sighed heavily, no his father had not faked it. "Do not worry father." Malek said. "I will not disappoint you, I will have revenge on Jareth.

Malek walked out of the room and started a journey away from the castle.

The remaining of the evening, the council members began to bury the bodies.

Jareth stood holding Sariya protectively at his side.

"Jareth" She smiled.

"Yes my love."

"I think I am ready to leave this party." She said winking.

Jareth took her hand and they quietly walked into the castle, only thinking of each other.
