DISCLAIMER: ummmmmmmmmmm- nope *shakes head* Don't own 'um. DO you? Cause if you do can you sign my arm?

Chapter Four: "Now, listen good and listen straight- You're not the master of your fate!"

Mad screamed in fright. Sarah started, whether at the shock of the intrusion or Madeline's scream it was hard to tell. Rei just glared in silence.

"Welcome ladies, you are most privileged," said the stranger, mocking smile edging his lips.

"You call this a privilege? I call it assault," Rei sneered sarcastically, her voice cold.

Sarah shivered. There was something in Rei's voice, something she had never heard before. It caressed you in the way death would, like a freezing cold lover.
"Oh you're a spunky one. You'll be so much fun to break. I think I'll keep you to myself," The man laughed cruelly.

Rei simply stood and said- her English accent in full swing now, "I'm just shaking in my knickers."

He stooped laughing abruptly. He was not used to one so defiant. He stalked closer to the cage, feeling the wave of pain crash onto him. 'Iron' he hissed mentally, remembering.

Sarah tugged at Rei, wanting her to sit. Sarah had dealt with Fae before, but this guy was no Jareth. He was too dark… too evil. But Rei paid her no attention.

"You will respect your master," ordered the dark Fae.

"Only when you respect my right to kick your arse to Guam and back, you bloody wanker."

Insulted now, he was ready to open that cage and whip her until she was crying. Then he would yank her to the floor and fuck her senseless until he couldn't anymore. He couldn't remember being this aroused since HER. And this girl was just like her, cheeks flushed with anger, chest heaving in rage. Definitely a turn on…

"That will be enough, Darien," called a voice.

"Ah, Jareth, you finally decided to join us."

Jareth slowly stepped into view. Sarah's eyes glazed over in rage as she stood. She had actually believed Jareth was a- she had actually fallen in lo-… She was shaking with anger now. "Jareth," Sarah spat.

Jareth's head shot up and his eyes meet Sarah's. The raw anger, pain, and betrayal (?) in them almost made him flinch. He knew what she must have been thinking.

"So Jareth, which two shall it be, that you will set free?" His foppish laughter rang out. "You see, I'm a bit of a poet and you did not know it." He recovered gradually. "So, will it be the luscious red head, the beautiful brunette, or the gorgeous blonde?"

There was silence from the five. Madeline was close to fainting. Darien was waiting in silence. Jareth was staring at Sarah and Sarah was staring back. Rei was looking at Jareth too, a glazed look in her eyes- one of remembrance.

"Well? You're trying my patience. Make your choice!"

That snapped Jareth and Sarah out of their trances. Sarah glanced at Rei who was looking at Jareth with a strange gleam in her eyes. Like she was trying to remember something and something else…

Jareth pointed to Sarah first.

"The brunette," he said indifferently.

"And who am I loosing?" asked Darien.

"Special Agent Sarah Williams," she stated.

"Very Special, indeed," he said looking at her from head to toe. Sarah shivered from revulsion under his gaze and he grinned. "'tis a pity…"

Sarah, still revolted, turned to her friends.

"I can't leave you here," Sarah said, lip quivering.

Sarah is shocked to see what was behind her. Rei had broken from her trace and was trying to comfort Madeline. Mad was rocking back and forth and muttering uncontrollably, 'This isn't happening' over and over. She looked at Rei, hopelessly.

"I can't leave you…" Sarah said, enveloping her best friend in a hug.

Rei held her friend and said, "Sh …"

Jareth looked over the other two remaining girls. The red head was beautiful indeed but her spirit had already broken. Just the change in atmosphere easily broke her. There was nothing left inside her but panic and fear. He looked over the blonde that was hold his Sarah. She was surreal… that elegant and careless beauty that comes only to the Fae race. She was also strong and brave. He had heard her comments from before. She would get whipped and beaten until her bright spirit was reduced to ashes. She still had a chance, the red head didn't.

"And the blonde," Jareth said to his brother.

Darien scoffed, "Oh you always spoil my fun!" He pouted at Rei and kneeled down to her level. "We were going to have so much fun… but a promise is a promise."

"GUARDS!" He called.

Thundering footsteps came towards them. Sarah finally understood everything and gripped onto Madeline, not prepared to leave her friend her to this monster.

The cage opened and the guards gathered up Sarah and Rei.

"NO! No! MADELINE! MADELINE! Please, NO!" Sarah cried, struggling to stay toward her friend.

Rei was reluctant but she knew that they had no choice. She paid attention to everything as they were carried out.

Madeline didn't hear Sarah's cries as she rocked back and forth, stuck in her world. But they rest of them did, it seemed to echo forever.

"MADELINE!"
