Summary: Sarah joins a cult based on witchcraft headed by a husband
and wife duo. What she doesn't know is that they themselves are actually
slave traders to the world below, the Underground. Back in the
Underground, Sarah encounters new trials and friends, as well as her old
ones. An old enemy becomes a new ally, and Sarah, a common mortal, is
transformed to one of the greatest queens of the Underground.

"Your majesty, your majesty," the little short dwarf shouts as he runs as fast as his stubby legs can carry him. Panting, the dwarf swallows as he sees the look of annoyance cross the features of his sovereign. "What is it Hogwart?" Jareth, King of the Goblins asks the dwarf while balancing a glowing orb on the tip of a black gloved digit. Hoggle, the dwarf, sighs in indignation and says firmly, "It's Hoggle. And the girl, Sarah, she's back in the Underground." Raising an eyebrow at the news, Jareth stands from his granite throne and glares coldly. "What did you just say?" Hoggle gulps audibly and fidgets with his sleeve. "Sarah is back, your majesty."
Putting a hand to his chin, his thoughts lead him away from annoyance and toward something more interesting. "She's the one that actually beat my labyrinth, correct?" "Yes, your majesty," Hoggle says. "And, where did you last see her?" Not sure if he should betray Sarah's trust, but, then again, Hoggle figures that anything would be better than being a slave, "Zeus bought her as one of his slaves."
Jareth throws his head back and laughs a deep, regal laugh and then shakes his head. "He won't get far with that one, I'm afraid. Tell you what, Hedgewart. I'll make you a deal. Since you are her friend, I'm sure you want to help her. I give you my permission to aid her in any way you can, but you must lead her here. Is that understood?"
Shaking his yes head in agreement, Hoggle turns and starts to leave room. "Oh and Hoggle," Jareth warns, "remember what happened last time?" Hoggle turns around and stares at his king in fright. Whenever Jareth remembers his name he knows he's in it deep. He hangs his head guiltily at the memory. "Don't let it happen again!" Jareth demands and turns on his heel. Hoggle growls at his king and starts to leave once more. He sure is glad Sarah's back now, as she is the only one that could ever put the king in his place.
Getting to work, Hoggle goes and rounds up the old gang from the different parts of the labyrinth, which is no easy feat.
"Let go of me, you creep!" Sarah shrieks indignantly as one of Zeus's men, who Sarah didn't have the pleasure of finding out his name, pulls her to a different room. "Don't struggle, doll, it will just make it worse for you." Sarah growls and says, "I'm not your doll, you buffoon! Now get your filthy hands off of me!" As she says this, Sarah pushes the big oaf of a man away from her, and he falls on his backside.
Not sticking around to enjoy the moment, Sarah flees hurriedly back to her room. Zeus is there, as quick as lightening (A.N. No pun intended), and blocks the door, her only way to escape. "Move," she demands in frustration. Zeus is angered with the mortal's insolence, as well as her sharp tongue, and he decides it's time that he taught her a lesson. "Daedelus, go get Babette, I'm sure you'll find her much more agreeable." Daedelus sighs and says, "Yes, your majesty," and is allowed to re-enter the room Sarah isn't allowed access to.
Zeus moves forward quickly and grabs Sarah by her exposed upper arm. "Come with me," he hisses threateningly, and Sarah knows that now isn't the time to argue. He drags her like a rag doll to a room that Sarah hadn't noticed before and throws her inside. Sarah lands on the floor in a crumpled heap, the king looming over her. "Stand up," he demands coldly. Sarah complies and shivers involuntarily under his unnerving stare.
"What is this that I hear about you giving my men a hard time? They come to you girls to take their minds off of things, and to find a little bit of pleasure amidst their gruesome daily lives." Sarah isn't buying his royal spiel one bit. "Save it," she says through gritted teeth, her fists clenching. The mortal that dares to talk to him in such a way amuses Zeus. "Well, it's nice to see that my little pet has a backbone," he says while walking around her, "as well as other nice attributes."
Her eyes spitting fire from their green encasing, Sarah watches him as he circles her. "Why don't you let me go then, if I'm such a problem," Sarah suggests nonchalantly. "Because," Zeus replies, "if my men can't handle you, then there's no point in selling you. The only alternative that I can think of is to kill you." He smiles coldly at her, trying to scare her.
Sarah swallows and tries not to look convinced. "You wouldn't kill me," she says confidently. "Oh," Zeus says raising an eyebrow, reminding her of another king that she had once met. "What makes you so sure." Sarah smirks and crosses her arms over her chest. "Because, you like me too much, that's why."
Sneering, Zeus stands so that he's only inches away from her. Her body is young and nubile, and he reaches out a hand to caress her milky white skin. Grabbing a handful of her loose brown hair that falls down her back in a chocolate waterfall, Zeus brings his lips close to her. He can smell her fear, a scent that is an acquired taste, but once you get used to it it's an addiction. "You're right," he says, and brings his lips down on hers in a punishing kiss.
Sarah tries in vain to struggle out of his grip. While Zeus is busy mashing his lips against hers and bringing her body closer to his so she can feel how much he likes her, he doesn't notice one of his servants that enters the room. The servant clears his throat nervously and quakes under the glare Zeus sends him after being interrupted.
Letting Sarah go, she steps back away from him, grateful for the few feet between them. "Your highness," the servant says, bowing low in an effort to appease his king, "there are intruders in the kingdom." Zeus's anger flares momentarily and he starts to hurry out of the room, his servant leading him. Hitting the threshold of the door, Zeus turns and warns ominously, "I'll be back." And with that he slams the door behind him.
Sarah sinks to the floor in degradation. Wiping at her lips with her sleeve, she sighs as she had never been kissed before, and she is sorry that had to be her first one. She tries in vain to hold back the tears that start to leak down her cheeks. A knock on the door startles her, and she brushes the tears off of her cheeks. "Just a moment," she calls.
She tries to open the door, but finds that it's locked. "The door appears to be locked," she calls to the person on the other side. She hears the rattling of some metal, and for a moment she's fearful that it's Zeus playing tricks on her. But, once the door opens, Sarah finds an old dwarf staring back.
"Hoggle," she gasps happily, and bends down to hug her friend. "Nice to see you, too, Sarah." "I thought I saw you a couple of days ago. How did you know I was here?" she asks. Hoggle shrugs and says, "I saw Zeus buy you, and I knew he would take you to his castle. And I know the type of reputation Zeus has with his women, so I figured you'd be needing my help." Sarah's smiles and says, "You're right, now let's get out of here."
Hoggle and Sarah sneak stealthily down the hallway when Sarah remembers her friends. "Shoot," she says suddenly. Hoggle turns and looks at her in concern. "Oh, I almost forgot about my friends. They were sold to Zeus as I was. Their names are Mary and Laura. They don't know my real name is Sarah, I sort of lied a while ago because I didn't want people to know my name for security reasons. They think it's Beth." Hoggle nods his head, not quite understanding, but decides to help anyway he can. "Right, Beth," he says in agreement.
Sarah smiles and they head back down the way they came to find Sarah's friends. Sarah opens the door to the room shared by most of the girls to find Laura sitting on the bed talking to some other woman. She motions for Hoggle to stay put, and she enters the room. "Laura, where's Mary?" Sarah asks. Laura rights herself and acts bubbly, "Oh, hi Beth. Mary got chosen by one of the men, isn't it wonderful." Sarah is furious and says shortly, "No, it's not wonderful, we have to save her. Now come on." She tries to pull Laura along by the arm, but Laura refuses.
"See," Laura begins, "that's the difference between me and you, Beth. I know when to accept defeat. It's not so bad here; maybe you should learn to accept that fact like the rest of us." Sarah is shocked, but doesn't let it show. "Fine, I'll just go find Mary on my own," and she turns on her heel and slams the door angrily behind her. Storming down the hall she hears Laura's laughter. She growls and starts to pace. "What's wrong, Sarah?" Hoggle asks.
Sarah quickly corrects him, "It's Beth, for at least awhile. Some man chose Mary, and it's going to take forever to find her. We have to act quickly." Hoggle stiffens suddenly and Sarah's dark brows crease at his change in demeanor. "He's back," Hoggle says regretfully. "Oh no," Sarah whispers, putting a hand to her mouth.
"Hoggle, run, get out of here. He can't find you here, hurry," she says urgently, pushing him along. "But, Sarah," he says as he turns around. "No buts, now go," she says braver than she feels. "I won't forget you, I'll come back for you, I promise my friend," Hoggle says gallantly, and then disappears from sight. Sarah curses and runs at full speed down the hallway.
Does anyone really ever read these things down here because it doesn't seem like it. Yes, this is a Jareth and Sarah fanfic. I never said it wasn't going to be. It's just going to take it awhile to get to that place. And secondly, Zeus is not Jareth, and Jareth is not Zeus! I'm not sure how in the world some of you got to that conclusion. They look nothing alike! Plus, Zeus's followers are skilled warriors and Jareth's are goblins. My advice is don't try to guess where I'm going, because it's aggravating when I read reviews that are so far off and I have to explain myself. Please just RELAX and let the story be spun. Thank you.
