If Only You Knew
Chapter 1: Obsessions
Sarah Williams. Tall. Slender. Beautiful.
Oh what he wouldn't do to have her again. Those thirteen fateful hours over three years ago had been more than Jareth could ever hope for again. She was everything he had ever wanted, and everything he could never have. He was fae, a creature so utterly beautiful and so utterly immortal that any liaison with a mortal would only lead to a tragic ending. But still, as he looked at her through the crystal he held within one gloved hand, he could not help but feel that hopeless attraction towards her.
She was incredible. Somehow she had managed to go through high school and never once lose her romantic dramatic side. She had joined chess club, the debate team, and her schools mock trial team, become the perfect student, and still she had found time to be an actress. Jareth would watch her at each performance… Every time he saw her he realized the same thing.
She was stunning.
She was stunning, and she was leaving. Leaving her home, leaving her past, and leaving him. Everything he had ever longed for was packing her bags and preparing to leave him forever. College. He almost spat at the word. He had offered her an entire kingdom, and she had turned it down in favor of an overcrowded school that could not ever possibly teach her all he could.
He had to have her. One way or the other, Sarah Williams would be his. He chuckled as a plan took form in his mind. "Oh my dear sweet Sarah, Pack your bags. Say goodbye to your loved ones. For tomorrow you shall leave, but not to your precious college. As of tomorrow… you shall be mine."
