What If Part II The Nightmare

Tomas and Sydney froze. Jareth's voice rang loud and clear, even though they were out of the Labyrinth and walking though the dry dead land.
" Hear that." Sydney said to Tomas as he continued to force Sydney to walk. " He's pissed, boy are you going to get it."
" Shut up!" Tomas roared, he would have given anything to have Jareth's power to be able to appear anywhere he wanted instead of having to walk like most everyone else.
Sydney grinned; she had been messing with his mind the entire time. She could tell that he was very nervous of his son, and trying to put as much distance between the castle and himself as fast as possible. Now that Jareth's message rang across the land, he knew he had run out of time. It would only be a mater of time now before Jareth found them. " Tomas you're on borrowed time."
" I told you to shut up,.. you mortals never did like to take orders."
" If you take me back now, I'm sure he really won't kill you. Maybe rough you up a bit.okay a lot. but I'm sure that's better than-"
" Will you shut up!" he turned sharply and locked his gaze on her. " Your this close from making me forget about the edge of the Underground and killing you right here."
Sydney was about to snap back, but was smart enough not to push her luck. She kept her mouth shut and continued to be dragged across the desert land. Besides the dead tress and bushes that littered the land, everywhere you looked were giant boulders and large piles of rocks. The further they went the larger and higher the rocks and boulders got. Some where even pilled high on top of each other, looking as if there was no was in the world that they could balance as they were. Soon they had to climb and slide their way around. Sydney tried five times at this point to escape, but the turns and path ways confused her and it only took a minute before Tomas found her again. So now she didn't even try.
Tomas cursed the dozens of fairies that dived bombed them when they got to close to their nests. And they scared away tiny lizards that looked like dragons. This discovery caught Sydney attention and she would have loved to go off and catch the tiny dragons. But she scolded herself for not thinking of ways to get away from Tomas.
Jareth paced rapidly across the throne room trying to think of a way to find Sydney. " Damn, they could be anywhere." He said to no one in particular. A message had gone out across the Labyrinth to ask any goblin if they had seen them, but nothing came back. He had reacted Just as he had when Sarah was making her approach to the castle. Shouting at the castle goblins to call out the guard and find then as fast as possible. Goblins shouted the bells rang, Jareth now understood the meaning of Sydney's use of the word Déjà vu, for he felt like he was reliving the exact moment. Tomas was very carefull about being seen it seems. He couldn't be very far, Jareth knew that his father couldn't disappear and reappear like he could. And that Sydney was in no way going to go quite or easily. That also narrowed the area that his father could go to throw Sydney off. So before any more time could be wasted he vanished and appeared in the outskirts of the Underground.
Sydney stood rooted to the ground as they gazed at the strange sight. Tomas wasn't lying when he said he was taking her to the edge of the Underground. Right there in front of her was the edge of the land, it just stopped, the sky continued but the land stopped. " This is not really happening." She whispered to herself, " Jareth"
" This is happing, and Jareth is not going to be here to save you." Tomas said. Sydney couldn't help but smile at his classic villain response. " Come now were almost there."
Sydney jolted out of her stupor and just about laughed, ' right like I would go that easily' she thought. Then before Tomas could do anything, she rushed away and put a wide boulder between them. She knew it would have been futile to run, but she had to give herself time to think up something better to do. Tomas ran after her, and around, around they went. Sydney always keeping an equal distance from him.
" Do what you will mortal, I will have you in the end." Tomas shouted.
Jareth appeared across miles to land on a boulder and had yet to see neither hide nor hair of Tomas or Sydney. He was running out of time, he could have thrown Sydney off already.But something told Jareth that this was not so, that she was still here in the Underground. " SYDNEY!" he shouted, then waited for the echo to vanish to see if he could hear her..Nothing.
Sydney and Tomas stopped their cat and mouse game as they heard Jareth's shout. Sydney's face lit up with a smile, Jareth was close. Pausing for that second was all Tomas needed, he sprinted around the boulder and grabbed Sydney. Shocked and angered that she had allowed herself to be caught she let out an ear-piercing scream. But she knew that she was to far away to be heard. " Let..me..go!" she shouted at Tomas, turning in his arms and smashing the heal of her palm into his face, Knowing that move would have broken a mortal's nose. Tomas reeled and let her go.
Sydney turned and ran in the direction of Jareth's shout, but her foot caught on one of the many rocks and she tripped and fell. Tomas was there in a second and was dragging her back up, calling her every insult that knew from his native land, and a few from Aboveground. But Sydney was not about to give up now, not when she knew Jareth was looking for her and that he was so close. She grabbed a handful of the grainy sand and threw it into Tomas's face, blinding him. Again she was released and she turned and ran.
Blinking the sand from his watering eyes, Tomas snapped. He may not be as strong as his son but he did have his own powers. He reached out his hand toward Sydney and commanded the power inside of him to flair up. " Stop," He said, his voice low and disorienting. Sydney felt as though she had hit in the head, Pain exploded from the wound she had received at the ball. Her mind went blank and she didn't know what she was doing, Why was she running, what was running? Sydney stopped in her tracks as she tried to make since of it all.
Tomas smiled to himself, wondering why he had not commanded her mind at the very start. Wiping the rest of the sand from his eyes, he slowly walked up to her.
Sydney could see Tomas approach her and she knew that she had to get away. But she couldn't understand how, how was she to run. Terrified the she was going to lose without a fight, she demanded her head to move. Sydney stared down at her legs and tried to move a step. That one step was all it took to break out of Tomas's spell. She stumbled, but immediately recovered and sprinted away.
Tomas froze in midstep, why did it not surprise him that the mortal as not going to be commanded that easily. Tomas sighed, no matter, he would just add a little more strength to his words. " I said STOP!"
Sydney knew she was in trouble long before she felt his power, but nothing could have prepared her for the amount of pain she was going to feel. Tomas's power slammed into her head and back, like two sledgehammers, knocking the air out of her. Sydney heard the stitched from the wound on her head rip as it reopened. Her vision exploded with white light, and she staggered then fell. Pain lanced though her side and she knew that she would be lucky if she got away with only one broken rib.
Jareth felt his skin crawling and the only time he felt like he was being skinned alive was when his father used that damned mind numbing power of his. Jareth appeared at the top of another very high boulder and looked into the distance. His father had tried to use his power on him once when he was younger, but it had no affect, Jareth was just too strong. His father must be having a very hard time controlling Sydney if he had stooped to such a rape of the mind, and he knew he had to be near them the feel it. He feared for Sydney, knowing full well what his father's power could do to a mortal. " Sydney. I swear, when I find him I will inflict the pain he gave you upon him ten fold." He growled to himself as he franticly searched the distance, and strained to hear any sounds of a fight.
Sydney laid on the rocky ground whimpering in pain. The large pile of impossible balanced boulders loomed high over her like giants. She stared up at them a second longer before Tomas appeared in her line of sight. He grinned wickedly down at her as he pulled her to her feet. Sydney could hardly stand and she wavered a bit before she regained her balance. Her vision blacked out a few times as she was walking and by the time she had shaken off most of the pain she realized that Tomas had taken her right up to the edge of the Underground. A row of closely placed boulders where lined up to the edge, as if forming a gate and pathway to the end. Only a few feet separated her from the way home, And Jareth was nowhere near them
