Prologue
In the center of a dark lonely throne room sits a King that can hear the apologies and please stops that a poor battered woman repeats to her husband in hope that the beating will end soon.
"Ah, Sarah, if only you had taken the crystal and forgotten about the baby you would be safe from this pain," he said with a tinge of remorse. "But no you had to be the heroine and safe the baby."
No matter how much he wanted to help Sarah, Jareth King of the Goblins had his pride and the memory of her rejection still bore heavily on his heart, even after these seven years.
Her voice rang loud in his mind, , a worried look passed the Kings face but was quickly replaced by an indifferent mask.
"Help Sarah, you want help, Ha I'll help you my dear and I will get my revenge in the process, my dear." The king laughed the thought if getting his revenge and disappeared from the throne room leaving a pile of glitter in his wake.
Chapter 1
Aches and pains is all she felt when she tried to get up from bed, 'This has to stop,' she thought remembering how her husband, Dave hit her repetitively the night before, because she didn't have dinner ready when he got home.
"What do I have to do today," she asked herself not wanted to get up from the only place that she saw as safe. "Wait is today Friday," she looked at the calendar over on the wall and screamed "No, today is Saturday, Dave gets off at noon and I have to have his lunch prepared and have all my chores done before he gets home." She looked over at the clock on the night stand and saw that it was seven in the morning, "Darn no time to waste he will be home soon and I want him to let me visit my family this Christmas." So Sarah forced herself from the bed to have the house clean and lunch made for Dave when he came home.
Sarah walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to that she can ready a meal for her husband when the phone rang, "I wonder who that can be, calling at this hour," she picked up the cordless telephone from the kitchen counter, "Hello". "Sarah?"

'Toby, can it be?' "Toby is that you sweet heart?" she managed to get out after the shock of hearing her little brother's voice after almost five years.
"Yeah, Sarah it's me, I stole your phone number from Mom's purse. I missed you and I remember that you called before and said that you will come and visit. Ummmm.are you still coming, Sarah?" 'I really hope so, Baby!' "I think that we will make it up this year, Sweetheart don't worry." "Really! All ride Sar, ummm. Mom is home I gotta go bye!" The dial tone was already sounding when Sarah muttered bye hoping that she would see her brother again.
