Author's note: Well, thanks for the kind reviews. I'm thinking of 2 ways this story could go, to have an unforgettable ending, that just might make you add me to your list of favorite authors... or at least to your fav stories list. I also think it's pathetic and sad that for my FIRST COMPLETE story on Pirates of the Carribean only got about 8 reviews. That kinda makes me not want to write. Just so you know, it includes humor, an entirely new story line and a little bit of everything including a moral, death, love, and rebirth. .... PLEASE READ... I'm Desperate! Btw, there is some mild cussing. lol... anyways... ONTO THE STORY!



The laughing continued then abruptly stopped, with the storm outside of the out of power house.

Sarah turned back, seeing a shadow run past in the darkness. She knew as revenge, he took Toby instead. She suddenly felt pure hatred. Looking to all sides of her, she screamed in anger and slammed her fist against the wall.

She threw herself towards the railing as lightning lit the downstairs, she heard some noises as though someone ran out the door.

"What the fuck do you want from me!" She yelled and turned around seeing the doors opening and closing themselves. "I wanted Toby safe! What the hell do you have against people being happy!?"

She threw herself on the floor and sat on her knees holding her head. Everything spun. She had said her piece. The words she wanted to say for so long finally came out. The doors slammed shut simultaneously. She ran her fingers through her hair, bringing her hands to her face.

"All I wanted was to be happy." She sobbed. Were her plans too much? Have a family and a successful career. Her dream since childhood was to be a writer.

The door at the end of the hall slowly swung open. Seeing the small flickering light from a single lit candle, she followed. Once she entered the room the door closed. She found the candle set on the desk of a vanity. She sat infront of it and looked at herself as memories of Adam's voice flooded her mind. Studying her reflection, she dismayed.

How much farther was there to fall from grace?

Her hair lay about her face, mangled. Her red cheeks lost all touch with her uneven skin tone and the rest of her she revered as a complete disaster. She treated herself as some unexplored territory that wasn't worth a dime, or even the time to look at. A land barren of any life, with frightening trees with tangled branches that never bore any fruit.

She looked at her eyes. Green. Once upon a time, Adam said she had the greenest eyes that would make any emerald jealous. Once. He quickly denied the compliment and yelled at her "I meant to say your eyes are so green, make an emerald sick! As would any man who had to be with the likes of you!"

Suddenly, the memories flooded back as she looked at herself so deeply she seemed hypnotized.

"Love? Why did you ever think that?"

"You're such a fat pig I can hardly get around you!...If I could fit my arms around you, it would be to strangle you because I feel so sorry you have to look at yourself everyday!"

"You say YOU'RE unhappy? Look at me! Your son has to grow up with a good father and a sorry excuse for a mother!"

Sarah put her head down on the desk, about to go mad from the voices. She lightly pounded her forehead onto the desk.

"You could've been happy, you know."

She lifted her head and looked around the room. Appearantly, more voices were joining the conversation. This one gave her a sense of relief. It's heavy British accent was concealed lightly. She saw nothing and put her head down on the desk again.

"If you had taken the offer, you could've been happy." Jareth's voice filled the room, but his presence was nowhere to be seen.

She opened her eyes and stared at the floor. She felt ill suddenly and fell to the floor.

"I know." She whispered admitting finally that even though in the end of that, she did get Toby back, but she had lost in the greater picture. She suddenly felt her vision go blurry.

"So this is what dying's like..." She said as she let her eyes close peacefully.

Jareth carefully picked her up, and together they dissapeared. Journeying through time and alternate dimensions to the land known as the Underground. Jareth wondered just how long he had left.
