Alrighty, then. This chapter is dedicated to Lady Zhen Ji, who inspired me to get off my ass and write again. I stop every now and then due to lack of reviews. But as long as I have some people reviewing I'll continue. The song is Don't Fade Away by Milla Jovovich. The usual disclaimer, I don't own Jareth, the Labyrinth, the Cetran City, or Sarah. But I own everything else. Enjoy!

"Hello sunshine
Please don't fade away
See our genius warp that we created"

Sarah was sobbing into her children's pillows. She was clutching them with fierceness. Why would Shea and Lili leave knowing how much it would hurt her and Jareth? She found a note on Shea's bed, which explained everything to her.

My dear parents,

First, let me say how deeply sorry I am for doing this to you. But Lili and I have no choice. We have to rescue Isabella. Obviously you both are in no condition to go after her, so Lili and I have taken responsibility for it. We will rescue our sister. We love her just as much as you do, and we promise to return with her. Very soon you will be receiving note and letters from the Guado, Locke and Enix families. Their children have decided to come with us in our search for Bella. DO NOT COME AFTER US. Doing so will result is severe consequences. After studying under Lunus for as long as we have, Lili and I have performed a spell in which if any of you come after us...let's just say bad things will happen. Thanks to mom, we know where Isabella is, and we will find her. In the Cetran City, we know we'll find Bella. We have been trained under your guidance and the best Sorcerer in the Underground. We can make it. We love you.

Love, Shea and Lily


"Stepping over
Shadows from your smile
Losing Myself
In these waves of light"

Shanna sat on a terrace in Adam's castle looking over the Cetran City. The city was dead, but it was still as beautiful as ever. And very soon, it would be alive again. And Adam would be it's King. She, of course, would be Queen. But first they needed to get the power out of the brat child. Isabella had the key to what the needed. And being the genius her love was, he knew how to get it out of her, but the right moment was needed. Adam was now ressurected, and right now, in a feeble state. He was a demon, but with time and patience, he will be in a human state. His smoldered and burned tissue would heal into human flesh. Then the plan could begin....

-In the throne room of Adam's castle-

Isabella still sat in shock, her mouth open in horror. There before sat the Devil incarnate. If she was still a toddler, she would have peed her pants. Any comfort she felt was now gone and replaced by unspeakable horror. This was the figure she had been having dreams about. She now regreted not having told her Mommy or Daddy about the dreams. This was the being that would do bad things to her if she didn't do what he said. Then there was the woman with the gold eyes. She was always hanging around the demon, as if she worshipped him. He wanted her power. The power that Daddy and Lunus told her to tell no one about. The power that would make Mommy cry.

Adam spoke to her as if she were a person, and not a child.

"I promise you Isabella, you will be happy once the Cetran City is reborn. You will see what your special power can create."

"I don't have any power." She replied, suddenly gaining a little confidence.

"Sure you don't." He said sarcastically, as he stood up from where he was sitting across from her.

He had been trying to get as much information out of her as he could, but with no success. Jareth had taught his child well. But he wasn't about to give up. He would have her power, no matter what.

"See them washing
Hearts with teardrops
Bless these simple souls
Baby soldiers
Marching onward
Watch their hopeless eyes"

Shea, Lili, and company were on the borders outside of the Singing Forest by nightfall. Their first day had been very quiet. Lili and Shea were discussing the overall plan to get Isabella, but other than that there ws no conversation. They dropped their stuff and set up camp once they had reached outside the forest. Lili, Ava Lee and Raven were in one tent. And Shea and Jack were in another.

While setting up the tents, Ava Lee felt a wierd presence. Being a Guado, her senses were heightened. Se felt as if she were being watched.

"Lili." She called.

Lili got up from the campfire and came to Ava.

"I feel something really wierd. Not evil, but just odd." Ava whispered.

"Ok, I'll tell Shea. Just keep an eye out." Lili replied.

Ava nodded, but she wasn't satisfied. Something was following them, something elusive.

"Whitewashed liars
Stupid teachers
Blinded are these broken dreamers
Little rulers
Who will teach them time ... time"

The person who was watching the company made no move, even when he heard the Guado talking about him. He would have to make his presence known soon, then things would get interesting. He would lead the group either to victory or their doom.

-Back in the Labyrinth-

Jareth and Sarah spent most of the day in each other's arms, trying to find comfort. All of their children were out in danger, and there was nothing they could do about it. If Shea really had cast a spell taught by Lunus, then they really were on their own out there. He knew Adam was alive. He could feel it. He didn't dare tell Sarah, although she already knew about Shanna. But at least Lili and Shea weren't alone. They had Ava Lee Guado, Raven Locke, and Jack Enix with them. The three finest family names in the Underground. But as he sat in his study, he couldn't help thinking that he and Sarah were not totally helpless in the situation.

"No, don't fade away, No, don't fade away
No, don't fade away

Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky
Oh my, am I high
Is that a glow up in the sky"
