And yet another long period of time that I haven't updated. With no reviews, I don't seem to have the energy to keep going. But then I get a random review and I get happy and creative again. The song is My Heartstrings Come Undone by Demon Hunter. Don't own Jareth, the Labyrinth, the Cetran City, or Sarah. But I own everything else.

"It's buried deep within the past , i hope it doesn't last
It's something i already chased, i already chased
I try to give it all away, but it's never gonna fade
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face"

The band of teenagers had been traveling for a few days, when they finally reached the Sachiel Lake. Ava Lee was still getting the feelings of being followed, but shook them off. If something was following them, they would deal wit it when the time came. The company had been very quiet over the past few days. Shea and Lili were still trying to finalize the plan on how to go into the Cetran City without being noticed. The cloaking spell they used would wear off by the time they reached the City. A bunch of teenagers walking around a dead city did seem to be pretty obvious. They would need a way of walking around without being noticed. When they did finally reach Sachiel Lake near sundown of their fourth day, they decided to rest for the night. Jack and Ava Lee went hunting, while the others set up camp.

Ava Lee, armed with a bow and arrow, carefully and quietly wandered through the darkening meadows and forests bordering Sachiel Lake. Jack was ahead of her. He turned around and whispered that he was going ahead deeper into the forest. She nodded in acknowledgement and looked around her. Her Guado ears perked when they hear a twig snap. She whirled behind her, pointing her arrow in the direction of the sound. She lowered it when she realized nothing was there. She sighed.

"You're going crazy Ava." She said softly to herself.

Ava turned around again to catch up with Jack, and the last thing she saw before passing out was a set of glowing blue eyes.

"I know you feel it's all the same, but I promise that i'll change
It's something i already chased, i already chased
You know i'm trying to believe that you're never gonna leave
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face"

The figure that now stood over a passed out Ava Lee bent down and picked her up. He could see her face in the moonlight from under his cloak hood, and she was very pale. He started to head towards the camp, moving ever so quietly and slowly. He stopped when he heard the sound of breathing behind him.

"If you would like to live to see the sunlight, I suggest you put the lady down."

It was Jack. He had the tip of his sword pointed at the back of the strangers' head. The stranger fully turned around and drew back his cloak hood with his free hand. It was now Jacks' turn to faint.

"Where in the Underground are Jack and Ava? I'm starving and cold." Raven Locke complained.

Shea, Lili, and Raven were huddled around a fire. The three of them starving and concerned. It had been hours since Jack and Ava had gone hunting.

"Maybe they got lost." Shea said.

The women looked at each other and then at the fire. Lili didn't even want to think about losing them and her sister. It was all too much. She was brought out of her reverie when an indistinct sound came in the distance near the forest. It wasn't a normal sound at all. All three armed themselves in a flash. Shea as armed with a sword, Lili and Raven with bows and arrows. Lili's heart rate sped up. She had never been in combat before. She didn't even know if this would be a combat battle. It was probably just an animal. But she didn't want to waste the adrenaline running through her veins. Whatever it was, it was moving closer. It soon came into view, and it was holding two bodies. They were the bodies of Jack and Ava.

When the figure fully came into view, the three teens stood in awe.

"Oh my God.... Lunus."

"There's nothing left! The fear is gone
Oh, my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before i make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you"

Jareth was packing his bags. He refused to stand by helplessly while his children were out in the wilderness, risking their lives. It was his responsibility to get Isabella back and they recklessly left without telling him. Sirus had arrived as promised, and wasn't very happy about his daughter's sudden departure. He hadn't blamed Jareth and Sarah, but was very angry. Mech'elle was going to take over the kingdom's affairs while they were away. They were going to travel by giant Eagles. They were going to Bevelle to get things straightened out with the Guado's then try and find the teens. But if they were still under the cloaking spell taught to them by Lunus, it would be very difficult to find them.

"Jareth?" a soft voice came from behind.

It was Sarah. And she was ready. She was dressed for a lengthy trip, with a small pack of clothes on her back.

"I'm almost ready Sarah. And when I get my hands on those kids...." He said, suddenly growing angry.

After crying all he could that his kids left him, he grew angrier and less sad. Sarah gently put her hands on his face and kissed him softly. She looked in his eyes and smiled for the first time in days.

"Don't worry love, it will all work out. Right now I just want all of my children back."

"You're right Sarah. Let's go get our kids."

Jareth and Sarah walked hand in hand to where Sirus was waiting for the in the main hall and then to the stables in the Goblin City to where the Eagles were kept. Within minutes they were in the air on their way to Bevelle.

"I know i'm not the perfect one, the pain has just begun
It's something i already chased, i already chased
You bring me to a better path, it's everything i asked
It's something i don't wanna face, i don't wanna face"

Isabella awoke in her room. A room she had gotten to know quite well in the past few days. She got up and walked to her bathroom, did he business, then walked to her window. On the way to the window was a full-length mirror. She glimpsed at her reflection and did a double take. She looked at herself in shock.

"Oh my God." She whispered.

She had aged. Yesterday, she was six years old. Today she looked 13. Her hair had grown out, she was taller, and she was growing breasts. She turned to the side and stuck out her chest. She looked at herself in confusion. Her complexion was a milk color and she looked like a slightly younger Lili. There was a sudden knock on her door.

A man walked in, a man who looked to be in his early thirties, with long black hair in a ponytail. His eyes were a pure velvet black color and his skin was an ivory color.

"Well my sweet Bella, did you sleep well?"

"Who are you? And what happened to me???"

The man chuckled.

"You don't recognize me? Well of course you don't. It's me, Adam. Just fully healed."

Adam smiled pure venom. Isabella thought she was going to be sick. How could someone so handsome be so evil?

"What happened to me!" She cried.

"My dear, you are aging. As if you couldn't tell. You need to be at least in your teen years before you can use your power."

Isabella started to cry. She was so confused.

"Why do you need my power? It's of no use to you!"

"You don't know your true power do you? You don't know what you're capable of."

"My power is to heal people okay! That's it! I can't do anything else!" She started to scream.

"Isabella, you have so much more than that. You were born special. You were made for me, and I was made for you. You will bear my child."

Isabella slumped to the floor horrified. None of this made sense. Less than a week ago, she was rolling in the mud and being a six year old. But she wasn't thinking like a six year old. She realized she had a bigger vocabulary and the thought of playing house revolted her. But it still made no sense, she had to bear this guy's kid? Adam kneeled before her.

"I thought it was your mother I was destined for, but when she defeated me...after she gave birth to your siblings, I knew she wasn't the one. And it wasn't Lili. It was you. Do you know who you were named after? Whose footsteps you follow?"

"What about Shanna? Isn't she your girlfriend?"

Adam laughed a deep laugh.

"That's what she thinks. She is just a sort of helper. It's you that can make the perfect future for the Underground work out."

"But how? This doesn't make any sense! I'm six years old!"

"It will be clearer soon. And no you're not. Being the chosen one, and being in the Ancient City has sped up your aging process. You are now 14 years old. In a few days, you will be 18. Wait till your parents and siblings see you, they are on their way to see you."

"Yeah well when they get here, my family will kick your ass."

Adam smiled, kissed her forehead, and left the room. He locked the door. Isabella ran to her bed and sobbed. She didn't understand...when it suddenly hit her. If this creep was telling the truth, she would give birth to the son of Satan.

"There's nothing left! The fear is gone
There's nothing left! The fear is gone
Oh, my heartstrings come undone
I will wait for you, pray for you
Before i make my final run
I will stay with you, decay with you"

Okay, what do we think? I know Isabella giving birth is kind of weird, but I am going somewhere with this story. And if she does give birth, she WILL be over 18, so it's not like child molestation or anything. So don't flame or sue me! Oh and for what I'm going for in the way Adam looks in this story.... think Richard Roxburgh as Dracula in Van Helsing. Reviews are nice!
