Hey all! Usual disclaimer, don't own Jareth blah blah blah. The song in this chapter is Taking Over Me by Evanescence. After writing the last chapter, I've decided to shift the story form what I was originally going to write. So the rest of the story should be pretty interesting considering what I'm going to do with it…. Hehehe. On with the story.

"You don't remember me but I remember you

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you

but who can decide what they dream?

And dream I do..."

"Oh my God.... Lunus."

Lili stood in shock. Her mentor was standing in front of her holding her two companions. Lunus carefully put Jake and Ava down on the ground and brushed himself off.

"So you are the one that has been following us!" Shea exclaimed.

"Yes Shea, forgive me for giving you a fright." Lunus said simply.

"What the hell are you doing here? Did mom and dad send you?" Lili asked sounding a little annoyed.

"No my child. I figured as soon as you found out that your sister was kidnapped that you would go after her. I have taught you for the past 7 years. I know you two well enough. You would go without anyone knowing, trying to prove yourself as always. But I also knew that you weren't ready to go on your own. There are things in the Underground that still exist from the War that could kill you in seconds. I am simply here to aid you. Your parents know nothing of my being here." Lunus explained.

Neither Lili nor Shea were completely convinced that he was simply there to help them. Lunus was too crafty and he kept many secrets to himself. There had to be something he was hiding.

"So what happened to Ava and Jack?" Raven finally spoke.

"Jack and Ava both passed out from shock of seeing me."

Lili and Shea both exchanged looks of disbelief. There was something to unsettling of Lunus being there. And soon they would get to the bottom of it. They would leave Sachiel Lake in the morning and head for Bevelle.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe y

You're taking over me"


Isabella was looking out her window. Noticing for the first time the true beauty of the dead city before her. She had thought a lot about what happened only a few hours ago. Waking up and finding herself years older than what she had gone to sleep as. But she couldn't stop thinking about her mom and dad. She missed them so much. Sarah was always so nurturing to her, as every mother should be. She even looked like her mother. And even though he was king, her dad never put his work before his family. She missed them so much. She twirled her now curly brown hair. What was she going to do? She didn't like Adam at all. He kidnapped her mother and tried to kill both her parents. But there was something about him. Something was drawing her to him. He was very attractive but insanely evil. Wait, attractive???? When did that come into her mind? She slapped herself on the forehead and buried her head in her hands. This wasn't good. All of a sudden there was a knock on her door. It was Shanna. Her purple hair was pulled into a lavish ponytail and her makeup was done just so.

"Well Isabella, how are we feeling today?"

Isabella didn't reply. She just kept staring out the window. Shanna sneered and walked towards her.

"Look Shanna, I really don't want to deal with you right now. So just beat it." Isabella spat.

"Ohhhh, that's not very nice Princess." Shanna replied.

She walked behind Isabella and started to play with her hair. Isabella fumed. She jumped up from her spot near the window and ran out of her room. She didn't know where she was running, but she ran and ran and didn't stop until she reached a garden of some sort. The garden was overgrown with weeds. But it was enormous. At one point in time, it must have been beautiful. There was a little pond with clear water. Something inside her caused her body to jerk. She closed her eyes and shook her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother. Sarah was sitting beside the pond with her feet in the water; she was gazing out at the city. Then she started to cry, but her tears were silent. It killed Isabella to she her mother cry, or just to see her mother at all. Suddenly arms closed themselves around her and her mother's image disappeared.

"Have you forgotten all I know and all we had?

You saw me mourning my love for you

and touched my hand I knew you loved me then"


Sarah loved the feeling of the wind in her hair. She felt so free in the air. And of the course the smell of her husband wafting into her nose was a welcome thing too. She grasped his waist tighter as they soared a little higher in the air. She buried her face into the back of his shoulder. God she missed her kids. She felt betrayed. Lili and Shea had completely lied to her and Jareth and took off. She knew they meant well for their sister, but they were only fourteen. If only they could have found Lunus… "Sarah."

Sarah jumped at the sound of her name. It was Jareth.

"We're about to land my love. Hold on tight." He said.

Sarah looked below her to find the beautiful city of Bevelle. She held tighter to Jareth. Seymour and Yuna would help them…

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

you're taking over me"



Isabella jumped at the feeling of arms around her. She spun out of them and looked behind her. It was Adam. He bowed courteously and smiled at her.

" I am sorry to have startled you. But I saw you out here alone. It reminded me of when your mother was here."

He walked around her and walked to the pond. He squatted down and dipped his fingers in the water.

"She loved this pond. Come see." He said, motioning for her to come over to him.

She did reluctantly. She sat next to him and looked into the water. The water was the clearest she had ever seen. On the floor of the pond were all kinds of colorful coral and rocks. And swimming in the pond was all kinds of vibrant, tropical fish. It was so beautiful for being so small. Isabella was enchanted. She was also very surprised. The man squatting next to her was the Devil, no doubt. But he was showing a side that was so contrary to what he was. He was being so warm and tender. He smiled as some of the fish nipped at his fingers. He turned to her and gave her a smile of her own. Then his eyes locked on to hers. And she couldn't look away. No matter what, she couldn't look away from the black eyes that bore into hers. In her mind, she couldn't see anything but flashes of him. And his voice rang in her mind. His voice was telling her things that she tried so hard to push out.

"He's taking you over Bella! RUN YOU IDIOT!!!" Her mind screamed.

But she couldn't. She couldn't run. He was taking her over.

"I look in the mirror and see your face

if I look deep enough so many things inside

that are just like you are taking over"



The sun was rising over Sachiel Lake, and Shea hadn't slept all night. He had kept his eye on Lunus all night, wondering what the Mage was up to. But now that the sun was up, they were going to leave for Bevelle. When they reached Bevelle, they would restock supplies and cross over what used to be the Phantom Regions. So Shea sat near the shore of the lake and waited for everyone to wake up and get motivated.

"Hey." Came a voice.

It was Lili. She sat next to him on the grass and gave him a semi smile.

"What's up punk?" She asked, giving him a playful punch on the arm.

"Nothing. I'm just wondering what in God's name Lunus is doing here. It just doesn't make sense. You know just as well as I do that he would never let us come this far. He would have dragged our asses back to the Labyrinth and mom and dad would have gone after Bella." Shea replied.

"I know, it seems so weird that he would just show up now, and not have shown himself sooner. He just simply wants to 'aid' us? I don't think so. We just have to keep a sharp eye on him."

Shea nodded in agreement, then said:

"Alright, let's get to it. I just hope we can get our gear and be in the Phantom regions by nightfall."

The twins motivated the team and the headed for Bevelle. The whole morning, everyone had their eye on Lunus. He took no notice and just kept walking. Ava and Jack exchanged weird glances every now and then. They saw something in Lunus no one else did. After a few hours of awkward silence and walking, the company reached Bevelle. Not knowing the surprises that awaited them.

"I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

you're taking over me"



Adam left Isabella in her room, sleeping. His plan was going so perfect. She had done exactly what he had wanted her to. He knew she couldn't stand Shanna. And in truth, neither could he. But he sent her running to the place her mother had run to. But Isabella wasn't a fighter like Sarah was. Sarah was strong, but too stubborn. And back then; he was to blind to see that it wasn't Sarah he belonged with, but her daughter. Isabella was born with something special. She was the only one who could birth his children. He was a God. Not just any woman could bear his child. But Isabella wasn't a woman, yet. But now she was his. His plan with the garden had gone smoothly. She let him into her mind easily and now she was under his control. Sarah had never let him in that easily. But Isabella would wake up completely infatuated with him. Which made his life a little easier. Now the hard part was waiting for her to be of age. He could never take a child like that. Even for him. The Devil doesn't take innocence like that. Now the hard part was getting rid of Shanna, Jareth, and Sarah. Shanna was just annoying and Jareth would soon be coming for his daughter, along with the whole motley crew. But he would deal with that when the time came. He sat down on his throne and relaxed for the first time in fourteen years.

So what do we all think?? Reviews please!
