15 Years after Anton's murder..
The sun flew overhead flooding streams of light into Sarah's room. A shadow crept to the door and opened it silently. Sarah's eyes popped open, then she closed them, knowing that someone was there. The figure slunk to the queen's bedside. Sarah jumped up and attacked her from the side. Anastasia shrieked as she was tackled mercilessly to the ground. Her face twisted into a pouting expression, and Sarah laughed.
"Mother, how did you know it was me?" she whined. Sarah grinned.
"Because my little Ana, mothers are never wrong. Good morning to you too." She rolled her eyes sarcastically. Ana snorted, then her face changed to that of a child wanting a favor from it's parents. Sarah stood.
"Whatever it is, the answer is no."
"Mo-on! I wanted to know if I'm old enough to know about dad yet." Sarah sighed. Ever since Ana had played with the wood nymphs, she knew she had a great father, and her curiosity could not be condemned.
"I suppose, but this is hard for me Ana, and it's not a fairy tale. He didn't die heroically, I killed him." Ana's eyes widened in shock. "No sweetie, not like that. I suppose I should tart at the beginning. You know Jareth the Goblin King, do you not?"
"Mother, I danced with him at the last masque. He wore a blue coat with black pants, and his hair was streaked blue. I was a butterfly, remember?" Sarah's eyes widened in anger. She clenched a fist.
"That manipulative bastard!"
"Mother!" she exclaimed. Her mother never swore! Something couldn't be right.
"Here's the short truth. Jareth murdered Anton 15 years ago, and he hasn't paid for his crime yet, but he will." Ana's eyes brimmed with tears.
"B-but he was so nice to me. He asked me if you were angry. I said I didn't know what he was talking about. He kissed me with a sad smile on his face. I tried to find him later, but he left I think. He couldn't have killed my father. Why?" she said shakily.
Sarah had a flame in her eye now. She grabbed Ana's arm and they vanished. They reappeared in a dusty throne room. Sarah took a deep breath.
"JARETH!!!" she yelled angrily. "No need to shout Sarah, and hello Ana. Good to see you again." He murmured.
"Put your claws back in Jareth! You were sneaky last time. You ventured to her when I wasn't present. Tell her what you did 15 years ago! She doesn't believe me!" Sarah spat.
"I exiled my ex-friend for stealing the only person I've ever loved." He replied calmly. He walked to wards her. She waved a hand and a bow with and iron arrow appeared aimed at him.
"Okay you arrogant swine, tell her the truth or I will. Then you won't lie." Ana looked at her.
"Mother, you said father was murdered by Jareth."
"Dear Ana, I don't have anything to do with murder. As I said, Anton was my friend, my only real one. And to be blamed for his death I am deeply insulted. Sarah, you've worn out your welcome." Ana walked over to Jareth, who rested his arm on her shoulder.
"Ana! No! he killed Anton!" Sarah cried out desperately. Jareth waved his hand and a silver rose appeared. It had very large thorns and he pricked Ana's finger purposefully when he handed it to her. Immediately her body went limp. He called a crystal and transported Ana's body to another room. Sarah was about to let go of the arrow, but he held up a hand and the weapon disappeared. Her hands were bound in iron chains.
"Now Sarah, if you kill me, you'll never see dear Ana again. And with her being the only heir, what would happen should you die?"
"You lowly chauvenist bastard! You had this planned all along!" His smirk grew wider on her face.
"Of course. For an entire fifteen years I had to plot out something. Setting your own daughter against you was a great start. I supposed if I married her, I would be ruler of the Labyrinth and the Enchanted Forest."
"And where do I fit into this plan?" she spat. He ran a hand through his hair then walked up to her. He leaned down and kissed her harshly. She tried to pulll away, but couldn't. She was now servant to his will. His trademark smirk was on his face. She glared at him.
"Don't you dare do that again." She snapped. He arched a sleek brow.
"Another dare? Oh Sarah you're so predictable." He kissed her neck. "But anyhow Sarah, I prefer willing women. Your daughter will do nicely. I can marry her, gain her love, produce an heir tob oth kingdoms, then have her mysteriously vanish. I will tire of her sooner or later, but I'm always here for you Sarah. Our game I will never tire of."
He laughed cruelly and vanished. She stood there, unable to move.
"Let me go!" she screamed at the air. As if he heard her, the chain unlocked itself and disappeared. Jareth stood in a dark doorway.
"I will grant you that request, but expect no other favors unless you're willing to pay for them." He smiled devilishly. She glared at him.
"You lied to her. When she finds out-"
"She won't Sarah. Anton wasn't murdered, he was executed for betrayel. That is what is written in the history documents. Only you and I will ever know that I killed him. I'm surprised yoyur guilt hasn't killed you yet. If you remember correctly, you were the reason I killed him all those years ago." Tears fell from her cheeks involuntarily. Okee dokee.
