Disclaimer; I quit when it comes to these!

YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! OBVIOUSLY I HAVEN'T LEFT YET! AND YOU GUYS ARE SO NICE. I AM CHOOSING TO IGNORE THEM, AND BECAUSE I JUST GOT OVER 100 REVIEWS, I'M TYPING MORE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A VERY NASTY FORM OF STREP THROAT. JOY. HERE GOES A VERY LONG CHAPTER. Okay, I wrote that yesterday. Um. I'm stopping writing for a while until I get all this typed, so k I'm going going gone.



"She won't Sarah. Anton wasn't murdered, he was executed for betrayal. That is what is written in the history documents. Only you and I will ever know that I killed him. I'm surprised your 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. "Oh, I've found a weak spot in your defense. How the mighty have fallen. Come Sarah, join me again and you'll never have to deal with the torment of pain." He said silkily. She looked at him blankly.

"And if I refuse?"

"Your daughter will marry me to spite you." She threw back her head and laughed heartily.

"Jareth, she's my daughter. You want to know why I find your "revenge" quote on quote so incredibly amusing?"

"No, actually I do not."

"Too bad dear. It's incredibly amusing for several reasons. One, Ana wouldn't marry you even if she had the option. Two, you're acting like a little kid. I solved your labyrinth, and then you couldn't have me because I chose Anton. Oh poor goblin king, two big dents in your ego. And you think by scaring me into marriage that the dent will disappear?" she shook her head. "Poor naïve Goblin King."

"I have Ana."

"Correction. You have the product of Anton's love for me. She would destroy you. Every time you lay eyes on her she would bring 'horrible' memories of my being with Anton. And she will find out that you killed my Anton too." Sarah sneered.

"I'll give her to you if you like."

"And your angle is?" Sarah said penitently.

"I want one kiss of free will." She looked at him skeptically, as if considering it, then a light seemed to blink in her eyes.

"No. Way. In. Hell." She laughed at him.

"The only way to get her back is to let me get what I want."

"Today's lesson: How to please egotistical con artists who happen to be obsessed with SOCKS!" she said sarcastically. He walked up to her, bent down, and placed a soft kiss on her lips. His arms slid around her waist, and his tongue delved into her mouth, exploring the depth. She responded hesitantly, running her tongue along his lower lip. He moaned. She pulled away.

'Give her back." She said softly. Their eyes locked for a moment, then she looked away.

"I know you liked that Sarah, don't deny it." He smiled mockingly.

"Yes, and if I didn't hate you more then anything for stealing my daughter and murdering my husband, then hey, we could be friends." She said curtly. "Give Ana back to me now."

"I should kill her for that comment."

"I dare you." She returned his little grin. He glared, waved his hand, and held a face of triumph as Ana's limp body went flying at Sarah. She fell at the force. She sighed, smiling.

"Aw, Jareth didn't want to play truth or dare with me. Looks like I should go." She waved at him, then disappeared with Ana.

**** Kindari had watched the entire argument.

"Anyone who didn't' know them wouldn't be able to tell which was the villain." He said casually to no one in particular.

**** About an hour later.. Sarah pressed a cool, wet cloth to Ana''s head. Her eyelids fluttered.

"Mom? Where are we?" she asked weakly. Sarah smiled softly. "Where's Jareth?"

"We're at home. Jareth is in his kingdom. He poisoned you with the rose sweetie." Ana sat up fully awake.

"NO! WHY DID YOU TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM? HE LOVES ME!" she yelled angrily.

"No sweetheart, he loves me. He took my baby other a long time ago and made me run his damn labyrinth to save him. In the process, we fell in love. I had to leave though, and save Toby. A few days later, Kindari kidnapped-"

"kidnapped? What are you telling this girl Sarah? Really! All I did was give you a nudge out of reality." Kindari said, walking up from behind Sarah. Sarah coughed sarcastically.

"Uh-huh. Well this, "nudge" made me go talk to Jareth, who refused my love then. So I met Anton and fell in love with him. I married him, and we were inseperable. Jareth obligated Anton to go to a masque, and he danced with me and kissed me. I slapped him, and he killed Anton. He's been trying to get into my good graces ever since."

"No mom, he loves me. He cares about me." She said defiantly. She looked to Kindari to support her.

"Sarah speaks the truth. I am not getting involved with this fight though."

"NO!" she shouted. "YOU"RE LYING!"

"Sweetheart, please try to understand.." Sarah spoke softly. Ana ran from the room, leaving her nothing to do but sigh deeply.

"It's a good thing she has no magic yet." Kindari said, looking at where Ana had left the room.

"Why won't she believe me." He sat down next to her and put an arm around her and she leaned into his shoulder.

"She'll be fine. Funny though, she's exactly as you were, naïve. You thought Jareth hated you, she thinks he loves her. I just don't understand what good he thinks it will do to pretend to love Ana. You're all he wants." He said. Sarah looked at him.

"Are you even suggesting that I give into that vile excuse for a being?" she said softly, yet firmly.

"Of course not Sarah." Was his quick reply.

"But you just said -"

"Hush." He kissed her forehead softly, and then kissed her lips tenderly. **** Ana had run out to her horse Lightwing. She whistled, and Lightwing trotted over. Ana jumped on.

"To Jareth's kingdom!" she said quietly. The midnight black horse paused, as if to say "Are you sure?". Ana patted her neck reassuringly. The mare turned quickly and galloped off, but not unnoticed. A sercant boy had heard the horse galloping and he rushed to the window.

ENOUGH FOR NOW REVIEW! Aren't I so sweet. Actually, I think I have time to write, scratch that, type a little more as I eat this garlic bread. I am very very proud of this time I do have. Only another fifteen minutes or so though, just because I have to do an extra credit assignment to make up for the near failing greek goddess assignment. (you guys owe me. I was typing instead of researching artemis)

ANYWAYS, enough of my moaning and griping and without further adieu (uh huh however you spell it) more of thI SCHAPTER

He rushed to the window just in time to see Ana depart. His tiny blue eyes widened and he dropped the silver tray he'd been carrying. The sound echoed through the hall as he ran up a small fleet of stairs to Ana's door.

"Queen Sarah! Ana's leaving the kingdom!' he cried out. The two looked up to see the small child's shoulders leaving. Sarah rolled out a crystal, knowing it should take Ana near an hour or two to get out of the kingdom without any 'mishaps' that might occur along the way.

"Sarah, perhaps now isn't the best time to try to calm her down." Kindari said. She didn't break her eyes from the light emerald crystal.

"Thank you shaine, you may take the day off." The boy bowed and left the room.



Okay, that's really enough for now. BYE REVIEW

C YA

My next chapter will have lots of crap in it. It will have a poem of darkness by me, and a little me/Jareth infamous episode.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say a me/Jareth episode, read my other stories. They're all at the end, I have a bit of fun.)
