Chapter 2
Don't own Labyrinth
Jareth grabbed Sarah's arm and kissed every inch of it where it was cut. "I really am sorry. I just wanted something I didn't understand. My whole life has been violent. I learned that you get whatever you want by using violence." He was making himself frantic with the thought that he almost killed the one person he could ever care about. "I didn't…I wasn't…Oh, God, Sarah!"
Sarah gathered his strong body close as they fell to the ground on their knees. She pulled his head to her breast smoothing his hair and rubbing his back. "I know. I know. Hush now, love. Everything will be all right. Everything is going to be just fine."
Sarah sat on the floor with her back to the wall, head below the window, while cradling Jareth the almighty, world-feared, Goblin King to her breast, rocking him and hushing him.
Finally she felt Jareth's arms glide around her waist, holding her almost protectively in his strong arms while taking comfort in her gentle caresses.
When Sarah thought Jareth was asleep she began to sing the one song she remembered the most from her time with Jareth in his Labyrinth. Although Jareth still listened.
She smiled for a moment.
Oh, how you turn my world
You precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust
Me.
Everything I've done I've
Done for you. – I see that now.
I move the stars for no
One. – Sorry I asked for so much.
You've come so far
You've run so long. – I never should have run from you.
Your eyes can be so cruel. –I never meant to be.
Just as I can be so cruel-
Sarah's voice broke on the last word and she paused for a moment. A silent tear fell down her face. She was beginning to feel tired. She really wanted to hear the end of the song. That was when she finally figured out that she loved him.
As she began to sleep she heard his wonderful voice finish the song for her.
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
-(I was talking about what would happen and how you'd feel if you left me and somehow I think you knew)
I-a-a-ah, can't live within you.
"And that's when I knew you wouldn't give up your brother. Even if you had loved me." He moved so that he was now holding her. He kissed her brow softly. "I love you, my Sarah."
