Chapter 3 – The Beginning
Brad looked at the large wall in front of him that seemed to block off any access to this strange world, that he was apparently in. He wasn't even totally convinced this was real. It's got to be a dream. But as hard as he tried, he could not wake himself up. Oh well, I guess I could give it a shot.
Jareth watched Brad amusingly. That boy could never make it through my Labyrinth. He mine as well give up now. That's fine with me. Sarah will be mine forever.
Just then Jareth heard music floating through the castle. He followed the sound and began to sing subconsciously.
"There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes"
Jareth wandered into the Ball Room. The very same Ball Room he had fabricated in Sarah's peach-induced fantasy. There she stood, with a crystal ball in her hand, emitting the music. Then with one swift movement, she threw the ball in the air and it popped sending glitter down, which changed Sarah into the clothes she had on in her fantasy. It also changed Jareth into the same attire from her fantasy.
"There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart"
Jareth slowly approached her and she just smiled, urging him on. He was completely spellbound by her. He didn't bother to question how she could use the crystal ball with no magic of her own. All he knew is that he wanted her.
"As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down
Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling in love"
Jareth moved closer to Sarah, but she just turned and walked away into a fog, so that he couldn't see her. I will not give up that easily, my dear Sarah.
"I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars"
Jareth wandered around the fog searching for this captivating woman.
"Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
(down) Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling"
Then, all of a sudden, Jareth was grabbed from behind and spun around. Before he knew what was happening, a set of firm, yet delicate lips, crashed into his.
"Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
(down) Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling in love (love)
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love"
Jareth was lost in ecstasy, his eyes closed to enjoy the moment, and just when he thought he couldn't stand it anymore, she broke the kiss. The next thing he knew, a voice whispered into his ear, "No matter what you do, Goblin King, I will always be your weakness. Remember that." Jareth opened his eyes to protest, but she was gone, along with the decorations of the ballroom.
The students watched in amazement at the spell that Sarah, the so-called loser, had over this great and powerful king. They were even more amazed when she disappeared into a burst of glitter right in front of their eyes. They had no clue what to do, knowing that they had invaded this private moment. Just as they were about to run, two multi-colored eyes focused on them and grew dark.
