Chapter 1 A Question, and an answer

A gust of wind was blowing through the Labyrinth letting its inhabitants know of the foul mood their master was in. It had been a year since Sarah had beaten Jareth, yet he would still fuss over it and make everyone around him suffer.

"If this keeps up we may not be living here for very long in the Labyrinth. It's worse than ever now that he doesn't keep up with it." Said Hoggle to Ludo and Didymus. " You know we can't leave here for Sarah's sake and even if we do, where would we go?" replied Didymus. " Ludo miss Sarah," wailed the big giant. They all sighed together. After the party at her house Sarah had only called to them six times before forgetting them completely.

They all looked up at the sky and noticed that the stars that usually adorned the sky were fading from view as if a dark invisible cloud were covering it up. Hoggle shivered involuntarily, " This doesn't seem right to me. Even when Jareth was really upset, this never happened to the sky before. EVER!" Didymus and Ludo also shivered.

"I'sheard about this before. This only happened when the Labyrinth was almost lost during the great war." said Hoggle trying to warm himself as another gust of wind blasted him. " Let us just hope for the best," said Didymus.

" Why can't I get her out of my head!" he shouted infuriatingly at nothing. Jareth slumped back onto his throne. The goblins that had been in the throne room had fled. They may be stupid, but even they knew when their king was in a bad mood.

For the fourth time this week he had been sulking at the memory of what had happened a year ago between Sarah and himself. He sat up in his chair and materialized a crystal allowing him to see what she was doing at that very moment.

In the crystal Sarah was reading to Toby her little brother and tickling him when he tried to get away from her. Seeing her smile made him growl and throw the crystal violently to the floor smashing it into a million pieces. " She goes on with her life as if nothing happens!" he shouted angrily. "She doesn't even know the pain that she caused me when she said those words," he thought.

As he sat there brooding over this a figure entered in through the doorway making Jareth start. He looked up to see his father Darres.

" You know my son there will always be a fine line between hatred and love but how you want to perceive that line is what matters," his father stated. Jareth sighed knowing that his father was here to lecture him on the way that he was treating the Labyrinth. " Yes father I know so go on get this lecturing over with so that I can go back to my own life."

Now it was Darres's turn to sigh, " That's not why I'm here" Jareth looked straight at his father. "Now there's a shock. I could always tell what he wanted to talk to me about." He thought. " It's about this obsession over this girl. What was her name? Ah yes Sarah." He stated. Jareth froze and spun away from his father. " I wish not to speak of her and you should respect that wish and disappear like you did once before in my life," he stated icily. His father groaned. " You're still as stubborn as ever, which leaves me no choice but to let you know that I'm going to turn you into a human."

Again Jareth spun around this time to face his father in complete and utter shock. " W-what did you just say father?" He asked to stunned for much words. " You heard me right son. It is time to see if you truly love this girl or not so that you can get over it and get on with your life. I will not have you ruin the family heritage by all of your annoying brooding."

His father took a box the size of a fist and opened it wide. The sound of sucking could be heard and an owl flew out of Jareth into the box. A wave of dizziness passed over him after the box was shut on the owl that was furiously trying to get out. What's happening, he thought, I've never felt this way before. Not since... Sarah defeated me.

"You'll pay for that dearly father," Jareth stated, his voice oddly raspy. He tried to conjure up a crystal ball when he noticed that he couldn't do that. He tried once more but there was still no orb in his hand. " What did you do to me?" he asked once again stunned to the bone.

" I have taken your Fey magic so that you are nothing more but a mere mortal in this realm now." Jareth was just about to shout at his father when a feeling of sleepiness washed over him. Darres caught his son as he slid to the floor. " Rest well my son, for when you awake you will encounter the woman that confuses you so," he whispered.

" Sarah, is Toby sleeping yet?" asked her father. " Yeah I managed to get the little monster to fall asleep," she said jokingly. In truth after her ordeal in the Labyrinth she felt more protective of him than her father or her stepmother for that matter. " Good because your father and I are going out to a friends house for the weekend. Make sure to look after Toby and call us if you need anything," her stepmother said.

After she had come back from the Labyrinth she had made amends with Karen and had even found out that they could get along without wanting to rip each other's throats out. " Okay see you in two days. Have fun and be safe," she said seeing them off. Two hours later she was in her room thinking about the past. "I wonder how Hoggle and the others are? I think that I should call them since I haven't had much time to do so."

As she was about to get up to go to her mirror she hear a heavy thump outside of her closed door. Her curiosity got the better of her and she went to go outside to go check what had made the noise. When she saw what had made the noise she almost fainted dead away. Outside of her door was her enemy the Goblin King who was unconscious. "Either someone down in the underground really hates me. Or this is all just a baaad dream." She thought. When he moved slightly she started and looked down at his sleeping form. "What should I do?" She struggled for a few minutes on what to decide until she finally made up her mind to just drag him into her room. Unknown to her she and Jareth were being watched by his dad. " Now is the time where you decide what she means to you, and make the right decision."

A.N: So how did you like it people. If you give me more reviews I promise not too keep you in the dark for too long. (grins evilly). I would also like to thank lilnovelist for the review. Here's an excerpt of the next chapter for you.

. "She's acting very different now that I'm here. Then again, so am I." He started to chuckle softly so that no one would hear him.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Sarah had made breakfast and was about to bring it into the living room to see if he wanted some when she felt an evil presence around her. She shivered when a light wind blew in from the open window making her hair wrap around her face.

When she moved the strands of hair from her face she saw that a man was standing in front of her with a smirk on his face. "So you're Sarah Williams." It wasn't a question, but a statement. Sarah backed up a few steps and dropped the plate of food she had in shock at what he had said.

Who is this guy? while she was thinking this the stranger advanced on her until she was trapped in a corner. "Who are you?" Sarah asked fear lacing slightly into her voice. "My name is Tory, and I am Jareth's cousin. You're going to help me with something."
