AN: I'm so sorry for not updating sooner but I was having problems with my computer. Well anyways thank you for my reviews and here is another chapter enjoy!

Disclaimer: I hate having to do this thing over and over but I do not own the Labyrinth only Tory and Darres.

Chapter 4 Everything has a price

Darres saw the change coming from Sarah, and he could also feel the tremendous magic that rolled off of her in waves. She is quite powerful. She may even be stronger than everyone in this room combined! However she does not know how to control it yet, or does she? as Darres was puzzling over this he did not notice that they were no longer in the room but in a field somewhere within the borders of Tory's kingdom. Jareth had noticed however and was pestering Tory into telling him why he had brought them out to a dueling field.

Tory smirked, "I did not do this cousin. Dear Sarah did however, why not ask her why she did it. Or are you afraid to know the reason?" he asked tauntingly. To make it worse for Jareth he draped an arm over Sarah's shoulder and she didn't even do anything. Her eyes were fixed on Darres who had finally noticed where they were.

He had heard the whole conversation and saw the battle fire flaring in her eyes. He will pay for killing them! He never had a right to even be wanting something that was never his. I could've known all of this and never go through life being called a freak! Well now he has to pay the price, and so will Jareth.

While this was going through Sarah's head something in her conscience was screaming that it was all wrong, but she didn't pay attention. The anger coursing through her veins wastoo strong. Darres could sense the ever growing power around Sarah and was once again shocked at the raw power she could gather.

"Darres! You will pay for what you did to my family. I never knew them, and it's because of you and your greed! You wanted the power of our family. Let's see if you can withstand it first." Sarah's clothes changed from a nightgown to tan breeches and a form-fitting blouse that was a sky blue color. Her right hand was clasping an elaborate sword with a hilt that had a seal of a phoenix engraved on it, and a dragon entwining itself around the phoenix.

"That's the seal of the Fey royals!" exclaimed Jareth. Tory only laughed, "Did you not believe me cousin, when I told you that Sarah was the only living heir to the throne. No? how stupid you must be then!" Jareth was infuriated at Tory's audacity to address him that way and he would not stand for it!

When he tried to walk toward him to give him a piece of his mind an arm shot out to keep him where he was. "Jareth walking even a few steps right now would not be such a good idea. Or have you not noticed that Sarah was about to shoot you?" Jareth was surprised by this statement and looked to where Sarah was. Sure enough her sword had disappeared and had been replaced by a longbow and an arrow was notched in it. "Jareth after your father I'm going to kill you next. You are blameful for my family being dead too. To think I was starting to trust you, and deep down I actually sort of… Forget it! Forget I said any of it!"

She vanished the bow and quiver of arrows and tried to regain a little of her cool. Tory reconjured the sword that had the symbol of the fey throne on the hilt and handed it to Sarah.He glanced over to a shocked Jareth and Darres who were looking at Tory with a mixture of confusion and shock. "How did you conjure that !" shouted Jareth.

"I simply tapped into the power that was given to me freely by Sarah when she found out that I was her husband. Now you know the rules as much as I do. When someone is chosen to be the husband/wife to one of the heirs to any throne they must be able to conjure something with the seal of the family to be officially connected to their intended." Sarah had heard everything and was also very shocked by this new revelation, but since she had accepted that Tory would be her husband she didn't disagree or disbelieve him. However something was nagging at the back of her mind that something wasn't right. "I don't care that this doesn't seem right! I just want revenge for my family." She screamed inside her head as she pushed any emotions except hate and anger to the back of her mind.

"Darres I challenge you to a duel of the fey's. Do you accept or forefeit?"

He stared at Sarah in shock, how could she possibly know about the duel of the feys. The duel of fey's was used to avenge one's loved ones but it came with a heavy price. The one that lost would forefeit his life. If someone forfeited from a duel then they would still have to forefeit their life, which made the duel of fey's one of the more extreme versions of fey revenge.

Darres knew there was no way out of this and that he would have to fight Sarah. He turned to his son and sighed heavily. "Jareth stay here. I'm going to have to fight Sarah, and you know very well why." He finished as he saw that Jareth's mouth had been open to ask why.

Jareth snapped his mouth shut and stared at his father with remorse, and then turned his gaze onto Sarah. A deep hurt flared briefly in his eyes before being replaced by a look of anger directed at Tory. "I may not like this but we don't have any choice since both Sarah and my father agree to the duel. Promise me you won't get yourself killed fatherbecause contrary to belief I don't hate you."

His father smiled and silently patted his son on the shoulder. "I know. We'll just see what happens." With that said he turned to face Sarah and he saw that he wouldn't get away with his life just by the way Sarah's aura was swirling around her…unless. "I accept your challenge Sarah."

The field that they were in was suddenly surrounded in a barrier of pure sparkling energy. A voice rang through the field quoting the long time rules to the duel and asking why the challenger had issued the challenge. Sarah told the voice of the killing of the royal family and the soldiers because of the fey shewould bechallenging. The air crackled and the voice boomed. "I fully accept that you have challenged this fey. You both know the procedure's now let the duel begin."

AN: Review people and you will see more. Now for the excerpt and thank you to the reviewers.

enchantednight84: The only reason why I made her trust him was so that I could add the little twist to the story that will come out soon and Tory can gain some of Sarah's power but not the true power of the Fey throne that connects all the powers in the land. If this does not answer your questions please tell me.

lilnovelist: Thank you and I am truly sorry for the long wait.

Now for the excerpt:

At the mention of Jareth's name she felt her heart cry out in denial; she stopped battling for a second to calm her fighting mind and heart. Darres took this oppurtunity and stabbed Sarah through her stomach and sent a surge of his magic into her body. The combination of both would surely kill her but he had no choice.
