In Times of SorrowChapter 1
A Broken Soul
Rain pounds on the window as Sarah sits with her arms wrapped around her knees staring out into the cold empty darkness of a stormy night. A tear slides silently down her cheek as she covers her face with her hands and whispers one name, " Jareth."
Meanwhile in the Underground:
Jareth rests comfortably on his throne watching the beautiful girl in his crystal sit alone in the darkness and cry.
"Sarah, what has become of you? Why do you cry these tears, such sorrow has filled your eyes, where is that passion and determination you showed with such relish when we last met?
Jareth watches the crystal closely as Sarah curls into a ball on the floor. Her heart-wrenching cries echo through Jareth's mind as he watches the only one he loves cry for him, "Oh Jareth, please help me I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore! Why have you abandoned me? I wish I could see you!" Sarah sits up and rocks herself back and forth, her tears and sobs becoming uncontroallable as her heart sinks with desperation. "Why don't you come oh great GOBLIN KING, will you leave me broken like this? Is this what you want? Your only enemy begging you to save her!"
In a fit of fury Jareth hurls the crystal against the wall, "What's said is said my dear, there is nothing I can do to change that! You must overcome this! You have made your choice, and you leave me no option of my own! I must respect the laws of my world."
Jareth pounds his fist on the arm of his chair, " Damn it Sarah! Don't you understand all you have to do is wish to be here with me! Renounce the words you spoke and I can help you. Only in dire situations may I break my own laws, and I have already turned the world and time upside down for you!"
Jareth runs his hand through his hair in utter frustration and begins to pace the room. Conjuring up another crystal he searches the darkness for Sarah. But he hears and sees nothing at first, until the glimmer of a tear catches his eye; revealing Sarah laying on the floor, her wrists slit and the blood of her life draining slowly away.
"Sarah, what have you done?" Jareth whispers as he vanishes in shimmer of glitter.
