Sarah was confused. The pain wasn't making things any better. "Adele's dead? My life? How can Adele be dead I just saw her?" Sarah was breathing heavily and in cold sweats.

"Adele has been gone for years. I have been the one taking care of you these past weeks."

"They ….Sir Didymus said Lady Cassandra died in a fire."

"Oh so they did mention me? Fancy that! Do you think a fire could kill me? I mean look at me! Come on! I escaped. It wasn't that hard. See when the people of my country found out I was manipulating the king they freaked out. I knew they were going to try to kill me. So I locked myself in my house. They lit it on fire and I jumped dimensions to here. That's when a nice old woman named Adele took me in. She told me of the kind and might I add POWERFUL king she worked for. I was automatically intrigued. I told Adele that my name was Anne and she let me start working as her assistant. I tried my best to spark Jareth's interest but knew that he was not interested in anything I had to offer. So I decided to sit back watch and study. Well I couldn't do that as Anne the assistant. So I took over Adele's life."

"How?"

"Oh the same way I am going to take over yours! See I met this woman at the garbage dump named Ono. I think you met her sister on your last stay here. Anyways she is a witch and she helped me come up with a potion. I won't share with you all the gritty details, it is pretty boring stuff. The two basic ingredients are pieces of hair and a personal belonging that belongs to the person you want to be. So I cut Adele's hair mixed it in my potion. Stole Adele's precious keys dumped them in and every night, after Adele fell asleep I would wear her keys and take on Adele's physical features. See so long as I had her keys touching some part of my body I looked like her. Me wearing them would take away some of Adele's life force. Every night I would drain from Adele a little bit of herself. Every time I saw her get weaker I would begin to where the keys longer. Soon enough Adele was too weak to get out of bed. She would tell me of these crazy dreams she would have of doing her work but acting differently and dreams about yelling at her beloved daughter Amelia. A few weeks after that, the original Adele was gone. She simply vanished. But so long as I had Adele's keys no body knew any better. Haha isn't that wonderful?"

"That is horrible!" Sarah now was feeling stronger.

"To each his own I guess," Cassandra said as she walked around to sit on the edge of Sarah's bed, "But anyways I watched Jareth closely, waiting to find his weakness. And then it came…bet you can't guess what it was!"

"Surprise me," Sarah said.

"You silly! When you went against his labyrinth Jareth watched you more than any of the other challengers. I knew he loved you."

"You're full of it."

"Oh come on Sarah don't be stupid! He loves you and you know it! Anyways I knew you were my way into Jareth's power. I was rather upset when you won. I knew Jareth would have traded you for your brother if you had lost…that would have been a lot easier. But you did win so I had to wipe a whole bunch of people's memories. Do you know how hard that is?"

"Why did you have to? You could have just let them remember. It would not have hurt anyone! In fact it would have saved a lot of pain. Do you know how you have tortured my friends? Hester and Hoggle have gone through Hell and I am sure Sir Didymus and Ludo have seen there fair share!" Sarah screamed.

"Of course I had to! My goal is to rule Jareth's kingdom! If people found out he was beaten by a girl they would not listen to him any more. They would revolt. So I got rid of all of their memories as soon as they came back from your house. It worked out wonderfully because Jareth thinks it is just a part of the Labyrinth's self defense system!"

"You are horrible! Do you know how much pain you put Hester and Hoggle through?"

"Oh that Hoggle of yours was unpopular to begin with. As for Hester…well you do not need to worry about her anymore!" she said with a laugh.

"Oh my God what have you done with her?"

"I have taken care of her. She knew too much. She could have divulged my whole secret without even knowing. I know you dreamt about what happened."

"You yelled at her and she thought it was me."

"Exactly. She has been a thorn in my side ever since you came any ways. I did not want you to take your attention off of Jareth. I wanted you to get in close with him! That is why you did not dream when you were in Jareth's room. I wanted you two to get very close. Hester kept getting in the way of my goal so I took care of her."

"YOU KILLED HER?"

"I shall just say I took care of her…that sounds a lot nicer"

"You monster!" Sarah tried to lunge after her but could not.

"Oh dear, name calling is not polite. I don't expect you to apologize considering the condition you are in," she signaled to Sarah's binding, "Well must be off. How do I look?" she said as she slipped a ring from her pocket.

"You are a bitch," Sarah said. She knew the ring was hers. It was the one her mother left behind, the one Sarah gave away after receiving horrible directions in the Labyrinth.

"Oh this?" Cassandra held up the ring, "I suppose this is what you are upset about. It took me forever to track down! But I needed a personal belonging. What is more personal than a ring? I have been planning this for a long time now Sarah. Haven't you noticed? It was not chance that your step mother gave your brother that book. When I had everything setup the idea just popped into her head to give Toby your book. I had everything planned. I was going to wait for you to fall in love with Jareth and get married. But you had to be Miss Prissy didn't you? You had to turn down his invitation to stay! So now I am stepping in."

"You won't get away with this!"

"Oh but I will. If I put this ring on right now to you I would look the same that is if you could stay awake. But to them I would look exactly like you. See you still have a majority of your life left. I have very little of it. So naturally to you I would look like my self. But to everyone else…that is a different story. Eventually you won't notice any difference though. But by that time you will be too weak to even think. Oh by the way I know you are probably thinking about escaping. It won't work. I have already taken it upon my self to remove certain 'helpful books' from your library," she signaled to the empty space on Sarah's shelf, "Well good bye Sarah. Sweet dreams. I hope you enjoy seeing me live your life." And at that Cassandra then slipped Sarah's ring on to her finger and walked out.

A/N: Sorry this took so long to put up. Been very busy. I am glad to hear that many of you are enjoying the story. That makes me so happy! The next part shall be more exciting I promise. I mean Cassandra trying to be Sarah! Just think of what is going to happen! I promise it shall be great.
