Hiya, I just wrote this short little snippet as a kinda taster as what the story would turn into if i was to continue it. Can you R&R and let me know what you think please? I'm unsure whether to turn it into a full story or not. If it was turned into a story, the main plot line would follw jareths view of events and would eventually end up in everyones fav romance but would go to dark places before hand.

Anyway, let me know what you think, thanks :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to the Labyrinth or it's characters.

Weeks passed in Labyrinth and the King's mood did not improve. Although the magic in the air had ceased to crackle, the thunder still pounded and the rain still poured. Hundred of tiny droplets continued to beat themselves against the castle walls, the wind howling through the hallways. The days continued to bare darkened and as for the King himself? No one had seen him outside the castle since that fateful night.

Rumour had it the only being to have actually seen the King since his return was the Dwarf, Hoggle, whom the King had summoned for immediately. The rumour went on to say that Hoggle had tried to contact the young mortal soon after the king's defeat. The king had order for no being that resided within the Labyrinth to contact the Aboveground. Especially if they were contacting it for the mortal girl. This was enforced under penalty of death.

The Labyrinth was in mourning.

Or so it appeared to the outside kingdoms who hadn't dare to approach the grieving king. It was only the subject within the Labyrinth that knew the mourning was for the King's heart. The mortal had shattered into a thousand smouldering pieces and he wanted her to pay.

Jareth paced in his study. He hated feeling like this. She had made me feel like this. The thought alone of it made Jareth's stomach turn and his voice growl. Like he had been doing whenever he felt this feeling he grabbed the nearest solid object and flung it at the wall. He was vastly running out of personal possessions. His latest victim turned out to a sculpture of a hideous goblin. Not a huge loss Jareth sighed.

He slumped down onto the side of his desk. He really hated feeling like this. Almost sorry for himself. He grimaced at the thought. He knew that Sarah had probably not intentionally realise how much damage she was doing, and even though he still loved her, he wanted revenge. He couldn't help it, he was him. If it had been someone else that had threatened his kingdom he would have snapped their neck in an instant.

But no.

It was a mortal girl that he had to go and fall for.

Jareth growled again suppressing the urge to throw something. Instead he focused his energy on how to control the situation.

His first act once his temper had softened slightly was of course to ban any communication between Sarah and that damn Hoghead. Jareth knew that Hoggle had witnessed part of his little break down in the throne room not long after returning from the aboveground. How he had witnessed this he was not sure but he had, and damn it all if the Dwarf just had to run off and tell his precious Sarah about the state of the Labyrinth. Jareth nearly slaughtered him there and then. But what good would it have done?

No, that's not what's needed.

So he let her know, let her think about what she had done. If nothing else the state of the throne room certainly was her fault.

Jareth scowled bitterly. "Stupid girl is even ruining my castle now" he angrily muttered to himself while kicking a wayward book on the floor with his leather clad foot.

"No" he thought to himself. "This attitude won't do. Something must be done." J

areth suddenly stood and strode from his study for the first time in weeks in search of a plan.

Yes? No? PLEASE let me know what you think. Even if it's a simple No.

Thanks :)
