Ok I dont know where this story is going to be honest, Im just going with the flow really. Im not that good at writting but Ive got a few idea tonight and if I dont get them written I know Ill forget them by the morning. They might be shit ideas, they might be good, but you'll only know if you read it! XD R&R
I'd just like to point out that Im gonna change the POV a few times in this chapter, but its all around the same scene ((from when Jareth shows up in the room till when he chooses)), just so you know what everyone is feeling about it. I will be putting '... POV' at the top of each change so its easy lol!
I think this is the last time Im gonna be using Jareth and Sarah too, I might use them once or twice for a scene but now its about Wyatt and Amy
Disclaimer applies as always: Dont own Labyrinth or Jareth or Sarah, but I do own Amy, Wyatt, and this storyline! Enjoy!

"Of course I know him, he's my brother"
"Can we get on with this please?!" Wyatt shouted. "Jareth, who do you pick?"
"What do you mean, you cant make me choose between them, I love them both."
'He loves me?'
"Your wasting time little brother. Make your choice."
"Why us?" Sarah shouted.
He paused for a moment, like he was having to think of why he was here. "The children of the Labyrinth, the only two people to succeed in getting what they wanted. You really dont know how much power you hold, do you?" He looked directly at me, and I thought I saw something else in his eyes, something I had seen from Jareth in the first few weeks of knowing him. But it was impossible...wasn't it?
"Dont make me do this, you can do anything to me Wyatt, just not this"
"Here's the thing, I dont want you! Make. Your. Choice!"
I closed my eyes and rested my head on my hands. I didnt want to know who he would pick, because I was scared.
"Amy, Amy Im so sorry." It was Sarah. He'd picked her. "You leave her alone you bastard! Dont touch her, leave her alone! Get off me! Jareth get off, help her! Amy! Amy!"
I didnt look up. I hung my head in my hands and sobbed as I felt someone lift me up.

Sarah POV
"Sarah?"
I couldnt stop the smile that spread across my face "Hello again!"
'He hasnt changed at all!' I thought as I jumped forward towars him and swung my arms around his neck. It felt so good to have his arms back around my waist, and I almost forgot that Amy was there.
I didnt want to let go, but knew eventually I had to. We couldnt stay like that all day!
Pulling away from him I said those words I remembered so well from the last time we met. " 'Through dangers untold and hardships un numbered, I have fought my way here, to the castle beyond the goblin city , to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong, and my kingdom as great!' " I stopped, suddenly feeling the pain of the last six words " 'You have…' "
His hand shot up to my mouth quickly, silencing me. "Please don't say it. Not again"
I heard Amy thump down on her bed, and looked up to see her staring at us "It was you?...'The Great Sarah?' the book was about you?"
I wasnt sure what to say so I ignored her questions. It could wait till later. "Never mind that now, if we're both here that cant be good. Theres gotta be something going on here right?"
"Im not sure. I haven't seen anything unusual so I don't think your in any harm."
"What do you mean you haven't Seen anything unusual?" Amy Shouted. I could see she wanted to cry, but knew she wouldn't. "You haven't been here to see anything!"
He walked over and sat next to her, taking her hands in his "Doesn't mean I haven't been watching you Amy. I just couldn't get to you, that's the rules." he took her hands to his lips and kissed them softly, looking into her eyes. I felt a pang of jealously stab through me, but brushed it off.
'Don't be stupid, you had your chance and you blew it!'
"What rules? You're the king, you make the rules?"
"Rules for the goblins yes, and for people running my Labyrinth. No, I'm talking about the rules of the Underground. I cant get to you unless you call me, like now."
"I did! I called you so many times, but you never answered me. I thought you'd forgotten me." Still she refused to let the tears fall, even though I could see she desperately wanted to. I'd been the same when I thought he'd forgotten me, but I got over it eventually. I moved on.
His face creased up in confusion. "Ok then, thats interesting. I never heard you, exept for this morning and now."
Now it was her turn to look confused. "Jareth, I didnt call you this morning..."
"...So somethings going on? " I continued for her. "Something to do with you, it must be if its linked to us. If you hadn't seen Amy this morning we wouldnt have been talking about it, and I wouldnt have told her to call you"
Jareth was staring out of the window, his eyes unfocused to anything, just staring blankly. He stayed that way for a few minutes as we sat in silence.
He jumped up, still holding Amy's hands taking her with him. They walked over to me and he put her hands in mine, pushing them closed, like they had been in his. "Just stay there, dont move. Call me back in about 5 minutes, Ill see what I can find out." He kissed her cheek gently and was gone in a flash of glitter.
"Can we let go?" I mumbled more to the disapearing Jareth than to us.
"He said not to move so I dont think so"
I did anyway.
"This really isn't good!" I mumbled again , walking along the end of her bed. "I knew there was something going on, people dont just turn up out of nowhere here, it just doesnt happen!" I stopped walking and looked down at her hands. "Are your hands tingling?"
Amy flexed her fingers slightly "Yeah, kind of like pins and needles." I grabbed hold of her hands again, cursing myself for being so stupid!
"Why didnt I think of that, he must have done it for a reason"
"Must have done what?"
"Why do I never listen, but then again he didnt make it very clear. Arrrgh. Its not fair!"
A shadow fell across the room and I heard something echo off the walls.
"Sarah..."
"He never just says something simple, why didnt he just say dont let go not dont move!"
"Sarah!"
"What?!"
"Your making no sense, and I think theres something more important right now!"
"Yeah, like what?!"
"Like why did it suddenly get dark. And whats that noise"
Looking round, I saw the shadows reaching across the room untill we we're submerged in darkness. We moved closer together and clung to each others hands, hoping it wasnt too late.
"Call him" I whispered, my voice thick with tears. "Call him, we need him"
"Ja..." She stopped suddenly, and I was about to question it when a hand slid over my mouth.
"Not yet!" I heard someone mumble. "He wont hear you if you call him now."
Amy was still holding tight to my hand, my fingers starting to go numb. I was pulled backwards, away from her, and felt her hands leave mine.
"Now, call him. Ask him to come and save you."
I silently willed her not to, somehow knowing it was a trap.
"Jareth, help" she whispered. Then I heard her cry out silently in pain. "Why are you doing this to us?" I wanted to reach out and grab her, to tell her everything was going to be alright. But as I swung my arms around I didn't find her, she was too far out of reach.
"Because he can only pick one of you to save. We get the other. Do it! Call for him!"
"But..."
"Do it!!"
"Jareth! Jareth help!" I heard her drop to the floor moments before I was dropped too. I didn't try moving, I knew it wouldn't be possible.
I felt a gust of wind and knew he had turned up. "Amy? Sarah? Where are you?!"
The light came back to the room and I looked up at Jareth. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I saw one roll down his.
"Wyatt? What are you doing?" I heard Jareth shout.
They're on first name terms?! Is that a good thing?!
"You know him?!" Amy cried out, echoing my thoughts exactly.
"Of course I know him, he's my brother!"
"Can we get on with this please?!" Wyatt shouted. "Jareth, who do you pick?"
"What do you mean, you cant make me choose between them, I love them both."
'He loves me?'
"Your wasting time little brother. Make your choice."
"Why us?" I shouted.
He paused for a moment, like he was having to think of why he was here. "The children of the Labyrinth, the only two people to succeed in getting what they wanted. You really dont know how much power you hold, do you?" He looked directly at Amy, and I wondered for a moment if that was what this was about; he wanted Amy.
"Dont make me do this, you can do anything to me Wyatt, just not this" I looked at Jareth and saw the pain in his eyes.
"Here's the thing, I dont want you! Make. Your. Choice!"
I didnt want to know who he would pick. I was scared. If he picked her, what would happen to me?
I didnt have to worry about that though. One moment I was sat on the floor looking at my hands and the next I was stood with Jareth, his arm around me protectively.
I looked down at Amy and noticed her shoulders start to shake "Amy, Amy Im so sorry." I sobbed as Wyatt bent to pick her up; collecting his prize. I moved forward to hit him but Jareth held me back. "You leave her alone you bastard! Dont touch her, leave her alone! Get off me! Jareth get off, help her! Amy! Amy!"
And then they were gone. I turned to look at Jareth. "How could you just let him do that?!" I pushed his arm away from me and ran out of the room.

Jareths POV
"Sarah?" 'Was I dreaming? My Sarah?!'
She smiled back at me. that beautiful smile I'd missed so much. "Hello again!"
I moved forward just as she did and wrapped my arms around her. Heaven! I couldnt believe it, my Sarah was here, right in front of me!
"You know each other?"
After a few minutes we broke apart, still looking at each other. " 'Through dangers untold and hardships un numbered, I have fought my way here, to the castle beyond the goblin city , to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong, and my kingdom as great!' " she stopped and looked away from me. my heart started beating louder. she wasnt going to say it was she? " 'You have…' "
Quickly I slipped my hand over her mouth. "Please don't say it. Not again"
"It was you?…'The Great Sarah?' The book was about you?"
"Never mind that now, if we're both here that cant be good. Theres gotta be something going on here right?" She directed her question at me, avoiding Amy's questions.
"Im not sure. I haven't seen anything unusual so I don't think your in any harm." I was about to summon a crystal to have another look, just to see if I'd missed anything, when Amy interupted my train of thought.
"What do you mean you haven't Seen anything unusual?" She burst out, acting like a little child. "You haven't been here to see anything!"
I felt my heart drop to the bottom of my stomach. She really didnt know, did she? I walked over and sat next to her, taking her hands in mine "Doesn't mean I haven't been watching you Amy. I just couldn't get to you, that's the rules." I took her hands to my lips and kisses them softly, looking into her eyes. Surely she belived me? It didnt look like she did!
"What rules? You're the king, you make the rules?"
"Rules for the goblins yes, and for people running my Labyrinth. No, I'm talking about the rules of the Underground. I cant get to you unless you call me, like now."
"I did! I called you so many times, but you never answered me. I thought you'd forgotten me." I could see tears starting to form in her eyes, but as always she pushed them back, refusing to let them fall.
I thought about it. If she'd called me, I would have come to see her. I should have seen it in the crystals "Ok then, thats interesting. I never heard you, exept for this morning and now."
Now it was her turn to look confused. "Jareth, I didnt call you this morning..."
"...So somethings going on? " Sarah continued "Something to do with you, it must be if its linked to us. If you hadn't seen Amy this morning we wouldnt have been talking about it, and I wouldnt have told her to call you"
I stared out of the window, trying to think who would have the power to manipulate the crystals, and to bring me and Amy here specifically.
I jumped up, still holding Amy's hands taking her with me. We walked over to Sarah and I put her hands in Sarahs, like they had been in mine. I whispered a quick protection and let go. "Just stay there, dont move. Call me back in about 5 minutes, Ill see what I can find out." I kissed Her cheek gently and transported myself back to the underground
I appeared in my study and started throwing books and papers around till I found what i was looking for. The book explained the power a mortal could gain if they achieved what they wanted, if they defeated the Labyrinth and got back the child they had wished away. Along with immortality, champoins of the Labyrinth are able to...
Befoer i hac chance to read anymore, I heard Amy. "Jareth! Jareth help!" I could hear from her voice that the tears she had tried so hard to hide had escaped, which meant things had just got alot worse!
I transported myself back to the room, but it was pitch black. Moving my arms around, I tried to find where they were "Amy? Sarah? Where are you?!"
The light came back to the room and I could finally see who it was, who was doing all this.
"Wyatt? What are you doing?" I shouted. Now I was scared.
"You know him?!"
"Of course I know him, he's my brother!"
"Can we get on with this please?!" Wyatt shouted. "Jareth, who do you pick?"
I could feel my heart beating faster and faster as what he'd said sunk in. "What do you mean, you cant make me choose between them, I love them both."
"Your wasting time little brother. Make your choice."
I hated it so much when he called me Little Brother!
"Why us?" Sarah shouted.
He paused for a moment, like he was having to think of why he was here. "The children of the Labyrinth, the only two people to succeed in getting what they wanted. You really dont know how much power you hold, do you?"
I tried to think of a way to get around it, but there wasnt. He had me cornered. "Dont make me do this, you can do anything to me Wyatt, just not this"
"Here's the thing, I dont want you! Make. Your. Choice!"
I looked from Amy to Sarah to Wyatt. This wasnt going to end well. No matter who I picked, I would lose, and he knew that!
I flicked my wrist in Sarahs direction and she appeared next to me. To make sure he didnt take her anyway, I slid my arm around her protectively.
I looked down at Amy and noticed her shoulders start to shake as I felt my eyes sting. My heart was breaking.
'What have I done?'
"Amy, Amy Im so sorry." Sarah sobbed next to me as Wyatt bent to pick Amy up; collecting his prize. I felt Sarah move forward to hit him but I held her back, it wouldnt solve anything, it would just make it worse. "You leave her alone you bastard! Dont touch her, leave her alone! Get off me! Jareth get off, help her! Amy! Amy!" She fought against me but I held her tight.
And then they were gone. Sarah turned to look at me, her eyes bloodshot and teary. "How could you just let him do that?!" She pushed my arm away from her, disgusted by me, and ran out of the room.

Wyatts POV
I watched them all through a crystal, waiting for the right moment. He'd figure it out soon, and being the smart guy that he is, he'd have to go back to his study to find more evidence that what he thought was right. It was always the same with Jareth.
Jareth was staring out of the window, his eyes unfocused to anything, just staring blankly. He stayed that way for a few minutes as they sat in silence.
He jumped up, still holding Amy's hands taking her with him. They walked over to Sarah and he put their hands together, pushing them closed, like they had been in his. He whispered a fea protection spell "Dammit!" I shouted "Ill have to find another way to get to them."Just stay there, dont move. Call me back in about 5 minutes, Ill see what I can find out." He kissed her cheek gently and was gone in a flash of glitter.
"Can we let go?" Sarah mumbled more to the disapearing Jareth than to us.
"He said not to move so I dont think so"
I was about to put the crystal away and try something else when they broke hands, breaking the proctection of the room.
'Time to go get my queen!'
Unlike Jareth, I chose to enter un announced. Where he would flounce into the room in a cloud of glitter, I covered the room in darkness to spook whoever was in the room at the time.
"Call him" Sarah whispered, her voice thick with tears. "Call him, we need him" These mortals really were pathetic.
"Ja..." I slid my hand over her mouth quickly, it was too soon for him to be here yet. Seeing the other about to protest, I covered her mouth too.
"Not yet!" I mumbled. "He wont hear you if you call him now."
They had rejoined hands in hopes of reactivating the protection, but it didnt work, I was already there when they joined hands again. It was too late.
I moved each of them away from the other, using magic to pull their hands apart.
"Now, call him. Ask him to come and save you."
"Jareth, help" she whispered. In anger, I pushed my hand up against her chin, ready to punish her. I regretted it after. How was she to love me like this "Why are you doing this to us?"
"Because he can only pick one of you to save. I get the other. Do it! Call for him!"
"But..."
"Do it!!"
"Jareth! Jareth help!" As soon as she called out, they dropped to the floor, bound there by magic till Jareth made his choice
I felt a gust of wind and knew he had turned up. "Amy? Sarah? Where are you?!"
I made the lights come back on and looked at the pitifull figure that was my little brother. He looked so...so...so human!
"Wyatt? What are you doing?" He shouted once he saw me. It made me smile. He knew!
"You know him?!" Amy cried out.
"Of course I know him, he's my brother!"
"Can we get on with this please?!" I shouted. I really was getting bored of their arguements. "Jareth, who do you pick?"
"What do you mean, you cant make me choose between them, I love them both."
"Your wasting time little brother. Make your choice." I knew he hated being called that, it would make him choose faster just to get me away.
"Why us?" Sarah shouted.
I paused for a moment, trying to think what to tell them. "The children of the Labyrinth, the only two people to succeed in getting what they wanted. You really dont know how much power you hold, do you?" I looked down at Amy sat ont he floor staring up at me.
"Dont make me do this, you can do anything to me Wyatt, just not this"
I turned back to Jareth, rolling my eyes. "Here's the thing, I dont want you! Make. Your. Choice!"
He did. And thankfully it was the choice I had wanted hm to make!
He flicked his wrist at Sarah and she appeared next to him. He slid his arm around her proctectively, making sure I didnt take her too.
No. Just Amy.
I looked down at Amy and noticed her shoulders start to shake. Could I really do this?
"Amy, Amy Im so sorry." Sarah sobbed as I bent to pick Amy up. She was linp in my arms, vunerable, alone and lost. She needed me. "You leave her alone you bastard! Dont touch her, leave her alone! Get off me! Jareth get off, help her! Amy! Amy!"
I disappeared with her in my arms and reappeared in a large room. It was hers. It always had been.
Pulling the soft sheets back, I put her gently on the bed. She would sleep for a few days and wake up feeling refreshed. She wouldnt remember what happened, it was the least I could do.
I pulled the covers over her, making sure she wouldnt be cold. "Sweet dreams my love. Please dont hate me for this. I never meant to hurt you." I kissed her forhead, noticing as I moved away how her tear stained cheeks moved then as she smiled.
