Let me just point out that I don't hate Jareth, I really really don't, that's just how the story has ended up. And he isn't really evil because he's not sure if he wants to go through with it. The Labyrinth is controlling him, manipulating him into getting Amy back. You'll find out why in this chapter!
The walls whispering idea I took from ghostygreeneyedgirl in Fire & Crystals (Which is a fantastic story!) and all credit for that idea goes to her!
I do not own the Labyrinth, Im just borrowing it for a while, along with any characters from that I add in. You know who I own, any that aren't in the original Labyrinth, they are mine and so is this story, no stealing unless you give me credit for it!
Enjoy!

Amy was speechless. She hadn't seen the dress before today so she had been a bit wary of what it would be like, but she was stunned. It was beautiful!
It looked like the one she had worn for her birthday. It was the same style, two piece corset and skirt, and it had the flower pattern at the front and along the sleeves. But instead of being gold with gold flowers, it was white with pink and red flowers. Her shoes, which were high but not too high for her to walk in, were plain white with a single strap across her ankle. Everything about the dress was perfect, and Amy looked amazing.
"Gods, my brother is bloody lucky," Marianna exclaimed, looking at Amy from the door. "You look amazing!"
"You really do Amy" Korrine said, her eyes watery.

"You really do Amy" Korrine said, her eyes watery.
"Korrine?" Amy started, looking straight at her friend. Korrine was looking away, hiding the tears in her eyes. "Korrine what's the matter? What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing. Im just so happy that's all. You and Wyatt are perfect together. Theres always someone crying at weddings, I guess at your it'll be me" She laughed wiping the tears away.
"Korrine will you give me away?"
She looked at Amy, so did Marianna. "What? But that's family's job, I cant do that Im not family"
"Your as good as! Seriously Kory, I love you so much, you're the big sister I never had and your so amazing. I want you to give me away it'll make me so happy, I know I already have your blessing and all that but this would just be extra. Please?"
"Im more like a mother to you miss, old enough anyway"
"Nah, you're my sister! And you too Marianna, I want you to be my maid of honour"
"Really?"
Amy laughed at how they were reacting, it was like they were being given the most important jobs in the world. Little did Amy know, they were!
"Yes really! Theres no one else I would rather be my maid of honour, or to give me away!"
"Look at us, all sat here blubbering when we've got a wedding to get to! Come on now, dry your face Amy dear or he'll think you don't wanna marry him"
Amy started jumping up and down on the spot, smiling crazily. "Is it time?"
--
'Is it time?'
Jareth turned his head to look at a clock across the room. "Nearly." He got up from his throne and walked to the window. "I cant do this. She's happy. Much as I hate to admit it, Wyatt is right, she was never happy with me and now she is."
'Do not change the plan!'
He could feel the floor vibrating beneath him as the Labyrinth spoke. 'You must fulfil the prophecy! She must return to us, she must become Queen! Her power grows stronger. She is linked to us, soon she will have the power to destroy us!'"But its wrong!"
'WE DON'T CARE! We will have the girl. You will take her now, or we will!'
--
Amy could hear a song playing from the doors in front of her. A soft tune, why did it sound so familiar? She turned to Korrine. "What is this song?"
Korrine titled her head to the door and listened. "It's the wedding march, its time"
Amy was confused. "It doesn't sound like the wedding march. It sounds like…!" She gasped and put her hand to her face.
Korrine was about to push the door open for them to go in, but when she looked at Amy she stopped. She was white as a sheet and looked as if she'd just seen a ghost. "Amy? What's the matter lovey?"
"Something's not right, you cant hear that? Its him, its Jareth. I cant go in there!" Before she had a chance to explain more or for Korrine to stop her, she ran back up the stairs and into her room.
--
The door opened and Wyatt smiled. He turned around, expecting to see Amy but only saw Marianna rushing towards him. She grabbed hold of him and pulled him out of the room, towards the stairs.
"What's wrong? Where is she? Marianna?" No matter how hard he tried he couldn't hide the fear in his voice.
They were heading along the corridor towards Amy's room and Marianna didn't turn around, just kept going. "I don't know what's up with her. Its more than cold feet, she was terrified standing at those doors!"
'Because she was marrying me?'
"Why? Something must have happened?"
"The music, she said something about the music"
They stopped at her door and could hear her crying inside.
"I know its meant to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding, but something is happening, I can feel it!"
Without another word he went into the room, shutting the doors behind him.
Amy was sat on the floor with her dress around her. Her head was in her hands and she was sobbing, her shoulders shaking with every breath she took.
"Amy what happened? What's wrong?" he was next to her in a second, his arms around her trying to make her feel safe again.
"The music, it was him Wyatt, it was Jareth. I remember that song!" She held onto him as she calmed down. Nothing would happen while Wyatt was here. She was safe. For now.
"What song?"
"The one playing when I was outside the doors. Korrine couldn't hear it, Marianna couldn't either."
Wyatt hadn't really been paying attention to the song, but now he was thinking back and playing it in his head.
How you turn my world
You precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust me.
Everything I've done,
I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one.
He knew that song. He could remember when Jareth had played it at his first wedding…
He stood up, his arms still around Amy bringing her to stand with him. He looked around the room and shouted "You cant have her Jareth!"
"I do believe that is where you are wrong dearest brother" Came his voice from behind them. They turned and saw Jareth sat on the bed, his feet resting on the chair next to it. "I can have her, and I will"
"Leave her alone! You picked Sarah, you wanted her so go have her and leave Amy alone!" Wyatt shouted, his arms tightening around her, protecting her.
"Once again, no need to shout my hearing is fine." He got up and walked towards them slowly "Sarah has left, and I need a Queen. The only other person I would have as my Queen is Amy, so I will have her"
Amy had been silent before but now she spoke up, finally finding her tongue "I won't be your second place, I am not a consolation prize! Wyatt loves me Jareth, and I love him. That's more than I could ever say about you!"
"Your powers don't work here Jareth. You've lost, so leave before I force you."
Jareth laughed and moved closer, too close. "You really do underestimate me don't you brother. I know my powers don't work here, just as yours don't work in my castle." He moved a finger under Amy's chin. "Mine may not work, but hers do."
Before Wyatt had a chance to react, Jareth had brought his lips down to Amy's, kissed her softly then whispered "I wish you would take me to the Labyrinth"
And they were gone.
