Daybreak had come. The sun warmly twinkled through the lilac drapes. The chirps of morning birds echoed from every corner of the room. Sarah lay peacefully with his arms gripping her tightly as if he was protecting her from everything else in the world. Even in the mornings he looked flawless. There was no sign on his face that said he had been asleep for hours. His face still radiated luminosity and his eyes still sparkled. Unlike Sarah who appeared shabby and drained. She felt somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that she was lying next to a King and she looked far from elegant. In truth, she felt uncomfortable altogether. She had never been more aware of her nakedness. She struggled through Jareth's grip to try and sit up, the bed cover still wrapped around her body. Jareth noticed her uneasiness.

"Good morning Sarah, did you have a nice night?" he said as he sat up with her and stroked her tousled hair back. She looked at him and smiled not knowing what to say. She knew that last night was magical and she did have a nice sleep but this morning she felt a little strange. She usually woke up on her own and then she didn't care what she looked like because no one could see her. Or least she didn't think no one could see her. But this time she was in the presence or a much older and much more prominent man. Sure Devon had stayed over some nights but he was just an ordinary fay. She looked around her bedroom and found comfort in everything else that did not feel strange to her. Her posters, fairy ornaments, books and rug. Then she saw her clock.

"Oh no" she said realising that it was almost ten o'clock.

"What?" Jareth asked.

"I'm late, I promised that I would see Toby…I have to go" she said. Sarah got out of her bed and put on her robe. Then she rummaged around for some clothes to wear.

"Go?…look Sarah, I promise you, your brother is in good health. Don't you trust my abilities." said Jareth as he stood up. Sarah noticed he was already fully dressed. He looked immaculate, unlike her.

"It's not you I don't trust, it's the goblins. Anyway he's expecting me to be there" she said as she walked into the bathroom to get changed.

"Why don't you call your parents and tell them you'll see him later" asked Jareth as she dressed. He clearly did not want Sarah to walk out on him.

"Why would I do that, I want to go see him, besides there's nothing to keep me here anyway." She came out of the bathroom and looked at Jareth guiltily realising what she had just said. She didn't want him to feel unwanted. After all it was her that asked him to stay. But it was too late. His face looked hurt by her words. So many times she had rejected him but this time she had took one step too far. "Look I didn't mean…"

"You've made it perfectly clear what you meant." he said. He walked over to the window where he stood still with his back to Sarah. She didn't want to leave him feeling redundant. She truly wanted to still be with him but she had to see her brother.She knew that he still had power over her and he could easily stop her from going. She sat on her bed and put her bag to one side. Jareth looked at her from the corner of his eye and noticed her sulky face.

He sighed.

"Go" he said quietly. Sarah jumped up happily.

"Thank you, I'll see you here when I get home, I promise I won't be long, two hours tops…you will be here when I get back won't you." she asked.

He sighed again. Sarah took that as a 'yes'. She rushed out of the door leaving Jareth alone.

Three and a half hours later and Sarah returned.

"Sorry I know I'm a little late but I…"

She realised that she was talking to herself. Jareth had gone. She felt frustrated that he would leave just because she was a bit late from visiting her 'sick' brother. It's not like he has better things to do, she thought. She looked around her apartment. Not even a note was left. She sat on her kitchen chair and rested her chin on her hand. Without Jareth she had nothing to be excited about. She had no job to go to, she had no real friends that she wanted to talk to. She tried asking for Hoggle through her mirror a couple of times but he would not come since Jareth took all of Sarah's power away.

The day went by slowly and Sarah was truly getting bored. She read a old fantasy books but none of them really satisfied her. She tried to rehearse her lines for her Romeo and Juliet play but she found little pleasure from pretending to express her love for a fictional character, not when she had experienced it for real.

Later that day the phone rang. She literally sprinted towards it and picked it up, desperate to talk to someone. She kind of hoped it would be Jareth but then she laughed at the idea that the Goblin King would call her on such an earthly thing as a phone.

"Hello" she said.

"Hi Sarah…are you okay."

Sarah was neither delighted or disappointed to her Devon's voice. She was just happy that she had someone to talk to. Even though she did feel a little guilty that she had ended their relationship by cheating on him last night and he was oblivious to the whole thing.

"Oh hi Devon, yes I'm fine." she said.

"Look Sarah can we just forget about the other day, I didn't mean to be so forward, can we just start again and go back to being the couple we used to be." he said.

Sarah paused for a second. She didn't like being put on the spot but she knew she had to say something.

"Sarah, Sarah are you still there?" asked Devon.

"Yes Devon I'm here, and I'd like to forget about everything that happened." she said.

"Oh great, so we're cool then?" he asked.

"Yeah we're…we're cool but…" answered Sarah.

"Great! Well can I see you tonight, I was thinking about going to that new club on 7th street, what do you say, shall I meet you there at seven?"

"O…okay, see you there bye."

Sarah put the phone down and screamed into her hands. She knew it was wrong to see Devon, but she had to see him face to face so she could end their relationship properly.

She got dressed and tied up her hair ready to confront Devon and tell him the truth. She hated hurting people's feelings but she knew that it was her responsibility to tell him. She hadn't dressed up too much but she did make a little bit of an effort, just so he didn't think she was totally dissatisfied with him. Once she had told him she knew that she couldn't feel guilty anymore. She took a deep breath and marched out of the door.

As the door shut the breeze blew across the room and over to the window. Out of the window was a large tree, and on the tree sat a an owl. A snowy white owl who had been watching Sarah's every move.

Sarah met Devon at the club. He greeted her with a smile and a hug which she uncomfortably responded to. It was breaking her heart that such a kind and gentle guy was about to be dejected by her, but it was the only thing she could do.

They walked over to the bar where Devon ordered them some drinks. She thought that she could at least owe him a drink before she tells him that their relationship is over.

Devon looked into her eyes.

"I hope we never fight like that again" he said before he kissed her. She responded for a couple of seconds before she realised what she was really there for.

"Alright I know, I'm embarrassing you." said Devon. He looked around and noticed that people were gathering around the dance floor.

"Let's dance Sarah" said Devon as her jumped up out of his seat and tried to pull her over to the dance floor. He sensed that something was the matter when she was reluctant to stand up. "What 's the matter Sarah, I thought you loved to dance?" he asked enquiringly.

"Yes but…" she said before he interrupted her.

"Well come on then" he said.

"No Devon, I really need to talk to you." she said seriously. His relaxed face straightened up. He knew that something was wrong with her. Never before had she been so grave with him.

"What's wrong." he said, having to shout over the loud music.

"Sit down" she said loudly. "Look I wanted to tell you this earlier but I couldn't do it over the phone." she said.

"Tell me what, Sarah you're scaring me, you're not ill are you." he asked.

"No Devon I'm not ill, but erm…I…I've loved being with you over the past few months but…" she said.

"I've loved being with you too…" he loudly interrupted.

"But I think I just…need a break, you know." she said.

"Yeah that's great" he said as she looked at him puzzlingly. "I was thinking the same thing. We should take a break together, how about this weekend." he said.

"No no Devon you don't understand" she whinged. "I mean I need to take a break from you, don't you understand." she said.

"What?" he asked.

"IT'S OVER DEVON!" she shouted, not realising that the music had now stopped. She looked around embarrassedly. She saw Devon's face. He looked devastated. She ran out of the club with tears in her eyes.

Devon chased after Sarah and caught her up running down 7th street. He grabbed her waist and pushed her lightly down a nearby alley. She struggled for him to let go. But he pinned her hands against the wall. Tears streamed down her face.

"What do you mean its over?" he shouted. "What have ever done to disappoint you Sarah?"

"Nothing!" she murmured through her snivels. "It's not you Devon…it's me."

"Come on Sarah that's such a cliché. Tell me, what's the real reason. Am I not good enough for you. Do I not satisfy you enough."

His grip on her was strong. Stronger than any human strength. He hardly ever used his fay magic since he had been with her but his hands clasped her so tightly that she screamed in pain.

"Devon please you're hurting" she cried. "Let me go."

"I'll let you go when you give me an explanation!" he yelled. "Tell me Sarah, why is it over. Have you met someone else."

She didn't answer.

"You have haven't you!." Devon took out a long stick from his pocket. It looked like some sort of wand. He pointed it towards Sarah as an radiant laser-like force hurled her into the air. Sarah was now hovering fifteen feet above ground and she could not move.

"Let me GO!" she screamed. She felt like she was being electrocuted, as pain shocked her whole body.

"Tell me who then!" he asked. "Who are you seeing."

Devon got distracted as something tapped on his shoulder. He looked around to see Jareth's livid face. Jareth's gloved hand brutally punched his face making him unconsciously fall to the ground. The force that had been holding Sarah had disengaged causing her to fall to ground. She landed with a thud. Jareth went up to her to check she was okay. She looked up. Seeing Jareth there made her smile. He did not smile back though, instead he just helped her to stand up. Sarah put her arms around Jareth.

"I'm so glad you came to save me" she said. But her pushed her away.

"What's the matter?" she asked seeing his saddened face. He looked into her eyes.

"You have shamed me Sarah. Your purity and trust is no longer known to me. I forbid your presence in my Labyrinth anymore. Be gone, I never want to see you again."

Sarah gasped in shock. It felt like someone had punched through her heart and ripped it out of her, just when it was starting to beat for the first time. Jareth walked away leaving Sarah left to beg for him to stay.

"Wait…don't leave me, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry." she yelled. "Come back!"

But he wasn't coming back. Now Sarah knew how it felt to be rejected.

A/N - See I told you there was lots more to come, and it's not over yet. Please keep reviewing. YAY:-D xx

By the way I do not own the characters of Jareth blah blah blah whatever.
