Years after Sarah's flight from the Goblin city and Jareth's years of searching for the woman he loved so dearly, all hope seemed lost. Sarah had both been caught and killed by a savage beast or was long gone and had somehow found a way to another world, or back to her own.
Jareth had never married since, he had mourned for the rest of his time upon the throne and had not given it an heir. The whole Goblin kingdom dreaded the days coming as who would take charge once their gallant leader had passed on? He was an old man now- striving with every breath to live on and to find his once blushing bride.
Since the moment she had left everything had shattered and fallen apart around him, and now as the sunset of the kingdom Jareth knew that he would never find her again.
He crept to his bed, draped in black to blend with the black sheets- his eyes weary from searching for Sarah, his body weak with needing. He could not bear to hear another word uttered from one of the Goblins who he had heard blaming him for her escape. It was her choice…
Jareth let his eyes flutter shut and he wished himself into a slumber that he would never awake from…
A hand floated softly down the side of his face, cold nails brushing over the tender skin of his cheeks with a warm breathe so close to his face.
Jareth had dreamt this so many times before, dreamt of Sarah coming back to him. He opened his eyes expecting to see the black whirls of his bed but instead was woken by the face of a woman, one he had thought of for years upon end…
' Sarah...?'
