A/N: I do not own the Labyrinth or any of its characters

Chapter Eight: What's Said Is Said

Fact Eight: He is specific in his commands

"Love me."

Fact Nine: I love him.

I do. My heart and head is full of him. He is the only one for me.

"Fear me."

Fact Ten: I fear him.

He is terrifying, is he not? His majesty fills rooms. His power enslaves mortals. His cruelty is that of legends. And I fear never seeing him again. Never hearing him taunt me. My name on his lips, in memorandum is so much more pleasurable than another's lips on mine.

"Do as I say, and I will be your slave."

Fact Eleven: I will do as he says.

He asked me to forget about the boy. I will for him. I am tired of this. I am tired of running without reason. Of worrying without cause. I will do what he says because defying him carries to heavy a cost for me anymore. I haven't the strength to carry it forward.

Fact Twelve: I miss him.

It was only ten hours. Why did it feel like so much more?

Fact Thirteen: What's said is said.

Jareth? I wish you would come and take me away right now…
