She sighed as she closed the door.

"Sarah!" Shouted Hoggle from the mirrors reflection. He had paced her floor for a while. "Sarah, what took you so long? Did you find him? Is he coming back?"

Sarah sat at her desk. "Hoggle, I did find him and I told him everything but he refuses to remember anything. He thinks I'm crazy. I can't force him to come back if he doesn't even believe the Underground exists. What should I do?"

He turned serious. "Sarah you have to get back here as soon as possible. We don't have very long here, the Labyrinth is under attack and we can't hold them off for longer. We need him here now."

Sarah stared at him in shock, she didn't know it had gotten that bad.

She stood from her seat. "I'll go now." She took the necklace from her jewelery box and shoved it into her purse. She rushed past the dinning room and flew out the door. She didn't want to have to talk to her parents now. It took only a few minutes to reach his house and she pulled into his drive way. He opened the door before she got out of her car. "Sarah? What are you doing here?" He asked confused.

She rushed into his arms and led him to the living room. "David the Underground is in major trouble! They are under attack now. We have to go."

He gently pushed her away and started pacing. "Sarah, not this again. I told you that I don't want to talk about it. Why do you have to ruin such a good day?"

Sarah grew angry. "David, we did have a great day and I don't want to ruin anything but I'm telling you the truth whether you want to hear it or not."

He saw her pull something from her purse, a large golden necklace. His heart skipped a beat, he recognized it. As he stared, it started to glow in her hand. He saw his hand moving slowly to it. Then they were both touching it and suddenly things started to clear. Both of them held tight to each others hand as the images and memories came flooding.

Sarah smiled, she saw it clearly now. Sir Didymus, Ludo, Hoggle, the Labyrinth, and Jareth.

He saw it all flash before his eyes. He was the ruler of the Underground kingdom, he was an immortal sorcerer. He remembered everything now, that his life here was fabricated by a spell and it wasn't real. He also remembered why he had went through all the trouble of creating a new life.

She turned towards him and saw his expression change. He tightened his grip on hers but didn't hurt her.

"Jareth?" She asked quietly. He frowned at her.

"What have you done? You've ruined everything!" He growled at her. His anger at her was back in full force and he let go of her hand taking back the necklace and placing it on himself.

"Jareth, the Underground Kingdom is in major trouble. We have to go back there. They need your help." She pleaded but still keeping her distance for he seemed angry. He laughed at her.

"What do I care of that place? I left it for a reason. Let them rot."

Sarah shook her head in disbelief. "You left on your own? I thought you were banished by the Labyrinth."

He smiled at her. "Sarah, What do you want from me?"

She glanced at him. "What do you mean? I told you, the Underground Kingdom can't survive without you there. It is gonna be destroyed and they need you to save them. Jareth, I know you're mad at me but please don't take it out on them."

He scoffed at her. "Ha, I don't care about them. Those sniveling little scabs with barely the brains of a dog. I left that place and I won't go back. Not even for you."

Sarah closed her eyes in frustration, he was definitely Jareth. Always trying to get a rise out of her, why is he so stubborn?

"Why?" She asked.

"Why, what?" He sneered.

"Why, won't you go back to the Labyrinth? Why have you come here? Please tell me."

Her eyes started to glisten. His faced was blank as he looked upon her.

"Isn't it obvious?"

A tear escaped her eye, "I don't know, please tell me."

He paced in front of her. "You."

"Me?" she asked, the one word was loaded with many meanings, leaving her confused. "Because I defeated you?" She asked.

He smiled at her and summoned a crystal and tossed it to her. She caught it and stared into it. It replayed what happened outside of the Escher room. How he offered her dreams, but she still rejected him. How he left her at her house. Then the crystal glowed and showed the Kingdom after she was gone. How he became depressed and the Kingdom became dull to him as everything reminded him of his loss. Soon it started to become too painful to bear and he decided to leave. He, himself, had wiped away his memories of her and went to live as a human. Then the crystal was blank and she looked back at him.

"You were trying to forget me and what happened because you were in pain."

He looked deep into her eyes. "Now you understand. Sarah, you rejected me after all I've done for you and gave you what you needed. You wanted a villain, I gave you one. You didn't want a 'Prince Charming' so I gave you a King. I did everything you wanted and asked nothing of you accept for your affections but then you still cast me out like trash."

Sarah could see the pain in his eyes, his menacing demeanor gone. Now it was just raw emotion.

"You nearly destroyed my world when you uttered those dreadful words. I was dependent on your belief in me and I needed your dreams to keep our worlds bonded. Still even after you left me I've waited for you. I waited for five long years for you to grow up and realize what I meant to you. Then I realized that you were never coming back, you would never call me again. You took something with you when you left, a powerful magic, my heart. Without it and you, I became almost nothing and I was fading. So I cast a spell on myself and broke any bond I had to you and I left from that torturous place. However, just leaving wasn't going to solve everything. I needed to forget it all, so I made the decision to come here and be human."

He was silent for a while but he remained steady. Then he backed away, "I represented your fears to help you grow stronger to over come them and I was well aware that I was not the hero in your eyes. But along the way I saw you change into a much stronger, braver girl and I didn't want to be the villain anymore. So I tried to keep you with me by offering you, your dreams. I should have figured that you would be defiant because I will always be a villain to you. That's why I wanted to leave, I wanted a fresh start, so I fabricated a life here in this world. I was happy here, so why did you have to ruin that for me? You have caused me enough pain and now you are doing it again. You barged into my life again and turned it upside down, Why can't you just leave me alone?"
