A/N: I know I uploaded this chapter a few days ago but no one was really happy with it and neither was I so I took it down and was re-writing it. Keep in mind that the previous chapters (besides the first chapter) have been a dream so it's not going to be very realistic. In dreams, you have control of what goes on so Jareth does have some power in that sense. If you have read this chapter, skip to the end. I changed the ending a bit and I like it a whole lot better.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Labyrinth...although it would be lovely to own it.
"Coma?" Jareth's eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes! She was in a car accident and went into a coma afterwards." Sarah's step-mother sniffed.
"I owe you one wish." the Goblin King disappeared and transported to the nearest hospital. Better change my attire before I scare some human, he thought. He magically changed himself into a pair of black jeans, tight of course, a navy blue t-shirt, and combat boots.
Jareth walked into the hospital and met the head nurse at the desk.
"Hello. I'm looking for a Sarah Williams." the nurse eyed him over.
"Does the patient know you sir?" she asked. He chuckled.
"Unfortunately yes." The nurse pursed his lips. She stood up and stepped from behind the counter.
"Come with me." she took Jareth down through a completely white hallway. The only sounds he heard were her heels clicking against the tile floor. The hallway lead to a single room. Sarah's room was white, just like the hallway, but she had flowers across the room. Get well balloons were placed in the corner.
"Oh my precious..." he sighed. Brown hair was perfectly laying across her pillow. Her skin was paler than he remembered. He sat down in a lone chair by her bedside and reached for her hand.
"Sarah...what happened?" his head hung down. He didn't notice that the head nurse was still in the room with tears in her eyes.
"Sir, visiting ends at 6 o'clock. It's almost time to go."
"Can I stay here? I'd like to be here when she woke up. I won't bother her," Jareth's hand stroked the sleeping girl's cheek. The nurse's tears threatened to flow over.
"Of course. If you need anything, just call for Marie." the nurse bowed and walked down the hallway. Jareth conjured himself a loveseat and a blanket. He laid down and closed his eyes.
"Son. Wake up." his father's voice echoed in his head. Jareth sat up quickly and looked around. Arman stood in front of him, decked out in black clothing.
"You did this to her!" Jareth yelled and slammed him up against the wall. Arman pushed his son off.
"There's one way to wake her. Do you want to know what it is?" Arman held out a blue crystal. Jareth snatched the crystal out of his hands and peered into it. There was his Sarah in a white dress. She beamed with joy as she walked down the aisle, his father escorting her. Then there was him. A dream Jareth stood at the altar, also smiling. Then he scowled and ran away. Sarah was left in shock, falling to her knees and sobbing.
"What is this? You want me to hurt her?"
"No! She's been living this nightmare for the past 3 months. You need to end it to wake her up."
"So how do I get into her dream?" Arman smirked.
"You always said the right words, didn't you?" Jareth felt like he was being sucked into the blue crystal in his hands. All of a sudden, Arman was alone with a sleeping Sarah and Jareth was in the crystal.
Jareth walked up the aisle to the altar. Even if it was a dream, butterflies invaded his stomach. And then Sarah walked in. He caught his breath. She was extremely beautiful. Green eyes danced with happiness along with icy blue. She had the same innocence that she had when she visited his Labyrinth. He took her hand in his.
"Have I told you how beautiful you are, precious?" Jareth whispered in her ear.
"You might have said it a few times." Sarah giggled while the priest droned on about true love and such.
"A few times is not enough, love."
"Do you King Jareth, ruler of the Goblin Kingdom, take Lady Sarah to be your wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, for eternity together?"
"I do."
"And Lady Sarah, do you-"
"I do!" Sarah leaned in and kissed Jareth. His arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her in more to the kiss.
"Good job Jareth." Arman's voice filled the dream. Jareth held onto the dream Sarah and was pulled out of the crystal. He found himself on the floor at Arman's feet. Jareth quickly stood up and ran to Sarah's side. Her eyelids fluttered and slowly opened.
"Hello Sarah." Jareth smiled at her.
"What's going on? You have no power over me!" she shouted. He gripped her handand forced her to look him in the eye.
"Sarah do you know what you were dreaming about?" a deep blush spread across her face.
"But-you-I-" Sarah stuttered. The man had known all about her dream. There was no hiding it.
"My dear, I do not mean to embarrass you at all. In fact, I was dreaming of the same thing." Jareth squeezed her hand lovingly. Her green eyes didn't hold the same happiness than in the dream. Her face was a mixture of shock, anger, and confusion.
"Goblin King, why are you here?" she forced out.
"Sarah mine. I figure you should know by now."
"It was all a dream...everything." she reassured herself.
"Sarah..." he shook his head. His hand left hers and tilted her chin upward to face him. Jareth planted a kiss on her lips. Sarah tried to push him off but soon gave in to his passion. He ventured deeper into the kiss. He pulled away slowly leaving Sarah gasping for air.
"Love, let's start again," he scooped her out of the bed and transported back Underground. Not without Sarah screaming to be let go though. The goblins were shocked to see the girl who ate the peach again.
"Kingy! Who dat?" one of the newer goblins squeeked.
"Everyone out!" Jareth bellowed. They all sprinted out of the throne room to avoid the king's wrath. He set Sarah down gently on the floor.
"Hello Sarah Williams. I am Jareth, King of the Goblins." he bowed to her, slipping into his gentleman character. What is he up to, Sarah thought. Is this what he meant by 'starting again'? She stood up.
"Jareth, we can't act like nothing has happened. That dream...it truly was how I felt. But I wonder if it was also how you felt? Would you really want to love someone like me, someone who rejected you and left you?"
"Don't forget precious, I also left you and hurt you. Will you forgive me as well?" Jareth questioned. Sarah sighed and nodded.
"Yes...I do." Jareth picked his love up and spun her around. He planted small kisses on her lips and hands. They both fell against his throne. Jareth sat her down in his throne and kneeled in front of her.
"My Queen." he smirked. He snapped his fingers and a small crystal, smaller than his normal ones, appeared in his hand. It became a small crystal crown, with emerald jewels along the side. Jareth stood up placed it on her head. Sarah stopped him for a second.
"Jareth, can I go say goodbye to my family? They must be awfully worried about me."
"Of course, precious!" he had known that she would want to go home and say goodbye to her family. She needed to tell them that she was leaving. And then they would have to meet Jareth. He could only imagine how they would react meeting him. Jareth brought her back to the hospital and laid her down in her bed. The nurse walked in at that moment.
"Miss Williams!" she gasped. The nurse ran down the hallway to get her superiors. Sarah was in perfect health, Jareth knew, she had only been asleep. He squeezed her hand, which was still holding onto him, and kissed her forehead gently.
Sarah shook her head and laughed. It seemed impossible for her to love the very man who stole her baby brother. But she never really did hate him, did she? No, in fact, she was fascinated with him. Jareth had the power to make her cower. He was strong enough to protect her. He loved her...She relished the thought. She had had boyfriends before but none like him. They didn't have the mysterious aspects that her Goblin King did, nor his wonderful blue eyes or his-
"Miss Williams, your family is here to see you." a nurse announced, interrupting her thoughts. Toby ran in and jumped into Sarah's bed and hugged her.
"Sarah! I missed you!" the little boy cried. Sarah squeezed Toby and smiled. Toby stared in awe at the tall man standing beside her bed. Irene and Robert stepped in as the nurse left.
"Hello Dad...hello Irene." Sarah greeted them. Irene burst out in tears. "Irene, it's fine," she comforted her step-mother, "I'm awake. No need to cry."
"You're right." Irene responded, wiping her tears away. "It's so good to have you back." She walked over and hugged Sarah.
"Sarah...who is that?" Robert asked, just noticing Jareth.
