Author's Note: Jeez, it takes me a really long time to write chapters. Sorry about that. Please don't forget to review and I hope you like how the story is going so far. Anyway, I do not own any of Jim Henson's characters or the Labyrinth. Thank you for reading so far and sorry I haven't updated sooner. I appreciate it. :D

Twirling.

Sarah twirled in her stunning white ball gown passing fellow party goers. She twirled passed her friends, Hoggle, Sir Didymus, and Ludo. They waved at their friend who rushed passed them. She smiled at them. She laughed and giggled as she spun around the room. She twirled until she fell into the hands of a familiar man. He smiled at her deviously and pulled her close to him. Sarah couldn't stop from gazing at his mismatched eyes. So enchanting...and mysterious. There was something familiar about this man. Had she met him before? She was sure that she had.

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes.
A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes.
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes.

He whispered to her. His voice was just as enchanting as his eyes. How she longed to be held by this man forever. He nuzzled his nose into her neck and breathed deeply. Sarah closed her eyes and sighed, placing her hand on the man's cheek.

"Sarah..."

She sighed once again, waiting for him to finish...

"Sarah..."

Sarah shifted uncomfortably as the man pulled her closer.

"You're mine, precious..."

"SARAH!"

Sarah's eyes shot open to see her little brother, Toby, standing on the side of her bed. She rubbed her eyes of sleep and sat up slowly brushing her hair out of her face.

"What were you dreaming about Sarah?" Toby said grabbing her hand and pulling her out of bed.

"I don't remember Tobes." Sarah lied.

Toby pulled her out of her room and down the stairs where she could smell something from the kitchen.

"Mom, I woke up Sarah." Toby announced triumphantly and sat down at the table in the kitchen.

Karen, Sarah's stepmother, smiled and patted the young boy on the head and placed a plate full of scrambled eggs on the table. Sarah groaned and stretched out her arms before slumping down in the chair next to her brother.

"It is always a challenge to wake up Sarah in the morning." Her father chuckled taking a sip of his coffee.

"What can I say..." Sarah began, taking a big scoop of eggs and putting them on her plate, "I like to dream."

"Sarah, What do you plan on doing today?" Karen asked while scooping up eggs to put on Toby's plate.

"Don't worry Karen, I'm going to get a summer job today." Sarah replied.

She was so annoyed of Karen nagging her all the time. It was beginning to drive her insane. I mean she was eighteen for god sakes, she could handle herself. Sarah bit into her first bite of eggs and within minutes she finished and retreated back up into her room. Once there, she closed the door and went to sit on her bed. Ever since Sarah had bested the Labyrinth she had been having the same dream almost every night. It had been three years since the Labyrinth and these obsessive dreams were still occurring.

"Stupid dreams." Sarah mumbled.

"Jareth?"

The Goblin King was sweating badly.

"Jareth, my dear, wake up."

Jareth opened his eyes to see his wife leaning over him. Raena. Her lovely sapphire eyes pierced into his mismatched ones, and he could feel her long blonde hair tickling his bare chest.

"Raena, what is the matter?" Jareth asked emotionless.

"You were sweating in your sleep my love, is everything alright?" Raena had the deepest concern in her voice.

He looked away from her gaze and turned to stand up from his silk bed.

"Everything is fine..." He sighed, "Just a silly nightmare."

Raena smirked at her husband and walked over to where he stood. She traced his chest delicately with her finger.

"Are you telling me, that the Great Goblin King was sweating over a silly little nightmare?" She teased.

Jareth chuckled at his wife. Raena and he had been married for a year now. They were betrothed unwillingly. His mother, Titania instructed him to find a Queen or lose the throne. Jareth certainly did not want to lose the throne to one of his brothers, so he married someone from the Fae Court. Raena was the easiest, and also most beautiful so he chose her. He pitied this woman because he knew he did not have strong feelings for her at all.

Raena's hands drifted lower down his chest. Jareth sucked in a quick breath. Although he did not love this woman, he couldn't deny that he was attracted to her.

"Raena," Jareth purred and pulled her close, "You truly are a tease."

He lifted her chin and kissed her softly before pulling away and walking towards his dresser. He washed his face in a basin full of water and put on his tights and boots before throwing on and silk white poet shirt.

He turned to his wife, who was busy with a goblin servant lacing up her dress.

"I don't know why we have to have these vile creatures as our servants." Raena whined and shooed away the goblin once the dress was finished.

"Well, I am the Goblin King." Jareth stated.

"Yes," Raena began, "But just because you are the Goblin King doesn't mean you have to have goblins as your servants. Why not have some nice human servants instead?"

Jareth sighed impatiently, "We will discuss this later, right now I have important business to attend to."

"Don't forget today is our anniversary." Raena called just before Jareth left the bedroom.

Jareth stalked down the hall toward his throne room. His mind went over his dream. He was with his Sarah. His beautiful Sarah, offering her her dreams. She was hesitant and cautious, but she was going to accept. Right when she began reaching for his crystal she backed away.

"You have no power over me..."

Those words haunted him. Oh how he missed his precious. He missed feeling her presence. He missed frightening her and challenging her. She was going to be his Queen. His love. His life. But she refused. His love refused him. Jareth gripped the pain in his heart which quickly turned into the familiar emotion of anger. He stopped in his steps and conjured a crystal.

"Show me Sarah." He commanded.

First all he could see was fog, but then his beauty came into view. Her hair was still long, but it tended to curl towards the bottom. Jareth had watched Sarah grow each year, and each year she became more beautiful and mature. She was not the same little girl he met in the classroom long ago.

Sarah began talking to what seemed to be a young man about her age. He was tall lanky kid, but Sarah seemed to enjoy him. Jareth couldn't understand what they were saying to each other. Sarah smiled at the young man and hugged him. Jareth's anger turned to jealousy and he quickly slammed the crystal into the ground before he could see more, and continued to his throne room.

"Thank you so much for the job Danny." Sarah smiled and pulled her friend into a hug.

"Hey Sarah, you know I would do anything for you." He sighed not wanting this moment to end.

Danny and Sarah had become friends only two years ago, but he found himself growing very attached to her. She was strong and outgoing, brave, and not to mention quite beautiful. Danny knew that when he first met Sarah he would one day win her heart. One day...

"If you hadn't offered this job to me, I would have been slaughtered by Karen." Sarah joked and pushed away from the hug feeling slightly awkward.

"Hah, well working at a library wouldn't be much better than being slaughtered." Danny laughed.

"It shouldn't be that bad," Sarah giggled, "Besides, I love books."

Silence killed the moment and soon the situation became quite uncomfortable.

"So," Sarah sighed breaking the silence, "When should I start?"

"Well," Danny walked over to a pile of books and picked them up, "You could start now."

He placed the books in Sarah's hands. She rolled her eyes at her friend, then turned to go return the books to their rightful places.
