It was the night of Sarah's last day in the castle; after the clock struck twelve she would return to her life and possibly die. None of that plagued her mind however, she was happy to say the least. After the ball many questions arose but Jareth only had to give one of his looks to send the person flying in fear. The queen was a different matter altogether. She had asked Jareth what the meaning was for him dancing with a human and changing the rules out of the blue. Jareth told her that he had only wished to entertain both him and the human who were both horribly bored. Eriku seemed to understand or was just too tired to fight.

Of course with the changing of a new law came the mass amounts of paperwork much to Jareth's dislike. "How I despise paperwork." He had complained while throwing himself into Sarah's bed. Sarah just giggled and shook her head running fingers through silky, blond hair. It was like that for the rest of the night. The two spent much time together, catching up with each others lives, walking through the Labyrinth hand in hand, even making love almost every night. They were inseparable. The goblins had not missed what had happened and they didn't dare tell the queen in fear what Jareth would do to them.

Instead they planned. Most goblins are dumb but there are the few rare ones that are born as smart as the next creature. They find each other and plan a way to overthrow the King and take over. This has yet to happen and probably never will but that did not stop them from deciding to get rid of Sarah. It made Jareth too happy which the goblins did not like at all. Jareth was rude, mean, horrid to the goblins. He was constantly kicking them, calling them names, throwing them. In short he abused them and they were going to get him back in anyway they could.

One goblin had been spying on Jareth the whole time Sarah had returned. She peered her ugly head in when Sarah learned about her death, listened when the queen learned about her own misfortune, and watched as the girl and King made love. Yes, this goblin was the smartest of them all and knew exactly what had to be done to cause the King to break. With a huge, disgusting grin that only a mad person could own, the goblin joined the others to tell them of the plan. It was a good one but easy enough that all the idiots could join in.

Sarah had woken up to a huge commotion. Yelling, running, shuffling of feet, and curses could be heard over the closed door. Throwing a robe on Sarah walked over and peered out to see many goblins and elves rushing with urgency towards a room. A horrid scream could be heard the loudest and it seemed to come from that very room. Scared that something was wrong Sarah took a step out only to be pushed back against the wall by a female handling blankets that seemed to be covered in a red liquid. Features paling Sarah knew at once what was going on. Eriku was in labor.

Pushing pass the crowd Sarah rushed into the room only to back out in horror. Eriku was laying on blood soaked bed, her legs spread as elves encircled her trying hard to soothe the lady and take out the baby. Sarah had been out of the room when her step-mom gave birth to Toby, she had wanted children herself but now…Now, if she lived she thought she would be content with only Toby. Her eyes scanned the room but she couldn't find Jareth, she needed to get out though before anyone saw her or she fainted from the scene.

Arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her out of the room before she could do it herself. Sarah didn't struggle, she knew it was Jareth the moment her back pressed up against his chest. "I am so sorry Jareth."

"I knew this was going to happen." He murmured into her ear.

"Still…"

"Sarah, what's done is done. I love Eriku, yes but not as a wife, more as a friend or sister." Sarah turned around and saw the sorrow in his mismatched eyes as he stared out in the distance; he was sad yes but more from her death then a broken heart. Throwing her arms around his neck she held him close and was thankful when he placed his own around her body.

"What are you going to do now?" She wondered out loud.

"Sarah, I want…" Pulling back inches from his face she tilted her head to the side and waited for him to finish. "Sarah, I want you to stay. Stay with me as the new queen. I do not care what the other kingdoms will say, I do not care what the consequences of my actions will be. All I do care is what happens with you. That is that you stay with me." To Jareth's surprise Sarah placed her lips to his and kissed him deeply for the first time in front of everyone who looked; which was very few due to what was happening in the next room.

Jareth pulled her close to him before pulling back and nuzzling her. "I love you Sarah."

"I love you too Jareth." They were about to kiss once more but were interrupted when a elf walked up to Jareth and bowed his head.

"I am sorry to tell you Sire-"

"Eriku is dead…" His features were cold, emotionless, dead. Sarah was the only one who knew though that inside he was crying and his heart was breaking.

"I am deeply sorry Sire."

"And the babe?" Looking up with a pained expression the elf could only shake his head. Turning away Jareth threw a crystal ball in anger disappearing within the smoke.

"Jareth!" Sarah yelled afterwards while rushing towards the dissipating smoke.

"Let him mourn." Was all the elf said before returning to the deathly silent room to clean up the mess. She was about to fight back, yell, scream at the elf for telling her what to do but she came to the conclusion that the elf was right. Tears streamed down her face for the sorrow Jareth must be facing, for the death of the kind women, to the death of the baby who never got to see his dad. Tears rolled down her face for Toby, for her dead parents, and finally for her. With those two deaths it seemed that all her demons were returning.

Distant chimes could be heard as a warty, rough hand was placed on Sarah's shoulder. "Mrs. Sarah must follow me!" Looking up Sarah cast her reddened eyes back down when she saw it was only a goblin. Who sounded strangely like a female, she didn't even know female goblins existed but they had to reproduce somehow. "Goblin King told me to get Mrs. Sarah." The female goblin sounded even more urgent this time; at the sound of Jareth Sarah stood up without a word and took the goblins outstretched hand.

"Where are we going?"

"To special room."

"Special room?"

"Yes, special room that Mrs. Sarah will like." Skeptical but wanting to see Jareth all the same she walked into the door that the goblin lead her into. It was empty, dusty, and looked strangely like an attic. One wall held a large mirror not unlike the one she had seen in the ballroom and reflecting back at her was Jareth. Turning around she saw the goblin smiling widely at her but no Jareth. Taking a step foreword she gazed deep into the glass and gasped when Jareth held a hand out to her. "Goblin King wants you to take his hand." Sarah looked uncertain but wanted to feel his hand wrap around hers once more.

Pushing her hand against the glass she was shocked to find it go through instantly feeling cold. She was about to pull it back out but pressure shoved her whole body inside. The last thing she heard was the evil cackle of the female goblin then once more nothing.

Jareth had the whole room set up. Silky, red blankets, candles, beautiful, scented, rare flowers. Everything except Sarah. He was doing this for her even though he still felt numb to the core from Eriku's death. He needed to do this, to show her that he did love her. The clock struck twelve and a feeling of lost filled the King up. "Sarah." Rushing out of the room, he threw the door open and called for his goblins. No one came. Scared of what was happening he rushed to the one room he hoped was still boarded and locked up; the place when he sent the babes back to the real world when he was too lazy to send them back on his own.

He had it locked up in case the goblins wanted to take a field trip; the human world would not take it easily if they succeeded in that. Stopping dead in his tracks Jareth fell to his knees in anguish crying out when he saw the girl shoved into the mirror. "No!" Anger gave him strength as he stood up to full height striding to the damn creature who was laughing hysterically but cut short when his large fist grasped her neck and broke it in one try.

Throwing the dead creature into the wall he jumped into the mirror hoping it was not too late. He made it into Sarah's hospital room in time to look into the window. She was so sick. Her skin was pale and marred by cuts and bruises, her eyes shut closed and chest hardly moving. He was invisible so the doctors did not notice when they rushed into the room with tools Jareth had never seen before. Scared as to what they were doing he watched in mix emotions of horror and awe.

It seemed like only a few minuets passed of the men cut Sarah up and did things to her inside that made Jareth want to stop them. The Goblin King felt as though they were only trying to help her but he felt he could do better. Magic wouldn't help though, he knew that her injuries were far too much out of his league and the damage was done in this world it had to be fixed in this world. A long, drawn, out beeping noise caught Jareth's attention. A flat line flashing across the screen, the men bowing their heads, the sheet covering Sarah's face. Jareth knew he had lost his love.

A week later Jareth walked to the graveyard. The people in black had already left the gravestone crying their tears, moaning stories and thoughts of the lost girl. The one man they could not see was the one man who was broken the most. He wouldn't dare show it however if they had see him, he would just lay his red, rose on her sight and disappear back into the world they would never know.
