When she opened her eyes Sarah didn't see Jared but Jareth! He looked angry and -- jealous! Quickly she stepped back and almost fell into the fire pit. She was in his throne room and the goblins were right out the door awaiting the Goblin King's command. She walked back some more till she felt the cold wall pressing against her back.
"Sarah. Sarah. Sarah." He said while getting up from his throne. "I have missed you so," he said smiling devilishly. He walked over to her and placed his hands next to her against the wall.
"Can't say I've missed you," she said angrily. She quickly ducked under his arm and ran towards the door, but the ways was blocked by goblins. They forced her back.
"Sarah," his haunting voice said behind her, "Why did you leave me?" He took some over her hair and smelled it.
Quickly she turned around so she would watch him. "You know why I left. I didn't want to stay with a man who could kidnap babies and turn them into goblins!"
He smiled, "You asked me to. I only take the babies when selfish little girls like you don't want them around." His response hit Sarah hard and made her feel guilty about how she used to treat Toby.
"Well since I rescued him obviously I can't be that selfish," she lashed back out. Suddenly she realized that someone what missing, "Where's Jared? she demanded.
Jareth's face contorted into a cruel mask. His green eyes filled with hate. "What makes him so special? I can give you everything you'll ever want! Anything, Sarah. What can he give you? Nothing!" Angrily he walked to his throne and sat down, his cane swinging in his hand.
"Because he's not you, that's why!" she shouted.
She started to say something else but Jareth raised a hand silencing her. "You might be surprised to find out that he and I have more in common then you think," he said, the anger in his eyes simmering down, but clearly still there. "Take her away!" he yelled to his goblins.
Quickly they rushed in and shoved her out of the room and up several flights of stares. When she would try to get past them they would growl and curse at her, using fright to make her go forward. Finally they reached the tallest tower. It held only one room and surprisingly it wasn't cold or too drafty. After they had pushed her in they shut the heavy wooden door with a loud thud. Silently she sat on the bed facing the window and looked out. She could see that many changes had been made to the Labyrinth, but other then that it was still the same.
The Goblin King still sat on his throne with one leg propped over the arm rest. He loved her so much. He had vowed to put the sky in her eyes and moon in her heart, but she wouldn't let him! What could he do? She was making everything so difficult. Soon he began to hum a sad haunting song. Then he put words to the sad melody.
"How I've pined for her
Wanting to be her lover
She has grown so beautiful
But her eyes are so dull
I'll give her my heart
And I'll do my part
To make her love me
That's the way is should be"
In his hand he held a crystal ball. He wasn't watching Sarah, but Jared. The one person he despised most at this time. In the ball he could see Jared fleeing from the pink feathered creatures.
