Chapter 2:
WARNING: This contains extremely sexual scenes. It is a Jareth/Sarah lemon fic, but there is some romance involved too. The lemon is just not worth it if you don't have a good story leading up to it.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When Sarah opened her eyes, she still felt very groggy. Hazy as it was, she still remembered the roses, which now lay next to her on the bed. She hadn't noticed it before, but some of her Valentine tears had fell onto the softness of the petals, giving some of the roses that "freshly watered" look. She stole a glance out her bedroom window to see that it was still dark outside.
Though she knew not why, timid fingers reached out to pick up the roses once more. When she looked at them, she was mezmerized, when all of her tears ran together and pooled in the center of one of the flowers. They formed one huge, perfectly round droplet.
'No,' Sarah realized, a moment too late. 'It's no longer a tear, it's a crystal!'
A feeling of dread hit her, when it rolled to the floor, completely silent. She watched, horrified, as it rolled in a small circle around her carpet, before disappearing under her bed. Sarah jumped down from the bed, and tried to follow it; to catch it. But try as she might, she could see it's reflective glow in all the shadows that lie under there.
When at last she gave up, and stood back up, she felt eyes upon her. It was strange, because she hadn't felt that way before. As soon as she turned around, Sarah really wished she hadn't. For there, on her bed, sprawled out and looking sexy as ever, was the Goblin King.
Her mind froze. School, Valentine's Day, sadness, home, stepmother, Toby, room, crying, roses, sleep, tears, crystal, bed, Jareth! It was too much for her, and she wanted to scream. But when his mismatched eyes met hers, she just could not do anything. There he was, with one arm placed behind his head, and his legs crossed comfortably, just lying there in her room, as if he'd been there all along.
It was a long time before either of them spoke. He seemed to be simply taking her in, while Sarah stood there gawking at him. She had noticed there were now thousands of candles scattered throughout her room, illuminating the darkness. They were casting a soft glow on his delicate, perfect features.
"What do you want?" She finally found her voice, that had been hiding somewhere within her mind for so long.
He arched an eyebrow at her, but did not move from the way he was. It made her nervous to see him that, in her bed. "I simply wish to talk. Is that really asking so much of you, Sarah?"
His lips speaking her nae was like a gentle, merciless caress of her innocence. She smiled in spite of herself, but then realized that what was happening was insane! Or maybe she was...
"We can't talk here! We're in my room. And my- my parents will hear us..."
"Let them hear."
That was it, and he was moving off the bed, and toward her, even as she was backing away. His movements were hypnotic, and cat-like. Or was he just showing off to her when he did that?
She screamed. "Don't come near me!"
Sarah's fear grew even worse when she felt her back hit the wall. She was overcome with so many different emotions that she did not know what to do! A part of her, she knew, loved him. But at the same time, she was scared of him, too.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Disclaimer: I do not own Jareth, Sarah, or anything recognixable from Labyrinth. If I did, I would not be writing fanfiction, I would be making millions with a sequel to the movie. Thank you all for reading!
A/N: I'm so glad I got this chapter up already, yay! Looks like Jareth is getting somewhat more of a fight than he bargained for. We'll see whether or not she comes around, in time... (Hint: She does!) Anyway, Please R&R. I want to know if I did okay with this chapter or not. I think the idea of the tears falling on the roses, and then turning into a crystal was original enough for you! Lol. I loved that part... (::sigh::) If only... Oh, and happy early Valentine's Day to everyone! (::hands out V-day cards, and boxes of chocolate to everyone who reads my author's notes::)
