Chapter 3

Every soul is a melody, which needs renewing.

The Elfin palace stud out in the night as it was lit by the magic of her majesty Queen Vanatari. The pearl white castle gave light and hope to all those who would gaze at it, a hope that could not reach Sarah this night. It had been sixteen years from the time that she had left Jareth. She was standing in a very open hallway, waiting. Sarah's hair now barely reached her shoulders; she was covered from neck to toe with purple, green and white robe. Which was elf costume to wear for women of wealth power and motherhood. Those who would wear the robes would be treated with respect, purple meant wealth green meant power and white meant she was a mother. This was something that Sarah loved and thought was a great idea.

Tonight was an emergency that Sarah was waiting for sixteen years. Once she had left the Labyrinth Jareth searched the all the Universes for her, also he did not know about their child. Sarah sought refuge with Queen Vanatari with her child who was only three. Jareth was very close behind her and Sarah knowing that the only place was the elf kingdom, which was going through a war with the goblin kingdom. But now Jareth has settled that war with King Aeëtes and wished to visit the country and search for Sarah.

"Sarah. Come quickly." The whisper came from the one of the marble doors that appeared by enchantment. Sarah ran swiftly toward the door and paused. A figured appeared and stepped forward. Queen Vanatari's figure was thin and tall, with her silver hair covering most of her back. Her face was soft with no marks a freckle, dimple, or wrinkle. Her eyes where the same color hair, which made all her emotions misty and mysterious. Her tonic was a mixture of all colors, which stated her status as a queen and mother, not to mention her power.

"You must move fast if you want to be gone before he gets here." The queen said ushering Sarah into a corner of the hallway. "Jareth will be here within the hour."

"I know he's coming but I'm not running from him anymore." Sarah's expression was calm and collected. "I wont run from him anymore, when he comes I'll be waiting. Ask Demetrius to get her ready."

"I will. Anything else I can do?" The Queen asked.

"No. I'll be fine." Sarah said with a smile. "You've done so much for me not to mention for my family. I couldn't ask for a better friend."

"Your welcome anytime you want." The smile between them was the only thing that made Sarah feel better. It didn't last, after forty-five minutes of waiting Jareth arrived with a grand entrance of stomping through the once before peaceful hallway, which now was crowed with tiny goblins at his feet. Queen Vanatari was waiting in the middle of the hall and waited till Jareth paused in front of her. He bowed which was nice of him; she waited long enough for him to rise.

"Jareth I know what you want." She said not wavering with her harshness.

" I want what's mine, Vanatari and I know you have her. Give her back to me." Vanatari decided that was a plea and not a demand he had made in her country.

"Jareth I have not kept Sarah her against here will, she left you." She saw the anger behind his eyes.

"There are things here that you don't understand Vanatari." He said through his teeth. The anger and rage was running all the way through him like rapid fire. The thought to strike her here and now was immense, but self-control was key.

" I must see her. I have been empty without her. I need her." He said changing his way around the situation. The words Jareth were saying weren't fazing Vanatari.

" That's up to her Jareth." She decided to go at this point. She glanced back. "She'll be out in a moment." A marble slab moved aside so she could walk though it. Jareth stood in silence for what seemed an eternity. A sound came from behind him and Jareth turned and met the brown eyes that were his wife's. Something had changed in her, something that went so deep into her soul that Jareth couldn't grasp. He tried to speak but a whisper was all that could escape.

"Sarah." She smiled. In a way she had missed his voice, his touch, Him. She said the only this she could think of.

"Hi Jareth." She figured 'hi how have you been?' would be inappropriate. The air cleared out all the odd silences.

"What happen to your hair? And your cloths. I thought that was just a elf thing?" He tried to not sound so judgmental, but it did. Sarah's emotions altered and she straightened herself. She took a breath.

"Jareth, things have changed in my life and I have changed. The reason I left was because of what I had seen that day. The way you had destroyed those women was terrifying, I was scared." Sarah took another long breath. "I couldn't let my child grow up with that kind of life style." Sarah waited till she saw that Jareth had understood what she had said. She searched his eyes for what emotion was to appear. Rage, confusion, more rage.

"You had a child!" Was all that be said out of all his confusion. Jareth's mind wondered to all possible self-control he could muster. His heart was damaged before when he knew she had left him but now that she had a child, with someone else, he felt like he was being tortured. " Who is it! Whom did you breed with to make this child?" The intent was to challenge this foe. Sarah's emotions were perplexed for a moment. She was confused and came anger.

"Jareth, you are so quick to think that I have committed infidelity against you. It's your child. I left pregnant. I had found out that very day and I knew I couldn't let her grow up with you and a role-model father. That's why I ran because you were and monster and…" She halted briefly. "you still are. The rage come over him so fast that hi hand went flying before he could think. He stopped before his palm had stricken her face. Sarah's face was lifted high and her eyes were piercing into Jareth's with the intent to show her point. She lowered her head still giving Jareth a look of sternness. Jareth regrouped and relaxed himself before he spoke.

"Will you come with me to our kingdom?" He said with a please waiting on his lips. Sarah's saddened.

"You have yet to ask about you child." Jareth looked thrown at her words and thought carefully as if he could only have one question.

"Can I see…is it a boy or a girl?" Two questions in one, Sarah smiled.

"A girl. And yes you can see her." As if by magic between mother and daughter another marble stone door moved from the hallway. Jareth didn't relies he had been holding his breathe. All her could see coming out from the wall was two bright eyes. Eyes that had one green and one blue.
