Hey people thanks for all the awesome reviews! Thank you to the reviewer who drew my attention to the spelling. It seems you can't trust those bloody spell checks! It actually changes it automatically sometimes which is not cool.

Its good to have some constructive criticism so please keep reviewing.

'You bastard. You've been watching me the whole time haven't you?' She drew back her fist which was quickly caught and held in his bruising grip, the strength of his hand bringing tears to her eyes. Jareth smirked and drew her close again. 'Why yes love I have. You see I always knew you would be coming back to me and I figured it would be best if I knew a little about you before you returned.'

Sarah was speechless. She struggled to get out of his grip but he wouldn't let her. 'You should never raise your hand to a King Sarah. Didn't all those fantasy novels at least teach you that much?'

Sarah ignored him. 'How long have you been watching me?' She asked shakily.

Jareth threw back his head and laughed. 'Why ever since you left the labyrinth my dear.' He knew he shouldn't be telling her this but it felt so good to mess with her head.

'Don't you mean ever since I defeated your stupid maze Goblin King?'

Mismatched eyes narrowed furiously. 'You will call me Jareth unless we are in the presence of other company.' He told her coldly.

Sarah smirked. 'Luckily for me I'll be going home soon so that rule won't really apply for long.' She said.

Jareth released her and stepped back. 'Choose denial if you will Sarah. However I believe you require some rest right now.' He told her as he looked her up and down.

Sarah's hair had come down from what had been an elaborate up-do and her long black dress looked like it had seen better days. Eye makeup was smeared under her eyes and her face was tear-streaked. She was wavering unsteadily on her feet and looked like she was ready to fall asleep where she stood.

'No way.' She told him immediately. 'I'm not going anywhere. I know exactly what you're planning Goblin King.' His eyes blazed at the use of his title but he waited for her to continue. 'I go to sleep while you terrorise my fiancé. You break the rules somehow, and I wake up and get told that Jake lost and I have to stay here. So thanks for the offer but I'm good.'

With that she turned her back on him and sat down to watch Jake and Hoggle in the mirror. Jareth watched her for a full minute before grabbing her arm and yanking her to her feet. 'I believe I ordered you to call me Jareth.' He told her dangerously. 'And staying awake is not an option dear Sarah. I will reorder time for you once again so that only an hour will pass for anyone in the labyrinth while you can sleep as much as you like.'

Sarah studied him as she considered his offer-no order. She was exhausted. The party had finished around midnight and then she had fought with Jake. She had been on an emotional rollercoaster all night and could really use a nap. Yet how did she know the Goblin King would keep his word?

'While I appreciate the offer I'm really not tired.' She told him sweetly and turned to sit down again. Jareths eyes filled with rage and he grabbed her by the hair and turned her to face him. She winced, raising a hand to fend him off and he let her go as he got a glimpse of the pain in her eyes.

'So stubborn Sarah. However you really do not have a choice.' He waved his hand and she felt her legs collapse under her. She blinked her eyes and struggled to stay awake. 'Don't fight it love. I give you my word that I will let you watch the rest of your fiancés time in the labyrinth.' Jareth caught her before she could hit the ground and she was fast asleep by the time he had lifted her in his arms.

He took her to the Queens chambers and lay her down on the huge bed. Placing her under the blankets he brushed back a lock of hair off her forehead. Jareth used this moment of peace to study her openly.

The years had been good to Sarah. She no longer had the look of one struggling between childhood and adulthood and was now most definitely a women. Long, black lashes framed the most striking eyes he had ever seen on a mortal. Her skin was pale and clear, but held a natural blush along her cheekbones. Jareth was pleased to see that she hadn't cut her hair and it was still as long and beautiful as always. Her figure had filled out nicely, he observed. Her sport kept her fit and lean while she still had womanly curves.

Stepping back he grinned to himself as he thought about what was going to happen next.

Jake was completely and utterly lost. He had fallen into some hole a while back and Hoggle had shown him how to get out. Now he was wandering down a long tunnel. Hoggle had filled him in on Sarahs trip here before although it had taken him a while to convince Jake that she had really wished away Toby. 'But she loves that kid!' He had protested angrily.

'Aye but Sarah didn't realise that until after she had wished him away.' The dwarf had told him wisely.

Jake was currently filling Hoggle in on everything Sarah had accomplished while she had been away.

'She's really smart.' He told him. 'And she can fight better then most men I know! We were planning to get married at Christmas…' He trailed off sadly. Jake still couldn't believe Sarah was with that evil man. His urge to protect her was so strong that he didn't know what to do now that she was out of his sight.

Suddenly a voice startled him into taking a step back.

'Yes she is quite the catch isn't she? I think she will fit in rather well in my castle.'

Jake rolled his eyes as he realised who it was. 'Where is she? If you've hurt her I swear to god-' Mocking laughter cut off his tirade.

The Goblin King appeared in all his glory. Startled, Jake took a step back. Jareth raised an eyebrow. 'You'll what? Shout at me?'

He turned to Hoggle. 'Tut tut Hogwart. I'm rather surprised to see you defying me again. I let you off ten years ago but don't think you will be as lucky this time Hogbreath.'

Hoggle trembled and hid behind Jake. 'Why are you doing this?' Jake asked him. 'You such a sore loser that you felt the need to ruin Sarahs life again?'

Jareth paled with rage. 'Did you ever wonder, boy, why Sarah never told you about me? Given her reaction when she saw me I would hardly think it is because I am an insignificant part of her teenage years. Perhaps it is the exact opposite hmmm?'

Jareth leaned close to him, aware that he was very intimidating when he was angry.

'I think I have been in her thoughts every single day for the last ten years. Tell me…did she ever look at you like she didn't see you? Ever seem distracted when you kissed her? Because here's what I think: Sarah thought of me every time she looked at you. I was the one man who she could have had but was too scared to take the chance. I was with you through Sarah every minute of every day.'

He laughed loudly, and the sound startled both Jake and Hoggle.

'How do you know that she wasn't thinking of me every time you made love? Because I think she was imagining my hands touching her, my lips kissing her, my body pleasuring her. And I think the minute you saw the expression on her face when she laid eyes on me again you knew this. And that's why you are so desperate to get her back.'

And with that the Goblin King disappeared, leaving a very shaken and confused Jake behind.
