'I don't understand Edward…how is that possible.' Jareth was slumped on a large chair in his overly sized office. Both his legs were placed over the side of the arm in the chair his ridding crop taping his head lightly, as if trying to drum the explanation in. He looked over at his consort who seemed to be thinking how best to breaking the news to a King who was known for loosing his temper.

'I'm not to sure myself sire, this is the only explanation and I have spoken to wise man of the labyrinth and he agrees with me. After Sarah left the Labyrinth 3 years ago she still had the beliefs and imagination which will last her for the duration of her life. The Labyrinth itself noticed in her visit them many years ago of the strength, it effected it in more ways than we could of imagined. She…' Edward cautiously stopped and looked over at his King who had noticed the pause. Jareth glared at Edward commanding him to continue. 'Well…she bewitched you and made impact on other creatures that lived here, so much that they were willing to betray their King. As I was saying…after she left the Labyrinth sensed that her power of her mind would remain and grow stronger so throughout the 3 year absence quantities of magic; our magic and some of your magic sire was given to her without her awareness.'

'My magic? How is that possible I feel no weaker or no different for that matter? So can she use magic now then?' Jareth was trying to cram this into his brain even though he was very clever he didn't really understand what Edward was saying.

Edward took a deep breath before continuing, 'Yes sire your magic, you won't feel weaker because you are still growing stronger you are only 100 years into your reign and your powers stop growing after 240 years if I'm not mistaken. If you were hypothetically to marry Sarah she would be able to do some magic but not a lot as she still is human, she cannot do magic at her own will but due to her mind being so open to any possibility; as we saw the other night her mind is strong enough to use it sub consciously.

Back to the story, where was I? Oh yes…as she returned here with you recently the Labyrinth was made aware of her return and triggered Sarah's magic. However the labyrinth is unaware of the environmental changes that have happened in Sarah's life it just senses different kinds of power. She has grown up quickly and due to the circumstances she was forced to so she could deal with it, she has encountered a lot of things no teenager or any adult should have to deal with. Her experiences in the last 3 years has robbed her mind of the happy things Sarah used to imagine being replace with thoughts and images of her…' Edward stopped at the hand raised by the Goblin King.

'Thank you Edward I don't think you need to remind ourselves of her situation. Now I have one more question before I return to Sarah before she wakes how do we stop the dreams apart from the potion you are giving her? What do I need to do?'

Edward thought for a moment he was unsure how to reply, how was he to tell him? I can't he would never allow it…or.

'Well?!' Jareth's anger was rising he didn't like to be kept waiting.

'The first option is to send her back Aboveground there she will be safe from her dreams.'

'WHAT!!! I am not sending her up there again her father will find her and there will be nothing I can do to stop it; you know the rules. How dare you even mention that option!' Jareth practically held the urge to hit his consort who he was considering a rehire of him. 'What's the second option' he had seemed to calm down for now.

'The second option my liege is to…let it take its natural cause allow the dreams to die down. Of course I will still give her the potion as I think this will stop anymore unwanted stress bought to Sarah. Although sire I may warn you more flash backs could appear…and not from the dream. But purely the ordeal Sarah has undergone.'

Jareth's face was expressionless, 'So there isn't much of a solution then.' Jareth watched as the little man shook his head and sighed. 'that is all Edward.' He gestured his hand in the air and flicked his hand to instruct the little man to leave. Edward walked out into the hallway and he closed the door behind him.

When Sarah awoke she found the arms that were wrapped around her from last night were no longer there. She sat bolt upright, she fidgeted under the covers. Where was he? Omg he left…he couldn't handle me this way…I knew this was too good to last. Silent tears trickled down her pale cheek she didn't even brush them away she was alone, no one was around who cared to see her cry. 'Sarah?'

Her head shot up to the direction of the voice that had just called her name. She shook away the tears that were brimming over her eyes, into view came Jareth sat next to her on the bed looking concerned. 'I'm fine.' She noticed his hand only millimetres away from her were now linking in her own. 'I just thought you had left me…being fed up with me as I'm not like I used to be.' this was now or never she thought surely he will tell me what how he feels about…everything.

Jareth pulled himself closer to her however not taking his eyes of her. 'Sarah I love you and I promise you with all my heart I will never leave you.' Sarah was taken back by these words obviously she was expecting something else. He suddenly was drawn from his thought when he felt her put her arms around his waist nuzzling her head into his chest. He responded by kissing her head softly 'Do you feel up to do something fun?' he asked shocked at himself for now he actually had to think of something.

'Sure' she replied smiling into his shoulder. She knew she could begin to cope again with her life.
