* Please Review even though this story is completed! I am changing things up a little bit. I am putting rules in that might not have been in the movie. Jerry is ruthless but not with Lyric. His ruthlessness will come out. Thank you so much for the adds and the reviews!
Mrs. Reedus- that's for being such a faithful follower and reviewer!
TheDoctorRose- I'd like to think he was a psycho because he had no one to love, LOL
BloodDeathandGlory- thanks for the reviews!*
Jerry slipped into the booth across from Lyric. He had followed her to a local bar. The dream she had was still on her mind, he could tell by the way she blushed a few times in the parking lot. Jerry was good at hiding his smile. He was glad he was having such a strong effect on her. He just needed get to get rid of the boyfriend then Jerry could sweep in and claim her as his own again.
" Where did you meet that boyfriend of yours?" He asked after they ordered drinks.
" At the diner, actually." She said.
" Did you know he was married?" Jerry asked. Lyric shook her head.
" No. I would have never given him my number." She said. " I mean, it's not like I do this kind of thing often. I don't make it a habit of dating married men."
' No, you don't.' He thought.
" You don't have to explain anything to me, Lyric. I don't think you're a bad person." Jerry said with a smile. They both muttered a thank you to the waitress then took a hold of their drinks.
" It's just," She shook her head and sighed as she stared into her glass. " I don't know. I guess he made me feel special for a while."
" Plenty of men can make you feel special for a while. A good man will make you feel special all the time." Jerry said. Lyric smiled and laughed as she looked at him.
" Where do you come from? You have an accent but I can't place it." Jerry smiled and sat back in the booth.
" Well, I'm from everywhere." He said.
" You move around a lot?" She asked.
They spend a good while talking and getting to know each other. She was still easy to make laugh and every time she did, it made him smile. He was reminded again and again of why he had fallen for her all those hundreds of years ago. Her hair style changed, her accent changed, and her style of dress was different but she was same girl he had first laid eyes on 600 hundred years beforehand. After a while, Lyric's phone went off. She pulled it out of her pocket and frowned at the screen.
" Is that him?" Jerry asked as he watched her text quickly.
" Yeah." Lyric said. " He wants to know what I'm doing." She sighed as she finished sending him the message. She sat the phone down and smiled up at him. Jerry leaned forward, placing his hand on top of hers.
" He's never going to leave her, you know that." He said. Lyric sighed again when her smile died down.
" I know."
" He's not right for you. You deserve a better man than that. Someone who will treat you right and give you everything you need." He let his finger lightly rub against the top of her hand for a minute before he pulled away from her.
" I know I should break it off with him." Lyric said. Jerry smiled and looked towards the dance floor as a slow song started. He looked back at her.
" Dance with me." He said. She smiled and shook her head.
" No, thank you, I don't dance." Jerry leaned forward again and placed his hand on top of hers. He caught her eyes and held them. He pulled her deep into a trance.
" You will get up and slow dance with me. You will let me hold you close to me and we will dance the entire song. Do you understand, Lyric?" Jerry asked low. Her eyes were glazed her as he glamoured her.
" I understand." She said slowly. Jerry nodded and sat back, letting his hand slide from hers. Lyric frowned slightly and shook her head. " I'm sorry, what were you saying? I must have blanked out or something." Jerry smiled.
" I asked you to dance with me." He said.
" Okay." Lyric said. When they stood up, Jerry took a gentle hold of her arm and led her to the dance floor.
' What am I doing?' She asked herself. ' Why am I dancing with this guy I don't even know?'
Jerry's right arm went around her waist while her left one came to rest against his shoulder. Their free hands clasped together and he held them against his chest. He smiled as he pulled her against him. She fought to keep her eyes open. He smelled so good and a good smelling man was one of her weaknesses. She wanted to rest her head against his chest, snuggle into him and close her eyes. He smiled down at her as they swayed slowly together. She fit perfectly against him and he still loved it.
" Why do I feel like I know you?" She asked as she searched his eyes. Jerry smiled.
" I just have one of those faces, I guess." He said. Then he leaned down, capturing her eyes again. "You will dream of me again tonight and remember it in the morning. I'm there inside you, just pull me out. Remember the night I first met you when you were Elizabetha." He straighten up, letting her go. Once again Lyric blinked in confusion.
" I'm sorry. What where you saying? I'm completely blanking out tonight. I don't know what's wrong with me." She said. Jerry squeezed her waist as he smiled.
" I have kept you out too long. You must be tired." He said. " Come on, Lyric, let me walk you to your car." He said.

Jerry watched as Lyric dropped her bag on her table. She shook her head and sighed. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to one side. She shook her entire body then opened her eyes again. She jogged up the stairs to her bed room where she went to the window and opened it. She jumped when Jerry's face appeared suddenly. Before she could scream Jerry started to glamour her.
" Invite me." He ordered.
" I invite you in, Jerry." Lyric said with glossy eyes.
" Where is your spare key?" He asked.
" Under the mat at my front door." She said.
" In the morning you will find a new place for it, a safer place. Buy one of the fake rocks that hide your keys. Forget that you just saw me." He ordered before he pulled away. Lyric jumped and shook her head again.
" What the hell is wrong with me?" Jerry heard her whisper.

Jerry sat in her bed with his legs out in front of him, his ankles crossed. He was running his hand through her hair as she slept. He smiled then leaned down. He pressed his lips to her temple. He missed her so much and was so glad he had finally her again. He couldn't wait to kiss her and hold her close again. He couldn't wait until Nick was completely out of the picture.
" Sleep restfully, my love." He whispered.

Elizabetha had known better than to ride alone but she was so tired of being followed all the time. She had just wanted some time alone, some time to think, expect now she was lost. She was in the woods and it was dark. She had been so lost in her own thoughts, she hadn't been paying attention to where the horse had wandered.
" Are you lost, Love?" Came a voice. Out of the darkness walked a talk, dark haired man.
" I am afraid so. I wasn't paying attention as my horse walked." She answered quietly.
" What is your name?" He asked as he came up to her.
" Elizabetha LaMont." She said. He smiled.
" I am Jareth LeFae. If you would like, I can lead you home." He said. When she didn't answer, he smiled. " Do not be frightened of me. I will take care of you." He smiled again and held his hand up to her. Elizabetha handed him the reins and he started pulling the horse towards the direction of her father's land.
" It's very kind of you to help me." She said. Jareth kept his smile. " Are you the Lord who bought the old LaRue land?"
" I am, Love. We are neighbors." He said.
They talked quietly together as he walked the horse. She laughed softly at the light things he said and that made him smile. When they walked up to the main house, a few servants, followed by her father, came outside quickly. Her father rushed to her. Elizabetha was his only child. He had lost her mother during childbirth so they were very close.
" Elizabetha, I have been so worried." He said.
" I'm sorry. I got lost." Elizabetha said.
" You know better than to go out alone." He lightly scolded his daughter. Jareth handed the reins to a servant then held his hands up to her. Elizabetha smiled and slipped her hands into his. He helped her down to the ground. " I am forever in your debt for bring my daughter home safely. Please tell me how I can repay you." Her father said. Jareth smiled as he let go of her.
" I wish to call upon your daughter tomorrow evening." He said.
" You wish to call upon her?" Elizabetha was moving to her father.
" Yes, if that is alright with you." Jareth said. Lord LaMont smiled and nodded.
" I think that is the least we can allow you to do." He said.
