Jareth appeared in front of the person who called him. Surprisingly it was Sarah. Well, perhaps not to surprising in his mind. "You called my dear Sarah?" Sarah growled. "Where is she Jareth. I know you took her." He only smiled with a soft chuckle. "Why she is sitting in my throne room awaiting my return." He lifted his hand which held a crystal ball. "Look" She peered into the crystal seeing her daughter.
She looked up at him seeing right past his mask and straight into his mind and what he had planed. "You..you.." Sarah was so afraid to lose her only child she could hardly speak. "Give her back!" Jareth didn't smile now but frowned his temper a flair. "Why should I, Sarah?" She glared at him her own temper just as bad. "Because she does not belong to you. She wasn't even wished away. The book is hidden in my room."
With a smirk he reached up and touched her face. "You are right she doesn't now. But soon she will. You owe her to me. For all the destruction you caused." She slapped him hard across the face. "You bastard let her go." There had been a time when Sarah loved the Goblin King that stood before her. But over time he had darkened and would take what he pleased now without even asking, not that he ever truly did. But he had never taken something that did not want to be taken or was not allowed to be taken.
"hmm. I see where she gets her determination. But she will never add up to what you are and have always been my dear Sarah." He turned away from her now sitting on the bed with a smile. "But I suppose I could give her a choice. She knows why I brought her to the Labyrinth or at least she thinks she does. But that changes nothing. When I return the clock with start ticking and she will only have so much time to figure out why.
Sarah gasped at his words unable to believe that he had tricked her so. He only smiled and waited for her to speak. And then a thought crossed her mind he didn't know her daughters name and so he had no control over her. And Sarah laughed then softly. "Do you honestly think you could control her. Without her name you have no power over her. And you know it." His smile faded and he stood rage seemed to pour out of him as he advanced onto her.
"Do you think I will give her up so easily. Even without her name I have a small bit of control. And I will use that to get her name. And she will be mine. " Sarah was about to cry. And in a soft voice she begged. "Please Jareth. Let her go. Take me if you want. But let her go." He looked at her. And then thought. Her husband had died right before her daughters birth and her daughter was out of high school and could live in the house since it was paid for.
But old pains came back. "What would make you think I would want you now. You ripped apart my heart and now expect me to simply trade you for her?!" He growled through his teeth. Sarah pleded with him not wanting to see her daughters future and life put at stake. "Please Jareth. You can do what you want with me. But let her go." Jareth thought on her offer, but declined. "No, I will keep your daughter until I am ready to give her up. And don't think I wont use her for all shes worth." He dropped a crystal in her hand.
"If you so desire you may view your daughter at certain times. If I let you that is." Sarah looked at the crystal. "At least tell me why you are taking her. Why not me? I caused you the pain the destruction." He smiled slightly. "Because now it is your turn to suffer." His darkened mood had become worse but time could only tell what would change and what wouldn't. Sarah hit her knees crying as he disappeared in a rush of glitter and light.
