"Jareth?!" but his name had barley rolled off her tongue before he ruffly picked her up teleporting. The dress had fallen from her grasp. Within seconds they were standing in the ball room. "What the hell! Put me down." Jareth did as she wished and not to gently. "Get to know this room because it is where you will be spending the night, with me. Weather you like it or not." Lana glared. "I will not! You don't own me." But she soon regretted ever speaking. Jareth moved quickly and was right in her face. "Is that so, my dear Lana?"

Jareth grabbed her arm and they teleported again back into her room. "Then you can stay in here the rest of your life." Lana gasped. "But you said-" Jareth waved his hand. "I can go back on the deal just as easily as I could keep you here. Now chose one. The ball or your room for the rest of your life." Lana glared at him and turned her back to him. "Fine have it your way." Lana spun around but he was gone. "Jareth wait!" But he was already gone. "Noo.." Lana hit her knees and sobbed. "You bastered!!"

Jareth sighed sitting in his throne. "Damned girl." Summoning a crystal he watched her cry. Narena appeared. "My Lord..I" Jareth looked up at her, his eyes intense. "What is it?" She swallowed. "Did the girl chose?" Jareth growled. "She did, now leave you already know what she chose." Narena nodded and sighed leaving. Jareth went back to his crystal. "Damn you Lana. Why are you being like this." He hadn't realized that someone was standing behind him. "Because she is just like me."

Jareth jumped out of his chair and spun around. "SARAH?!" He looked like he had damned near had a heart attack. "Yes, Jareth." Jareth mumbled and glared. "How the hell did you get here?" Sarah chuckled. "My friends. I called on them to help me." Jareth growled. "Really now. And why is it you are here?" Sarah glared. "Why else? I want my daughter back. Now where is she?" Jareth smiled. "In her room"

He tossed Sarah the crystal and she looked into it seeing Lana. "Take me to her. I'm taking her home." Jareth sneered. "No, you aren't. She is mine for a year. That's the deal we made. If she can convince me within a year that she wants to go home then I will let her."Sarah growled. "At least let me see her." Jareth laughed. "Why? So you can put silly ideas in her head. I think not."

Sarah walked right up to him, her face mere inches from his. "Let me see my daughter now. At least for a while. You two may have made a deal, but I have every right to see her." Jareth didn't blink he didn't smirk he simply sat there. "fine you have ten minutes." He waved his hand and Sarah disappeared.

***************************************************************************

Sarah appeared in Lana's room. "Lana?" Lana's head jerked up hearing her mothers voice. "Mom!" she got up and ran to her mother clinging to her. Lana cried for a few minutes in her mothers arms and then stopped. "Ho..How..did you get here?" Sarah smiled. "My old friends brought me here. Jareth is only giving me ten minutes with you." Lana sighed and almost started to cry again. "Shh. Its all right Lana." Lana shook her head.

"No, its not, he said he'd keep me here for the rest of my life if I didn't go to that damned ball with him. Mom. I don't want to go. I hate him." Sarah sighed and nodded. "Well, I'm sure he was just trying to scare you. Just do as he says and make him see you don't like it here and want to come home." Lana nodded. "But how? He probably wont let me go even then. Mom. What does he want with me?" Sarah sighed. "I'm not really sure myself. I think he wants me to suffer like he did when I left. Really I don't know."

Lana hugged her mother not wanting to let go. "Please don't leave. I don't want to be alone." Sarah hugged Land tightly. "I know, and I-" But Sarah was gone. "Mom! No! Damn you give her back." Lana hit her knees. "give her back." She sobbed wanting nothing more then to go home. Jareth appeared. "Why should? You refused to be my guest at the ball. So why should I give you anything when you have given me nothing."

Lana was on her feet. "Just let me see her please. I'll go to the ball with you. Please just let me see her again." Jareth turned his back to her. "You will go either way. Like you said even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming all the way, you will go." And he was gone again in a rush of glitter.
