Lana gasped and ran into the room. "Jareth?!" She rolled him over. There were cuts on his faces along with bruises. Other parts of his body seemed to have similar wounds. "Jareth?!" She shook him slightly and he opened his eyes with a groan. "mph..mm..Lana?" He blinked and smiled slightly but then stopped. Closing his eyes he teleported them to the safety of his throne room in the Underground. Lana blink wondering why.

"Jareth are you all right?" She suppressed her curiosity and returned her attention to him. Jareth nodded and sat up his head spinning. He swayed slightly but spoke "I'll be all right." Jareth focused his power and healed what wounds he had. "damn him.." Muttering he stood up still dizzy and weak. He sat back down. Lana sat waiting for him to explain. He looked at her and sighed. Lana was lost and unsure of what to do at this point.

"I had better send you home. That might be the safest place for you." Lana shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere. Not until you explain what happened." Jareth looked away. "Lana..what happened doesn't concern you. You've got to understand that. I'm sending you home." Lana growled and glared at him. "How can you say that after what happened in your office?" Jareth tensed. "Because it was just kissing." When he looked at her his eyes were hard and cold and Lana let a tear slip down her check as she got up.

"I'm not going home. I don't care if I have to run from you. I'm safer here then I would be back there. If the person who attacked you knows where you live then their bound to know where I live." Jareth stood. "Lana you know I wouldn't let them hard you. Why are you so worried?" Lana shook her head. "Because you cant be there every moment of every day. And I don't think I could return to work. It wouldn't be the same without you there." Lana was crying now, tears ran down her checks and she ran through the large double doors into the castle.

Jareth sighed and created a crystal ball. "Why must she do this?" He spoke aloud. "I think we both know why brother..." Jareth's head snapped in the voices direction and he glared. "I figured you would be off hunting in the aboveground, Curt." Curt smiled wickedly. "I do believe what I'm looking for is already hear in the castle." Jareth walked to his brother. "You touch her and die." Curt laughed and disappeared. "This is my home to. You cannot tell me what and what not to do."

Jareth raised his crystal ball to find Lana, but he couldn't. "What?!" Jareth tried to teleport but he couldn't. He closed his eyes and called out to the Labyrinth but it wasn't there. "What the hell is going on?" Jareth took off running to find Lana. He had to hurry, if Curt got hold of her he would never be able to save her without his magic. Jareth stopped hearing the Labyrinth speaking. 'Let her go Jareth. She's not worth it. She holds none of the magic Sarah did. Sarah is the one you need.' Jareth growled.

"No. I don't want Sarah. I need Lana. Now where is she? Why cant I use my magic?" The Labyrinth sighed and spoke again. 'She is with your brother. He wont harm her. But you must save her if you are to continue ruling this land. If you fail your brother will take control and do what he pleases with the girl.' Jareth's mouth fell open in surprise. The Labyrinth whispered. 'You have thirteen hours to solve me Jareth. You must get to her before that time is up. And I cannot help you on your journey. I will do to you what I do to all who run my twisting walls and changing doors. Good luck.'
