Chapter 14

Sarah's P.O.V

Sarah leaned heavily against the door of her room, she was shaking with either fear or rage, she couldn't tell which.

"Insufferable...evil...manipulative...bastard!" she muttered pushing away from the door and began pacing the room.

She had been right when she had thought that dinner would go badly, well for her anyway, she was pretty sure dinner had gone just as planned for Jareth!

He had once again proven that he did indeed have power over her. If she tried to do anything he didn't like he would use her friends to keep her in check. He had shown her that he held all the cards now, he knew her too well, he knew that she would never allow her friends to suffer if she had it within her power to help them that was how he had gotern her here after all. He had everything to use against her but she had nothing to use against him. It made her so angry that he had been able to force her into to kissing him but she had been left with no other choice.

"I've got to get out of here." She muttered", Crossing over to windows to stare out onto the labyrinth. The sun was just beginning to set, and the whole Labyrinth was a golden brown, Lights were beginning to appear in the windows in the houses below. She stood there a while thinking over everything that had happened. It didn't seem that just that morning Jareth had taken her from her home. She still didn't fully know why she was here, was this Jareth's way of getting his revenge on her or had his last offer before she bested him been the truth? Could it be that the book was right? That the Goblin King really was in love with the girl?

Sarah shook her head, no, that simply wasn't possible, people didn't go around blackmailing the people they loved and besides he was the villain of the story, the villain never loves the Hero.

But this isn't a story, this is real life, maybe he does love you, maybe he thinks this is the only way he can have you. A small voice whispered in her mind. She mentally slapped the voice away. No, this was Jareth's way of revenge; he was like a spoiled child who couldn't handle being told no.

"You may have won this battle Jareth, but you haven't won the war." She hissed out through gritted teeth. Jareth may be holding all the cards but Sarah had an ace up her sleeve. With Alana's help, she just might be able to beat Jareth once and for all.

A light knocking on the door caused Sarah to turn. Greta poked her head round the door.

"Is yous wanting to get ready for bed lady Sarah?"

Sarah smiled down at the little Goblin.

"Might as well." Sarah said, moving away from the window. With any luck Allana might have reached the castle tomorrow. Sarah mentally added.

Jareth's P.O.V

Jareth strode through the corridors of his castle; Dinner had gone exactly as he planned, He had managed to make Sarah see that he held all the Power and that she and her friends were entirely at his mercy. He grinned it hadn't been hard to get Sarah to willing kiss him, she was very predictable.

He chuckled darkly as he entered the Throne Room. A few Goblin's were milling around and he nonchalantly kicked them from his path as he made his way to his Throne.

He sprawled lazily on his Throne, Twirling his fingers and riding crop magically appeared and he began to tap it lightly against his booted foot.

His Plan was proceeding nicely, Sarah was here in the Underground, She had agreed to his contract, she was beginning to realize just how much power over her she had given him and after tomorrow he would have gotten rid of her pesky little friends too, yes his plan was turning out just as he hoped. After her Friends had been dealt with he could move onto phase two, making Sarah fall as madly in love with him as he was with her. And if he didn't manage to do that with his charm well there were always other ways. Jareth grinned to himself, yes, no matter what this time he would have Sarah and he would make sure she would never be able to escape him. He whirled the riding crop around and it shifted into a glowing crystal. He peered down at, inside was the image of Sarah stand at her bedroom window a thoughtful expression on her face.

"I wonder what your thinking of Precious," Jareth murmured, gazing intently into the Crystal, " I do hope it's me."

He watched her for some time; the light that spilled in through the window was quickly getting darker throwing the room into shadow. He was about to end his scarring when she spoke.

"You may have won this battle Jareth, but you haven't won the war."

A smirk flicked across Jareth's face. This was his Sarah never when to just give in it was one of the many things he liked about her.

"Game on Precious, game on." He whispered, throwing the crystal high into the air where it popped with a shower of glitter.

-X-

Far from the Castle beyond the Goblin city, at the furriest reach of the Labyrinth, where the sliver fog rolled in across the treacherous bog a cloaked figure moved cautiously against the outer wall of the Labyrinth. A pale hand felt along the wall as if searching for something. The figure moved along the wall for some time until quite suddenly it stopped. It ran its hand up and down the wall, before laying its palm flat on one of the bricks and given a push. Slowly a portion of the wall slid back and the dark figure stepped forward into the Labyrinth.

Slowly the finger looked left then right. The walls shimmered with glitter and the moss blinked curiously at the new arrival. The path was littered with dead branches and leaves.

Slowly the finger brought hands to the hood that covered its head, a cascade of crimson fell as the figure lowered the hood to reveal a beautiful girl with pale skin and sky blue eyes.

Glancing at the walls she took a step closer and traced delicate fingers along the wall.

"So it's true," she muttered rubbing her glitter stained fingers, "he really does have a thing about glitter." Turning right the girl started to make her way along the path, carefully stepping over the branches.

For some time she walked along the passageway, sometimes taking the invisible opening, sometimes walking straight on.

She stopped to glance up at the foggy sky above her.

"Oh perfect." She muttered as heavy drops began to fall from the darkening sky. She brought her hood back up and began to venture further into the Labyrinth.
