"You Have No Power Over Me"

With those word he had had no choice but to send the girl home with the child. 'No power over you my dear Sarah? We shall see whom has power over whom' he smirked as he walked into the castle library.

He was determined to get the girl back. He had just lost the only one to ever solve the Labyrinth and he knew that she belonged with him and he wanted answers now.

Scanning the shelves he found the tome that he was seeking. He grabbed it and brought it to the desk. He flipped through it till he found the passage he was looking for. The Prophesy of the Labyrinth Queen. He read it and reread it over and over again. Trying to understand why she hadn't stayed like she was supposed to and then it hit him. The last line of the Prophesy stated that she would return after several years to claim the prize that she had won. He smiled and closed the book. Yes, she would be his. The Prophesy had been partially fulfilled and Jareth fully intended to claim his bride.


She sat putting away all her childhood mementos and all her reminders of her time in the Labyrinth however, she couldn't bring herself to put the statue of him away. Try as she might she just couldn't do it. So here she sat finally alone after the party that had ensued earlier and just sat looking at it wondering if things would have turned out differently had she taken the crystal at their final confrontation. She had wanted to accept his offer there at the end she truly did but worry for her brother and thoughts of what her parents would say kept her from doing so. There had been a brief moment when she was searching for that last line that she almost asked him to take her in Toby's place. And it was at this thought that she asked herself 'What would I be doing now had I accepted the offer?'

However, what if's and what might have been's never get you anywhere and so as she sat there staring at her reflection in the mirror she remembered words he had said to her during her time there.

-Just as I can be so cruel-

"Sarah, he must really hate you right now after all he told you he could be cruel, but he also said that I could be just as cruel" she told herself

-Your eyes can be so cruel-

"Then again, he also said that he believed in me" she continued only now seeing the words as they were meant to be heard. He had never lied to her once.

-Oh I do believe in you. Yes I do-

Then another thought came to mind, had he meant the words to the song that he had sung to her in the ballroom? Because if he had.... She stopped to remember the beautiful words the that haunting melody

-There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes
A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thill is gone wasn't to much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down

Falling, Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're moving the path between the stars
I'll lay my love
Beneath the stars.......

By the time the song ended in her mind she had tears falling heedlessly down her face. It was then that she realized that despite her age, she loved him. And she now knew that those words had been sung directly to her and she knew that he loved her in return. She sat there cursing herself for being such a fool especially after she remembered the look that had crossed his face when she had pulled out of his arms in the ballroom and then shattered the dream crystal. She also knew that he did indeed have power over her for he ruled her heart and always would.

Then right before she fell asleep she whispered "Jareth, You do have power over me," she did not see the Barn owl that sat perched right outside her window though when she recanted her last words to her king.

He did though and almost crowd in triumph. Within the owls body Jareth grinned. 'So she finally sees does she? Still grinning he magically gained entrance to her room needing to look at the woman who held his heart.

"Sarah, my love. One day you will return to me. This I promise you and you will do so willingly, but I need you to know that what I asked of you still remains true. For I do love you I only wish that you will one day see it." Even though he knew he would get into so much trouble for it, he climbed up into her bed and pulled the sleeping girl into his arms and there he slept.
