---Disclaimer:Don't own Labyrinth,Jareth (i wish) or sarah but I do own Jake---

Jareth was lounging in his throne, watching the many goblins running about. He was so bored with babysitting these stupid creatures but it was his responsibility to do so.

He sighed to himself, thinking of his Sarah and how much he missed her. He also wondered what she was doing right about now. But before he could conjure up a crystal, he heard someone summon him.

"Damn, I guess I'll have to look in on her later." He went into his owl form, crossing the distance between the two worlds in a heartbeat. But when he arrived at his destination, he was thouroughly confused.

"Why in the world did I end up here?"

---

Sarah's eyes started to become heavy, and she knew some of her ribs were broken. She started to lose hope when he didn't come right away. Again, her tears started their descent down her cheeks. She heard footsteps, but she thought they were just her annoying neighbors upstairs again. But the footsteps got louder as they approached her bedroom.

'Oh god, Jake came back to make sure I'm dead', she thought.

She curled up into a little ball, starting to sob because she knew she was about to die.

But the voice she heard wasn't Jakes, it was the voice of a man she thought she'd never see again.

"Sarah?," he questioned. Why had she called upon him if no child was here to wish away?

She looked up at him, a painful sadness in her eyes, like a dog that had been beaten by its owner.

"Oh God, Jareth help me! He tried to kill me and he's going to come back for me!" she pleaded. Jareth didn't understand at first, but when he flipped the light switch, he saw just why she was so scared.

Her hair was matted to her face with a mix of blood and dry tears. Both of her eyes were blackened by Jakes fist. She had a long cut along her cheek that looked as though it were caused by a knife.

He reached out and traced the outline of the cut with his fingers, a look of pure horror plastered on his face. She winced and pulled away from him.

Her arms were bruised and cut up as were her legs and stomach. Her lip was bloodied and swollen. "A few of my ribs are broken too," she whispered.

"Who did this to you Sarah?" he asked her gently but firmly. She started to cry again, trembling as she spoke. "My ex boyfriend Jake, and this isn't the first time."

"My God Sarah, why didn't you call on me the first time!"

"He said it would never happen again and that he was sorry. But I was just the fool who believed him."

"Didn't you know that I have always been here for you Sarah?" She was silent, him taking that as a no. "I will always be here for you, my love."

He wrapped his arms around her gently and lifted her realizing she was very light and frail. "I'm taking you home with me Sarah so that I may look after you and take care of you until you are well again."

She nodded mutely and cuddled into the crook of his neck, falling asleep as he took them to the Underground.
