I do not own Labyrinth.
The Goblin King had been sitting in his bed chamber for many hours, brooding. So lost in thought was he, all sense of time was gone. It was only when the fire burned down to mere embers glowing in the darkness, that he realized how late the night had become. He decided to take a walk through the castle corridors. They would be unoccupied and it would help loosen his stiff muscles.
He peered out the door, and seeing but only one goblin, asleep on the floor, he escaped the confines of the room and began to roam. Not realizing what direction he was going in, being lost in thought once more, he came to a door that had not been opened since the last time Sarah was in the Underground. Dare he open it?
As Sarah slammed into the mirror, it cracked, the sound echoing throughout the ballroom. She fell to the floor as Jake walked towards her.
"My darling Sarah, how I hate to see you like this. But you see, if I can't have my brother's kingdom, then I'll take what's closest to his heart."
Sarah squirmed. "You can't mean me Jake. He's never told me he loves me outright."
Jake knelt down next to her. "Actions speak louder than words my dear. But it's not just you I want. I want to take away Jareth's right to have a child with you. Since I am the firstborn son, then my child would have the right to the throne if it was born before Jareth's. Henceforth you would be forced to marry me, for propriety's sake. So you see? I've thought of everything."
Sarah paled and began to tremble. "You can't do that. You just can't! I won't let you!" she screamed.
"It's too late my dear. Cat's got the mouse. You're trapped. Now come here and I will make this easy for you."
Sarah stood and spat in his face. "Never will I willingly give myself to you."
"Very well."
Pushing her up against the glass, he pinned her wrists above her head. Sarah tried to pull them back down but they were stuck.
"You look ravishing in that dress, I must say. Everything exactly where it should be," he said as his eyes roamed over her body.
As he kissed her forcefully, he reached behind her neck to untie the halter straps holding the top of her dress up. The delicate lace fell around her waist, exposing her breasts to his gaze. Tears welled in Sarah's green eyes and fell down her cheeks. He roughly cupped her breasts in his hands, kneading them so hard bruises began to form. She cried out in pain as he continued the assault on her body. Suddenly, they heard a door open that wasn't there before.
Jake smiled. It was Jareth.
"Look Sarah! It's your King come to save the day! Oops, I forgot to mention that he can't see us. But we can see him. Isn't it wonderful. You should have seen the look of hope in your eyes."
Sarah called out to him anyway. "Jareth! Please help!"
Jake took the opportunity and slapped her, drawing blood from her lip.
Jareth opened the door to the ballroom, where he had once danced with Sarah. It all looked the same. He could still feel her dancing close to him, the feel of her in his arms as he sang his way into her heart. He began to sing the melody again, knowing there was not a soul there to hear it.
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.
Jake's fist landed against her right eye, blurring her vision as tears fell rapidly down her cheeks. The brightness in her green eyes was fading, with the realization that she wouldn't be saved.
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.
Sarah's heart raced as fear crept up into her mind. Her heart was breaking as she heard Jareth's beautiful love song, knowing she might never hear it again.
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down
Jake ripped the bottom of the lace dress, exposing her thigh all the way up to her hip. He gripped her leg as he began to grind himself against her. She could feel him through the thin fabric and she began to sob uncontrollably. If only Jareth could hear her cries!
"Shut up Sarah!" Jake threw her into a mirror, shattering it into a million pieces. In an instant he was upon her, shoving the dress above her hips as glass and glitter rained upon them.
Falling, falling in love.
As the world falls down.
Not realizing that in shattering the mirror, the spell on the ballroom was broken, and Jareth could now see everything even though Jake was still Aboveground and Sarah was still in her drugged sleep under the peach tree. He was allowed to see Sarah's dream in the mirrors unfold.
What he saw made his blood run cold. His brother Jarek was on top his Sarah, trying to force himself upon her. Broken glass was everywhere , Sarah was almost completely bare, her dress ripped and torn. Her face was tear stained, as she cried his name. His blood boiled. He ran from the room hoping to reach her in time.
Jareth quickly appeared by the lake, seeing Sarah laying beneath a peach tree. He ran to her side, seeing the bruises forming on her pale flesh, her lip bloodied and her eye turning black and blue. The bitten peach still lay in her outstretched hand, worms crawling from it.
The Goblin King grabbed the peach and threw it as far away from her as he could. Then without hesitation he lifted her to him and kissed her swollen lips, her red silk robe parting to reveal the beautiful body that lay hidden underneath. Jareth prayed he had gotten to her in time. That his brother had not been successful in bedding her. His eyes were drawn to her full breasts and shapely thighs, but quickly he covered her with the red silk before he saw more to appraise. Her eyelids began to flutter and a cry erupted from her that broke the Goblin King's heart.
