The song ended and we were flashed out of that perfect fantasy and back to reality. She smiled, leaving my arms to join a hypnotized Erik in watching the movie. I sighed, leaning back against the wall, watching Cherie. The movie ended and we waved goodbye to Cherie.

"Until next time my love." I sang softly, she rolled her eyes at me and smiled.

"Cherie, if you should ever need me just call." said Erik.

This annoyed me, but I did not interlude with a rude remark, this time I let it slide because I knew that if she was in need I would know before he would. I walked out of her apartment, and into my own, then noticing that I was lacking a very annoying, lovey dovey Erik. I turned and looked both ways in the hall, nothing. I opened Cherie's door to see if he was still there, and Sure enough I saw him chatting about tomorrow's Game day with her. I saw her yawn and could tell that she was very tired.

"Erik, leave the poor girl alone, she's tired and needs her rest for tomorrow." I said, he grumbled causing her to giggle as she said goodnight to us.

We walked back to our apartment and said goodnight to each other, dragging ourselves to bed. I fell down on my bed, glancing over to the clock, it read 12:00, I yawned, slowly drifting to sleep.

Cherie POV

Waving goodbye to the guys, I set my alarm for 8:00 tomorrow, I would get dress, hike, and then go to the "Game Day" Erik invited me to. I was very tired and done for the day so I ran and jumped into my now very soft bed, falling asleep shortly after.

3rd POV:
She was there again, that very place, and she knew she had to say the words. She walked around the area, looking for Jareth. She spotted him, walking slowly; she prepared to say the words. She didn't want to say them, but she had to.

"Cherie, everything I've done I have done for you and this is how you want to repay me." He paced around her, stopping occasionally to try and touch her, but she would back away every time he came close.

"You have done nothing for me, nothing,Jareth. All you did was make me play your stupid games, all those promises of my dreams and you telling me that you love me were all lies. You don't know anything about my dreams." She shouted, Jareth conjured up one of his crystals and he gracefully twirled it in the palm of his hand before showing it to Cherie.

"But I can give you your dreams," he whispered in her ear. "All you have to do is love me, and you can have anything that you want, I'll move the stars for no one but you."

Cherie grew tired of these empty promises, she knew she would just be treated like some trophy to him; it would never be real love, never.

"Through Dangers Untold and Hardships Unnumbered, I Have Fought My Way Here To The Castle Beyond The Goblin City, For My Will Is As Strong Yours And My Kingdom As Great..." she looked up, into Jareth's eyes and could see the pain of defeat in them.

"Please Cherie, I am offering you the world and more. Just fear me, love me, and do what I say and I will be your slave, just forget about the child, she isn't even your real sister."

"She may not be my sister by blood, but I still love her as one. You brought this upon yourself Jareth, you underestimated me, and we could have just ended it earlier if you would have given me my sister." she growled.

"Please, I had to teach you a lesson!" he begged.

"This is how the story has to end,Jareth. You Have No Power Over Me." nothing happened. But Cherie knew that he was suppose to be defeated, had she said the words the right way. She looked back at Jareth and saw him changing forms, now instead of him in light colors he was wearing torn black clothes, and his eyes, his eyes were a cold dark black.

"It seems to me love, that I do have power over you, much more then you do over yourself." he smirked and walked closer to her, until his face was right next to hers.

"That is how your story ends precious, mine has a different ending." she backed up, but that only caused him to come closer.

"I'm sorry love, but you have to go for me to have my happily ever after, just let me have this to remember you by."

He pulled her close and kissed her, it was kiss full of passion, sorrow, and fury, she could feel everything he felt, she didn't like it. She pushed him, but he didn't break the kiss, he would just crush her against his body. She didn't know what to do, but she knew she was running out of air. Finally, she bit his lip, causing Jareth to throw her back in fury, where she hit the stone cold floor. He walked coolly over to her, and picking her up then brought her to the ledge.

"Your fate must come to an end, and that end is here." he prepared to drop her off the ledge into nothingness.

"Your death is necessary for my story, goodbye love." he was bout to drop her, but she told him to wait. She knew she had to die and she would do it willingly, but she would say something first.

"Jareth, I loved you." she whispered, shocked by the words she had said, his dark figure turned back to lighter colors, but it was too late, he had dropped her in shock and now she was falling into the darkness. He reached down and tried to grab her but she was gone.

Cherie POV:

I woke up, shocked by the fall, and felt for the ground ,and it was here. I was so relieved that the nightmare was over with, but I couldn't help but feel a little on edge now. I couldn't believe how Jareth would have just thrown me off anytime if he was able to win. It felt a little warm in my room, so I opened the doors and walked onto my balcony. It was raining more than before, but I couldn't hear the thunder. I didn't care if I was getting wet; I just leaned against the balcony, getting soaked to the skin, until a little owl landed on my arm. It was just adorable and tiny, but it kept tapping my arm and flying toward the door. It wanted me to go inside, so I walked toward the door, but the owl stayed on the balcony.

It shivered and looked like it was soaking, so I ran back outside and picked up the owl, holding it close to my chest to keep it warm, it snuggled closer to me, probably to show its thanks. Once inside, I settled it on my bedside table and grabbed a towel to wrap it in. It sat on the little table as I got ready to go back to bed.

"Goodnight, little owl."

Jareth POV

I woke up, tears in my eyes as I tried to remember the dream. I needed to see Cherie right away so I turned into the owl and flew out the window. Seconds later I found her out on the balcony in the pouring rain, with tears flowing down her cheeks. I flew down and tapped her arm repeatedly then flew toward her door until she finally decided to go inside, but then as I shook myself to get the water off; she picked me up and held me close to her chest.

I snuggled closer, but then thought about what she would say when she found out I was the little owl. She placed me gently on her bedside table, and grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around me before saying goodnight to the little owl. After she was fully asleep, I changed back into my normal form, and sat on her bed.

She had to know that I would never let her fall, never. I touched her cheek gently, hoping not to wake her, but I just had to feel her warmth, I had to know if she was alright. Then suddenly she stood up, and turned toward me, her face was a bright red from anger.

"You were the little owl weren't you, that's why you were cuddling me like that, why did you do that, can't you just talk to me like a normal person instead of turning into an owl to distract me!" she yelled, I fell to the floor, scared of her sudden lash out of anger, but she calmed down and reached her hand out for me.

I got up and sat on her bed again. She stared into my eyes as hers got misty and asked me one question.

"Jareth, would you let me fall?" she closed her eyes and a tear began to slide down her cheek. I wiped it away with my hand; she opened her eyes and looked at me.

"I will never let you fall, never." I answered; she crawled toward me and gave me a hug as the tears came pouring out. I held her there in my arms, hoping she would stop crying and believe me.

"Cherie, please stop crying, I told you I would never let you fall, I'm sorry about the dream, I couldn't control it. If I could I would let you say the words again and I would fall like last time, I would rather lose again to you then let you fall." I whispered. She stood up and wiped the tears away.

"I'm sorry, sorry about everything, sorry about the hurt I've put you through, I'm just sorry." she whimpered, I moved her face closer to mine.

"You don't have to be sorry, without you I would be locked up in my castle, wasting the days away by pitying myself, but with you I live just by seeing your face and my heart beats just to see you smile." she smiled, crawling back to her side of the bed.
"Goodnight Jareth, See you in the morning." she whispered, yawning.
