A/N I own nothing from the source material, songs, or oc's from MyraValhallah's story. Just doing this for fun.

Chapter 13

Jareth sees her standing confused in the middle of the garden from his window. In an instant he has poofed down in a shower of glitter and a puff of smoke. She looks lost and terribly confused. Sarah keeps staring at her hands and surroundings as though she had no idea what they were. With confusion evident she looks at him with those large watery green eyes.

"I don't know where I am."

Jareth knew something was wrong when she didn't try to hit him or start yelling about how it was totally uncalled for; him kissing her...blah blah blah. Her being confused was not on his agenda.

"Who are you?"

Her not recognizing him. Now that spells trouble.

"With a capital T." Rose had just finished her tirade on the Doctor. How dare he spend his time singing away, no, partying, when he didn't know what kind of danger could have been out there. Sarah was under his protection and while nothing happened something could have. But, no, he wouldn't have been there because he would have been too busy playing. It was just like that murderous space ship and the Madame de Pompadour. He was still so...he wasn't different. That was the problem with his human counterpart. She showed him what it was to be a man of peace once more but just after, the TARDIS coral had matured and he obviously hadn't, because he left her. The Doctor had said his Meta-crisis was just like him but that was a lie. The Doctor wouldn't have run off the first chance he got. Then again maybe he would. She had told him about all of that and then told him that he was in big...

"Doo-doo." The goblin was searching everywhere for the lost little bunny. Christine knelt and ran her hand along the cotton tail's back before lifting it up and handing it to the visibly relieved Scratge. Erik had stopped and put up his hand.

"What is it dear?" Christine stepped closer.

"Something is wrong...we have to go back to the castle. We will leave for home once I have figured out the source of the disturbance."

In a swirl of magic that still got her to catch her breath after nearly a century with him they were gone.

Sarah was lain on a small couch in the library when Erik and Christine arrived soon after the Doctor and Rose ran in on the heels of three goblins carrying various bowls of bones and rags and wilted greenery only to be told to go and fetch something else. The king was keeping them busy which meant that he needed to use his magic on something other than getting them out of his way.

"She can not remember anything about this place and she does not know me." Jareth runs his hand along the length of her body slowly about three inches above her. A soft glow starts and immediately diffuses.

The Doctor whips out his sonic and Rose rolls her eyes. What can't that thing analyze?

"Wood." Christine had spoken and when Rose looked over she just shook her head as if she didn't know where it came from either.

Something was off in the Labyrinth and none of them knew what it could be. Sarah hadn't had her mind tampered with by anything alien which meant it had to be magic based but neither the Goblin nor the Fae knew what it was. The magic was ancient. Far older than even Erik who predated everyone by about two millennia. Something horribly wrong was happening and they would have to wait till Sarah woke up to figure out what had happened in that garden.

A/N I won't be updating for at least one week after this because I have a family vacation and there is a strict no devices rule. It might extend beyond a week but I will be updating at least by the 16th my time.
