Yes! So soon? You may be asking. Well, I consider 12-13 part one and two of the same scene, kind of, so here it is. Enjoy.
Sarah redressed and grabbed her things. It was after 1 am London time, she had to find a phone.
She left a note, thanking Della for her kindness, and left. Finally she found a phone with a credit card slot, and called home.
She had to make sure Toby was okay.
"Hello?" Her stepmother answered.
"Karen? Hi! It's Sarah!" She said, just a little too cheery to her own ears.
Karen sounded happy to hear her voice. "Sarah dear..how are you? Where are you? The connection is a little static-ish."
"I'm in London, writing an article. Listen..is Toby there?" She asked, still a little panicked.
"Of course, sweetie, he is right here doing his homework before dinner. Would you like to say hello?"
"Yes please." Sarah answered. There was a pause, and she heard Karen tell Toby his sister was on the phone for him from England.
"Hey Sar..you're in London? Cool!" Toby said excitedly. She relaxed a little. Toby was safe.
"Hey Tobes..yep! I am! Listen..has anything weird happened to you lately? You have been approached by any strangers or anything have you?"She asked.
"Nope, I'm fine. Oh, I won a blue ribbon at an art contest in town, isn't that cool?" Toby said, sounding a little puzzled.
"Oh Toby! That is wonderful! I want to see the ribbon and the picture too, when I come home. I heard there was a rash of kids being approached by strangers in the general area of the town there, so I wanted to check on you. I'll bring you back a souvenir okay?"
"Awesome, Sar! But everything is fine, I haven't heard about anyone being kidnapped or anything."
Sarah breathed a big sigh of relief. "Maybe it was just a stupid rumor. I had to check. I've gotta go. I love you Tobes."
"Love you too. See you soon?" She heard the hope in his voice.
"I promise I'm coming straight there from the airport when I get stateside okay, sometime very soon." She answered.
Yay! I'll make sure your room is ready okay?" Toby sounded genuinely happy.
"Okay Toby. Take care and give Dad and Mom a hug for me. Bye kiddo!"
"Bye!" Toby answered, Then she heard a click and ringtone.
She hung up the phone. Grateful, at least it didn't seem Jareth had Toby in his sights.
But now..what the hell was she going to do? She had to face him, there was no other choice.
She didn't think he would hurt her. She thought about it as she walked slowly back to the hotel where she knew he was waiting. In fact, he really did seem to care about her. But why now?
Then another thought crossed her mind. Holy crap! I slept with The Goblin King?! What did that mean?!If he was really going to do her harm wouldn't he have done it by now?
She was confused, and angry, getting angrier again. Obviously he knew who she was. Why didn't he tell her, why did he take her memories away?
I guess I just need to confront the glittery asshole once and for all. Crap.
She felt a little ball of fear growing in her gut too. Why did he pursue me? What dos he want?
He must have been pissed off. What if...what if this was some grand revenge scheme? Seduce the girl who beat him, then break her heart and ruin her life?
What if..oh god..what if he is trying to get me pregnant to replace Toby? Then steal the baby away so he can have an heir? Would he do that?!
She had a million questions, and there was only one person that could answer them. She was making her way, although reluctantly, right to his lair. She stopped and shoved the fear down.
"I have no choice. If I run, he will find me. Just get it over with now. Do what you have to do Sarah. If necessary, kick his sparkly ass all the way back to The Goblin City."
Around 3am she made it back to the hotel. Hoggleston was waiting for her in the lobby. She could see now, he was Hoggle. It was like she could see 2 people at the same time, it was very disturbing.
"Sarah! Oh thank the stars! Are you okay?" He said, breathlessly happy she was back.
She stopped in front of him. She didn't want to give herself away, so she just smiled a little.
"I'm alright, I guess. I need to face the music, so to speak. Jareth up in his room?"
"Sarah he was so worried about ya.. we all were. We tried to looks for ya, but you disappeared. We was all lookin' even him. We thought we found ya once, then ya disappeared again."
Hoggle waved his arms around, his words coming out in a rush.
Sarah nodded."I guess I need to face him." She went to get into an elevator.
"You wants me to come with ya Sarah?" Hoggle called after her.
Sarah stopped, turning back. "No I have to do it alone. That's how it's done. But if I need you, I'll call." She smiled at him again, and continued on.
Hoggle nodded and watched her get into an elevator, and the door closed. After a moment, it dawned on him the significance of her words. He took off in search of Didymus, finding him just coming in the doors after another rounding of searching. "Fox! Fox!"
"What is it Sir Hoggleston?" Didymus answered, frowning.
Hoggle grabbed him and whispered frantically. "Sarah came back! She remembers!"
The two were at a loss at what to do next, so they simply waited, not knowing what was going to happen next.
Sarah slowly walked to Jareth's door, the fear trying to take hold upon her. She was angry, and wondered what he was going to do to her. Would he let her leave? Kidnap her? Take her back to his castle and force her to be his slave?
The night guard sat calmly in his place, as if there was nothing wrong. Then again he wouldn't know, would he? That's another thing, why was Jareth her in the mortal world, pretending to be a rock star?
He saw Sarah coming. "Mr. King has been waiting for you, Miss Williams. We were all worried. Everyone has been out searching."
She sighed. "So I've been told. Well, I'm back, and I'm fine. I take it he is inside?" The man nodded, and opened the door. "Go on in."
She took another deep breath and stepped through the door.
The lights were low. It reminded her of a few nights ago, when she went into his room in London and seduced him in the shower. She really can't blame him for her actions, though she would like to. She made that choice. She saw he was sitting on the balcony, staring out at the night sky.
She stepped out onto the balcony behind him. She could see through his glamour. It really was him. After all these years. Years when she didn't even know he existed, and here he was.
"Your Majesty." She said softly."Good to see you again..Goblin King."
"I felt it. When your memory returned to you. The magic rippled through me too, and The Labyrinth. We are connected, all three of us now." He said, not turning to face her as of yet. She saw him swallow hard. "I was going to tell you tonight, Sarah. I swear I was."
He turned then. His beautiful, inhuman face meeting hers for the first time since that night, as himself.
"Just so you know, it wasn't me that took your memories. The Underground Council did that. I had no choice. I tried to stop them, but, my hands were tied. It was either that or...a far worse fate for you. I couldn't allow that."
She moved to the chair across from him and sat, looking at him. Eventually she spoke.
"I'm still angry Jareth, for this, and for..earlier. Was this whole thing just a ruse to get me into bed? And why? Why me?"
"Sarah, I did not bed that...creature. Please know, I could not do that. Not after being with you. I hold no attraction to her. Or anyone else, anymore. It's just..I don't think it would even be possible. She drugged me with an underground herb, stripping me of my consciousness and apparently my clothing. She wanted to keep us apart for her own purposes. For that she will be punished, believe me. She is one of my kind you know. Banished here many years ago."
"What are you going to do?" Sarah blurted out.
"Sarah she betrayed a king, in concert with others, she made a move on my crown. There is only one punishment." He gave her a knowing look, hoping he didn't have to say it.
"So..you are going to kill her. Seems a bit harsh. Even if...I don't even know what happened to me..do you?" She had to ask why she acted the way she did. Her anger was understandable, but she was horrified that she had attacked another person.
"Yes. We are...bonded. Mated. By the laws of my people. You took my blood, and I yours."
He reached and took her hands. She thought for a second to pull way, but for some reason she could not.
"Sarah..you are not fully human anymore. I did not plan for that to happen yet. But you...once you marked me, took my blood, I had to finish it. You would have died within days."
She gasped and stood, jerking her hands away and going to the mark on her neck. "Is that what this means?!"
Jareth stood too, taking her shoulders. "Sarah you are a changeling. Changelings cannot fully control their power. Our mate bond coupled with your anger caused you to instinctually attack Lady Roxanna."
Sarah went inside and poured herself a drink. She wasn't happy drinking so much tonight, but on this night she needed it.
"I don't know how to handle this. What do I call you? " She turned looking at him.
"Jareth, of course. Just Jareth. Please." He answered. looking at her with such longing her heart ached.
"What's going to happen to me? Why did you do this? Is this why you wanted me to do this story? What the HELL do you want from me?!"
"Sarah..love please.." Jareth started.
"No! Don't call me that! No love, no precious, no beloved!" Sarah's voice was rising with her anger.
"You could have told me! Before I had sex with you! Before I let you..before I..this isn't about Toby is it? I called him, to make sure he was there, but I swear Jareth, if you mean to take my brother I swear I will fight you with every breath in my body!"
Jareth's voice rose too, to make sure she would hear him over herself. "No Sarah! It isn't about the boy! It was NEVER about the boy! Toby is safe, you won him back! I swear on my own life, he is safe! Please listen to me! Damn it woman!"
He grabbed her and yanked her to him, face to face, his eyes looking in to hers. He saw and felt her anger, her fear, her pain. He could hardly bear it. She started to struggle to get away but he held her fast.
"Sarah you must calm yourself. I implore you. I need to listen to me. please!" He demanded.
Sarah saw the look in his eyes and stilled. "Are you going to kill me? Because if you are, just do it. Or are you going to lock me in an oubliette? Or force me to be your slave? Force your babies upon me to replace Toby? I would rather you just end it, if that's the case."
Jareth eyes widened, it was his turn to be shocked. Is that what she thought? Really?
"Of course not, woman. I am a King. I don't need to force anyone to my bed. Are you mad? Kill you? What would make you think that I would do you harm?" Jareth asked in wonderment at the thought.
She laughed sarcastically, pulling away and going to sit in chair. "You did before. remember? The cleaners, the drugged peach? Sending your army after me?"
"The cleaners would have stopped before they did you harm, they were magically unable to touch a hair on your head. I wanted to scare you not kill you. The peach was enchanted, and you saw how wonderfully inept those goblins were. If I wanted my army to kill you, I would have send my real army. If *I* wanted to kill you, I could have snapped your neck before you ever entered the bloody maze. You were human trespassing in my world, albeit for a purpose of the world's making. It would not have been a crime for me to do so, in any case. The only humans safe from such crimes there are those that have been formally given permission to be there, and the wished away children. Not that I agree with those laws, or have killed a human by my hands for such reasons, but it *is* the truth. My station is unique in that I have regular contact with humanity, and I am rather fond of humans, for the most part."
He paused, letting her soak all this information in. "You were never in any real danger. The game is meant to confuse you, scare you, keep you from winning, not kill you." He explained, leaning against the wall and put one hand on his hip. The other produced one of those crystals he was so found of, and he absently twirled it as he spoke.
Sarah watched him. Now there is The Goblin King. The snarky being who drove her crazy on her journey.
Sarah barked out another laugh. "Then what the fuck is this about? What was THAT about? Why did you even come to me back then? If it wasn't about Toby, what was it about?"
Jareth stopped spinning the crystal and waved a hand, making it disappear. "It was always about you, Sarah. I saw you in the park by your home several times. playacting. I do not know how you came by the book, but something tells me a certain aggravating maze had something to do with that...regardless, you fascinated me. Your complete belief in that story, in my world, drew me to you like a moth to a flame. When you wished, I had no choice. I go where the Labyrinth tells me I need to go. You wished, it sent me to you."
Suddenly he was in front of her, kneeling. He took her hands again. "Sarah, for whatever reason, The Labyrinth found you, and it wanted me to find you too..because...we are fated, you and I. You were too young then. I had to let you go. I would have sought you out when you were older..in a less deceptive way, if I had been given a choice." He looked down and stared at her hands, waiting for her to speak.
"Then what happened?" Sarah asked him. "Why didn't you? Even if..even if you would have come to me the next day..it would have been okay. I mean..I have to be honest Jareth. Once everything settled in my mind. I knew you were right. You did what I wanted. If you would have come, I wouldn't have gone with you, but, maybe we could haven been friends first..you know? Until I grew up. Then after a few days..whatever happened happened and I forgot everything. Why?"
Jareth turned from her and looked back out onto the city.
"Sarah, even the underground has laws, and you defied every one of them, and I did too, to protect you."
"Laws? What laws?" You need to tell me what is going on Jareth." Sarah implored. She stood up and approached him.
"When a human enters the underground, which is rare. There are only three acceptable outcomes. They stay, they leave with their memories removed, or they are...they are eliminated." He said. He turned and met her eyes again.
"Sarah, it was either your memories or you. You must understand, no one had every beaten The Labyrinth before..well no human. It just isn't done. Humans don't have the mental capacity to perceive it really. Most any other that has ever made the wish and had been answered, never got beyond the outer walls. They couldn't even see openings beyond that. They would run and run and collapse exhausted, until either their time was up or they gave up. A few might stumble into a opening and wander around the stone walls for a bit helpless to get out. But you..you were different, an immortal mind in the body of a human girl. So clever, so wise."
He touched her face as he talked, and she was hypnotized by the softness in his eyes.
"You made me so angry, you frustrated me to no end...and yet..if you would have reached out to me in any way, I would have fallen at your feet..my little Sarah. My Champion."
Sarah breathed in. She was so tempted to kiss him then, but couldn't bring herself to do it.
She backed away from his hand, which fell to his side.
He took a deep breath at her rejection, and continued on.
"They called me in. Word had gotten out. A human beat the game, and got away, going aboveground with memories in tact. They ordered me to have you killed, I refused. The put me on trial, they convicted me, they punished me. So I am here. Ordered to find you using mundane ways, and with 10 years to do it. Either you are to come back with me, or none of us can go home, and they will attempt to strip me of my immortality. Oh..and did I mention, they also took your memories to make it harder?"
Jareth laughed, but not with any joy. "Now I find out, thanks to The Lady Roxanna, the head of the council has been plotting against me. He wants my kingdom. He thinks he can control The Labyrinth, he thinks he can handle the power. He is a fool."
"If I go...can I come back?" Sarah asked.
"You would agree?" Jareth was genuinely shocked. "Of course Sarah! You can come and go as The Goblin Queen. It would be a requirement of the station. I would take you back and forth until you learn."
Sarah had an idea. "Let's go. Now."
"Sarah..I'm not sure if..."Jareth stared at her.
"Do it, Jareth." She demanded. "You owe me."
He nodded, and stepped to her. He took her hands. They were limp in his grip but she did not pull away.
"Sarah..are you sure?" He looked into her eyes. He saw the determination there.
"Yes! Damn it!" She said.
He closed his eyes, feeling for the veil that separated the worlds. He pushed it, and..it opened.
He pulled them through, and they appeared in his castle.
Sarah opened her eyes and looked around. There were goblins, dwarves, various other creatures and a one man of Jareth's kind staring at them, shocked in their sudden appearance.
"Your Majesty!" the man exclaimed.
He fell to one knee. "Thank the Gods!"
Elsewhere in the Labyrinth, Hoggle, Didymus, and Ludo appeared near the inner gates to the city. Looking at themselves and each other in surprise.
"We're homes!" Hoggle said. They started hugging and dancing with joy.
Back in the castle, Jareth went to pull Sarah into his arms. "Oh Sarah..You have no idea.."
She backed away from him, pushing his arms away. "Now..take me home." She demanded abruptly.
"What? You think I would just fall into you arms Jareth? I did this for them..not you. This was the easiest way to get you the hell away from me. You are back in your precious kingdom, and they..my friends..are safe. Take..me...home!"
Weyliss watched from the side, mouth gaping open.
"Sarah..please, you don't know what you are saying. You are angry I know but.." Jareth began.
"I know EXACTLY what I'm saying, Jareth! Now, what the fuck do I have to do, to go home?!"
She was yelling now, frantic.
Just then Hoggle, Didymus and Ludo rushed in. "Sarah..yer Majesty!' Hoggle said as he came towards them.
Sarah turned to the three, and smiled half heartedly. "Glad you to see you made it. But I'm leaving."
Jareth's heart was sinking. "Please don't do this Sarah, stay."
She turned back. "Jareth, I mean it. I will make your life a living hell if you do not return me to where we came from."
She grabbed his hands. "I want to go back..now!"
Something happened. She felt herself begin to tingle, and the floor fell out from under her. Suddenly it bounced back and she hit the floor hard. When she opened her eyes, she was laying on the carpet of the hotel room.
She looked over, Jareth was getting up a few feet away.
"How did you do that?" He said as he rose to face her.
"I have no idea. I just know I'm leaving. Tonight. I need to figure all of this out, Jareth. I have a life, a family. You lied to me, fooled me. Tried to manipulate me. I don't blame you for...well, I initiated the sex part. So I can't let you take all the blame for that. Now you can go home..whatever you want. Go back and forth, keep playing rock star, I don't fucking care. But I can't be here with you. Not now, maybe not ever. I don't know."
She picked up her bag and went into the bedroom they had been sharing, grabbed her suitcase and made her way to the adjoining bedroom, closing and locking the door. She knew he could come in if he wanted, but she hoped she would take the hint that she did not want him to.
She called the airport, finally finding a flight to New York. It cost her plenty for a ticket at such short notice, but she didn't care at this point. Unfortunately it didn't leave until 9:45 am, so she was stuck in that room for a few hours. There was no way she could sleep, so she sat there, staring blankly at a wall, as tears ran down her face. Every so often a sob would escape.
Jareth sat on the floor of the bathroom, outside her door. He heard her sobs, and every one stabbed him through the heart.
After while, he knocked. "Sarah? I want you to know..I do love you. I have since back all those years ago. I think the moment I fell, was when you said my Labyrinth was a "piece of cake." He smiled at the memory. "In that moment I knew. I think that is why I was so angry. Because you made me love you without even trying. I now see I should have done things differently. I..." He swallowed hard. This was something he had never done. Asking for this. He never apologized. Yet he kept finding himself apologizing to her. "I am sorry. I hope you can grant me your forgiveness someday."
A couple of minutes later, the door opened. He got up, and entered.
She stood there, alone, sad. Looking at him with those huge green eyes glistening with tears both shed and unshed.
Suddenly she pulled him to her and kissed him. She did it with all the anger, pain, and passion that was pent up inside of her.
He pulled away. "Sarah I.."
"Shut up Jareth." She said, and pulled his mouth back to hers.
She backed them to the bed, and fell, taking him with her. She tugged at his clothes, and he at hers, buttons, zippers, clasps, all unfastened or ripped apart in their haste.
Finally they were grabbing naked flesh and rubbing, caressing, kneading.
Jareth found her nipples with his hands and mouth, licking and sucking. Sarah moaned and held on as he tasted her.
Sarah felt down his stomach until she reached her goal, She took his semi erect cock in her hand and moved it up and down, making him rock hard, and leaking fluid onto her fingers.
He suckled and laved her skin on her neck, then upward until he found her mouth again. Their tongues dancing and rolling against each other.
His fingers sought and found her nether lips, rubbing her clit with his thumb and sliding 3 fingers inside her, feeling how wet she was. Moving them in and out, making her come apart under him.
She groaned and panted as she climaxed. Oh God..she thought..what the hell am I doing? I'm not just screwing Jareth King anymore. I'm letting The Goblin King have his way with me! Am I crazy?
No, her conscious said. You are in love with him, and you know no one can make you feel this way but him.
Shut up stupid, trying to enjoy this for what it is, she told herself. Thankfully the voice went away.
She turned under him, and he was biting the back of her neck. She shoved her backside against him. "Fuck me..now." She hissed out.
He grinned against her neck. Backing up, he cupped her, then finding her entrance with his shaft, he shoved himself deep inside her.
He grasped her hips and pumped hard. Her channel like liquid fire around him. He bent over her and nibbled at her neck and shoulders as he moaned her name into her skin.
Sarah hung onto the headboard as Jareth pounded into her. God..it felt incredible. She cursed herself for wanting him, and him for being this good. For filling her so completely.
"Oh God.. oh.. fuck..Jareth..."
He grabbed her hair and pulled her up against him, his mouth at her ear.
"My sweet little Sarah likes it hard and fast..doesn't she?" He whispered.
He found her earlobe and sucked on it.
He moved his hand under her, taking her clit between his fingertips. Rubbing and pinching as he slammed into her from behind.
He was close..she was squeezing him, milking him.
Sarah hit her peak, her body shuddering and clamping onto his. He licked the mark on her neck and it was like electricity shot through her body, making her tremble and tingle with heat. She grabbed his arm that was supporting her and held on as she rode out her orgasm.
Jareth spilled himself deep inside filling her to overflowing. He grabbed her hips and grunted and moaned as the feeling overtook him.
Sarah fell onto the bed, worn out. Jareth collapsed on top of her, equally exhausted. The emotions, the anger, then pain, everything..finally it was all out. They were unbound and free. Everything in the open.
"Sarah..." He finally said, through his heavy breathing.
"Jareth..please. Just..don't. Just hold me."
He did as she asked, keeping her back firmly against him. He buried his face into her hair. Breathing her in. She smelled of magic, sex and peaches. He adored that she preferred peach scented soap and shampoo.
After a while, they dozed off, unable to move from their exertions. He rolled away a little in his sleep. Waking her up.
She moved slowly back from him, and got up from the rather rumpled bed.
Looking at him, naked, gorgeous, more tears silently slipped down her cheeks.
Outside dawn was breaking. She took a quick shower and dressed, hoping he would not wake.
Mercifully he did not. She did not want a heavy goodbye scene.
She gathered her things and moved them to the living room area, and wrote a note.
Jareth,
I'm sorry, I can't stay. I need to go home. I need to figure stuff out in my head. I am still angry, and hurting, and so confused. You need to go home too, I know. I do love you, but I don't know what that means for me. What is it to love The Goblin King? I guess I need to be able to answer that question before I can make any decisions. Please tell my friends I love them, and remember them with nothing but fondness. I swear to you, I will not reveal your secrets.
The article is done, and I will still submit it, but no one will know your true identity. That much I can vow to you. Just please, let me be for now. I know if I need you, All I have to do is wish for you. I know this mark on my neck means you can find me if necessary.
Love,
Sarah
PS- I know you didn't sleep with Roxy, or whatever her name is. Just thought you should know.
Sarah called for a cab, and left. She was mildly surprised as she went through security before she boarded her flight that no one had came after her. Part of her wished she would turn and he would be there, begging her to stay. The other part was grateful.
Quickly enough she made it to the plane and found her seat. After it took off and leveled out, she opened her bag and took out the ring her mother had given her. She placed it on her finger, and an overwhelming sadness came over her.
She turned to the window and cried as the clouds went by. She watched unseeing, thinking of him.
