Labyrinth RP
The Return to the Labyrinth
"You have no power over me." Even after 9 years that line was never far from the King of the Goblins thoughts. He offered Sarah her dreams on a platter and all she wanted was that brat of a half-brother, not that the child wasn't charming, Jareth had rather taken to the dark eyed boy.
Other runners had entered his labyrinth but none had captivated him like Sarah. Her defiance was somehow intoxicating, even though she obviously feared him she didn't bend her will to his and he was back to his old routine having now realised that something was missing that it had always been missing but Sarahs' thirteen hours in the labyrinth had broke the pattern of a thousand years or more.
On a whim Jareth summoned a crystal to look at the girl who he had once been infatuated with for the first time since that fateful day. The beauty that her early years had promised were realized in the 24 year old actress. She slept with her pale face against a red satin pillow the same colour as her lips, her hair a dark halo around her head and the thin covers alluding to her very alluring curves.
Jareth found himself staring at the pale figure, no longer a girl, and the sight made him long for just one more meeting with her, even if all she said to him were those awful words again. He rose from his Gothic throne and moved towards the window to take flight.
He flew straight through the open window and transformed back into his fae form moving silently to avoid waking the still sleeping Sarah. Taking a deep breath in Jareth savoured the perfume of the slumbering woman, to him it smelt like sweet spices and peaches. It effected him more than he would have cared to admit.
"To be so close to you, precious and yet still so far." He muttered under his breath.
At the sound of his voice Sarah stirred and she said one word that would haunt the Goblin King even more than the hated phrase of, "You have no power over me." and she said it so naturally, almost joyfully a smile creeping onto her face.
"Jareth?"
He recovered from the shock just in time to disappear as her eyes opened and the disappointment on her face as they met only empty air.
Sarah awoke to the sound of his voice, the voice of the Goblin King or so she thought, as always when she opened her eyes he wasn't there. She pulled herself out of bed and moved over to a darkened corner of the room to look down at the face of her son still sound asleep in his crib.
Jareth re-materialized in his throne room, a smirk playing on his lips. "So she hasn't forgotten about me." He pulled a crystal out of the air and once again saw Sarah. She had her back to him bending over something, not that he minded the view but he would rather see her face so he concentrated and the view shifted.
She was leaning over a crib, why would she be near a baby? Toby was far too old to sleep in a cot. He concentrated harder and could hear what she was saying to the child.
"And how is my little Jay today? Ready to spend the day with Mommy?" There was a fond smile playing on her lips.
Jareth could feel the rage building within him. Sarah had a son, a child that wasn't his, that was a trespass that he found unforgivable, one that Sarah would be severely punished for.
Sarah was in for a little surprise. The Goblin King started to plot a way to bring her back to the Labyrinth and make her pay for her 'betrayal'. Jareth observed little Jay through and an orb, and smirked "You and I will meet, and you will help me punish your precious mother". Sarah was clueless about Jareth's oncoming revenge but that day, she kept having a feeling of premonition.
A storm broke that night, much like the one night she had wished Toby away, and Jareth appeared in the child's room and took him. Sarah had felt the Goblin King's presence immediately and rushed into the room, just to find Jareth standing regally by Little Jay's empty crib.
"We meet again," The Goblin King announced at her arrival, "Precious!" he spat.
"Why do this Jareth?" She asked as she struggled to keep her voice from quavering
"The Child was wished away by someone and I always collect what I'm owed, even if it takes time to find the child. You have 13 hours in which to solve the Labyrinth and when you fail your son becomes mine forever."
Sarah could hear the anger in his voice. After dreaming about him all these years, he hadn't changed. He wore the same armour with the stiff leather collar just as he had all those years ago. His white blond hair still stuck out in all directions, his face was still painfully beautiful, his pants were still dangerously tight and his eyes, his mismatched eyes were still compelling.
"What no offering me my dreams this time?" she spat out sardonically, her green eyes flashed with inner fire.
"You gave yourself to someone other than me. You had a child by someone other than me. You don't deserve your dreams." He lifted one hand, a crystal appeared balanced on his fingertips.
"Wait," Sarah began, understanding dawning in her mind, "please you don't understand about Jay, he's..." But Jareth didn't wait, and before she finished, in one smooth movement he smashed the crystal onto the plush carpet of the bedroom floor; and disappeared in a cloud of glitter.
"...adopted..." she whispered, finishing her sentence. She fell on her knees and hugged herself, trying to collect her bearings and fighting the urge to cry. After a few minutes, she stood up and changed into some jeans, hiking boots and a white poet's shirt. She was going to get Little Jay back and give Jareth a piece of her mind. Sarah went towards her mirror and said "Hoggle, I need you..."
(( Anyhow! I'd prefer for this to be a Sarah/Jareth RP but you can choose to be another character if you like...PM ME if interested!))
