Chapter 33

Jareth roared in anger as the spy reported his latest news.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ARE NOT THERE?”

The spy recoiled from the angry king and gulped.

“They, they are gone sire. The castle lay in ruins. Scavengers have picked the flesh that remained from the servants who did not escape and there is nothing left.”

“Calm down now Jareth. There is probably a perfect explanation of this. I am sure she is fine.”

Jareth looked in disbelief at his sister and her surrounders. They seemed calm and collected. Nothing even seemed to be bothering them. They seemed relaxed as anyone could possibly be. Did they not hear what the scout just said? The castle was GONE. People were dead and now, his lover was missing, yet again. He flashed a face at the group and turned to the spy again.

“I do not understand what you people are trying to say. I can not take this anymore ”

Jareth stormed from the room and turned in the direction of the Esher room.

Crystal looked at Findore, who looked at Zach, who looked at Toby, who looked at Siress, who looked to the spy, who looked back to Crystal, and all they busted out in laughter.

“He is such a stuck up asshole sometimes.” Crystal held her sides as she laughed.

The spy stopped laughing and cocked his head to the side. All watched him as the elfin man walked to the window, then turned and smiled.

“Some one approaches in the distance. I sense four.”

“Four??” Siress got up and scanned the land.

“Are there four?” Zach asked.
“Yeah, there are four.” Siress nodded to the scout.

“Why would there be four?” Findore asked becoming alarmed.

“I see a woman, a young man, and I do not know where the other life forms are emitting from.” The spy looked hard out the window.

“Well, the woman has to be Sarah.” Crystal said. “But, who are the other three?”

The spy shook his head and looked puzzled. “I have no idea, but I can check.”

The group watched him leave in a hurry and they all looked at each other. Toby spoke first and broke the silence.

“You don’t think that one could be...”

“Don’t be stupid. She lost it, we all saw it.” Findore said harshly.

“Right, stupid of me to even think that.” Toby nodded.

“No one say a word about it when she gets here. The poor girl has been through enough, and gods only knows how she is handling it.” Siress said. “Women Aboveground sometimes even get depression from having kids.”

“Really?” Findore asked in amazement. “Why?”

“Because women up there make stupid decisions and don’t use preventative measures. They get pregnant and then have to suffer through it. Then if they don’t want it, they treat it badly and it lives a horrible life.” Crystal interjected.

“If they get pregnant and don’t want it, why don’t they just kill it?” Zach asked.

“Because, a lot of people think that it’s wrong and should not be done.” Toby answered.

“Well, that’s stupid. If it is going to live a horrible life and no one wants it, then it should just be stopped before it even starts.” Findore said matter of factly.

“If things were only that easy.” Siress smiled.

“Maybe someone should go tell Jareth she is coming.” Zach said.

Crystal shook her head. “He needs some alone time right now. Let him wallow in his pity. It will be good for him.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jareth entered the fucked up room and walked down a flight of stairs. He smiled as his feet made a sound the echoed and bounced along the walls. Many people’s feet had touched the stone in this room. Many, many girls had been taken in this room too.

He smiled as he ducked under an arch way. He felt the smooth stone and grinned as he saw a lovely blonde pressed against it. Her face was contorted with pleasure, and her chest rose and fell in swoops of intakes and outbursts. She was fun, oh yes she was. He coyly touched the stone walls with his finger tips. They had seen his worst days, and his better ones. Of if these walls could talk, they would never keep quiet. Some dark things happened here, dark and sinister. But, as in all cases, along with the sinister, came the phenomenal.

Some boys had even made the mistake of saying those few fatal words that wished their family members away. Younger boys had never been like the girls he had. The boys were fun, none the less, but they did not bring the same excitement to his game. They always played rougher, which was not necessarily a bad thing, but they got cockier by the minute. And, they did not fight the same as the girls did when they were captured. Though a few came close once in a while, there was never a good enough boy for him.

But, now was not the time to be thinking about all the little girls and boys he shattered in his life. He sighed in frustration as he kicked a pebble out of his way. Sarah was gone from the castle, and no one was left alive. Something happened and no one saw it go down? Some powerful magic had to have been used. Powerful magic was few and far between these days and those who had it were not on Jareth’s good list.

He paced back and forth trying to figure out who could have made such a thing happen. Jareth had many an enemy. He was the first to admit that. People wither liked the fae king or didn’t. There was no in between. Too many people had it out for him and he could only begin to imagine what they would do if they got a hold of Sarah.

The damn dwarves would easily hurt her. Take her deep below the surface and make her their toy. Chain her to their long tracks and make her bleed. The vamps would gladly take her and make her a creature of the night. Stupid blood sucking pricks*. They always had a thing for Jareth because fae blood was the best blood. God only knew what the dragons would do to her. If they were anything like his brother, which they were, then he had every reason to be worried. Not to mention the fireys and the bog monsters.

Jareth shook his head and tried to calm his nerves. Deep, unsteady breaths fell from his lips as he panned through the halls of the familiar room. He turned left and right, walked right side up and up side down. Faster and faster, until be was almost running. He screamed, the passion of love and being hurt bouncing off the walls. His chest rose and fell as he the sweat dripped off of him. He looked old and worn, tired and used. She was missing. A major part of his life that had almost escaped him was missing and it hurt. It hurt worse than death itself.

He leaned against a wall, tired from all the aggravation of the past days and tired of existing without a true purpose. Then, he did something he never did. Tears began to fall. Sobs induced and echoed off the walls.

The high and mighty king had broken down.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sarah was tired of walking. Being pregnant and walking did not mix, especially when she had to go pee every hour it seemed. The box behind her, with a very ugly looking Micheal, was trailing behind her in her wake. Beside her was her little adopted Nerk. And inside, squirming like it’s life depended on it, was the hopes and dreams of a king.

They had been walking for what had seemed like forever. She was so happy when the forest that was burnt down ended. She was happy too see a change of scenery. She nodded in thanks when Nerk handed her a flask with water in it. Stretching out in front of them now was a desolate wasteland. It seemed to go on forever in all directions. She tramped on though, trudging the miles, through the day and night.

Camping out at night was an experience. She lay by the fire watching Nerk sleep, his eyes moving in his head while he did. She wondered what type of life he had lead with Micheal, why he had even become in allegiance with him.

“My mom gave me to him. She wanted me to live. I was worth something, after all, because I could shape shift.”

Sarah nodded and cursed Micheal in her mind. Using people was all he did all his life.

She smiled a little as the walls outside the Labyrinth became visible in the distance. Memories flooded over her from the past. From when she first came to this land, this wonder filled Underground, to the mere nights before where she waited patiently for her time to strike. Her thoughts fell on Jareth as they reached the outer wall. The baby inside her stirred as she thought about him and Nerk smiled at her knowingly. The Labyrinth shifted and obeyed an unspoken command. It opened a pathway that lead straight to home.

Sarah rubbed her stomach as the castle came into view. Soon, they would be home and all of this would be resolved. Soon, she would be in her lover’s arms and maybe she would even get laid tonight. She was so horny. She didn’t know why either. She thought, that being pregnant, that she would be to tired or not in the mood. But, damn, every time she though about Jareth, her insides instantly lit themselves.

“Mother,” Nerk chimed up and broke her thoughts, “someone is approaching.”

Sarah looked up and saw someone in the distance. She looked closer and halted.

*A spy.*

“Nerk, I want you to change, into your cat form. On top of the box, go.”

Sarah watched as Nerk did what she said, and smiled a little when he jumped to the top of the box. She wanted him to change because if this spy was one that they were going to fight, then maybe she would have an advantage at hiding him now. Even though she was sure that the spy may already know that there were three of them, she wasn’t sure how good of one he was. She smiled and straightened her bloody wedding dress as he approached.

“Greetings, m’lady.” The spy bowed low and smiled.

“Hello. Nerk, you may come forth.”

Nerk jumped down and changed. The spy’s eyes grew in size as he recognized the boy. He drew his bow and aimed at the boy who had caused the ruckus at the wedding.

“Put your weapon down, he is mine to command.”

The spy did as he was told, but his eyes never left the young one.

“You m’lady have caused me quite the issues lately. His majesty was not very happy with me when he found out you were gone. What happened?”

Sarah smiled at the thought of Jareth yelling at the spy and shivered a little.

“Are you ok mother?” Nerk asked.

The spy looked questionably at the young man and then to Sarah.

“I know, Jareth will not like it. But, he will have to live with it.”

The spy smiled and nodded. “Your quite the little woman, m’lady.” He blushed a little as she smiled.

“Thank you. Now, I am in need of some assistance. I can not transport us all with my magic. I think I should like a carriage.”

Magically, one appeared.

Sarah smiled as she got into the buggy and the box followed in the wake.

“I will never get used to having magic.”

Nerk smiled and nodded.

“You have always had it, according to his majesty. He always speaks so fondly of you.”

Sarah looked at the spy and smiled.

“I don’t believe I caught your name.”

The spy blushed and nodded.

“I didn’t give it. Most people don’t ever get to know it. It wouldn’t be good for someone to know my name. I wouldn’t be a good spy then.”

Sarah nodded in agreement.
“A man of mystery. I like it.”

The spy again blushed.

“Besides, no offense m’lady, but I do not like giving girls my name.”

“Oh no? Not a lover?”

“Not of women,” the spy smiled and blushed deeper, “though you are very beautiful, even when bearing a child, I just do not like women.”

Sarah laughed a solid laugh, something she had not done in a while. She giggled a little after than and then burst out in another fit of giggles.

“I mean no offense,” Sarah regained her composure as they pulled into the gates of the city, “I was just thinking that I know someone who would rather like you.”

“Oh really?”

Sarah smiled. “He says he likes girls, but I think he likes boys more.”

Nerk jumped out of the buggy and helped Sarah out.

“Who are you talking about?” Nerk asked.

“Oh a certain doctor I know.” Sarah smiled.

“You mean the very cute fae from the Aboveground?” The spy asked a little to quickly.

Sarah smiled and laughed again. “Maybe we should introduce you two?”

The spy blushed yet again as they all climbed the steps together. He said nothing as the box followed its master dutifully. He opened the door for them and bowed a little as she walked past.

“Oh it is nice to be home!” Sarah said as she let a breath go.

Nerk looked around uncertainly. “I am afraid mother.”

Sarah turned to the young man. She smiled warmly and took him into her arms. She hugged him tightly and kissed his head.

“You have nothing to worry about. They will treat you fine.”

The patter of feet reached her ears and she turned away from him just in time to see the clan break into the landing. The smiles on their faces quivered as they looked from Sarah, to Nerk, to Micheal in his box, and back to Sarah.

“Sis, your... oh my god.”

“Your pregnant!” Findore flung herself at her and began to cry as she sobbed about everything in one breath.

“What is going on?” Crystal asked, looking from the three travelers to the spy and back at everyone.

Zach stepped towards Nerk and growled.

“Don’t even start on him Zach. He is mine.” Siress proclaimed.

“No one will touch him.” Sarah said breaking Findore off of her. “He is here with me. He is mine, my son.” Sarah smiled at him and returned it warmly. She walked to him and hugged him, so everyone could see that she wasn’t lying.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Zach said, his mouth agape in horror.

“If Sarah says he is ok, then he is a bother of mine any day.” Toby walked forward and hugged him.

“I don’t understand Sarah, how did this come to be?” Siress said looking at Micheal in the box.

“Well, after you guys left me, I had to take things into my own hands. I was tired of his games and I was tired of everything all together. I let him have his way with me, he couldn’t resist the urge to tear me down, so I let him. He made me bleed every night. Made me suffer more than I could have ever imagined.” She paused and a sadistic smile spread across her lips. “Little did he know that not only was I enjoying it, but he was sealing his fate as well.”

“Your blood.” Siress said. “Your still pregnant and your blood was over flowing with iron. He killed himself, the stupid lunatic.”

“He couldn’t resist the possibility of getting something his brother valued so greatly. And, like the rest of you, he had no idea the baby was still alive.”

“How in the world did you manage that?” Findore asked rubbing her tummy.

“I hid it. In a crystal, and”
“Your necklace.” Zach said before she could finish.

Sarah smiled and nodded. “I knew what was going to happen. I couldn’t sit back and let him ruin my life. Nor was I going to let the one who helped him get away either.” She turned and looked at Nerk, who was sitting by the box. “He is mine to keep, to raise.”

“Jareth is going to have a hay day when he finds out.” Siress smiled at her.

“Let him try and say something.” She smiled as they all laughed together again. “Speaking of him, where is Jareth?”

All of them looked at each other. They all smiled a little and avoided Sarah’s eyes.

“Well, someone tell me.”

“He is sulking, to put it nicely.” Toby smiled and tried not to laugh.

Sarah looked at him in confusion. “I don’t follow... OH!” She giggled a little with the rest of them. “Now, now. Crying is not a weakness.”

“Oh but seeing him break down like that was priceless. Or hearing him more like it.” Zach said.

“I better go talk to him. Nerk, you let the others know about the box. I need to go attend to some other matters.”

Sarah stalked off towards the Esher room. Nerk watched her go and smiled at the on looking people.

“First off, let me apologize.”

“No need.” Siress stopped him.

Nerk nodded and noted the box.

“She created it out of the one thing he can’t stand. Love.” He smiled a little as Micheal’s body racked with another fit of coughs. “You guys missed the break down. He looks really shitty now. He was all high and mighty one minute and then he suddenly was hit by a brick wall. She laid it on him good. The blood in his body is slowly rusting. Very slowly. His body is basically going to shut down on him and there is nothing he can do about it.” He paused a moment as Micheal opened his eyes, grunted, coughing blood that spattered all over the box.

“Nasty.” Findore said hiding her face in Zach’s shoulder.

“He is very putrid. This,” he said pulling out a vile from his pocket, “is a serum. It reverses the effects just slightly.”

“Why would she create a serum?” Toby asked.

“Because, your sister values life. She wants to make him pay for his actions. Over and over again.” Crystal said smiling a little. “She’s quite the little sadistic wench, huh Micheal?”

“She made it to make sure, like Crystal said, that he learns his lesson. She is never going to take him out of the box. Only her hands can penetrate it and only she can move it. He will die in there and she will make it all for us to see.”

“I knew I loved her for a reason.” Siress laughed along with the others.

“Come Nerk, I am sure you are hungry from your journey.” Findore called as she began to walk to the dinning room. “Everyone else also. I am sure we all have our appetites back now that we know everyone is safe.”

Everyone nodded in agreement and followed her.

The box however stayed put and inside, the blood slowly slid down the sides from a fresh coughing fit from the asshole it had came out of.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sarah wound her way into the passages that lead to the infamous Esher room. She smiled as she thought back on memories again. They kept on coming as she walked into the room. She smiled a little a she heard his sobs ricocheting off the walls.

“How you turned my world your precious thing,” she sang in the same haunting tune he had to her, “You starve and near exhaust me.”

Jareth’s sobs stopped instantly as he hears Sarah’s voice reach his ears. He rose to his feet and smiled as she sang to him.

“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. I move the stars for no one.” He sang back to her, trying to find her in the maze.

“Live without the sunlight,” she sang, running from his coming footsteps.

“Love without your heartbeat,” he answered back, again turning to try to cut her off.

“I,” Sarah sang as she rounded a corner and looked into her king’s eyes, “I love you.”

Jareth smiled as she blushed and then noticed her stomach.

“My gods,” he said reaching for her, “how did you?”

“I am a tricky little wench.” She smiled as he walked to her.

“My tricky little wench.”

Sarah laughed a little as she watched him stalk to her. As his arms closed around her, she closed her eyes and exhaled the last of her worries. This was where she needed to be. Right here, in this moment. And as his searing lips closed around hers, the passion ensued.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Laughter was heard from the group when something else threaded the air.

“Oh my.” Findore blushed and shifted uncomfortably.
They all giggled as the sounds crept into the dinning room.

“I think they found each other.” Siress smiled at the spy, again.

“I would say so... and I think they are happy to see each other.” Crystal smiled.

Sarah’s screams echoed through the room.

“Yeah, I would agree.” Toby snorted. “Oh it’s almost gross!”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sarah broke the red hot kiss and looked hazily into her lover’s eyes. He looked relaxed, well everything except the growing budge in his pants looked relaxed. She smiled at him as he looked her over. Her bloody wedding dress, ripped and tattered, only made her look more desirable.

She gasped as he ripped the rest of the dress off, revealing her naked body to him.

“Your such a gorgeous creature.” He said as he took her pregnant body in.

Sarah rolled her eyes and with a snap of her fingers, released his erection from it’s bindings.

Jareth smiled and pulled her into another gut wrenching kiss. He quickly laid her down on the floor and she hissed a little at the cold stone. It soon passed however, for her body was beginning to create enough heat for it not to matter. Jareth began to move his mouth over her face, kissing every inch of it.

“Mine.” He whispered as he moved down to her neck. He bit softly, earning little squeaks of pleasure from the writhing beauty below him. He made his way down to her plump breasts. He began to nip at her nipples and she moaned loudly. He sucked on one and almost gagged when something shot into his mouth.

Sarah laughed, running her fingers through his hair. “Careful now, my sweet.”

Jareth smiled and mentally noted to not do that again. He nipped down her stomach and across her pelvis. She smelled delicious. Different than she had before, but delicious none the less. He dove his tongue in and relished in the taste of her body and the juice it was supplying. He lapped her up, loving the way she wriggled below him. He missed this, more than anything, sad to say, but he did.

“Jareth, for the love of the gods!” Sarah gasped. It felt so good, it felt so right.

Sarah felt herself at the edge and pulled Jareth away from her.

“Oh no.” She smiled at him and made him stop.

Jareth looked at her in question. She got on her knees, and smiled. She snapped her fingers, and a chair appeared.

“Sit.”

Jareth did as he was told, and no sooner had he sat down, did she engulf him into her mouth. Jareth inhaled and a moan came out quickly. Her mouth felt so damn good. She hummed and sucked. He moaned and wriggled. She reveled in the feel of his shaft in her throat. She sucked long and hard, pulling him deep into her mouth. Quickly he came, letting it spill down the back of her throat.

She smiled at him as his breath evened. “On the floor, now.”

Jareth raised an eyebrow, but obeyed. He remembered people telling him to ‘never piss off a pregnant woman.’

She climbed on top of him, her stomach shining in the light that flooded from the ceiling windows. In the moonlight, she looked like a goddess on her stallion. She started slowly, rubbing herself slowly on his erection. She moaned as she tried to keep herself from going over the edge. Jareth bucked his hips once, and she lost it. She whined loudly as she came once, letting the waves wash over her like a molten bath. She looked him in the eyes and flashed him a smile that told him to have at her. She began to ride him, her hips never leaving his. His hip moved with hers and he moaned as she whined.

“Oh my...” She said aloud as he began to grind into her harder.

Jareth opened his eyes and stared at her body. She looked absolutely fabulous, her pregnant stomach moving with her hips, her mouth open as she whined for him to move in her harder, her head tilted back as she dug her nails into his chest. He closed his eyes, only to open them to find her staring at him. He smiled and she laughed a little as she smiled back. She dug her nails in time with her hips and groaned his name as she went over the top again. Jareth moaned loudly as she did, the sight of her ecstacy ridden face and her body’s reactions sending him careening over the top as well.

“I love you Jareth.”

Jareth smiled as she slid off him. He turned to her and pulled some of her hair out of her face, held in place by the amount of sweat she had on her. He stood and picked her up, both naked as could be, and kissed her forehead.

“And I love you.”

With that, the king took his queen to his chambers.
