Who: Jareth What:Jareth discovers Sarah's gone When: Evening Where: Sarah's old apartment Status: COMPLETE Rating: PG The apartment was empty. Jareth knew that from the moment his owl form got close enough to see inside the bare windows, but he didn't allow himself to believe it until he was actually inside the deserted place. There were no more traces of Sarah there, nothing that showed where she might have gone. Even the damned traitorous cat was gone.
Slowly he walked from the living room to the bedroom, even the bathroom and kitchenette area, looking for some sign of where she had gone. Part of him hoped that she had merely been transported back to her rightful time and away from her scarred boyfriend, but he felt instinctively that that was not the case. No, she was here, and somewhere in the city, and wherever she was she did not want to be found. Thinking that she needed a bit of time to cool down after Peter's attack backfired on him—she had, after all, in essence watched her boyfriend die—Jareth had stayed away, and evidentally that was all the lead in Sarah needed to get away.
Growling, he sank to the floor of the abandoned apartment. He would find Sarah, he assured himself, and when he did he would get through to her...somehow. He wouldn't give her time to flee like this again, he would be better, faster, more forward thinking and much less patient.
