A Happy Surprise by Nimbus Fabella __________________

"Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave!" Jareth pleaded with her.

Sarah saw the pain that came off him in waves. It became increasingly difficult to carry on with her emotionless speech. She swallowed and looked from his sorrowful eyes, to the crystal that he held in his hand. The clock ticked. Time was running out. She had three choices: one, finish her speech. Two, take the crystal. And finally three, keep thinking of more choices, let time run out, lose her brother, and her last chance at true happiness.

She chose.

She slowly reached her hand forward, and Jareth thrust forward the crystal into her hand, and smiled a triumphant smile.

The clock began to chime.

She shouted over the chimes. "For now, all I ask of you is one thing! I just want Toby returned home!"

"Whatever you want, you'll get." said Jareth. He smiled a sneaky smile that Sarah didn't notice.

Sarah looked up, eyes searching the stairs for her brother. As soon as she placed him, he disappeared. She smiled because she knew that he was where he belonged, and now she was where she belonged.

The last bell chimed, and he turned to her, and smiled. "I'm glad you decided to stay."

She smiled in return. "So am I."

He stepped toward her and put his hands on her shoulders. She shivered in return. He slowly smiled, and bent to kiss her, at which point he teleported them to cliff that overlooked a sunny, beach with crystal waters, white sand, and beautiful palm trees as far as the eye can see.

Suddenly the contact of her lips to something rough made her recoil in terror.

The person who now stood in front of her was no longer the Goblin King, but a man with a face so burnt, his evil eyes were almost indistinguishable. Upon his head was a worn brown bowler derby, and protruding from his right hand were four almost saber-sized blades. She instantly knew who it was. Freddy Krueger.

As she attempted to turn and run, he pulled her to him and ran her through, and spoke. "Here's a happy surprise for you!". Then he proceeded to shove her off of the cliff.

As she free-fell she lost the crystal and heard malevolent cackling. She saw, before her, jagged rocks that were coming toward her. Fast.

When she finally hit the rocks, she felt horrible pain, and knew that her body was shattered. Just as she heard the crystal explode beside her, she gave a final glance to the bloody, skewered body of her brother, Toby. ________________________________________________________________
