Sarah gazed gloomily out of her bedroom window. It was dark, and stormy, and her room looked depressing bearing only candlelight. The moon was barely a sickle in the black starless sky. Her mind wandered to the night her life had changed forever. To the night that had made her happy, and sad; made her heart swell, and shatter; the night the Goblin King whisked her away to the land of her dreams and imagination; the night she had ruined him, his kingdom, and his love for her. She sighed. That night had been six years ago, the weekend after her 15th birthday. Every night since then she had dreamed of his feather-soft hair tickling her cheek, and his soft leather-clad hands clamping hers.
"and I'll be there for you- oo- oo, as the world falls doooown…"
She shivered. She could hear it as though he were singing it in her ear, as he did so many years ago. She sighed again, wishing the hurt would just go away, the tears would dry, and her heart would heal. When she closed her eyes, even for a brief moment, she could feel his boring into her soul. One blue and one brown, she remembered. His thin lips, just waiting to kiss, and be kissed. The look in his eyes that night showed nothing but pure determination, and a love so deep, so strong, that Sarah's blood went warm just thinking about it. The tears had started to fall again, a steady of stream of salt water stung her chapped lips.
She ran over to her window, and screamed to the moon, "J-Jareth!" her tears had started to flow harder, and faster. "JARETH!" she yelled again. She slowly walked backwards from her window, never taking her eyes from the moon. She tripped on her bed and spun around so she was on her knees, face buried in her blanket. She raised her head from her tear stained covers and screamed "Jareth!" one last time. When she had buried her face back in her covers she remembered the book she hadn't opened since her 16th birthday, and recited the quip that had gotten her brother taken away. "I wish the goblin king would take me away, right now!"
A gust of wind blew her candles out, and she fell asleep.
