Note: I don't own these characters, I just think Jareth is really really
sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran down the hall and jerked the door open to the library. I went and laid down on one of the coaches in the reading area. I cried there for a long time.
How come no one wants me? I thought.
My name is Grace, and I am an orphan. And I have been for years. It hurt knowing that no one wanted me. That if I were to leave the earth no one would care. All I ever wanted was for someone to want me to exist. My parents died because of a car crash. And I was left.
No one ever wanted a girl who was a teenager, imaginative, and strongly believes in magic. I came to the library every night and cried.
Alone. As all ways. I had no friends either. Well, unless you count the white owl that watches me every night. I some times talk to him. And he seems to understand even though he is, well, an animal.
I opened the window and sure enough, there he was. I walked over to the check out desk and sat on top of it. I dried my tear stained face with my sleeve. I sat right across from the creature and started talking to him.
"Why do you think no one wants me?" I said. "I mean, am I really all that terrible?" The owl shook its feathers as if saying no.
I got down and walked towards the window.
"Is it wrong to just want a place to belong?"
It shook its feathers again. I turned my back towards it.
"I mean doesn't any one want me?!"
"I want you." Said a deep thrilling voice that sent chills down my back. I turned around and saw a man. A tall man dressed in black. I could see him staring at my through his dark eyes. He had a teasing smile on his face. As soon as I saw him my heart started to beat faster.
"Who are you?" I asked, choking on my words.
"I am Jareth. The Goblin King, ruler of Goblin City, and your owl friend you talk to." I felt my throat close up.
Can this be true? I thought. Is this really him? It must be. How could he come out of no where if he wasn't?
I noticed he was staring at me. I stared back at him. I felt warm and comfortable. When I noticed what I was doing I blushed and looked away.
"So Grace, every night for the past year you have talked to me. Trusted me. Confided in me. I feel like I know you better than any one. And, since you call me your friend, then I would like you to come live with me."
"Come live with you?" I stammered.
"Yes. You would have a place to belong. A place where you're wanted. Isn't that what you want?"
"Yes…" my voice seemed to be drifting.
"Well then come live with me. You can rule at my side. You can talk to me whenever you want. And…" he walked over to be and took my hand and gently kissed it. "we can be closer than ever." He smiled teasingly.
My heart was beating faster and faster by the second.
"But why do you want me?" I asked.
"Because, doll, you are so full of life."
I stood there staring at him.
He would give all this to me? I thought.
"But what would you want in return?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said. I nodded. Everything around us withered away. Suddenly I find myself standing in front of to doors that led inside a huge castle.
"This will be your new home!" Jareth said, almost singing. He opened the front doors and waved for me to go in before him. I walked down a long hallway looking at every painting, sculpture, and goblin as I walked by.
But little did I know Jareth stood back at the door watching me.
He said in a low cool voice "I want nothing……….yet."
