A Fairy Child...?
Chapter One: The Deal
"Jareth! Damn you! Let me go!" Sarah ordered. The Goblin King had take her prisoner, and had brought her to his palace. He locked her in a room; a very nice room.
Jareth, being in his throne room dealing with pressing matters, could not hear Sarah's orders and protests.
Sarah, unaware of where she was, (although she had a pretty good idea...) decided she was going to scream until either she couldnt any more or someone had come to take her home. "JARETH!!!! I WANT to go home!" she continued to scream such things for what she took to be hours... (although it was merely one hour)
When she couldnt scream anymore, she sat in the middle of the floor, holding her knees. She didn't cry; not yet. She figured that Jareth had finaly decided he wanted revenge. He was going to lock her in a room with no food or water until she died. (people think these things when they get locked somewhere!)
After all, isn't that what she deserved? No; she wouldn't let herself think like that! But she had broken his heart, his pride and beaten his magic... Yet somehow, she couldnt seriously beleive that he would have waited two years since she had left the labyrinth to get his revenge... She couldn't beleive he had brought her here for that; she wouldn't let herself think that... Sarahs thoughts ran along that line until she finaly broke down in tears. And while she wasin her room, crying, Jareth was still in his throne room, in the middle of an urgent meeting with his advisors.
"We advised against this..." The main advisor hissed.
"So what's your point? I'm KING! I can do as I wish!" Jareth told them, his tone harsh and unforgiving.
"Yes,Your Majesty, Sorry, Your Majesty." The goblin said, bowing his head in respect.
"You never would have done this three years ago... before you met her...!" Another goblin said, his temper getting the better of him.
"I don't care! You hear me! I. Don't. Care." he told them. "And now, if you'd please excuse me... I have more pressing matters to attend to."
"And just what could possibly be considered more pressing than our nation falling down around us!?!" The same goblin who had complained yelled.
"Temper. Temper. Everything is more important than you fools! I only made an advisory team to help end my boredom! I don't need you. I never listen to you. Why are you still telling me to do things? If anything I did better before I had advisors."he told them.
"Before you had us you were beaten by a mere girl... a human girl..... non magical...." This goblin was just looking for trouble.
"Ahhhh... But that is where you are wrong... She is no mere human girl. She is a fairy child... She has magic...She just doesnt know about it... Her magic, on its own, comanded my labyrinth to move. That's how she got through." He had spent at least two years working on this theory and researching her family line.
"Very creative lord..." While all of the other goblin advisors beleived him, this one just wouldnt shut up. "You've created your own fairy story so as not to be as humiliated...That's alright. You don't have to lie to us. We know the real story."
"I'm tired of you..." He said simply. He lifted the fool up, easily, with one hand.He threw him against the back wall and a slight crack was heard. The fool than dropped to the ground with a plop, and a trickel of blood could be seen running down his forehead.
"Carrick!?!" One of the few female advisors said worriedly. She glanced at her king, her eyes begging for permission to run to his side. The king nodded his head, he may seem evil and cold hearted, but he could tell she loved him. He couldnt deny her the job of caring and tending to his wounds. She rushed at him and felt for Carrick's pulse. He still had one. She sighed out a long breath, thankfully.
"I'm leaving now! Any other objections...?"
"No" chorused all of the advisors, minus one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarah was still sitting in the middle of the floor in the room she had been locked in.;she had her eyes closed, her cheeks were tear stained, her hair was tangled, wild,sticking to her face in some places. She had no idea how long she had sat there in silence.
She jumped, about a mile high, when she heard the jingle of keys out side her door.
"Sarah...?" the calm, quiet, soothing, voice of Jareth asked, as he opened the door and walked in.
"Leave me be..." She murmured, barely audible.
"What was that...? I couldn't hear you...?" he said smirking. It was good for him to see her like this. Pathetic and seeming like a small child.
"Why have you brought me here?!?" She demanded.
"I thought you would've known by now..." He wanted to toy with her some, before he got down to buisness. "I gave you my heart, Sarah. I changed the rules for you. I've been put through hell for two years... All for you... Sarah, understand I do that for no one!"
"If I'm no one then why'd you do it?!?!"
"You stole my heart. My love. My world. My mind has been ypoours, for two lonely years. Two lonely, boring, years." He said quietly.
"Touched, Sarah was speechless for a moment.He had actually loved her? Still did? It wasn't all just a trick?
"You have a power... One that exceeds the strength of mine... You were right two years ago. I had no power over you."
She didn't like how he had said 'had' she would have liked him to say 'have no pwer over you. She frowned.
"So how do like it here? I've put you in one of my best rooms... Does it suit you? Would you like another? A different one...? With a better veiww of the sky? Tell me and I'll do it.... Anything... I'll do anything...."
"Take me home..." That waswhat she really wanted... Wasn't it?
"Sarah... Sarah...Sarah... Have you learned nothing from me? You'll not be leaving any time soon."
"Please...? I just want to go home...." She was practically begging.
"I'll make you a deal... You stay here six months and then, if you still want to leave... I'll let you.... Does that work?"
"NO!!!! Six months is way to long!" she protested.
"Fine. Five months?" He asked. If you want something, and you know the person you want it from will say no, start with something higher. He wanted her to stay atleast three months.
"No!!!" I'll stay here no longer than possible."
"You'll stay here until I take you back to your world. And I'll only do so if you stay here for five months!"
"Three..." She mumbled, knowing he had her beat.
"What...?" He smirked, he wanted her to say she would stay with him for three months.
"I'll stay three... Not five..."
"Okay... Three it is... It's a deal than?" he asked cheerfully. He had won; just like he had thought he would.
"It's a deal..." She sighed, defeated.
"Alright Sarah. I'll send someone up with food and inform the servants of you. Soon all you'll have to do is ask something and it will be heard and done. Do you wish me to leave your door unlocked? Yes? Alright. Feel free to explore my palace... If you sense a bad feeling about a room, don't go in." And with that said, he left the room.
