Hello everyone!
I'm FaintHearted and this ( waves hands towords story ) is my first attempt at a Labby fanfic. Actually it's my first attempt at any fanfiction.
I want you to please be honest in your reviews about what you think of my fanfic ok?
Oh yeah, before I forget, I do not own the Labrinth. That was my disclaimer if your wondering.
Well on with my story!
SafeKeeping
Chapter 1. Tale me a story and I'll give you a bath.
I had known the moment I spoke the words "You have no power over me!" (Well actually I kinda yelled them) that I would forever relive that moment in all my days.
I would remeber the sadness that flew quick as lightning in his eyes, and then be replaced by regret. I would remeber the way I felt dizzy as I realized I had just thrown away a chance to be with an amazing guy. ( A amazing Goblin King guy at that!)
I know if I drift to deeply into my feeling that I supress, I would forever feel like drowning myself in the nearest kiddy pool.
So, instead of giving into the earge to either drown myself in the Tobby's kiddy pool, or to yell "My Gergous, Ecotistic, Handsome, totoaly to Die for Goblin King; take me away!" I had decided to pretend that it was puppy love on my part and that I now hated him.
Besides there was no chance of me seeing HIM agian.
Famous Last words.
" Tell my a story about two starcross lovers." said my brother Tobby, with a eager grin on his face, for he loved a good tale.
"Okay kiddo, how about Romeo and Juliet?" I frown when he shakes his head no.
"Why not?" I ask curious, since I figure he would love the bloody gore of such a morbid tale.
Tobby cocked his head as if he was deeply in thought.
"Because they die, and I want to hear a story where the lovers live happily ever after." He finaly said as he settled hisself on my lab.
"Ok then, How about Cinderella?" I ask as I lean myself onto the back of my headbored.
"No" Tobby's voice almost sounded pouty.
"Snow White? Princess and the Pea? Beauty and the Best?" I kept on asking, frustration beginning to take route at each negative shake of Tobby's blonde head.
I was seriously having thoughts about having a certian Goblin Kind coming and taking me away.
"I want to hear the story of The Labrinth."
Tobby's voice saying such a sentence all but made me keel over right then and there ( I almost did!)
"W-what? How do you know about the Labrinth?" I stuttered out to my brother, who seemed ignorant of the emotion in my voice.
You, see I had buried my Labrinth book in the darkest, deepest whole I could find in the park.
It was probably sleeping nicely under a rose bush right about now.
Toby turned to me, a bright grin lit up on his cherub face.
"I found a book in the Park, It was buried under a rose bush. A owl showed me where." He exclaimed to me, his blue eyes filled with excitment for sharing such a treasure.
One Boy's treasure is MY Nightmare come true.
I did the only logical think I could think of at that moment.
I fainted.
I awoke later on when water splashed in my face.
I groggily opened my eyes to stare into Tobby's worried gaze.
And into another set of eyes.Eyes that I would never forget.
HIS.
"What are you doing here?" I manage to hiss out at him as water dripped from my face.
Jareth smiled his cute- er scratch that, I mean arrogant smile.
"Why dear Sarah. I'm obviously giving you a bath." His eyes twinkled merrily at me.
The Jerk was laughing at me!
I saw red and before I could think.( blushes ) I- decked him in the eye.
I did honestly feel sorry about hitting Jareth ( well sorta ) and he seemed not to be mad. Just sorta shocked.
"That wasn't nice Sara" He told me with a click of his tounge, as if he was chiding a child.
Speaking of child.
I looked to Tobby, who was watching the exchance with something similar to the look a Baby gets when very hungry.
The Brat found this amusing.
I decide not to get upset about this, I was no longer a 15 year old child. I was now I whopping 18 years old. I couldn't offord to act like a child right now. Though I would like nothing better to do than starting throwing glass and screaming on the top of my lungs right now.
I decied to do something else.
I sit up straight in my bed (still wet from earlier ) and elevate my chin.
"So Jareth," I ask him in a school teacher manner," What the hell are you doing here?!"
Jareth smiles a sensual smile at me before repling.
"I'm here to tale young Tobby his star crossed lovers tale"
I can hear buzzing going around me ears, and I vaguly register the fact that Tobby was jumping up and down and screaming like a banshee. He was so happy to hear his tale.
I didn't feel like listening so I fainted agian.
I know I took the cowards way out but when dealing with a goblin king in tight pants I figure you would understand. I do have to keep my sanity.
Though I'm probably first up for a pretty new straight jacket real soon if my life doesn't take on a normal path.
