The Meaning of Love and Hatred
NOTE: I DO NOT OWN THE LABYRINTH OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS CREATED BY JIM HENSON.
I swear, when I look at the sun for a while and glance away I can see his face. The one who took my brother from me… My brother I irresponsibly wished away.
-Jareth- My thoughts and dreams still cling to him. I never would have thought someone could anger, frighten, and mesmerize me the way he has. The Goblin King… Heh! I would be the one person to have something out of this world happen to them and not be able to share it with anyone, knowing if I did I'd more than likely be passed off as insane.
It's been a few years now since my adventure and my birthday just so happens to be today! Hoggle said that he would get me something, but that it will be homemade! I'm guessing its food? Clothing? Hehehe you never know with him!
Lying on my bed I try to focus on things of this world… but they don't intrigue me as the labyrinth and its beauty. And most of all its ruler.
"Your majesty, may I ask a question sire?" asked a scaly and half dazed goblin.
"Only if you don't begin to ask more than usual…" replied The Goblin King.
"Well, it seems your gloriousness that every time I enter you chamber sir, you're looking in on that mortal. May I ask why… your most exuberant one?" Said the goblin scared and yet curious.
Turning the crystal ball back to nothingness in his hands Jareth replied, "I find her interesting. Nothing more. Nothing of importance to you... My reasons are my own; I think I've had enough prattle. Leave me."
A curious and brave goblin to have asked such personal questions took his leave of the king, and thought of how on any other day he would have gotten the end of His Majesty's boot, for nosing around.
–Yes, his majesty must have feelings for this girl… She did beat the Labyrinth, maybe in the process as well his heart.- thought the goblin while on his way to collect a list of other chores.
"Hoggle… Hoggle… Where are you? Today's my birthday you said you'd be here." Yelled out Sarah.
"You promised…" a single tear trickled down Sarah's cheek.
It's almost midnight now, and he's still not here. Something doesn't feel right. He's always here when he says he will be.
`knock`knock`knock`
"Hold on a minute!" yelled Sarah. Moments passed as she tried to regain her composure and brighten up her face to hide the sadness.
"You can come in now!" she yelled.
"Hey kiddo, what ya doing?" asked Sarah's father.
"Nothing just sitting around, my friends were supposed to come over but they weren't able to make it today… But that's okay cause I'll probably find out why they couldn't come tomorrow." Replied Sarah.
"I'm sorry honey. Maybe I can help make up their absence?" said her father concerned.
"Nah, don't worry about me I'll be find dad! I guess I needed the time alone anyway just to think." Said Sarah.
"Well, honey I'll be in my study if you need me." Closing the door he waved.
"Thanks dad!" sighing Sarah picked up the phone and dialed her friend lacey's cell.
"Hey lace! What are you up to?" asked Sarah happily.
"Nothing much just sitting on my ass! I think I might read a book in a little bit!" said lacey cheerily.
"Yeah my birthday kind of went to crap… I'm all alone for it and I understand that you can't be here because you're in California right now but I'm just tired of being alone." Said Sarah sadly.
"Awww, wish I was there. We'd have a blast just you and me! But, we can make up for that when I get back! How about me you and a titty bar!" Lacey laughed trying to cheer up Sarah.
"Ha-ha! You're on Lace!" giggled Sarah.
"Well Sarah warah I'm gunna read my book now and head off to bed! Call me tomorrow? Same time?" asked Lacey.
"Sure sure! Till tomorrow then! Bye lace!" Replied Sarah faking happiness.
Sarah thought out loud, "I wish I could see him for real and not just in a dream…"
The Goblin King sat in his bed chambers and felt an unusual magic tugging at him. Watching himself begin to materialize he was prepared now for anything that lied in waiting when he gained back mass. Lying on her bed, Sarah laughed nervously that she had realized she had made a wish without meaning to, and hoped nothing would come of it. The last time she made a wish her life felt as if it lied in ruins… literally… Rolling over she tried to be lulled into sleep by the humming of the air conditioner. `Floor boards creak…` Hearing the noise Sarah stiffened, and feared what she might see when she turned to look at the noise. She thought of the many ways to do so… to suddenly pop up and be done with it, or pretend to roll over and peek through her long lashes… Choosing the first action she popped up deciding she'd have better reaction time if it was something dangerous in her room. Catching her breath, she stared into those beautiful mismatched eyes she stared into all those years ago. `Jareth` "Did you summon me?" he asked impatiently and confused. "No… Yes… I don't know…" said Sarah looking away from him now, too embarrassed of her wish and the true meaning of her dreams should they be revealed to him. "I have no time for games… How did you get me here without wishing someone away..?" said Jareth curiously. "I don't know, I just wished for someone… not anyone in particular." Said Sarah now flushed. "You wished for someone and here I am?" Jareth said knowingly.
