The Secrets within Chapter 2
Disclaimer ~ Read Chapter 1
Sarah P.O.V.
There he stood in all his glory, the one who I defeated five years ago, the one who I could not get off my mind for those five years.
Jareth stood there with a certain enigma around him, full of power and control. He hadn't changed much over the years; he still wore the tight pants, the ruffle front shirt, the black cape, the black gloves and the knee high leather boots. His hair still had its choppy blond style only slightly longer.
Time seemed to stop when I looked over him but that was stopped short when he spoke.
"Hello Sarah" he said with that British accent while twirling a crystal ball in his hand. I didn't reply as I was captivated in the movement of the crystal. A smirk appeared on the face of Jareth when he saw what I was looking at.
"Ah, I see you've noticed my crystal, do you want it?" he said in a taunting voice that would make a 5 year old cower. After those words were spoken it was as if the trance I was in broke and the box containing my anger from five year ago snapped, yes I may have missed him but he is not getting to know that.
"What are you doing here Jareth?" I asked his name rolling of my tongue with venom. Jareth laughed teasingly, "why Sarah you should know that by now, why don't you tell me?" he said darkly
I thought it over for a few minutes and then the barrier around my brain came crashing down, Toby!
"NO WAY! You are not getting Toby! Not in a thousand years! I won! I defeated your Labyrinth! You have no power over me!" I ranted at him.
You know what the sick thing is, he laughed in my face I mean come on what else would he be here for?
He circled round me like a predator about to go for the kill.
"Sarah do you really believe that I have no power you? I think you will find that I have all the power over you since you started to dream about me and think about me. No I'm not here for Toby however much I did like the little tyke, what a great heir he would of been, a shame really." He stated
I looked in his eyes, which turned out to be a bad idea as I became entranced in them. After a few minutes of gazing into those enchanting eyes I managed to speak with confidence.
"Then. Why. Are. You. Here?" I asked.
His reply was simple, two words; "for you."
Those two words took a few moments to sink in to my brain, resulting in me having a sharp intake of breath.
"No!" I stated with confidence "you will not take me away from here, not from Toby"
However, I don't think the words sunk into Jareth's brain, and then again I guess they did.
"Yes!" he said angrily while turning and grabbing my arm roughly and tightening his grip just enough that I could not yank it away. "You will come with me back to the castle beyond the Goblin City, whether you like it or not!"
I closed my eyes and counted to ten trying to forget about the pain starting to form in my arm, all the while whispering
"You are not real, just a fragment of my imagination. You are not real and even if you were you have no power over me or Toby. You can not harm me or Toby. When I open my eyes you will be gone."
Jareth chuckled yet again at my antics and whispered into my ear
"Oh yes Sarah. You will come with me. I am real; you know that so well, your dreams know it, even Toby knows it."
When he said that last sentence my eyes flew open and my mouth opened in shock. I turned to face Jareth and stated boldly trying to stop the fear from overcoming me.
"What do you mean Toby knows you are real?"
Jareth didn't say anything for a few seconds and I was about to ask again when he stated
"Did you not see the picture?" he asked
"No! What have you done? He is only a child; you can't do anything to him, leave him out of this."
Jareth ignored what I said and continued
"Who do you think allowed him to have 'imaginary Goblin Friends' Sarah? How do you think he managed to draw me beside you?"
The last question caught my attention. What did he mean? No he didn't. "You didn't!" I exclaimed in shock horror.
"But yes I did precious; I visited him, not once, not twice but many times. He knows who I am and what I am to you and what you are to me."
I looked at him completely confused "What's that supposed to mean? What am I to you? 'your majesty'" I said while giving a pathetic attempt at a curtsy while he still held my arm.
The look on his face was one of pure rage; he looked appalled at me for some reason. "Do not mock me precious! You-"
"I wasn't mocking you!" I stated
"Yes you were! And" he said while tightening his grip on my arm "You. Will. Not. Interrupt. Me. Precious." He demanded through gritted teeth. He then loosened his grip on my arm slightly then continued "you are MINE! You will be MY QUEEN!" He let go of my arm completely and started to pace.
"But I will allow you to finish collage first; you have a year until you will be mine." With that being said the great Jareth the Goblin King transformed into that gorgeous fluffy barn owl and went out of my open window back towards the underground to the castle beyond the goblin city.
The dread of only having a year and a bit sunk into my brain and my breathing picked up until I was almost hyperventilating. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths trying to calm myself, however, that didn't work and I started to sob, I quickly got changed into my jammies and sat on my bed.
A few minutes later my bedroom door creaked open and I looked up to see the sandy blond hair of little Toby carrying Lancelot, whom I gave to him permanently on his second birthday. He looked up to me his eyes stating to tear up. "Sa-wa okay?" he chocked out and lifted his arms up so he could be picked up. I wiped my tears and lifted Toby up and brought him under the covers beside me and cuddled him to me tightly as if he was going to disappear, and whispered into his ear. "yeah Toby I'm okay, now that my little knight is here beside me." after that being said I lay down on my pillow and stoked Toby's hair until he fell asleep and then I drifted into the darkness into what I hoped to be a dreamless sleep. However unfortunately that was not to be.
