~StephenieP.O.V.
Oh crap! What the heck just happened?!? I was so mad, I tried to attack him and he got my arms behind my back. Then a pan flew towards me and I ducked. He didn't see it and it hit him, hard. He was out cold and I felt guilty. I couldn't just leave him there, so I dragged him to his chair thing and found a wet rag to put on his forehead. There was minor swelling, but I quickly worked to stop that. This had to be a dream. This place was so much like my grandma's stories. But that means this guy is the Goblin King, Jareth. OH CRAP!! At least now I can see if my drawings were any good. So, I ran to the room I was in and back. My drawing was surprizingly perfect; I wouldn't change a thing. I wrote a note on some scape paper and left it, plus the picture, on his face. Then I went back to the room, changed into my PJs and went to sleep.
* The next morning
I woke up to banging on my door. I quickly, if not sleepily got dressed in a fresh outfit from my pack. It was a black top with a purple hoodie jacket. My skirt from yesterday was covered in mud so I got out some black jeans. Now that I was dressed I opened the door to an angry Gobln King. I was scared, but living with my parents I learned how to hide some emothions form my face. Instead, I tried to look mildly curious.
"What did you do?!" He asked in a menacingly drawl. His spikey hair was in even more disaray than it was earlier.
I was going to try to seem more like an innocent by-stander. My note explained everything that had happened. "I ducked to avoid being hit and you were behind me, so you got hit. Didn't you get the note?" I defended myself, "I made sure there wasn't any swelling."
"I know, and I did get you're note," He replied drily.
"Then I don't see why I should explain myself further," I said with a glare in his direction. "To: The Goblin King, sorry you got hit in the head with a pan it was an accident. I ducked and you didn't see it until it was too late. Sighed Stephenie"
I turned on my heel and walked to the desk I put my paper and pencils on. Sitting down I started to sketch a blue bird. I ignored him so completely, I didn't knowtice he was standing over me watching the bird take shape on the paper.
"That's really good," He said. It took a lot not to flinch.
"Thank you," I didn't even look at him. I was too preoccupied with the bird I was sketching. I could almost hear it twittering away.
Something in me told me that there was something else I should see. I turned around and saw a blue bird (I mean the species not the color) on his shoulder. He looked at it with a raised eyebrow and didn't notice I was looking until I giggled. When he turned to me, my giggles turned into full out laughing. He just scowled at me.
Once I calmed down, I said between giggles, "Sorry about that *giggles* It's just been a while since I've laughed and it felt really good."
Nodding, he sat down. According to the stories he liked it when people showed they were scared, but I wasn't scared one little bit. I was curious.
Since waiting got really boring, I went to get my drawing supplies. The bird was still on his shoulder, so I colored the picture to see if the bird would become colorful. As I drew the bird flew to my shoulder and when I was done it was still there. I held my fingers to make a perch for it and the bird flew onto my fingers. I knew I was being watched but I really just didn't care.
I started petting the bird and humming a song that my gandma had once sung. My mom sung it to me when she was nice and it was normal for a girl to dream of faeries and goblins. I kept humming and then He started singing along.
There is such a sad love love
deep in your eyes.
a kind of a pale jewel open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
within your eyes
This song was so fimiliar to me. Then came the visions of a crystal ball. Dancing, until I broke the crystal. Why did I break it? All I remember was that it was important. And the look of the heartbread in his own eyes when I did.
There's such a fooled heart
beating so fast.
In search of new dreams
A lave that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
within your heart
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sence for you.
Every feel has gone
Wasn't to much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
Oooh-oooh
As the world falls down.
Yes, I remember falling like that. I feel so dizzy. My bird started to poke my arm to wake me.
Falling.
Yes. Falling. My bird can't do anything. It has no power over me. Why does that sound so funny.
As the world is falling down.
Falling in love.
Yes, I did that once. It didn't work out though. He took something important and tried to make me forget. What happened exactaly? Hmmm. I honestly can't remember.
I'll spend your moments of old
I'll spin your valentine evenings
Though were strangers 'til now
We're chosing the path
between the stars.
I'll lay my love
between the stars.
Hey, I love the stars. We are strangers, though. What was I talking about? I'm so sleepy. I'll just wait until the song is done then I'll go to sleep.
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sence for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't to much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
Oh-Oh
Someone'll be there for me? That hasn't happened in ages! People say they are there but the second you have a problem, They're gone and leave you in the dust.
As the world falls down
Falling,
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the word falls down
Makes no sence at all
Makes no sence to fall
This really makes no sence. Why would you fall? I'm so tired. I can't ever think straight. Something important happened I should remember. But I really, for the life of me, can't.
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Wait a second. Fallin in love? Wait! Jareth the Goblin King takes children who are wished away. Like my brother, Toby. Huh? Where did that come from? I'm an only child. Stephenie Williams. That's me. Why does the name Sarah Williams catch in my mind. Oh yeah, that's my grandma's name. She died the day I was born. She was the first person I ever saw. The song's over and I'm so sleepy. I ... think I'm supposed to stay awake. I'm so very tired. I just need rest for a few minutes.
~Jareth
Why am I singing Sarah's song? I made that song for her and her alone. Stephenie mummbled about a grandmother and death. I paid even more attention when she said Sarah Williams. The bird stayed on her shoulder even when she was asleep.
"Watch over her," I commanded the bird. I sure that if the bird could, it would roll it's eyes. I had used to much magick to quickly and needed to rest. I froze time, teleported, morphed, used spy-crystals, and sung a song that was mixed with a sleeping spell. All to soon, I realized her room was two doors down from mine. To tired to care, I walked quickly to my room bolted the door and went to sleep.
*Dream*
Sarah was walkng in the labyrinth below me. She was alone which was rarely the case before. It seemed that the labyrinth brightened were she was. Then there was an other person with her. They smiled while I landed near-by. They look like twins. The only difference was that one was in white only and the other was in all black. The one in black didn't seem completely solid when I landed, but the more they were in eachother's presence the more solid she seemed. As that was occuring the one in white was fading away. Instantly I knew that she was Sarah but the on in black was that new girl, Stephenie. Instinctively, I reached for Sarah, but she faded into a silver-green mist before I could touch her. All she did was stare at me with those cruel eyes. Then she was gone. What was left were the 'certian powers' I had given her, they were in the formof one of my crystals. The crystal, however, didn't want to come back, in stead it went inside Stephenie and her eyes became exactally like Sarah's. I couldn't believe that the crystal betrayed me and went to her instead. She just stood there. Then she tilted her head up to the moon and said.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Jareth." A single tear slid down her face. It sounded as if Sarah and Stephenie were speaking in unison, "Fate is changing and destiny is shuffeling."
Then I woke with a start. Someone was knocking softly on my door. Which was a major change from the clumsily loud banging of the goblins. When I opened it, there was Stephenie. She looked confused but determind. I motioned her to come in. We sat down across from eachother near the fireplace.
"Did you dream it, too?" She asked.
I nodded, astonished and trying not to show it.
"What does it mean?" She looked sad and scared, even in her black clad gothness.
"It sounded like a prophecy," was all I said.
"Why did Sarah go inside of me?" Her question gave me a jolt. So she knew of Sarah and has some kind of connection to her? I'm going to find our what it is.
"I don't know," I knew she had many more questions so I quickly interjected, "How do you know Sarah?"
She stared at her hands on her lap. It was a shy gesture for people for the Aboveground. One of my eyebrows rose as I waited for an answer. She took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes.
"She was my grandma," Was her monotone answer. The bird she created landing on her shoulder.
Grandma? Grandma!?! How long was time frozen down here? SHar was 15 when I last saw her and now her grandchild was here telling me about it? How old was she now? Millions of questions similar to these raced through my mind and Stephenie just looked around, nervously.
"And how is she?" I tried to make myself seem cold and detached to this person in front of me. In reality my heart was pounding in my ears.
She looked down again, but not like before, this time I saw tears well up in her eyes. She looked so sad, but when she looked up again there was determination in them. Stephenie was just as defiant as Sarah. "She's been gone for 18 years."
I felt my resolve to stay detached crumgle. My heart was breaking, and the world grew fuzzy at the edges. My world was fallinf down. The crackeling of the fire was getting louder and louder. Itw was only when Stephenie gasped and the fire gave a loud crack that I looked up and saw the fire reflect in her brown-green eyes. They did seem to be more of a gold color now, though. The room seemed too cold, even with the fire goig. Stephenie's eyes started to glaze over and she was shaking. I mist covered her body, it seemed to become dencer over her heart. A crystal formed in that mist and it rolled off of her and into the fire. She went still the second the crystal formed. THe fire grew a few feet and out stepped a gigure made completely of the mist, it was Sarah.
"Sarah?" I said reaching for her. When I tried to touch her arm, my hand went right through er. She just stood there and smiled a sad smile.
"It's been a while, Goblin King."
"Stephenie told me that your dead, so cut the greetings," I really was acting like a child.
She just smiled again. This was a love filled smile directed at Stephenie. "My grandaughter is right, I am dead."
"Then, how are you here, Sarah?" I was getting frustrated with all of these things that are going on.
"Do you think it's a coincedence that you woke when Steph got here? How about her obsession with this place? Maybe that she was born the day I died?!? Take your own advice and take NOTHING for granted!!!"
With that said the mist hovered over Stephenie. The mist entered her mouth, and her eyes flew open while she gasped for air. Sitting up straight and blinking a few times, she shivered.
"Ya know, out of body esperiences aren't as weird as people say," She said with a small laugh.
