Chapter 2
"Sarah" I heard someone whisper. I groaned in pain rolling onto my other side. "Sarah" the mans velvet voice whispered again. "Hmmm?" I asked, I wanted to sleep. The man chuckled. "Come now Sarah, wake up" I opened my eyes to a very bright yet dark room. I turned my head and there I saw The Goblin King himself sitting next to the king sized bed. I gasped and jumped up immediately looking at my surroundings, from the looks of it, I think Im in his bedroom. I focused my eyes on giving him a glare.
"You know, I thought you would never get up, you have been asleep all day" he said amusement evident in his eyes. Memories of what happened earlier rushed to her.
It was silent until finally Jareth spoke "Well I guess I might as well show you to your room" he got up and walked over to the door and waited. I drew the covers off myself and was thankful when I realized I was still in my regular clothes. I walked over to him and he opened the door for me. I walked silently next to Jareth and I bumped into him when he suddenly stopped walking.
"Its right next to yours" I mumbled. He opened the door and motioned for me to walk in. The room was fairly plain with a bed in corner with a night stand on one side. There was a screen for changing in another corner and there was a wardrobe against the wall. One window allowed some light. There were 2 doors. "That one is your bathing chambers" he said pointing to the right. "And this one?" I asked pointing toward the other door. He smiled "Oh that one goes to my room" I turned around so fast I got a little dizzy.
"Why would I need a door allowing myself entrance to your room?" I said furiously.
"Well you never know, besides it is your duty as my prisoner and personal servant to wake me in the morning, but this will all be explained to you later, I have other things to attend to" and with that he vanished. I went straight for the door, it was locked, both of them were. "Damn you Jareth" I muttered. I sunk to my knees realization finally hitting me. I cried for a while until finally I just stared at the ceiling while laying on my bed.
There was then a knock on the door. It opened and there was a small goblin standing there. "Come Come child we must get you all washed up, his majesty requests that you join him for dinner" the goblin said. I sat up and said firmly "Well you can tell his majesty that Im not coming" he shook his head and then he left.

I sat waiting for Sarah in the dining hall. She has changed a lot since I last saw her. She isn't a girl anymore, shes a woman that was evident in her know curvy figure. I shouldn't be that one thats nervous here I am King. "I told her to come down...why isn't she here yet?" I yelled pacing back and forth. "Try and be patient sire the girl has lost her family and her freedom all in one day" my good friend Liam told me. I sighed, he was right after all. My stomach flipped as I heard the door start to open, I turned around and saw a goblin. "Well? Where is she?"
"Well you see shes a little busy...um...shes not coming"
"WHAT!" I yelled jumping up and making my way to her bed chambers. "Your grace! Wait! I do not think this is the best idea!" Liam ran after me. I banged on her door as loudly as I could. "I thought I made it very clear you were to dine with me for dinner!" I yelled. "Im not hungry!" she yelled right back.
"You come out or I'll...I'll break down the door!" I threatened. "
"Sire I could be wrong but that might not be the best way to win the girl's affection" Liam said behind me. "Try being...gentle" I took a deep breath to steady myself. "It would make me very pleased if you joined me for dinner" I gritted my teeth. "No thank you!"
"You cant stay there forever!"
"Yes I can!" she yelled and I lost my temper "FINE THEN GO AHEAD AND STARVE!" I yelled and turned to Liam "If she doesn't eat with me she doesn't eat at all" and then I vanished to my study. Why did this girl have to be so difficult?
There was a faint knock on the door "WHAT!" I yelled and quickly regretted it seeing who it was.
"Oh Liam I didn't know it was you, Im sorry old friend" how he got there so quickly was beyond me, Liam shrugged it off.
"Think nothing of it, if I may do you think it wise to be so...rough, if you will, with the girl?" I sat back my chair and sighed. "I mean Im sure if you give her time she will warm up to you?" Liam tried.
"Ah Liam old friend you do not know Sarah as I do. She is a stubborn woman and once her mind is set you can not change its set course" He only shrugged.
"Well maybe you should try and change it" he then went out the door leaving me to think about what he had just said. Why did this girl confuse me so?

I stood there furious as he yelled at me, my face turning red. Once I was sure he had left I sat down on the bed, grabbed the pillow and screamed in it. After I got all my anger out I gave a big sigh and went over to the door, it was left unlocked. I smiled and opened the door peeking my head out in the hall to make sure it was clear. It was and I started looking for some sort of exit. I went down dozens of halls and stair wells but there wasn't an exit. "Gosh its like this castle is a labyrinth in itself!" I sighed. I then came into a very large room. Huge windows lined up on the walls covered my dark thick curtains and there was a rather large door there. But what caught my attention was a big chair or rather Im guessing was the throne. It was made out of marble as were the floors. I hated to admit it but it was beautiful. I then heard someone coming down the hall. I panicked and ran for the door.
It was heavy but I managed to get it open right as a man came into the throne room. We locked eyes for about a second before I ran out the door. "The girl has escaped!" I heard him yell as I ran. No doubt they would be sending people to come looking for me now. I ran passed many goblins not stopping once until I reached a forest. I decided to go in that way it would be harder to find. I kept running until I was sure I was deep enough in the forest so that they wouldn't find me. My chest hurt from running and I sat down as I took deep breaths. Thats when I heard it. Growling. Very loud growling and lots of it.
I looked around to see what it was but it was so dark I could barely see. I started running again and heard them coming after me. I screamed when I hit the ground tripping over a branch. I then saw them. Wolves crouching ready to pounce. They stared at me with hunger. I picked up the branch I had tripped on and swung it at one of the wolves the pounced.
It whimpered as it hit the ground and I smiled in triumph. But it quickly faded when one of the wolves grabbed the branch in they're mouth pulling at it, trying to get it out of my grasp. I yelled as I hit the ground. I then saw it start to jump at me and I threw my hands up as a shield, closing my eyes and gasped. I heard a whimper of pain. I opened my eyes to see the goblin king in front of me fighting off the wolves. They Jumped on him, scratched him and bit him but he still tore them off himself and hit them. Once the wolves saw they were not going to win they ran off in fear. I sighed in relief and as if forgetting I was there he turned around hunched over in exhaustion and whispered "You stupid girl" he made his way over to me and grabbed my shoulders. The next thing I knew we were in the throne room and he then fell passing out.
