Chapter 2
Jareth was shocked to see Sarah back in the Underground, "How did she get back down here?" Jareth wondered after another glance he noticed there was another girl with her. "Who is she?" Jareth asked himself, he was pretty positive that the other girl had never set foot in his kingdom before. There was something about this girl, she seemed to radiate magic.
While Jareth was confounded by what was going on the song that the girls were performing came to an end. They fell to the ground laughing. "Now that brought back some great memories." Sarah smiled at Vira.
Vira just nodded her head, she was laughing too hard to speak.
"That was great!" Hoggle clapped wildly.
Sarah nodded and laughed, "Thanks Hoggle!"
Jareth was so shocked to see Sarah again that his actions were performed before he could think about it. Coming out of his hiding place, moving as though he were a marionette puppet, he came up to the group.
"Well, well, what do we have here?"
All three of them jumped at the sound of the new voice. Sarah gulped, Vira smiled at her and thought to her, "No worries, remember? I promised, no matter what I would have your back." Sarah nodded and stood up, "A friendly reunion between friends," Sarah smiled trying to stay strong. Vira got up and stood right by her side.
Jareth's gaze went to the girl standing beside Sarah. Seeing her up close verified that he had never seen her before and he was intrigued. "Really, Sarah, I thought you would have put all old feelings aside. I could have sworn we ended our relationship on a good note."
"WE did, but that doesn't mean I am going to go weak at the knees at the sight of you."
"Well if we are no longer enemies then why are your defenses so strong?" Jareth smiled one of his wicked wolf like smiles and looked at Vira. "Welcome to my kingdom, my dear. I am Jareth the Goblin King, and who might you be?"
"Dang, gotta give him credit for one thing Sarah, he is fine..." Vira sent this message mentally to Sarah so Jareth couldn't hear her. That was one thing about Vira she was a telepath, and it was so much easier for her to send messages than to talk that she ended up doing it most of the time.
Sarah nodded, "Yeah, I remember." she thought.
Vira then spoke up, "I am El Vira Marie Cromwell, but most call me Vira or Vi." She carefully watched him.
"Charmed to meet you, my dear," slowly he reached for her hand and kissed her knuckles. Dropping her hand he looked at Sarah, "Were you ever going to stop in at the castle? I'm sure you will need a place to stay, if Hogwart doesn't mind taking you there I'm sure we can arrange a place for both of you and also dinner." Jareth turned his attention to Hoggle. "You don't mind do you Hogwart?"
"Its Hoggle, and not at all." Hoggle looked nervous, Vira had to hold back a chuckle. Sarah had been right when she described how it was with Hoggle and Jareth.
"Good," Jareth grinned, "You should bring them up in about an hour." Then he turned and went back to the castle.
Sarah let out a sigh of relief. "Man, it's a good thing Jareth never met Gibbs, I mean if he did and Gibbs told Jareth his tricks on keeping his underlings in line poor Hoggle would have a headache ever other day from the smacks to the back of the head." She laughed and Vira joined her.
"So true!" Vira only laughed harder.
Hoggle looked terrified. "Don't give him any ideas."
Meanwhile Jareth was hit by a wave of emotions when he got back to the castle. He knew that he still had feelings for Sarah. There was only one problem that he had to face and that was the fact that Sarah was back. He remembered the night that she had broken his heart.
"Give me the child."
"Sarah, beware I have been generous up until now, I can be cruel."
"Generous? What have you done that's generous?"
"EVERYTHING! Everything that you wanted I have done. You asked that the child be taken, I took him. You cowered before me, I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you. I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?"
"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City, for my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom is as great. "
"I ask for so little just let me rule you and you can have whatever you want. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."
"You have no power over me!"
In those six little words his world became nothing more than a memory. He never fully healed from that night, yet here Sarah was back in his life acting as though nothing had happened. He didn't know how he was going to handle the thought of her leaving him yet again.
There was also the mystery of her friend Vira; she seemed to have something about her. He couldn't put a finger on it but he knew that she was different.
