AN: Ok, for those of you that actually LIKE my story. Here is the next part. Sorry to keep you waiting but my muse comes and goes. I think about this stuff usually at night. Rating is still PG-13 for swearing. Ok here we go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jareth lounged on his throne as a goblins ran amuck at his feet. He was NOT happy. He conjured a crystal, trying to see where his brother had taken me.
"Leanness, of course. How can I be so damn stupid? My magic doesn't work there!" he muttered, throwing the crystal into the middle of the crowd of goblins, hitting a chicken. Smirking briefly, he summoned another one, this one was white in color. He flung it into the air and spoke, "Draconis!" he said.
"Ah Jareth! To what do I owe this pleasure?" another voice said.
"This is not a social call. I need your help friend." he replied.
"Yes, of course."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat there staring at Jeremy, "I couldn't kill anyone, even if I wanted to, and I don't! Besides, you CAN'T make me do ANYTHING!" I spat as I finally got to my feet and walked across the floor to stare out the window.
I gasped. It was beautiful! Looking below there was a huge courtyard with a fountain in the middle. Upon closer inspection, it was made of, "CRYSTAL?" I found my voice. Flowers I had never seen before surrounded the courtyard.
Jeremy smirked as he laid a crystal on the bed. "This is for you to change. All you have to do is think about what you want to wear. I'll go have something to eat made for you. Afterwards you can go to the gardens if you wish. I am not all THAT cruel, to keep a pretty young thing locked up."
"No just holding them against there will, threatening to kill them. Stop me when I get warm." I cocked an eyebrow at him, and then glanced at the crystal ball on the bed.
All of a sudden the ball vanished to reveal a long white dress. It had long sleeves and had gold and silver silk woven into the whole thing.
"Well now, we DO have an imagination after all." Jeremy's eyes went wide as he started for the door.
I gaped at the dress, "Ack! It's just like the one in my dream!" I stammered, walking over to it, touching it, oh it was real alright.
"Dream? Oh do tell!" he said excitedly like a school girl on a sleep over, wanting to here the newest gossip.
"Well, it starts off I am in this dress, at least I think it's me. I am in this huge building. I have other ladies doing my hair and makeup and then I burst out of the doors. Everyone I have ever known my whole life is there in that building. All staring at me as I run out. Looks like I am always searching for something. Finally, I reach this room and open the doors. I see this huge furnace and this red demon with wings standing there calling to me, and I go to him and then wake up!" I said close to tears.
Before I knew it his arms were around me, I finally came to my senses, "Hey! That was NOT an invitation!"
He stepped away, "My such an imagination. Such a sad life, always searching Dawn?" he frowned and vanished.
I blinked as he vanished, "How....bah it doesn't matter. I'll never get out of here.
"How the hell did she have that dream!?" Jeremy cursed as he strode down the hall, kicking goblins left and right.
Then it hit him, "Oh dear brother. I see you've had your eyes on her for quite sometime haven't you? I must say this dream you have sent her is not to my liking. I WILL make her mine. Make NO mistake about that!" he snarled.
I dressed quickly. It fit me perfectly, I couldn't believe it! I stood before the vanity, I looked just like I did in my dream. A knock on the door startled me out of my daze.
"Yes?" I called out as the door opened, to reveal a small goblin woman holding a tray.
"M' master saids ya be hungry miss. Here you go." she said putting it on the table.
"Thank you." I smiled as she left.
I eyed the plate. It was full of fruit, cooked vegetables and what appeared some kind of meat. I skipped the meat altogether, not much of a meat eater. Off to the side of the tray was a pitcher, I poured myself a glass of what was in it. It was a purple color.
"Wine, it's wine?" I said as I took a drink. Oh it was so good.
'What are you doing? Your ACTUALLY eating this stuff? What if it's poisoned?' my mind shouted.
"Bah! He needs me to kill Jareth! You actually think he would poison me?"
I shuddered at the thought. I then grabbed the gold goblet. Looking around I noticed there was no silver in the entire room.
"Not much for decorating is he?" I mused, grabbing a thing of grapes and a peach.
I then tried the door. To my surprise it wasn't locked. Going down the only hall I could I immediately found 2 French doors that led out into the gardens.
Starting to feel a little tipsy from the wine I giggled as I pushed them open and ran out. It was warm. My bare feet was on the cobblestones of the courtyard. I finished off my wine and sat the glass down by a bench.
"I've never seen something like this in all my life!" I exclaimed, taking a bite of the peach.
A flittering thing caught my eye, "What in the world?"
"OH! It's a butterfly!" Upon closer inspection this butterfly had a body of a human girl. She was dressed in a long black silk dress that stopped at her feet.
"Hello." it smiled.
"You can talk?" I stammered.
"Of course I can." it said back.
"Cool are you really a butterfly?" I asked.
It flew over and landed on the stones a black light flashed and she was my height! Wings and all.
"Yes. What about you? Are you really a human?" she asked in surprise.
"Last time I checked." I laughed.
"You must be Dawn. I am Sylvanni."
I nodded, "How do you know me?"
"Oh the whole underground is talking about you! You've come to break the spell and free us!"
"I beg your pardon?" I gaped at her.
"You know? The one Lord Jeremy......
"ENOUGH!" A voice echoed, silencing the poor frightened creature.
"M'lord!" Sylvanni gasped and flew off.
"What the hell?" I spun but no one was there.
AN: MWHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA! Ok people this story is going to take a turn for the worst, kinda. Sorry to disappoint you but Jareth is NOT like he is in the movie! Let me just put it that way. For those of you that are still going to read after this little revelation I thank you. No I am NOT a Jareth hater. I have just seen too many fics where the 'brother' is ALWAYS a BAD guy. I say be original! Switch the tables! Do the unexpected! Do the DEW!!!! Sorry wayyyyy too much caffeine.
