AN: So i didn't get very many reviews on the last chapter. And that was the reason it took so long to put up another chapter. i wasn't motivated enough. but i decided, finally, that if i wanted more reviews, i should put up a new chapter. I'm just hoping i get more reviews from this chapter.
Chapter 3
Jereth threw the crystal ball at the wall shattering it to dust. He'd been watching Sarah intently. He'd learned that she was suffering some sort of amnesia. It made her forget everything she once knew. Well he had to somehow make her remember and soon. So, in waiting for her to fall sleep, he came up with a plan. He'd show her something she'd remember from her visits last, the ballroom scene where his own heart had begun to fall for her. Seeing her in such an elegant dress, looking so beautiful, he couldn't help but fall for her right then and there.
It was that dance that made him offer her her final option. To stay with him and be his love, and in return, he'd love her as well. But when she refused him, his heart had shattered like one of his crystals against a wall.
It had hurt to be there again, seeing her more mature and filling her dress a lot better then she uses to. She was a woman now, and he couldn't ignore that any longer. But could he, the goblin king, bow to a human female and confess all giving in so readily.
No! He was a king after all. And there were some things he mustn't do. Giving into a human was on top of that list. He'd have to find another way to make her remember. If only he could go aboveground willingly. But no, he had to be wished to come to go to that world. He was allowed to travel there in his owl form, but what good would it do when he couldn't be in his normal form. The humans wouldn't even allow an owl near her.
He sighed and flopped back down onto his throne. He'd had the goblins clear the room before he started his plan. He didn't want any distractions as he tried to persuade her to remember. Now he sat alone, looking out one of the windows at his decaying land. The forgetting, as the goblins came to call it, had gotten to the hedge maze. To look out and see his land simply ending, it was disheartening.
But there was something else happening in his lands. Something the goblins couldn't see because he never allowed them there. The heart of the labyrinth, his heart, where his magic and the labyrinths became one, was in turmoil as well.
That goblin, Hubble or something, had been right about one thing. Once she reached the heart of the labyrinth, she'd never get out again. She'd entered his heart, and he could not tear her out. After she'd destroyed it by her refusal, the room had fallen to pieces like his heart. Just as he pulled the pieces of his own heart together, the room had reformed. But it was unwalkable. The staircases and doorways led to gaps or nothing at all.
Now the room was half broken, half fixed. He knew his heart was falling apart again but he was almost hopeful too. Maybe he could start anew with her. Maybe if she'd enter the room once again, she'd never want to leave.
Jereth slammed his fist against his chair. No, he'd shut the door to his heart and keep it locked up. No one would see his turmoil. He was only going to make her remember so he could have his land back.
Jereth stood from his chair and walked slowly along the hallways of his castle. No goblin would dare to bother him as he thought. And he really needed to think. Now, actually figuring out how to help her was something else. How did these humans cure amnesia? The doctor said time would tell, but that was something he didn't have. If only he could bring her back to the labyrinth. He'd show her it was real. He'd show her what she'd forgotten. And he'd save his lands. And he knew just what to do. Just as he did with the ballroom dream, he'd bring her to the labyrinth in her dreams. A loop hole he was glad to use. Now all he had to do was wait for her to sleep again.
