Love Is Blind

Chapter Four
My body ceased function, my heart stopped and everything shut down. I felt dizzy, everything spun around me and I started to lean over to one side. Jareth held his hand out to steady me but I was having serious brain overload.
"OW," I covered my eyes "crap, I forgot how bright everything is." Jareth laughed as I rubbed my eyes over and over. The smile on my face wouldn't leave, I couldn't change my expression. After a year of dark I could see. "Holy crap," I whispered "oh my god." Jareth was obviously pleased with his work because he was smirking at me. I looked at him and I blinked a few times, I'd forgotten how beautiful he was. He wasn't wearing Underground clothes though, he looked very normal, but either way he was dreadfully handsome.
"Ah yes," he said looking at himself "can't walk around in my normal clothing. Humans get a little… worried." I merely nodded, still in shock. "That WAS why you were gawking, yes?" I nodded, though it was only half a lie. I kept looking around, blinking to be sure I was really awake. "Thank you Jareth," he whispered and I turned around and glared at him. He seemed taken aback, and a little hurt that I'd look at him that way. I smiled, showing that I was kidding and his hurt expression melted. "Your supposed to say that now."
"What?" I looked around and then mustered the most mocking voice I could "thank you Jareth."
"Oh that was lovely," he sighed and rolled his eyes at me. He actually seemed hurt, not just playing hurt but really seriously wounded. He had given me something no one else had, and… damn me for saying it but, I owned him a lot.
"Thank you," I said quietly and he looked up at me "I… I mean," I paused "I just don't know what do say after someone does something like that." He smiled, it was a satisfied smile and how he looked right then was possibly the best thing I'd ever seen. He waved his hand as if he wanted me to go on and I sighed. "Don't get greedy," I smirked.
"Just say it," he smirked.
"Your generous," I muttered "very generous. There, happy?" He grinned and nodded at me.
"I am," he smirked. "So uh, what are you going to tell your family?" I paused, never thought of that.
"I'll just tell them that the guy I wished my brother to showed up at school today and decided he wanted to help me." I sat on one of the benches and he looked at me. "Or plan B which is say I haven't a clue." He nodded and sat besides me. I was skipping school with the goblin king who had just cured my blindness, if today wasn't the strangest day of my life I don't know what is. "If you could wish for anything," I started "what would it be?"
"Doesn't matter," he said "I can have it."
"Ew," I muttered "I'd hate to have to buy you something for Christmas." He looked at me, not understanding. "Brings up that whole, what do you get someone that has everything problem." He scoffed a laugh.
"Same question," he said laying back on the bench. I paused.
"Well," I paused "besides being able to see?" He laughed and nodded. "I don't know. I guess…"
"Is it that hard?" he asked "normally humans have lists."
"I know," I muttered "but, I mean, if it could be anything I wouldn't want it to be something stupid. I wouldn't want my mom and dad to stay together because then I'd never wish Toby away and go through the Labyrinth…"
"Why?" he asked.
"Because," I said in the same questioning tone as him "I learned too much." He nodded. "And, I just wouldn't know what to wish for. I wouldn't want money, or fame or… anything. I don't know."
"What about love?" he asked. I paused a moment.
"I wouldn't want to make someone fall in love with me," I said "I suppose if I had to wish something involving love, I'd wish to find someone that will love me. But never wish for someone TO love me, because that's against freewill." He didn't look up, he seemed fascinated by his shoes. "Did I say something to bother you?" I asked and he looked up "cause your freaking out a little."
"No," he shrugged and went back to looking at his shoes.
"What do you want?" I asked. He looked at me puzzled and then he let out a sad sigh.
"Nothing," he said giving a fake smile "why?" There was a long silence between us and I looked at my feet as did he.
"You know," I said after a while "I don't listen. I'm very rebelling and thick headed and stubborn."
"I know," he breathed.
"I don't always do what people say," I added and he looked at me puzzled. "And you don't scare me. In fact, if anything I'm probably safe around you."
"Uh huh…" he seemed a little puzzled and then it seemed to sink in.
Love me, fear me, do as I say… and I will be your slave
"Sarah," his smile couldn't be concealed though he tried "take the crystal and go to class."
"Who said I wanted the crystal?" I asked "you said that if I let you help me that you'd take it back."
"Take it," he growled placing his forehead on mind and pushing a little so my head rolled against his.
"You are sooo annoying," I breathed keeping my head still leaning on his. He smirked at me, his eyes mocking and jeering at the fact that he was annoying me.
"You know you love it," he smirked and I rolled my eyes "say it and I won't make you take the crystal."
"Your gonna MAKE me?" I mused and hopped off the table as the bell rang. The crystal followed and I growled and stomped my foot on the ground. "I love it when you annoy me," I growled.
"Ahem," he smirked.
"Ahem yourself," I snapped "make it go away." The crystal vanished and so did he, but my whole body tingled and my cheeks flushed. I hated his effects on me. I convinced myself in the next period that it was only that feeling you get when someone saves you from something. That damsel in distress syndrome. I walked home, humming to myself and wondering what I was going to tell Karen and dad. I opened the front door and Karen stood there, tapping her foot impatiently.
Author's Note: Hi guys. Today this is the only thing I'm updating. I'm sorry, I'm kinda sad at the moment, and I need some ME time. Alright? So uh, I'll try updating tomorrow. - This whole moving thing, let's become Amish-like Christians that won't cut their hair or wear make-up or ANYTHING, idea has got me down in the dumps. Sorry… I'm normally happy, but, meh, this will go away in a few days. Anyways, hope you liked the chapter. I'll update tomorrow. -
Theshadowcat: Thank you for both the review and the sympathy. Needed much. Its just, I have my own religion that I've had for about two, three years now and :sighs: if I tell her I'm something besides what she is… she'll disown me on the spot. And I've already had one of my parents do that, I don't need another.
Divine Dark Angel: - thanks. Makes me feel a little better but still… I dislike the moving thing. But on the up side, you know they say all those weird people live in small towns, maybe I'll fit in after all.
Conner: Thanks for the comment love. I didn't realize I was ! And I had to try and get her into the V-day spirit, someone does, right-
And yes, Sarah does have good aim considering she's kinda blind huh:laughs a little:
Chaimera: Yep, your own chapter. :laughs: Irish happiness- Cool.
Conner: why is everyone so hostile if I hit on them? Don't girls know how to say thank you and bat their eyelashes anymore?
Kaori Yamanshi: Sooner than soon. Ok, I shall-
SenchouAri: Well thank you! Your so nice-
Conner: Funny? Well I suppose its better than nothing…
Angelwingz202- Sweet, odd, great… I like how you describe the story, love.
Almost Funny: Thanx -
Kaori Yamanshi: Your so smart. And thank you, I try to be different.
Acantha Mardivey: I don't think they suck (I know a few that are really good) but I happen to be something completely different and if my mother finds out (which she probably will if we move) she'll disown me on the spot. Glad you have your Will back.
Conner: I have a very large request… make her stop being sad! I HATE IT when she's sad! ARGH! I'm so… :growls: frustrated…

Sightlessmuse: Glad you like it! I actually have a friend that did that when he was welding and was blind for twelve years. He's not blind no more though, he got healed. Pretty amazing I think.
Angelwingz202: Of course he can. :sighs: I love Jareth. But sometimes :glares at Goblin King: he ticks me off…
