Thank you for the reviews! I know these chapters are fairly short. The next few should be a bit longer.
Sarah took her shower thinking on how later today she would be having lunch with Jareth. He was supposed to be the villain. But the more she thought about the other day the more she thought maybe he too was more than what he seemed to be. As she lathered the shampoo on her long dark hair she pictured his face as he looked out of the window. The emotion that played on his features seemed to be so many things. The more she imaged it the more she saw sadness, pain, and yet something more, something she was at the time afraid to mention. She thought maybe just maybe it was love and a deep longing. She had yet to really and fully know what love was she was still just a girl.
She closed her eyes. She could picture the first moment she laid eyes on him as though it was yesterday. In was night, a stormy night when he appeared. She was taken by him at that moment. How he was elegant and yet frightening. She thought about the few moments they were close together. Every time she felt something more but at fifteen she didn't know what it was. Yet at twenty-two she was only beginning to understand what is was.
As she finished she drifted to her dream she had. She kissed him. How often she had daydreamed about kissing him and doing a bit more. She had built a story in her head, she had built it before they even had met.
She would always fall in love with him in her daydream. He was the perfect gentleman, elegant, strong, and protecting her from harm. He was everything she would ever need in her daydreams. She always wished that her daydreams would come true and now, now he has come again. She was happy with the idea of him but afraid that the realness of him would break her heart.
She made her way back to her room. The sun was shining through her window. It was so beautiful outside. She looked out at the tree. He had sat there as an owl watching her as she partied with her friends after winning the labyrinth at times she would be watching him. She knew oh yes she knew what he wanted to do. Wanted to join and be with her but how could he when he was the villain. She slowly got dressed in jeans and a green spaghetti-strap top with white lace at the bottom.
She tried to picture having lunch with him but couldn't. How easy it was picturing and going back to older times. Sarah thought of the ballroom as she sat at vanity brushing her wet hair. Though she was drugged she remembered his face when he saw her standing there in that elegant sliver moonlight dress. She could feel his arms around her as they danced to that haunting…haunting love song. It was a love song.
If she concentrated harder she could almost hear it, almost hear him singing the song to her like it was meant for her and only her. She could now hear his voice so elegant, so pleading.
A love that could last within your heart
I'll be there for you
I'll leave my love between the stars
Falling in love
Was he really falling in love with her at that moment? It didn't make any sense at all to her. Then right before the end during those last minutes as she ran up and down those stairs he sang to her yet again. His voice was different like in pain, like he was losing…losing her.
He called her precious.
Everything I've done, I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one.
Live without your sunlight
Love without your heartbeat.
"Sarah, get a grip of yourself! You can't just fantasize about him like this!"
And yet she couldn't help it. All she knew was what was in her dreams. She still lived in her dreams. Didn't he once offer her, her dreams?
"We are going to see what Mr. Glittery Pants wants. See if he can even be a friend. This will help you get over him!" She said it to her reflection.
