Chapter 3: Charmed
Sarah had been indulged by this warm and delightful bath. She had which for a sponge, and began washing herself. When she was finished, she stepped out of the bath, on to a soft terrycloth towel, that she had placed by the bath before entering it. She was dripping, utterly soaking wet. Her dark brown hair dangled A little past her tail bone. Little beads of water dribbled down her buttocks and tickled as they rained down her legs. " I wish I were dry and my satin robe were wrapped around me." Suddenly she was dry, and around her was the satin robe that hung on the hook.
She was warm, and quite aroused by the feel of satin softly clinging to her body. The water in the bath had drained itself, and everything appeared neat as if it were never used. She made her way to her room, quite surprised to find a small goblin standing by the door.
"Hello Lady Sarah, I am here to fix you up for the king, for tonight's dinner. I am also you maid, and I will also take down your measurements, so I can have Deyie make your dresses."
Sarah's' lips were slightly parted in surprise as well as her arched brows, as she took mental notes to remember everything the goblin maid had said. But something appeared strange, ' She never gave me her own name' she thought to herself, making her way to a large dresser with a chair seated in front of it, and a large mirror positioned on top.
" What is your name?" Sarah asked her face slightly lit with emotion, a small smile placed upon her lips.
"Oh my, my name is Annaya but please call me Ana." The goblin maid was short, about 3 and half feet tall, maybe more. She had human like eyes that were brown, blue mop like hair, a bit chunky, but a shy and sweet disposition.
Sarah's gait was slow, moving forward as Ana gestured her to stand near her so she cool take her measurements.
Ana pulled a long ribbon like measuring tool from her pocked. And started the measurements', first the neck, than the back/bust area, then the stomach area, than the waist, and then she measured Sarah's foot size and leg length. A simile curled on Ana's lips as she was satisfied with the measurements.
Sarah wished to be wearing a black velveteen corset, along with matching underwear. Her wish instantly took shape under the robe and against her soft warm, creamy skin.
" Come and sit Milady, I need to fix your hair, and I am to give you a necklace the king ordered me to put it on your neck, and warned me to tell you to never take it off" Shed grinned a sharp toothy smile at Sarah while making, a hand gesture for her to sit.
Sarah swallowed hard, and thinned out her lips as she leaped in to the chair, facing the mirror. "What am I to wear?" she asked politely in truth, but her anxiety kicked up. The goblin maid spoke up, while running thick finger in to Sarah's hair, and a brush, pulling it in to a braided bun. "Til Deyie makes you dresses, shoes, and garments of all sorts, you are to wear what you wish" Sarah felt a thunderstorm brewing in her head and knew it would be a strong head ache. "Lady Sarah, here is the kings gift" Ana said while pulling the amulet around her neck, and fastening it in to position.
Sarah gulped, and her facial expressions lit up "This is the exact same pendant he has!" she exclaimed jovially, resting her hands on it, almost in disbelief.
Jareth Had been ready and he had sent servant with order to have a table set for two, with a white silk cloth, and a candelabra in the middle. He strode back and forth restlessly as he imagined how Sarah's reaction to the pendant would be. He smiled in a wicked way, is eyes a wall of ice with no emotion evident. He had been dressed in Black breeches, knee high black boot, a white poet shirt, tucked in firmly in to his breeches, exposing hi sternum, and his corded pectoral muscles. His amulet hung in the center. He had on a jacket that was black and made of silk, but also cotton to make it more firm. It resembled a tuxedo, having two tails on the back. "Hmm...Err" He grumbled a bit. Boredom swept him in to playing with a crystal ball, rolling it back and forth, like it was a skill
Sarah's hair had been finished, adorned with a silver leaf on one side, and a golden on the other. She had wished she had been wearing a black slinky, tight conforming dress, which exposed a bit of cleavage and her back. It was a halter top. It had gone to her knees. She had also wished for a pair of knee high boots that laced up, and were feminine. They were also black, with golden lacing. Her makeup was done with dark pencil eyeliner, and her lashes with glittery black mascara. Her eye shadow was dark green to make her eyes stand out. Her perfume smelled of a fresh garden, with spice and lust. Her lipstick was a simple tone darker, but glossy. She was ready.
"Well lady Sarah, you look beautiful, enjoy your dinner, I'll walk you as far as the dining room doors, alright?" Ana looking at Sarah and awaiting her answer, she also wished she was as beautiful. Sarah gave a firm nod, not trusting her voice, and started striding forward, her gait was graceful and proud.
"Well, I guess this is where I go in" She said, facing Anya. The double doors were made of mahogany wood, strong and thick, the surrounding walls were cobble or stone and glittered. Anya nodded and started to walk away, but Sarah grabbed her arm, and bent down to give her a warm hug of thanks. "Thank you Ana" she whispered, and Ana nodded again and strode away.
'So here I am, finally the night has begun' she though while giving a long sigh of relief. She pushed open the doors and froze; he was heaven and hell, so beautiful, so handsome... Yet this was heaven. He froze as well admiring her beauty, and the fact that she wore his pendant.
'How you turn my world, you precious thing'
A/N: Well, a longer chapter, but I could have done more. It's a bit of a cliffhanger. I want more reviews. I have a bad left arm so I only type using one hand, and it is hard. R&R and R&R my other stories I'm beginning. I need more encouragement to continue, and a beta or any ideas. Pllllleeeeze!
