Such a Sad Love (3)
Chapter 3 Magic Dance
While Sarah spent thirteen hours running the Labyrinth, Natalie was visiting old friends. First she spent some time with the blue worm and his wife. They had a nice cup of tea, he was married to a sprite. She was really pretty with light pink skin, moss green hair, and neon blue eyes. They had tea, chatted for a bit, then Natalie moved on to the Firies swamp, where she played a round or two of Chilly Down, the game where they threw heads. She didn't throw her own head of course, which made it all that more important that she won.
Sadly Sir Diddymus wasn't at the Bog of Eternal Stench, so Natalie took the key from our of the box in her bag and opened a Portal Door. It would take her wherever in the Labyrinth she wanted. Having the Throne Room in mind, Natalie stepped through the shimmering light and onto a stone floor.
It was worse than when she left.
Goblins were everywhere, drinking, laughing, shouting, picking on poor chickens. And sitting in the throne with Toby in his arms was Jareth.
He was in his poets shirt, tight fitting black vest, even tighter grey pants. But for once his gloves were off. He was tickling Toby and laughing with the baby. Once the goblins noticed Natalie, however, they all stopped and stared at her, not making a sound. Noticing the silence, Jareth looked up and his eyes were wide in shock.
"Jareth." Natalie spat, glaring at him. "Give me the baby."
"What? Natalie is that all you have to say to me?" Jareth sat up, Toby saw his mother and reached for her. He was hungry after all.
"Don't pull that crap. Give me the baby."
"No. Why do you want him? Why are you here?"
"I want my baby Jareth. Send Sarah home, and give me the baby."
Jareth wasn't angry, and his eyes showed his sadness. She had left him, but moved on? Had a family without him? Loved someone else? Gave herself to someone else.
"Why did Sarah wish the child away then?" Jareth asked quietly, bouncing the child lightly.
"I went home after I left. She's my sister. How else would she know the story?" Rhetorical question.
"Well, she did wish him away. And I have the right to keep him here, no matter whose child he is, until Sarah either completes the Labyrinth or fails. Until then, you're welcome to stay. In fact, I don't think I'll allow you to leave until the thirteen hours are up." Jareth smirked.
Natalie sighed. "Can I at least go feed the baby at least? I don't think goblin food would agree with him."
"Alright, let's go." Jareth started walking towards Natalie, and once he was close enough, dropped a crystal at their feet, and they were transported into his bedroom. Once their bedroom.
A.N: I know its short, but this is just some filler. Coming up next is why Natalie left, will Jareth find out who Toby's father is? Is Hoggle the Prince of the Land of Stench? Where's Sarah and does Jareth love her like the story says? Will Jareth watch Natalie feed the baby like a little pervert? Does he in fact stuff his pants? Find out.
