Jareth stared into his crystal ball, not really seeing it, for he was too deep in thought. The image it held, was of the new girl having a go at the Labyrinth. Her name was Christine Farmer, though many people just called her Chris. Twenty-one years old, going to college at Princeton, and carried a part time job at a cafe down the street where she lived. Just a normal girl. Her hair was gold, and her eyes were a bright green, and her lips pale. She was indeed beautiful, but for some reason it didn't quite impress the Goblin King, though I would be lying if I said she had not caught his eye at first and intrigued him, for that was usually how he chose his victims. However, like all that had come after Sarah, this was just a short infatuation with his victims. He found he became quite bored of this as well. He could not help him self. Sure these girls he would find would be absolutely beautiful, Sarah had a different beauty that attracted him.
He found that her beauty was so hard to justify. She was beautiful, but there was more than that. She was utterly adorable. Especially when she threw her little fits. "That's not fair!" was her famous catch phrase and Jareth chuckled a bit when he remembered it. But it wasn't just that either. It was her fire. Her darn stubbornness. Her will, and her strength, and as I said before, her fire. The will, and strength and even her stubbornness that lit her up and burned inside her as she made her way through the Labyrinth, never giving up, and she was the only one to. She was beautiful in every way. And when she was thinking, trying to figure out her next move. When she would bite her lip or look off in the distance, a hand covering her mouth, and her eyes lost in thought.
'Oh come one Jareth. Get a hold of your self. It's been years! You have a new victim. Let's focus on her first. Why do so many girl want a ballroom scene?" he thought to himself. Not every one wanted it, some wanting something like a blue sky and fields of golden brown, and some wanted to be on the shoulders of their team mates, winning some cup for some sport. But this damsel, like Sarah, also would prefer the Ball Room scene. Whatever the lady prefers.
Through his crystal ball, he saw a certain Ludo scared half to death, as Chris screamed once laying eyes upon him. She took off in the complete opposite direction, running into a Goblin soldier and knocking him over. She took one look at him and with out an epilogue, took off once more. She had forgotten about her little 6 year old sister and her friend for a second, and ran as fast as she could. The floor gave way from under her, and she fell down, landing hard on her back. Tears filled her eyes and she couldn't see much that was around her. The room was to dark, and she sat up, curled up in a ball, and sobbing in the little light that shown in the room.
"I wish I was home." she cried, though barely a whisper. Even so, Jareth heard the wish and made her request, and before she new it, she was wrapped up under her covers, fast asleep. Getting up, Jareth made his way past the goblins, and stopped infront of Mia and Alex. Alex being the younger sister, and Mia being the friend of hers. Both only six. They looked up from their stuffed troll dolls the girls and the goblins were playing with and smiled at The Goblin King. Jareth's heart tugged a little, and since they were old enough to remember their family, they would be heart broken about the news.
"Goblin King! Tell Mia we are going to get married when I get older, and live happily ever after cause I'm a prettier princess then she is!" said Alex.
"No you're not! You're just a dummy head!" Mia snapped back.
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Girls, girls. This is not how princess's act." stated Jareth. The goblins who were playing dolls with them, had dropped the dolls they were playing with and scooted back away from the fighting little girls.
"Look, you both are beautiful little girls, and you two are best friends. You're not going to let a silly boy get in the way of your friend ship right?"
The girls looked at each other and gave each other a hug.
"I'm sorry!" they both cried together. Whoa. They really were alike. Once of the reason why Chris wanted both of them gone.
"Good job girls." said Jareth with a smile.
"You're a bad guy Goblin King!" yelled Alex.
"What?! Where did that come from. I just brought you two back together! You should be grateful!"
"But it was you who broke us up in the first place." explained Mia.
"Yeah. It's all your fault." Alex yelled at the Goblin King.
"What?! That is absurd! It's just utterly absurd!" Jareth was at a loss. What was going on?
"What is wrong with bloody women." he whispered under his breath, glaring at the wall across from them.
"What did you say Goblin King!" asked Alex in a load voice.
"Yeah Goblin King. That wasn't very nice." Mia fallowed up.
Jareth stuck his nose in the air at them and turned around. 'Dames! I swear.'he thought as he walked off.
