Jareth's scowl grew. Sarah had become dependent on her mother's story and it annoyed him to no end. Wasn't she supposed to be a strong person? It seemed like she was just another selfish human, same as any other.
Her mother thought that Sarah would grow up to be strong. Hoped, prayed, died for this idea that Sarah would be strong. Instead, Sarah can't even handle one little night of babysitting. Ridiculous.
Jareth fought back the urge to go and slap the girl until she was sorry that she was so selfish. That'd teach her. He watched as her father knocked on her door gently. That man didn't know how to punish a child, Jareth thought angrily. Instead he obliged her every whim. Jareth leaned back, staring blankly at the scene before him. And she loved him so desperately.
The man walked away from Sarah's door, going downstairs to his new wife. Jareth's mind continued to spin. What if he indulged her whims as well? Would she love him? Would he not be rejected by her? What if he could change the ending of her mother's book? Jareth pushed himself away from the branch, flying to his castle. He needed to instruct the goblins to watch her carefully tonight.
When she asked him, the Goblin King, using the words her mother wrote, he would obey her every whim. If she obeyed him, he would be her slave.
