CHAPTER FOUR

Sarah could feel the warmth of the sun shining down on her face. She turned onto her back to gaze at her dome top ceiling. "Another day in the castle."

"Perhaps we can be of assistance, my lady?"

"Yeah, we can help."

"Sawah, friend."

Sarah shot up in be looking at three long seen, but not forgotten, faces of her friends. "Oh my god she whispered as she climbed from the bed. Her white night gown flowed around her as she ran towards and embraced each one. "Sir Didymus!" She hugged the small dog-like goblin. Next she moved to the giant red furry goblin, "Oh, Ludo." Finally she knelt in front of the first friend she made her in the Labyrinth. A short goblin, with a rather large nose. She hugged him fiercely, "I've missed you, Hoggle."

Hoggle hugged his long ago friend, extremely happy to see her. "I've missed you too, Sarah."

Sarah stood and looked at all of them. "What are you guys doing here? How did you find me?"

"Jaweth." Ludo replied.

Sir Didymus nodded. "Yes, it was his Majesty."

Hoggle snorted, "Stinking fairy goblins."

Sarah shook her head, "Wait are you telling me that, Jareth, brought you here?" They all nodded. "But why-"

"His Majesty said that you needed dome friends. So he sent for us, my lady." Sir Didymus explained.

"Sawah Ludo's friend."

Sarah spent all day in her room talking to her old friends. Hoggle was in charge of all the gardens throughout the Labyrinth. Sir Didymus, had refused to do anything except guard the bridge over the Bog of Eternal Stench with his noble stead Ambrosius. Ludo lived with The Fireys in the Firey Forest, guarding the knocker doors for any possible intruders. It wasn't long before a small goblin knocked on her door.

"His Majesty request your presence at dinner, since you have missed breakfast and lunch." The goblin said.

Sarah nodded. "I have to wash up, but I shall be down shortly." The goblin bowed before closing the doors. Sarah looked at her friends noticing how they were no longer completely solid in front of her, but were transparent. Saddened by the idea of once again being left alone. She smiled sadly. "Thank you for coming."

"Should you need us?" Sir Didymus asked.

"Yeah, should you need us?" Hoggle asked.

Sarah smiled at the familiar scene. "I'll call for you."

"Bye, Sawah."

Once they were completely gone, Sarah stood up and entered the wash room. Several buckets lined the walls with steamy water. Sarah used the first three to wash her hair, allowing the water to run into the hole in the middle of the floor. The fourth bucket she rinsed her body before sponge bathing herself. The last five buckets Sarah poured over her body, cleaning it from the dirt and soap. She went to the window sill where three stack of white towels rested. Picking out two, she wrapped the first one in her hair, and the second around her body.

Walking out of the wash room, she entered the closet. When she was looking for a night gown the night before she inspected all of the outfits within her wardrobe. She refused to touch the white ball gown from here previous journey here. Instead she choose a navy gown with gold embroidering around the square neckline, the edges of the sleeves, and the bottom trim. The sleeves were her favorite, like the top half of the dress, the sleeve fit her like a second skin. Than like at the hips, at the elbows they fanned out falling all the way to the floor. After sliding the dress over her head, she clasped a long gold lank chain around her hips allowing the excess to hang to her side.

She walked to a mirror hanging near the washroom wall. Her outfit reminded her of a medieval gown. Perhaps her hair should look the same. Grabbing her hair on one side of the part, she began twisting her hair closest to her face. She repeated the task on the other side. Once she finished she pulled both twisted strands behind her head and twisted them together. She tied a knot at the end, holding the strands in place. After admiring the way she looked, Sarah made her way to the dining hall.

When she entered the hall, she saw Jareth leaning against a pillar gazing out at the setting sun in the distant horizon. Sarah allowed her eyes to roam over his body, obviously loving what she was seeing. He wore his black boots that went up to his knees with tight dark grey breeches. A black belt held his tucked in white ruffled shirt, in place. His blonde hair was like he always wore it, spiked on top and longer on the bottom.

He must have sensed her for her turned around and smiled at her. "Thank you for coming." Sarah simply nodded. Jareth waved towards the table. "Please have a seat."

'Why is he being so nice to me?'

Jareth held her chair for her to sit, gently pushing it in as she did. He took the seat opposite her, pouring the crimson colored wine. With a wave of his hand the empty plates in front of them suddenly became full. Sliced ham, green beans, diced potatoes, and corn.

They ate in silence until they were finished, Jareth waved his hand again making everything disappear. Sarah took a sip of her wine. She was so nervous that she never realized she was on her fifth glass.

"I'd like to thank you." She said breaking the now awkward silence. When all Jareth did was raise an eyebrow she continued. "For allowing my friends to visit. That was kind of you."

His reply was an unexpected question. "Would you like to dance?"

"I'd love to." She stated.

Jareth arose from his chair and walked around the table. Once she placed her hand into one of his out stretched one. He walked her to the center of the giant room and began spinning her. Suddenly, Sarah heard the faint sound of a long ago song.

There's such a sad love

Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel

Open and closed within your eyes

I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart

Beating so fast in search of new dreams

A love that will last within your heart

I'll place the moon within your heart

As the music continued, Jareth twirled her around faster, pulling her tightly against him.

As the pain sweeps through

Makes no sense for you

Every thrill has gone

Wasn't too much fun at all

But I'll be there for you-oo-oo

As the world falls down

His eyes were intoxicating. The mismatched blue and green. It felt as if she was no longer dancing, but floating. Pressed so close to him there was only one thing she really wanted to do.

Falling

(As the world) Falling down

Falling in love

She leaned in closer, wrapping her right hand around the back of his head, she pulled him towards her parted lips.

I'll paint you mornings of gold

I'll spin you Valentine evenings

Though we're strangers till now

We're choosing the path between the stars

I'll leave my love between the stars

The song stopped the moment their lips met. Jareth quickly deepened the kiss. A kiss he had wanted ever since he laid eyes on the young beauty. He continued kissing her, backing her against the nearest wall, and pressed his body into her. A soft whimper sounded in the back of her throat. Jareth rocked his hips against hers, grinding his painful arousal into her spot of yearning.

"Come to my room." Jareth whispered as he trailed kisses along her jaw line to her ear.

Sarah gently pushed him away from her, "I can't." She whispered placing her hand over her mouth as her eyes began to tear. "I can't." She quickly turned and fled the room.

Jareth watched her leave with her tears, 'What have I done?'
