Okay, so I was in Chicago for about 4 weeks, and this is like the first day of non-antsy rest I have, so I'm very sorry to keep ya'll waiting. I've decided to skip the week of Sarah being locked up, but if you wish me to go back and write it I shall.
And a BIG thanks to all of my reviewers, and a bigger thanks to those who review every chapter. So; LabryinthMistress, draculasbride2008, Anij, and Nida, thank you, you people make my writing worth while.
Now without further ado, I give you my 5th chapter.
Chapter Five
Attempt at murder
Sarah awoke to the Goblin King looming over her, "AHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK!"
Jareth smiled evilly, as she turned on her side, trying to ignore the Goblin King, and go back to sleep. "It's been a week, dearest."
That woke Sarah up, "It has! Thank God!" Sarah squeaked and rolled off her bed. "Ouch, and you better not be joking." Sarah stood and pointed at Jareth, who now took her spot on the bed.
"Why, did you miss me love?" Jareth said picking his head up at looking at her.
"What? No- oh my god you're not wearing tights!" Sarah exclaimed noticing, that he was wearing some black… jazz pant (for guys) instead of his usual tights. (A/N I don't care what they are, they're tights)
"Yes, I'm not, I fine them getting a little… restraining around you." He said sitting up. "And you're wearing practically nothing." Jareth said, taking in the image of Sarah only wearing an oversized shirt (with underwear).
Sarah looked down, then back at Jareth who was gazing at her. "Stop looking at me like that!"
"Like what?"
"Like you've seen me naked!" Sarah stomped her foot.
"Umm…. Love…. I have..." Jareth said talking slowly, as if talking to a child.
"Dammit that's not the point! And stop calling me 'Love', I'm not you're 'love'!" She shouted.
"Nonsense, yes you are, and one day, you'll call me that too." Jareth spoke while sitting up.
"Right, sure, whatever; so did you just wake me up for no reason, or?" Sarah stood looking at him with a questioning look.
"Well as much fun it is to see you in… that... I did come with a purpose." Jareth stood and held out a gloved hand, "To breakfast my lady?"
"Like this!" Sarah made a big arm gesture to help prove her point.
"Want to look good for me?" Jareth smiled. Sarah rolled her eyes and took his hand. (Like the style in Phantom of the Opera) Once she took a hold of his hand Jareth poofed them to the Dining area.
Jareth pulled a chair out for Sarah, she sat in it, and Jareth took the chair next to hers. "So, this is you're first day out of your room, would you like to do anything special today?"
"Are you actually being nice?" Jareth nodded. "Then yes, I want you to show me around your castle… and its grounds."
"As you wish, after dinner I'll give you five minutes to get dressed." Sarah nodded, and then looked down to discover food.
They ate in silence. Sarah was to busy scarfing down food, and Jareth was eating and staring at her.

There was a knock at the door, so he actually knows how to knock. Sarah walked to the door, and opened it. "Allo" There was a strange man at the door.
"Wh-who are you?" Sarah backed into her room.
"Why, just a friend." He said evilly, while walking close to her.
"Jareth!" Sarah screamed.
"Calling your lover boy?" His smile got bigger, as he pulled out a knife. Sarah backed into the wall. Right before he got three feet away from her, he dropped. Sarah screamed as the upper part of his torso fell on her. She shoved it off of her, and ran to Jareth.
Jareth held her tight next to him, rubbing her back. "Who was that?" She said after she had calmed down.
"That was an old criminal who apparently found his way out of the oubliette. I knew I just should've murdered him in the first place." Jareth looked down at her. "Are you okay?" She nodded. "I would've expected you to fight back, is something wrong?" Sarah looked down. "Sarah?" He took her chin in his hand and made her look up at him.
"You…. You almost took to long……"
"Sarah…is everything alright?" Jareth was worried.
"Can.. can you show me around tomorrow?"
"Sure thing love, but you're not staying here, hold on." Jareth poofed them to his room.
Sarah looked around the room, it was dark. The walls were black, the bed was the biggest bed she'd ever seen. It had a dark wood frame and black covers. Sarah couldn't take much of more of it in, because Jareth spoke. "Sarah tell me why you freaked out." She made an uneasy face. "It's just you and me now Sarah it's okay."
"You say that as if I can trust you." Sarah spat.
"Sarah just tell me, what happened to you."
"Not me, dammit, it was my mom!" Jareth looked at her as if to say 'what?' "My mother, died when I was ten, I saw it all."
Jareth's face softened and he took her into him once again. "Shhhh it's okay" he coaxed "You don't have to tell me anything until you're ready."
Sarah nodded into his chest. "Can I sleep?"
"Yes of course, the bed is right there, feel free it take it." Sarah looked at him. "And don't even think about asking me to leave, because I'm staying right here."
A smile broke free from Sarah's face, and she climbed in the bed. "Oh my god!" she screamed as she laid in it.
"What?" Jareth looked around startled.
"This is the most comfortable bed ever!" Sarah sighed and snuggled into it with closed eyes and a blissful expression.
"You can sleep in my bed anytime love." Jareth snickered.
Sarah opened an eye. "I caught that, and I'm choosing to ignore it because, well you just saved me and I'm not leaving this bed."
"I have no problem with that." Jareth chuckled as he dogged a pillow to his head.
"Leave me alone! Sleep!" Sarah half mumbled, and turned to her side.
Within five minutes she was sound asleep. Jareth walked over to her, lightly grazed her hair while looking at her admiringly (A/N stalker!) . "What happened to you, love?" He asked softly. She made a noise but still remained asleep. He smirked and sat in the chair by the wall.
END
Not to worry the next chapter will be full of Sarah/Jareth fights. (Tis all part of my plan)
Please Review.
