I crept around the corner of the darkened hallway, left hand brushing the cool stone to keep from running into the wall. I could not see the wall, although I normally have perfect night vision this could only mean one thing; magic. Seeing a pair of big yellow eyes begin to come toward me, I froze, my heart beating rapidly, until they passed, I could not afford being discovered in the hallway that goes only to the king's bedchambers!
The patrolling creature with the lantern eyes again swept its gaze across my invisible body. One could only look so close as to see one that bled into the shadows. I ran a hand through my damp strawberry hair and quietly exhaled.
As I did, a plot began to form in my mind; clouding all important thoughts of the situation. The idea sprouted leaving little sprouts in place of the seeds; it was coming together, my plot to break two hearts. I still needed to convince the girl that he was unmannered and rude and impossible to live with, forever this thought bringing back a painful memory of a song he once sang to her "It's only forever, not long at all." I growled low in my throat, she would be mine! That crown stealer would not have her!
A loud shout from somewhere near me brought me back from those thoughts "Hey, this guy isn't a goblin! Gets hims!" the goblins lunged for the shadowy figure as one.
I stumbled in shock, and using this moment's hesitation, they grasped my ankles. The goblin's numbers seemed to be multiplying as the seconds passed until the goblins covered every square inch of my prone body.
Lying face-down on the cold floor covered by goblins made me nervous, they would take me to the king and then I'd be dead for sure! The thought to struggle barely crossed my mind before the tiny creatures had bindings on my wrists and feet. I sighed in dismay "How stupid can you be Daimon?" I asked myself harshly.
The goblin that seemed to be the leader shifted his weight for a moment as I watched him, still on the floor. He seemed to come to a decision and he called for him. "OH KINGY!" The goblin crowed in squeaky, rough voice "We gots a man for you!"
Almost immediately the room of goblins was engulfed in loads of glitter and the scent of the king's magic assaulted my nose. My heart skipped a beat as the glitter died down and I discovered I was still on the floor, only I was back in the king's bedroom. The king was awake and sat on the edge of his bed, looking rather displeased at the prospect of a captive.
I stood with much difficulty with my bound limbs and all. "Well it's been a long time, Goblin King." The picturesque figure just remained still on the bed looking at me with hatred. I chuckled arrogantly "What's wrong Jareth do you not know who I am?"
His head whipped around with the mention of his name, I smiled revealing mortal teeth. "Do not patronize me prisoner." He said venom evident in his tone. "I will be referred to as "Your majesty, or your highness" to you"
I glared at him for a moment "Of course your highnesty" I said smirking at what I had implied. The king glared at me for another moment before I continued "Why so grumpy Goblin king? Is it because I woke you from your little nap?" I said sarcasm dripping off of every word.
I pouted "Well then I guess you haven't a clue as to who I am." The king looked sharply at me "You're getting slower brother."
AN: I'd just like to remind you to guess as to who this one is! I introduced him earlier in the story and this is the only chapter he's had to himself! So guess! I hoped you enjoyed and now; REVIEW!
