You- see, I posted a chapter for you! I love you, so much, feel better babe.
Chapter 10
"Sarah?" David nudged her arm, trying to bring her out of her stunned daze.
She simply stood staring at the crystal, trying to wake up from the nightmare that seemed to be occurring once more.
"David you have to go." How can I explain this to him? She thought, finally bring brought back to the situation at hand.
"Sarah.."
"No you have to go. Please."
"Jareth wouldn't take Helena, would he?" He looked between the crystal and Sarah. Her eyes buldged and her jaw dropped
"What did you say?" David looked at her with confusion, trying to understand was was wrong. Then it hit him, he used Jareth's name.
"Nothing."
"You said Jareth. How do you know him? How do you know who Jareth is?" Fright hit him.
what am I supposed to say? He never told me what to tell her if...
"David, answer me!" She was almost to the point of screaming.
"Stop calling me that!" He yelled back at her. He found it ridiculous that someone was yelling at him! No one yelled at him, the new experience only caused his temper to flare.
"Stop calling me David! You know my name!"
Sarah just looked at him, unable to say anything to this situation.
This cannot be real. I have to be dreaming.
"Sarah?"
"You can't be... Peter?"
"What do you mean she refuses?" Jareth turned his face towards the goblin messanger.
"She refuses to leave her room, my lord." Jareth tilted his head, slightly amused.
"Does she realize she is a prisoner here? She has no right to refuse."
"I'm sorry my lord, I only am a messanger."
"Be gone. I will deal with this." He turned to look at Toby, who was happily playing with a furry little creature on the floor. "what sort of friend does your sister keep?"
Toby paid no attention to the Goblin King who spoke to him, but instead he laughed as the creature nipped at his fingers, then ran to the other side of the room.
"Merwy?" The boy looked at the creature, remembering how Sarah's dog would do the same thing.
"You can call it Merwy if you want, he's your pet. You can have anything you want. You're going to be king one day." Sorrow hung in Jareth's eyes as he looked at the boy, remembering his original plan.
He drove the pain from his heart, he did not have to be reminded of how she broke him, all would end well, he refused anything less.
"Stay and play with Merwy Toby, I have to go have a chat with your sister's friend." sighed and headed towards the direction of the room now belonging to Helena.
She laid on the bed with her arms crossed over her chest, simply staring at the ceiling. She did not move when a hard pound was heard on the door, or when the owner of the noise entered the room.
"You forget where you are." Jareth hissed as he saw her laying on the bed, the bottom of her dress hanging off the foot, "This is my kingdom, you shall do what I say."
"I am not one of your mindless citizens. I will not do anything I do not wish to." she shot back, never letting her gaze faultier.
"You will do what you are told."
"No. I am not some dog. If you want something, ask." She finally turned to gaze to him, glaring daggers.
It was hard to be mad at him, she realized, seeing the king shocked at her defiance. He was attractive, she noticed, in a strange sort of way. He was paler than most, with striking bleach-like hair, that seemed to be completely out of control, and yet, he seemed to command it. His clothing did nothing to go against her thinking, ruffles in a purely aristocratic gentle man way, the kind she always imagined on a prince charming.
She sat up on the bed, swinging her feet to the side to face him completely, and then she waited.
Something about her gaze made the Goblin King uneasy, as if she could see right through him.
"You are stuck her, madame, as I'm sure you will realize, it will only benefit you to more among the castle. I am asking you to come join the court for dinner. You need to eat, and I believe if will satisfy some of your curiosity, if you allow your pride ans stubbornness to remain in your room." with that he turned to leave, not wanting her direct attention for very long.
If he was not king, he might have thought he was scared to know what she thought of him, but the idea was ridiculous. He was the Goblin King, he needed approval from no one. He however, wanted hers, although he he attempted to deny it even within his own mind.
He was stopped at the doorway by her quite voice.
"What time must I be ready?"
"Get out!" Sarah pushed Peter towards the door, her body racked with the feelings of anger and betrayal.
"Sarah wait-" Peter suddenly no longer wanted to fight. He remembered fighting with Wendy, how he drove her away. He did not want to repeat his actions.
"No David, or Peter or who ever the hell you are. He sent you, he sent you to ruin my life again!" Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she beat against his chest, no longer in her right mind.
"I can take you too Helena. I know how to get from her to the Labyrinth. " She stopped her assault. Some how on her way to push him out she missed the door, and now had him pinned to the wall.
"Why would you want to do that? You're Jareth's minion. You'd probably just betray me. Take me back to the beginning." she whispered the last part, remembering what Hoggle told Jareth when she was in the Labyrinth before. She was no longer as foolish as before, if the labyrinth taught her one thing, it was things may not always be what they appear. David had been her friend. Perhaps could have even been more, but Peter was there to hurt her.
Peter didn't know what he was doing when he pulled Sarah's face to his, or why he pressed their lips together. All he knew was that his body refused any other action, it wanted to kiss Sarah, and would not listen to any sort of reason.
A kiss. Peter's mind weakly protested when Sarah kissed him back. Like Wendy's kiss, but nothing like that, soft and innocent.
Sarah did not know why Peter was kissing her, or why she kissed him back. All she knew was that somewhere inside of her, she wanted to, for reasons she was not yet willing to admit.
