One minute she was confronting that vile woman Hope and the next she disappeared. Looking around she saw the other twelve orphans with her in a large room. It held a throne and there was a pit in the middle that had dozens of pillows in it. Ara had no idea how they got there. What surprised her even more was that now she was wearing a silver dress that fell to her feet and pooled around her on the floor. All of a sudden as she looked up a tall man with wild platinum hair appeared before her. He was dressed in a white poet shirt that hung open his chest bore a medallion and his grey pants were so tight: she turned her head to keep from blushing.
"Welcome to my home," he said softly. With a lazy flick of his hand the room became crowded with creatures all around them.
Ara glanced back at the man and noticed that his eyes never left her. She was surprised to see that his eyes were two colors a greenish one and an blueish one; taking a deep breath and keeping her eyes on his face she said, "where are we and how did we get here?"
He stepped towards her keeping his eyes on her and stopped within a foot from reaching her. "You my dear are in the heart of the Labyrinth; the Goblin Kingdom, a part of the Underground and I brought you here."
"Goblin Kingdom.. Underground... who are you?"
"Why Ara I feel hurt, after all the times I sent Snit to help you. I'm the Goblin King," he bowed as he said this. "You my dear may call me Jareth."
"You sent Snit?"
Just then Snit stepped forward and stood next to his king. "Yes Ara his majesty sent me to you since he could not go himself," Snit admitted.
Jareth glared at the goblin for speaking up but turned and smiled softly at Ara. "Indeed I did send Snit to aid you when that woman locked you away.
"Jareth why are we here?"
"Well to keep it simple that woman wished you to me."
"She didn't believe it actually would work, don't you have to believe in magic for it to actually work?"
"Not at all dear Ara I've been waiting a long time for her to slip up and since she couldn't get caught there I simple made it so I could catch her here."
"What do you mean?"
Sighing he took her hands in his, "I never cared how that woman treated any of the children in her care. She was so good at not getting caught that I yearned to take all of you away from her." In his mind he mainly thought of taking Ara away from her but he would never openly admit that to her.
"Are we allowed to leave her and go where we want?"
"Well yes and no, she has thirteen hours to make it here and reclaim you otherwise you all belong to me."
Ara removed her hands from Jareth's and looked him straight in the eyes. A small fire seemed to blaze to life within her own. "I don't belong to anyone."
Startled Jareth answered "what I meant precious was that if she fails you have to stay in the underground for the rest of your lives. I can not bring you back to your human world."
Looking up into his eyes again, "do we have to stay here with you and what will become of us?"
He looked down at his hands, "you do not have to stay with me, the children will be adopted throughout the Underground. Since you are no longer a child you would have the right to choose where you would prefer to live."
