OK. so this is a lot shorter than i planned but it's kinda a funny little chapter and it leads into more in the next chapter.
Keep reviewing! :)
Chapter 11
In some areas Haulik was Jareth's second in command, in others he was his personal slave. Haulik held his head high though, he was the second most powerful being in the kingdom. When Jareth didn't feel up to his kingly duties Haulik was the one who took charge.
However, when Jareth was feeling up to par Haulik was forced to perform many demeaning tasks. Some of which included polishing his boots, preparing his meals and waking him up every morning. Haulik was on his way to wake Jareth up. He stopped in front of the ornately carved door and knocked. He didn't expect a answer but the king demanded he knock before entering.
After a few seconds of carefully listening for any sign that Jareth may already be awake Haulik pulled a plain skeleton key out of his pocket. He placed it in the lock and twisted until he heard the lock click. Haulik grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
The room was dark and the only source of light was the smoldering fire in the fireplace. Haulik navigated the room carefully, making his way to the sleeping king. Finally he stood next to the giant bed. Seizing the dark blue fabric of the sheets Haulik hauled himself onto the bed. He crept closer to Jareth and placed his hand on his shoulder. He gave it a shake.
"Sire?" Jareth mumbled something incoherently and rolled onto his side. Haulik shook his shoulder a little harder and rose his voice.
"King Jareth?" Without warning Jareth flipped around and threw his arms around Haulik pulling him to his chest. Haulik pushed against Jareth's bare chest.
"Your majesty?!" Jareth pulled Haulik closer and nuzzled his neck.
"My angel." Haulik squirmed and tried to push Jareth away. He mumbled something else but Haulik couldn't make out the words. Something about the stars.
"JARETH!" Haulik gave him another shove and his eyes flew open.
Jareth sat up and ran a hand over his face. He had been having the best dream. Something had woken him up though. He looked over to see Haulik standing next to him a slightly mortified look on his face.
"I am awake now. You may leave." Haulik gave a slight bow.
"Yes your majesty." Jareth watched him nearly run out of the room and wondered what was wrong.
As soon as he was dissmissed Haulik hightailed it out of there. He didn't want to be...... snuggled again. Haulik shuddered and wondered who Jareth's angel was. He pondered that thought for a while as he made his way to the kitchen to prepare Jareth's breakfast. He was almost to the kitchen when he heard a high clear laugh.
Haulik froze and after a moments hesitation stepped into the kitchen. He saw the usual, goblins running all over the kitchen preparing food, the unusual part was a human girl leaning against the counter and smiling. She had long brown hair that cascaded down to a small waist and large green eyes.
Haulik supposed she would be attractive to a human, or maybe even a king. Was this Jareth's angel?
Sarah looked up from her plate of food and saw a goblin watching her. She frowned and gave him a wave.
The goblin turned around and busied himself with a platter filled with food. Once the platter was laden with food he picked it up and swept out the door. Sarah set her plate down and followed him.
A/N: So the cuddling with Haulik actually came from a conversation my best friend Heather and i had. So this chapter is dedicated to her. Thank you. 3
Also the name Haulik came from my little brother so i also thank him.
Hope you enjoyed.
