Remembrance
In the black behind her eyes, it was the abyss again. She was still dancing, keeping in time with an invisible dancer.
She knew it was Jareth but she couldn't see him; just a swirling of glitter where his form should be. His voice floated out of the darkness around her, and she couldn't be sure where it was coming from. "You know, Precious, that the dreams of a Fae are a dangerous place to tread. We are not as black and white as mortals, and have had a long time to develop a since of perversion."
She leaned back, feeling his solid warmth though nothing was there. "You've told me something to that extent before, Goblin King."
"And I am not speaking of sexual perversions, Impatient thing." She could feel the rasping of his breath against her neck, and his voice rang out from somewhere else, setting her on edge.
"Alright. What sort of game is this Goblin King." Sarah asked, trying to look around the endless space.
She felt the prickle of his teeth again her throat and when she moved to touch the spot, pressing fingertips into the tingling flesh, she could still feel them. "Nothing is black and white to us, love mingles with hate in something far deeper than mortals could comprehend. And oh how I hate you, Precious Thing. I would give anything to be able to forget you, and yet I burn for you. Maybe that is why I cannot help but take you here now."
He spun her hard then, sending her wheeling across the space. And as her feet finally stopped moving, touching down on solid ground, a candle flickered to life, illuminating the glittering space around her.
She was not in her abyss anymore, she was in the Oubliette.
Its a place you put people to forget about them.
Note: Hey look! Your first post of the year! Because I adore you all so much. And You wont believe what I've been listening to writing this: Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. -_- I know, Hopefully the chapter isn't flavored with it.
