I DONT OWN THE LABYRINTH
Chapter 14
Sarah and Toby got into the carriage to go back home for a few days. Sarah stayed quiet while Toby and Jareth were talking to one another. This was something she never expected to see happen. Sarah just smiled to herself as she watched the two talk about magic, the underground, and also the world above.
"You're wrong, Toby, it goes like this," Jareth said as he moved his wrist to make a crystal appear out of nowhere.
Toby looked at it and said, "But Lord Gareth said that was wrong. He said that I had to snap my finger to make a crystal appear."
Sarah zoned out of their conversation and thought about how much she needed to get a letter from her dear cousin. She was worried about her. Yet, at the same time she couldn't worry about her because there was nothing for her to do.
"Sarah, are you alright?" came Toby's voice.
Sarah looked down at him, smiled and said, "I'm fine. Just a bit tired that's all."
Looking away from Toby and out the window Sarah let her mind start to wander until she felt someone was sitting next to her. Looking to her left she saw Jareth sitting there.
"Precious, are you all right? You seem down," Jareth observed.
"I'm fine. I just haven't been myself lately. I guess with all of the training I've been getting from your mother, the High Queen, I've just been tired," Sarah replied, but she knew that was a lie.
"Sarah, don't lie to me," Jareth chastized.
Sarah looked at him in the eyes and said, "If I am there is a good reason why, but please don't ask me anymore questions in front of Toby."
Jareth.
Jareth looked at Sarah and then decided to move back to his seat. He wasn't sure how to try and get Sarah to talk to him about important things when her brother is around. He knew that he had to because if he or his mother couldn't do it, he knew that his mother would be calling his sister and brother to help and that wouldn't be good.
Yes, Jareth does have two siblings who can be as annoying as their own mother. His siblings are twins. Yet, his sister acts like their mother and the brother acts like his father, but Jareth acts like both of his parents. He knew that his siblings knew who they were teaching, and who had broken his heart. Looking out the window, since Toby was reading a book that Jareth had lent him, Jareth kept his mind calm as it can be. That was hard since he knew that Sarah was across from him being quiet and refusing to say a word or even talk to him.
"Jareth, has my sister shot you down again?" Toby asked looking right at Sarah.
Jareth turned and look at Toby and said, "In a way, yes she has. Yet, I don't know what I did wrong? Do you have an idea young one?"
Jareth watched as Toby was in thinking mode. Then, Toby looked over at Sarah and then at his book and said, "I think it has something to do with those letters she's waiting for. I know that ring means a lot to her, she told me that she lost it when I was baby. She told me that she lost it three weeks before we moved here. I think that something has been bothering her lately. I don't know what but sometimes she gets feelings about something bad that's going to happen and then she's fine. So maybe she's worried about her cousin. I met her once, when Father took me above to visit my grandparents and her cousin was there."
"I see. Thank you, Toby," Jareth replied.
When Jareth looked out the window, he noticed that they were already at Sarah's and Toby's home. He glanced at Sarah who looked like she was happy to be home, but at the same time he could tell that she was worried. He, of course, knew why she was worried, it was because of her powers.
Sarah
Sarah looked out the window and noticed that she was home. She smiled to herself, but she knew the smile didn't reach her eyes. Looking at Jareth she knew that he knew how scared and worried she felt. She couldn't dare to bring herself to ask how much he knew or what he knew.
"Sarah, take a deep breath, you'll be fine. Just don't worry about your powers and don't try to use them while you're visiting your parents. I know that my mother gave you the bracelet to help control your powers," Jareth said while looking into Sarah's eyes.
Sarah smiled and looked away as the footmen of the carriage opened the door for them to get out. Toby hopped out and ran up to the door. Then, Jareth he held out his hand for Sarah. She didn't want be rude, so she took his hand . They quietly walked up to the door and walked inside.
"Sarah, there you are, I was begging to worry that you decided not to come," Karen said.
Karen looked up at Sarah and froze when she realized that Sarah wasn't alone. Karen looked at the Goblin King and started to bow when she noticed that Jareth shook his head at her.
"My Lord, I didn't realize that you were here. I thought Sarah and Toby would be home visiting by themselves," said Karen.
"I'm sorry, Karen, but here is a letter explaining why that I am here with you, please take it and show it Robert when he comes home. Do you have an extra room for me to use while they are here to visit?" Jareth asked, though he was a little rude.
Sarah looked at him and he realized that he was being rude to Karen, but it was an accident and also at the same time he was still upset with how he saw her treat Sarah all those years ago. Jareth looked over at Karen and said, "I'm sorry, I was a little rude."
Karen smiled and said, "It's not problem. Sarah, dear, can you show Lord Jareth where the guest room is so that he may use it while you and Toby are here."
"Of course, Karen, also has father received any word from my grandparents?" Sarah asked as she reached the stairs.
"Not yet, my dear. Don't worry, if I know your father he probably paid them a visit about your letter. Now show Jareth to the guest room and get some rest until I call you down for dinner," Karen said as she walked away to boss a servant around.
Sarah looked at Jareth and said, "Follow me. The room that you will be staying in is on the same floor as me and Toby's."
They walked up the stairs, and Sarah noticed that the footmen were carrying their things. She guessed that Toby must have showed them the rooms already. Sarah came to a stop at a door, opened it and said, "This will be your room while we are here. There is a bathroom on the left, and on the right is the closet."
Sarah started to walk to her room when Jareth grabbed her arm and said, "Can we talk?"
Sarah looked at him and said, "Not now. Maybe after dinner."
"Alright, precious, I'll let you have it your away for now," Jareth said. Then, he walked into his room.
