Yup, three chapters up in one day. I hope you enjoy.
After eating Sarah lie on the bed and fell asleep. As Sarah slept Jareth walked into the room to check on her. He moved the tray that still lay on the bed to the bed side table and gently sat down on the edge of the bed. He moved a strand of hair out of her face and smiled at her as she continued to sleep. He ran an ungloved hand down her cheek. She moaned softly and rolled toward him in her sleep. Smiling he lay down next to her and pulled her close to his body. She snuggled close to him and wrapped her arms around him as she rested her head on his shoulder. Jareth soon fell asleep beside her with her in his arms. A few hours later Sarah awoke still in Jareth's arms with her arms still around him. Her head rested on his chest. She lay there not moving as she watched Jareth sleep. He seemed so peaceful as he lay there with his arms around her asleep. As she continued to watch him he moaned softly and pulled her tighter so that her body was molded to his.
He looks different while he sleeps. She thought to herself as she watched him.
She gently brought a hand to his cheek and ran her thumb over it gently. He shifted again then opened his eyes as she pulled her hand away from his face. He loosened his grasp on her and smiled. She sat up and adjusted her shirt before standing up.
"Ah, I see you are awake." Jareth said sitting up and looking her over. "Ready to return home?"
Sarah straightened up and squared up her shoulders before looking over to him. She wanted to ask him why he had climbed into bed with her and was holding her the way he was. But she just couldn't bring the words out of her lips. She wanted to be home, she wanted to talk to Toby.
"I am," she replied. "Please take me home!"
"Then let's get you home, shall we?" Jareth said and stood on the opposite side of the bed.
He adjusted his shirt as well before walking around the bed to her. With a devious smile on his face he wrapped an arm around Sarah's waist and pulled her close to his body without alarming her. Before Sarah could object, Jareth lifted her chin so that she was looking at him in his beautiful miss matched eyes. He brought his lips to hers and Sarah stiffened for a moment before relaxing again.
I did not give him permission to kiss me anytime he wants to. Sarah thought to herself before wrapping her arms around his neck. And yet I want his kisses. I want to be right here in his arms. But is it right? Is it wise for me to trust him with all I am? I have been hurt so many times and yet I feel that I can trust him with my heart and he would not break it.
She kissed him back unable to help herself again as she closed her eyes. Jareth deepened the kiss as he pulled her even closer. When he released her from the kiss Sarah opened her eyes and saw that they were a block away from her parents' house. She did not want him to let go of her but knew that she could not stay with him. She stepped back out of his arms and grasp. She stood an arm's length from him and looked away from him for a moment.
"Thank you, Jareth." Sarah said and held out a hand for him to shake.
He just looked to her hand before gently taking it and bringing the back of her hand to his lips in a gentle kiss. A chill ran up Sarah's spine as his lips touched the back of her hand.
"You are quite welcome." Jareth replied releasing her hand. "If Kanol comes back, call for me! I will deal with him. Though I don't think you will have any more problems with him."
"Sure." Sarah replied and took another step back. "I should get going."
Jareth nodded and Sarah turned away. She walked toward her parents' house with a last glance over her shoulder only to see glitter falling to the ground where Jareth had stood. She opened the door to her parents' house as she got to it and entered.
"Mom, Dad, I am back." Sarah called and Toby ran up to her and hugged her. "Hey, Toby."
She hugged him back and smiled as she ruffled his hair some. Karen, her stepmother, walked out of the kitchen drying her hands and her father came out of his study.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Toby asked looking up to her.
"I didn't really have a choice." Sarah replied. "And I didn't have the time to say goodbye either."
"Oh," he replied as he let her go.
"You are just in time for dinner." Karen said smiling.
"Good, I am starved." Sarah replied smiling at Karen and walked with Toby to the dinner table.
They sat down at the table and started passing dishes. As they ate, Sarah tried to come up with a reason she had left if they asked. She figured that the letter had not gone into detail for her disappearance.
"So where did you disappear to?" her father, Richard asked.
"A friend needed some help with something that couldn't wait." Sarah replied with her fork halfway to her mouth. "I am not at liberty to tell you what it was that I had to help with. It is a personal matter."
Thankfully they did not ask any more questions. Once dinner was finished, Sarah took care of clearing the table and washing dishes, while Toby finished his homework. That night Sarah sat alone in her room after everyone slept. She stood before her window and stared out it deep in thought. She opened the window and leaned out it slightly. The moon was full that night and she smiled.
Why is it he keeps kissing me? She thought to herself as she continued to smile. He held me like he didn't want to let me go. She closed her eyes. His kiss seemed almost desperate and sad. She shook her head and opened her eyes again. I have to stop thinking about him and yet I can't. Why is it every time I think of him my heart speeds up a bit and my breath catches in my throat?
She turned from the window and walked over to her bed. Laying down on it she sighed. Looking to the side she smiled some as she saw the Labyrinth book sitting beside her head on the pillow. She picked it up and opened it. She started to read it with a smile on her face. As she read the book, she remembered why she had loved it so much.
So Please review if you wish. I look forward to reading what you think of this latest chapter. A new chapter should be up soon but another idea for a new Labyrinth Fan Fiction keeps bugging me to start on it. I really want to finish this one before I start a new one. Even if I start a new Labyrinth fanfic I will not forget this one, I promise. Anyway, I will start working on the next chapter soon and maybe even have it up tomorrow or the next day. I may even have a couple of chapters to put up soon. Who knows?
