Darn...
Author's Note: Well, this was supposed to be the full second chapter of With Just A Little Help, unfortunately the well's run dry on a point in the story, so until the water's flowing again, this will be the first part of the second chapter...
Jareth and Sarah made their way towards the cabin, both having to trudge along through the snow. As they approached, the cabin grew larger and larger as the snow began to fall more and more heavily. By the time they reached the door to the cabin, the wind was whipping the snow around them at an almost blizzard-like rate. When knocking failed to gain a response, Jareth shrugged and tried the door. It was unlocked. They both cautiously entered the darkened cabin. To their right, they could see the fire roaring in the fireplace. All of a sudden, a bright light flashed in front of them, threatening to blind them. As the afterimage of the flash diminished, they could see that the cabin was now well-lit and appeared to be decorated for the Christmas season.
Jareth quickly made his way to stand in front of the fire. Sarah slowly followed, looking around at the candles and oil lanterns that were placed around the interior of the cabin. A tree was decorated and placed to the left of the fireplace, and greenery was hung on the mantel above the fireplace and over the various doors that she could see.
"Who do you think this place belongs to?" She asked.
"I've no idea. Do you?" Jareth asked, turning to face away from the fire, warming his backside.
"None whatsoever. I'm just glad that we got out of that snowstorm." Sarah said as she began to remove the heavy coat she was wearing, revealing a long black victorian-looking dress. She looked around and spotted some hooks in the wall by the front door. She walked over to them, hung up her coat, and then turned to walk back to the fireplace. She was surprised to see that Jareth had already shed his outer coat and was now wearing what looked to be some sort of white military uniform.
"Until that storm lets up, I think we're stuck here." He said as he looked around some more at the cabin's interior. He walked over to a table that was set up to one side of the fireplace and noticed a small number of packages that, much to his surprise, had his name on some of them, while others had Sarah's name on them.
