Chapter 6: Trust In Me
Jareth led me out of the castle and into the goblin city. Then, instead of going into the Labyrinth, he led me to a secret passage. It was hidden by a Weeping Willow trees branches.
"Do you trust me?" Jareth asked.
"Yes. Why?"
"Trust in me now. Close your eyes." he said right before we went under the branches. I wanted to prove to him that I trusted him, so I did as he told me to and shut my eyes. Jareth took my hands and he led me uner the branches. I could feel them against my face as we went under them.
"Where are we going?" I asked for the third time.
"A very special place. I want it to be a surprise."
"OK . . . "I said, "Will the goblins find you if they need you?" I asked suddenly, remembering what had happened earlier. A flash of guilt went through me.
"No, no one knows about this place except for me and, now, you."
"I feel so special." I said and I meant it.
"You should. It's not everyday that I show one of my secret places to someone else."
I didn't know how to respond to that.
"All right . . . we're there. Open your eyes."
I did and my eyes were greeted with a wonderful sight. The garden was beautiful. There was color everywhere and everything was beautiful. The flowers that were there were in full bloom. The trees were beautiful and hanging down form a large one was a white swing. It was made for two people.
"Wow." Was all I could manage to choke out.
"Do you like it?" Jareth smiled at me.
"No, I don't like it. I love it! It's wonderful! Thank you for bringing me here."
"Now, whenever one of us get you mad or you need time alone, you can come out here where no one but myself knows about. You could hide out here for a while, escape reality for a few hours."
"I love it. It really is wonderful." I smiled at him, "Oh, yea, Jareth. I wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. It was childish and immature."
"I completely understand. I put a spell on you, I'm sure I would have reacted in the same manner."
"Thank you for being so understanding."
"Come on. Let's go sit on the swing."
Jareth moved toward the swing and I followed. Jareth sat down and I sat beside him. It was sunset. Jareth put his arm around my shoulders slowly, afraid of how I might react, and pulled me close. I rested my head on his shoulder and we watched the sunset together.
