"I don't want your pity!" Jareth screamed at Sarah. She was so startled she began to scream right back at him.
"Pity! Pity is the last thing I would ever give you. I would give you everything I have before I give you pity. Don't ever talk to me that way again when all I am trying to do is help you! Remember, you have no power over me!" Sarah shut up at those words. She regreted saying it. Jareth was the last person she wanted to hurt. She thought he would go away again but all he did was smile.
"Sarah, that phrase has no power over me. It was just a stupid parlor trick I made up so all the dumb mortals would think they won. Pretty good huh?"
"So that phrase did not affect you?"
"Not one bit," Jareth sudenly realized that maybe she wanted him to go away, "Did you want it to?"
"Well you were being so mean and.....and....and," Sarah breaks down into tears. Oh great, Jareth thinks, I don't want to have to deal with a hysterical woman right now. Jareth decides he cant just let her sit there and cry so he goes over and sits next to her.
"Now, now, now. Don't cry. What's wrong?" Jareth asks hoping this will help.
"I am so confused and scared at the same time."
"Well tell me what you are confused about and I will tell you what you need to know. Then we can work on what you are scared about. Okay?" Sarah nods and she sort of stops crying.
"Who the hell is Jeremy?"
"Okay this could take a while but we have all night. Jeremy and I have been fighting for years. He is sick and tired of being the king of the fairy's and thinks he got the raw end of the stick. He thinks they are......um.....well.....oh what the hell. He thinks their gay. Well, for as long as I can remember Jeremy has wanted to be king of the goblin's because he thinks they are more manly. Yes I know it all sounds stupid but he is not the smartest being in the world as you clearly saw tonight. Now the only thing he has going for him is that he has slighly more power than I do, but I have more expierence then he does. So therefore he will be a difficult man to beat because he has more power but on the other hand he has no clue what the hell he is doing. There does that satify your confusion for now?", Sarah nods, "Now what are you scared about?"
"I am scared you are going to die and I will have to be with him!"
"Now don't be scared. We wont die. Wait. Why arn't you scared for yourself why only me?" Sarah sits down in a chair and mumbles something. "I am sorry I did not catch that."
"I don't want to lose you because I am in love with you!"
Jareth just sat their stuned. He did not know what to do. He had been waiting to hear those words for so long but they somehow seem different now. It is almost as if they were music. Jareth slowly walked over to Sarah and put one hand on her waist and pulled he close to him. When she did not object he put his other hand on her beautiful face and then he kissed her. Something he had been wanting to do for so long and now it was happening and it was just the way he had pictured it. They pulled away and just looked at each other for what seemed like an eternity.
"Sarah, I love you and I have always loved you and I promis you that I will do everything in my power to protect you. Not just now but forever. I have heard of a way to stop him but I am not sure. Just promise me you will never leave my sight untill this whole thing is over. I just want to know that you are safe. Please?"
"Anything you ask I will do."
"Anything?" he asked with a big grin.
"Yes, anything." she replied with an even bigger grin and at that moment Jareth picked her up and carried her into his chamber and closed the door behind him.
Now you all have to be honest with me here. This is where I kind of do an audience participation thing. All I need you to do is tell me if you want to know what goes on behind closed doors or not. See? It's not hard at all. Now all you need to do is "cast your vote" so to speak. Oh, and I promise you that this IS NOT the presidential election and it will be fair unlike President Tex-Mess.
