Sarah sat bored, twirling her pen between her fingers. When her teacher was repeating the same statement for the fourth time that lesson she silently wished for a little excitement. Her entertainment came at the expense of the teacher when he bent to pick up his chalk and his trousers ripped. She laughed along with the rest of the class and failed to notice the crystal ball that rolled along the floor. The class was amused more by a variety of 'accidents' that seemed to befall the poor teacher in a row. The hilarity ended when the principal entered the classroom.
"Sarah, will you come with me." Sarah left the classroom and followed. Miss Makin stopped in a secluded corridor and turned around. Something was wrong with the older woman, Sarah visually examined her and saw that something was wrong with her. Her eyes.
"Do you like my new image Sarah?" 'Miss Makin' asked.
"No, it doesn't suit you."
"Shame," 'Miss Makin' shook off her appearance and Jareth stood before her smiling.
"What do you want, Jareth?" she asked.
"Me? I don't want anything; it was you who wanted excitement. I merely obliged."
"Well don't."
"My dear, I am your slave. I must obey you. Besides, I thought you might like to experiment some more with your powers." Jareth, with a swift movement of his arms transported them to Sarah's castle.
"Why here?" she asked gently.
"Come now, every castle must have it's booby traps mustn't it."
"I guess."
"Well, prove your worth, create a trap that is worthy of you status." Jareth posed this in a manner that challenged Sarah, a quality she found attractive. She closed her eyes and sighed, thinking of a mass of stairways, that each had a puzzle to be completed. To her surprise, when she timidly opened her eyes her thoughts had been produced. Admittedly, they weren't exactly as she'd thought them, but her design was close enough.
"Very good, have you been practising?" Jareth questioned. Sarah stood silently and smiled satisfied. She was however shocked when she heard a distinctive load roar.
"Ludo?" she asked happily looking around for the source. Ludo roared again sounding in pain. "Where are you Ludo?" Sarah searched around the room as Ludo continued to howl. After several minutes, she found a staircase from which the creature's howls were emanating. She ran down the steps, tripping over her own feet. Jareth simply rolled his eyes and vanished. Sarah ran into a chamber, which had prison cells lining the walls. Jareth was stood smiling and leaning against one of the cells. Sarah's eyes turned to the contents of each cell and what she saw horrified her.
