"Get out!"
"Excuse me?" He was both shocked and amused.
"Get the hell out!"
"You can't throw me out, this is my castle."
"Watch me!"
Sarah pushed with al of her might, but the goblin king barely moved a step. Laughter erupted from him, sending Sarah into a rage. He was mocking her.
"GET OUT!" She screamed in his face.
"Sarah…" SMACK! The punch caught him completely off guard, wiping the smile from is face in the process. Reeling back, Tarrick thumped into the wall.
Sarah stood still as a statue, her hands still balled waiting to strike again in needs be. She glared at him as he tried to straighten himself up.
"Get out." her words spoken softly and calmly, she stood her ground, on the little that could be seen through the clutter on the floor.
"I gave you your answers. Fool yourself if you wish, but I speak the truth."
Sarah said nothing, could say nothing. She held her breath, waiting, watching as he slowly made his way to the door. "Jareth was not kingly enough to get a mortal woman, never mind two."
As the door slammed behind him, Sarah slowly let out the breath she had been holding, relieving her heart from at least some of the stress it was under. Her mind plagued with doubts, she did not move. How could she trust him? He had done nothing but lie and deceive her since she had arrived. But then how could she know that he wasn't telling the truth? He seemed convinced that it was true, so maybe it was, she couldn't tell either way.
She wanted to scream, but what was the point? No one would hear her and even if they did, they would ignore her. Everyone that is except the one that she needed most, the only one who could help her, answer her questions. She needed the true Goblin King…"JARETH!"
