Now, where were we in the story...
Jareth: SelenityPotter, I am not coming out dressed like this!
*sigh* Jareth, quit being such a baby! You don't want to disappoint
our fans now do you? Now come out of there this instant!
Jareth: NOT ON YOUR LIFE!
*sigh* Here is chapter 7. I'll work on getting our wonderful, (loud
enough so that Jareth can hear) COWARDLY Goblin King out of his room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello Jareth..." Sarah was looking at him with a look of
smug pride. A look that had mirrored his own a few minutes ago.
"I thought you weren't going to come here or speak to me?" Jareth
straightened and crossed his arms over his chest.
"I wasn't. But I heard about this intriguing painting through the
grapevine, and thought it might look fabulous in my castle. Of
course, you were asleep a moment ago. What brings you down stairs?"
Sarah raised her eyebrows in surprise. "It is my house, and I was
thirsty." She began to slowly walk towards him. Almost like a cat
stalking its prey. "The better question is, how did you hear about
the painting?"
"As I said, through the grapevine." Jareth kept up the appearance of
the cool distant Goblin King. Sarah raised her eyebrows in an exact
imitation of Jareth.
"Oh really? I don't see how. I never told anyone about it. Not even
Hoggle. So unless you were spying on me, I really don't see how you
would know about the painting or even if I was asleep!" Sarah's smirk
widened. "So, were you spying on me, oh great and glorious Goblin King?"
A look of guilt flickered briefly across his face, and Sarah's smirk
changed into an all out grin. "Of course not," Jareth said stiffly.
"You flatter yourself my dear. Why would I ever spy on you?"
"Well, how else would you know that Hoggle was visiting me? And how
would you know about the painting? Details have given you away!"
Sarah grin turned mocking. "So, do I still flatter myself Goblin
Lord?" Jareth face became cold at her taunt. The air around him
became menacing and dark.
"Do you dare to taunt me?" he asked in a deadly quiet tone. "Sarah
beware, I can be cruel." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Here we go again. A little melodramatic aren't we? You forgot a line.
As I recall, it went something like, 'Sarah beware, I have been generous
up till now, but I can be cruel.' Did I miss anything?" Jareth's face
had become harder by the second and Sarah knew at that moment she had
pushed him too far.
Anger showed plainly on Jareth's face. Sarah took a hesitant step back,
away from the wrath that was shown before her. "Sarah, you push me too
far. I was almost willing to overlook the demands that you made of me
yesterday. And I almost let you go without retribution. But now you have
pushed me too far!" A crystal started to dance across his hands in a
menacing pattern. "Here Sarah, I have brought you a gift!" He then
threw the crystal at her. Sarah neatly sidestepped the flying crystal. As
the crystal landed, it exploded into a pile of ropes. Apparently they were
meant to bind her upon contact. Sarah paled slightly at the sight of the
ropes piled on the floor.
"You missed." It was a simple statement, one that served to further fuel
the wrath of the king. Another crystal was dancing across his hands in
movements that were both graceful and menacing. Sarah started to walk
toward him, her pace the same as before. "What am I going to do with you
Jareth? You certainly do have a most uncontrollable temper, don't you?"
Jareth's face took on a flinty look. "What you are going to do with
me? And what, little girl, do you think you are going to do with me?"
By this time Sarah was right in front of him. She looked up at him
with an evil glint in her eye. Before Jareth could blink, Sarah had
grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down into a kiss.

*Evil, psychotic laughter* Oh, don't you love cliff hangers? This one may not
be a very good one, but that is about where my muses deserted me. And now, I
have a surprise for you all. I take great pleasure *muttering under breath* and
great relief, in presenting Jareth singing part of Sweet Transvestite.
*Jareth walks into view wearing a black corset, long black wig, fishnet stockings,
stiletto heels, and black panties.*
Jareth: If you weren't an author SelenityPotter, I would kill you!
Just get on with it, the sooner you finish, the sooner you can change!
Jareth: *muttered assorted swear words under breath.*
Don't get strung out by the way I look
Don't judge a book by it's cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover
Kay peoples, let's review shall we? You read story, you put reviews so I know how
I am doing. Alright Jareth, you can go change your clothes now.
*Jareth vanishes in a shower of glitter* Till next time peoples! Luvs ya!
