Alone in a compartment on the train Starlit put her CD player back on
again. She liked her Labyrinth soundtrack, but for some reason it was
giving her a strange feeling of homesickness. She found herself half
missing the Labyrinth -and its ruler of course!- She sighed and switched
the CD player off. So much for a blissfully blank journey home! She'd have
to actually think. What a jip! Starlit had hoped that she could just
listen to music and not think on how much she liked the Goblin King and how
much she wished she hadn't been brought home.
Sort of.
"Tickets please." A voice jarred Starlit from her thoughts and she automatically went into her bag to find her return ticket. She didn't notice the slight cooling of the air around her, and nothing seemed out of place until she looked up and her heart leaped upwards to reside in her throat.
"You-!" she squeaked, looking around aimlessly for assistance or escape. There was none. /He/ was stood at the door.
"Good evening."
"Get out of my compartment." Star growled, surprisingly calm, although her heart was now playing the eighteen twelve overture.
"/Your/ compartment?" Jareth's silky voice teased her. Star almost pouted, but forced herself not to.
"Get out."
"No." Jareth chuckled coldly. "I don't forget, you know Star." He chuckled again as Starlit looked confused.
"Forget what?"
"Forget what you and your little friend did." Jareth's eyes narrowed coldly, and Starlit shivered as the room cooled even more.
"Trent." She said, suddenly getting it. Jareth's thin lips twisted into a derisive smirk.
"Very perceptive Starlit." He said coldly. "So you see, I don't forget, and I don't forgive."
"Get out." Starlit said, her voice definitely edgy. Jareth laughed aloud.
"No. You see, I've been planning this for a long time, and you're coming with me."
"I don't think so!" Starlit stood up and fell into a defensive stance, her fists clenched. Since her return from the Underground she had taken up Tae Qwon Do. Jareth laughed again.
"You don't think so?" he taunted. "Well, I do." he took a crystal from the air and started to weave it in and out of his fingers, and against her will Starlit found herself staring at it, unable to break the gaze.
Before she knew what had happened she was standing in the throne room again. She stamped her foot angrily.
"JARETH!!!!!"
Sort of.
