Chapter 2: Truths Discovered
Sarah was surrounded in darkness she was floating.
'There's such a sad love deep in your eyes' His voice floated from every direction to her. 'A kind of pale jewel open and closed' His voice engulfed her as she was surrounded in light. Then she stood in the ballroom dancing in Jareth's arms.
It was the same dream she always had and she knew that when the song ended she would wake up in her bed to her world.
She could stay in his arms forever and as the last verses came her heart quickened.
'As the pain sweeps through makes no sense for you, every thrill has gone wasn't too much fun at all, but I'll be there for you, as the world falls......'
"Wait, don't go, please don't leave me...... I. I don't want to be alone anymore."
Sarah stared up into Jareth's surprised eyes. "Your still here" her grip tightened on his jacket. She stared into his eyes, which were now cruel and hard, and she knew that he wasn't the same Jareth that she had danced with each night, but in the presence of the Goblin King. Still she didn't let go. She didn't care anymore; her fear to wake to reality over ruled her fear of the goblin king.
His eyes softened "And your still here." A predatory grin fell over his lips and the coldness returned to his eyes.
"This has never happened before."
Jareth raised an elegant eyebrow. "You never wanted it to happen."
"How do you know what I want and don't want? Your arrogant and cruel and car about no one but yourself." Sarah screamed not knowing exactly why she was mad.
Jareth stepped back from her and started circling her looking like a predator and Sarah the prey. "I am cruel but you are just as cruel, and you are still so ignorant, and I do, very much, care." He stopped in front of her, their face's mere inches apart. She could feel his breath on her face.
"Jareth?"
His eyes softened and he took a step back. He looked worn and old. "You wouldn't understand. You should go, you've done enough already." With that he turned and started to fade.
"Wait." Sarah cried running over and grabbing his shoulder. "What do you mean..... I don't understand." Her voice was low and she realized that she had been whispering.
He sighed but did not turn. "you never understood." He stood erect and turned on her. She took a step back as he stood menacingly before her. "Don't you ever wonder what happens when someone wins?" he lowered his head he could feel himself breaking down. He hated to admit his weaknesses, especially to her. "I lose all my powers...... I'm stuck here while my labyrinth is gone and so is every thing else in the underground."
"What about Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus." Her voice sounded with despair.
"All gone. Had you not wondered why your friends never answered you back." Anger returning to his voice.
"I thought. that you."
"I couldn't have I've been stuck as an owl for the past three years."
"Where did your powers go?" Sarah stared down at her feet. When she looked up when he had yet to answer and she realized that he was gone. Tears streaked down her face as she had thought of how she had accused him of taking away her friends and in reality he had not done anything, except being stuck in owl form for the past three years. Then light consumed her and she found herself closing her eyes to the bright light and when she opened them she was staring up at her ceiling.
