Chapter 3: Back To Reality
Sarah continued to lay in her bed staring up at her ceiling for what seemed like hours, deep in thought. 'Why wouldn't he tell me where his powers went, they just couldn't have disappeared. And why was he so angry with me. Well that was a dumb question, I'm the one who destroyed the labyrinth, and I'm the one who didn't take his offer. It's all my fault!!!' tears started down her cheeks. "I wish there was something I could do." Sarah yelled. She looked over at her clock. It was 12:03 surely her father was at work and her stepmother shopping with Toby so that must be why she could sleep in. Sarah closed her eyes pulling the covers up over her head.
'Oh do you.' Jareth's voice broke through her thoughts.
Sarah sat up with a start. "Jareth. where are you?" Sarah said looking all around until she noticed an owl perched on a branch outside her window. 'She walked swiftly over to the window and opened it to let the owl enter her room.
"What do you want Jareth." She said walking over and sitting over on the edge of her bed as Jareth flew over and landed on the chair in front of her mirror.
'I couldn't help but overhear that you wished to help'
"You couldn't help but overhear, you were sitting by my window. You were spying on me!?!" Jareth's laugh entered Sarah's mind infuriating her even more.
Jareth barely dodged the pillow, which hit the vanity, knocking all of her papers to the floor. A startled Jareth hooted and flew to the bed landing in the cushiony quilts.
'Do you still want to help or are you intent on killing me.'
"I want to help." Sarah said feeling childish.
'Let me start by telling you who holds all of my powers.'
"It's a person? Here or in the underground?"
'If you let me finish instead of so rudely interrupting me than I would have told you.'
"Calm down goblin king, don't get your feather's in a bunch." She started to laugh then turned serious. "I'm just curious."
'Why are you so curious?'
"Because of my friends, I need to make sure they're okay."
Jareth's jealousy flared at the mention of her friends before he then calming himself again. 'Don't upset yourself you need her, so just stay calm and go on.' He thought to himself before speaking again to her. 'You hold all my power. And you need to give it to me freely. That is how it must work. Oh and you'll just have a small test nothing big, just enough to prove that you really give it to me.'
"You mean I've had it all this time."
'Didn't you wonder why your friends' Jareth spat the last part although Sarah didn't seem to notice. 'Were able to come to your world' He finished.
"Wait if I could do that then, I can use you magic."
'No, you don't understand how to use it and it is very dangerous, my magic that is.' Jareth smirked.
Sarah shrugged her shoulders before starting up again. "So I just have to say you can have your powers back?"
'Yes and no, you must forgive me and truly wish for me to continue with what I was doing.'
"But I can't do that. It wouldn't feel right if you went back to stealing children."
'I don't steal them. Look Sarah, I take unwanted children.' Jareth's anger flared at her accusation.
"And turn them into goblins. I'm sure they enjoy their life as those disgusting creatures!!" Sarah stood hands on her hips, staring down at Jareth.
'It's better than living in a family, as an unwanted child.' With that Jareth flew out the still open window and into the night leaving behind a very confused and angry Sarah.
_-_-_-_-_-_
'I shouldn't have blown up on her. I shouldn't have let my anger control my actions. Now I've lost her for sure. Why must we be enemies? She why can't she see that.' Jareth swooped lower landing in a part of the park, which was where he had first seen Sarah practicing. He perched in a near by tree to think.
