Home is Where the Heart is
Chapter 4
A stunned Goblin King stood motionless as his mind took in what had just been said. Sarah coldly walked out of the bedroom not caring what he thought anymore. Leaning for support against a floor to ceiling glass window, Sarah stood as though not even breathing. The only sign of life was in her eyes that were peering down at a locket. No ornate jewelry just a simple locket holding her most valuable possession. An aged picture of a little boy looked back at her somehow hazed by time. Truly the only picture she had left after the fire. Absolutely priceless in her mind. Her thoughts were snapped to attention with a pair of strong hands turning her around.
"Sarah, it's time for you to come home." The voice was no longer a whisper or icy statement but a caring request that seemed to tug at her heart.
"I have no home Jareth, not since that night." Her words seemed to be distant and alone yet soaked with a hidden pain.
"Sarah, I know what happened that night. I watched it all from a crystal feeling just as helpless as you did. Don't you see that when you hurt I hurt too? You're killing me Sarah. Every time you cry, curse your self for still breathing, or scream into the night a little of me dies. We need each other." He went to brush back a stray hair that had fallen out of place but was stopped by her warning glare.
"You have been my one fear all my life. How can you just walk in here after all these years you haunted me? You are nothing but a villain Jareth! Scaring little children is your only pleasure in life."
Her cold statement was like a dagger to his heart. Turning carelessly away Sarah didn't see the wince in his eyes. "I won't give up on you Sarah Williams. You have much to learn and much to let go." With that said he was gone. No longer a reflection of two in the window but one. Alone again, Sarah faced another cold nights sleep with little rest in the forecast.
~Sorry for the shortness. I promise it'll get better as I get going. ***Lots of details to lay first*** While you're down here do me a favor and click that little box to leave me your thought on Realization so far. Thanx for sticking with it…I'm getting there.
