Hours later, Zelena and a very pissed off Sarah still sat in the smelly dungeon.
"WHAT IS TAKING HIM SO LONG!!"Sarah screamed AGAIN.
"Argh! Sarah, yelling won't help! He said he would keep us in here all day. He's just living up to his word."
"Shut up Zelena, you're giving me a migraine!"

Jareth felt himself fall deeper into the darkness he had already entered. Voices, echoes, whispers of ancients. His mind was a whirl. Memories long forgotten fleeted across his thoughts. "I could just die right now." But of course, the curse that was laid upon him still remained. To live until the end of time. Agony, sorrow, depression, all were too familiar. Love.... Had he once loved? He didn't know. No one had ever loved him. Incapable of loving..was how many described him, cold, manipulative, seductive, power hungry....vain...and so many more.
"Is he going make it?"
"I don't know. My greatest medicines have yet to awaken him."
Voices? Did he hear voices? Slowly, but surely, Jareth pried open his heavy lids. Two women stood over him.
"Well, speak of the devil! Hello there."
Jareth groaned,"Where the bloody hell am I?"
"Ohh, a foul mouthed one he is!"
"Who are you?"
The shorter of the two courtsied."The names Melody."
The other did the same, "I am known as Inga. Healer for the Ninaki people."
Jareth's eyes grew as round as saucers,"Nin...nin...Ninaki??"
"Yes, that'd be us."
"How...how.."
"How did we find you? The men were out hunting, one brought along his son of 17. The son, unaware that he was not to hunt Owls, shot you. When you fell to the ground, you turned back to your alternate form.Through Inga's skilled healing,we have brought you back to the land of the living."
The healer, Inga, nodded. "I'm sorry Melody, I must take leave.The women across the way is having a difficult pregnency."She bowed, and left.
"but,...Ninaki? The village of ninaki is...miles away from the ..."he trailed off.
"From where honey?"Melody asked soothingly.
"from..from...I ...I...I can't remember!"
The women shook her head. "It's worse then we thought. When you hit the ground,you must have hit head on. You memory maybe gone."
Jareth moaned." I don't even remember my name!"
"well, what do you want to be called?"
Jareth smiled.."Seth."
"Lovely. You will be known as 'Seth' until your memory returns!"
"Can I get out of bed?" Jareth asked.
"Why of course!" Melody held out her arm, and Jareth grabbed it. She pulled Jareth to a standing position, and let him take in his surroundings. They were in a small shack with a dirt floor. A small table with stumps for chairs sat in the corner, and a woodstove behind it.
"Can I go outside?"
Melody smiled, and helped him walk to the door. She opened it, and let him step out onto the road.
'Its amazing!" he breathed.
"It is isn't it?"
The small town of Ninaki was situated along side a long winding river. A large forest to the west of the town made it hidden. To the east, was yet another forest, adding to the serene setting of the little town.
"The houses are so small...."Jareth mumbled.
Melody let out a hearty laugh," What are you? Some kind of King?"
Jareth laughed,"Yeah, imagine that."
* * * * *
"Its been longer than a day ZELENA!"
Zelena sighed."For the ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTITH TIME; I KNOW!!!!"
Sarah sniffled, "I'm cold, and I'm hungry, and I'm tired, and I'm cranky and I'..." Zelena cut her short.
"WELL SO AM I! We've been down here for almost 3 days!"
Just then the sound of a key scraping in the lock could be heard.
The door swung open, and one of Jareth's girls ran in," Oh my lord! We looked everywhere for a key! Had to raid the bastards room for this!" She held up a skeleton key."Opens every door in the castle!"
Zelena smiled," Thank god! We're starving! Wheres Jareth?"
The womens smile faded, "He hasn't been home for days."She unlocked their bindings, and helped them stand, "were all worried. But right now, getting you food is most important. Come!"
She locked arms with Zelena and Sarah and assisted them in walking to the door.
With a final sigh, Zelena closed the door of the dungeon.
"Where ever you are Jareth, come home!" She whisperd to the air.
Oh and thank you to all the people who are reading, but not reviewing! You are important too! ^____^
