"Seth!!!" Melody's voice rang throughout the small cottage,"Seth! You sly-bastard! Where are you! You haven't done the dishes yet!"
Jareth came out of his room, sulking,"Do I have to?" He pouted.
"Of course you HAVE to! Your the one who eats the most!"
Jareth rolled his eyes, and side-stepped around Melody. She stuck out her foot and tripped him playfully, giggling.
He grinned at her with a deviously. She didn't like the look of that. Screaming she ran out the door.
"Muwahaha! I'm gonna get you!" He shouted out after her. Calmy he walked out the door, and scanned the area. Apearing from what seemed nowhere, Melody jumped on his back. "Gotcha first!!" She yelled.
Grinning, Jareth peeled the tiny women off his back and placed her on the ground.
"You always do..."He sighed exagerating his sadness.
"Bastard...now go do the dishes."
"Aww..I thought I had made may out of that."
Melody winked, "I'm not as dumb as I look"
"Well thank god for that!!" Jareth said quickly, running back into the house.
"Chicken!" Melody mumbled, as she walked off to the market.
* * * * *
Jareth sighed, and made his way into the small kitchen. He picked up the heavy load of dishes, and made his way down to the river. The town always looked nice this time of year, he thought. 'Funny, that I remember this town, but not who I am.' He chuckled at that.
He walked contently down the little dirt road that wound in and out of the houses. Soon, he had a trail of animals following him.
"Odd..." He said aloud, as he noticed the parade of animals behind him. He shrugged ,and kept walking. Finnally when he had reached the rivers edge, he placed the tub on the ground. He held his lower back, wincing." I'm gonna feel this tommorow..."
He sat on the ground, and started washiiong the dishes clean with the rag he had brought with him. The parade of animals sat all around him, as if he was thier master.
"What do you all find so interesting?" he asked.
Of course the animals didn't answer, just sat there, staring at him with their dark eyes. Jareth noticed that most of the animals were birds;Owls. On flew over, and sat on his shoulder,hooing into his ear softly. Jareth almost jumped a foot in the air. he swore to god that the Owl had just said something. Turning to face it, he whispered,"What did you say?"
The Owl seemed to smile, "I said, Its time for you to return home Jareth."
Jareth sat there stunned. "Jareth? Is that my name?"
The owl nodded, and spoke slowly,as if he was speaking to a child."My name is Seth..I am your brother."
"My Brother? I see now..that is why the name Seth seemed familiar to me...What brings you here brother?"
"I've come tobring you home. You do not belong with these..these..PEASENTS! You are my right hand man Jareth. You belong at your home, with me at my castle."
Jareth nodded dumbly,"How do I get there?"
Seth flew off Jareth's shoulder."Just transform into an owl!"
Jareth still looked confused..."How do I do that?"
Seth rolled his eyes, "With magic nim-I mean..brother." He plastered a fake smile on his beak.
"oh..."Jareth said quietly. Concentrating hard, he spread out his arms, and sprouting many feathers of pure white. Looking up to the clouds, he let out a shrill cry, and took off from the ground, fully transformed.
Seth, and the other Owls, flew up also."Now Jareth, just follow me."
Jareth grinned. he was finnally going home.
* * * * *
Seth just couldn't stop smiling. He had been in Ninaki for the annual festival they held, when he had caught sight of a man who looked identical to his brother. He had flown over to the man, to find that it was his brother! Seth had follwed Jareth around that whole day. It did not take Seth long to realize that Jareth, his worst enemy, had lost all memory of his reign as Goblin King. This was just *TOO* easy! he had thought. all he had to do was trick Jareth into thinking that he was a servant of his! Then finally, Seth could transform back into a fae. All he needed,...was Jareths co-operation...
So gratefully, I dedicate this story to my good friend Sarah! ^.^
