4. Glimps of the past

As the clock chimed 12 times, Jareth appeared in front of the sleeping Sarah. Apparently she had fallen asleep while waiting for Jareth to arrive. He really didn't want to wake her up. She was looking so peaceful. But he had to, so he bend over and kissed her nose. The brunette stirred and slowly her eyes were opening. He could see her smiling at him.

"You're finally here, I have been waiting for you forever." She said giving him another of her most dazling smiles.

"Are you ready? Just give me your hand." Sarah gave him her hand and stood up. He laid his arms around her waiste and before sarah could realise it, she was at the same place she was 10 years ago. Before her eyes lay the labyrinth. It was simply breathtaking. She wondered why it didn't look this beautiful ten years ago. Looking down from the hill Sarah saw Hoggle, he hadn't changed a bit and was still dusting faeries. Before Jareth could realise it, Sarah had torn away from his grasp.

Running down the hill, Sarah called out for Hoggle. Hoggle turned around slowly and couldn't believe his eyes. This was not possible, but there she was. Sarah grabbed him into a tight hug. "How is this possible? How come your back? If Jareth did something to you, if jareth tricked you into coming back here, I will kill him!" Hoggled burst out. "No, he didn't, I've actually come to live here for a month." As Sarah spoke he could see twinkling in her eyes.

"I have a spare bedroom in my house, you can live there if you want, it will be so much fun, we'll be roommates" Hoggles said very excited. "euhm, I'm actually staying in the castle, with Jareth.", "With jareth? He's holding you prisoner isn't he, let me at him, I'll tare his head of!", "No Hoggle, I'm not a prisoner, I'm his euhm, his girlfriend and I love him" She could see Hoggles eyes growing large, at one point she thought they would fall out of his head. "You're his girlfriend? But you two don't like eachother, this is not possible" Hoggles still looked shaken up by what Sarah said a minute earlier.

"You should know what 10 years do to a relationship, Hoggle, I have to go, Jareth is waiting for me" and before Hoggle could say another word, she ran off.

"So are you ready to go to the castle, my lady?" Sarah nodded at Jareth, but suddenly looked panicky, "We aren't going to have to find our way through the entire labyrinth again, are we? If we are, your going to be in so much trouble mister." Jareth chuckled at what she just said. "Just give me your hand again" he said. And before sarah's eyes she saw the entrance of the castle.

"Welcome home, my queen" Jareth whispered in her ear. She smiled again. It did feel like coming home, she didn't know what was happening to her, but she started thinking about how she never want to leave the underground ever again.

They walked inside the castle, the first thing she noticed was how there were less goblins in the throne room. But before she could think about it further, she was taken by surprise when jareth kissed her, ever so gently. "You know what", he whispered "I love you.", she kissed him back and when letting his face go, she let out an 'I love you' to jareth too.

The Goblin King took the brunettes hand and led her up to a stairs. "Where are we going?" sarah asked supsiciasly. "I'm taking you up to your room. It's late and you need to get some rest. There's gonna be a long day ahead tomorrow and you're going to need all the rest you can get. In the morning I will send a servant up to help you get ready. Now go and sleep my darling." he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He led her further down along a dark corridor. Jareth stopped before a big oak door. He led Sarah inside. Her Mouth dropped in awe. It was simply gorgeous, she never saw a room this beautifull. A large four-poster bed stood in front of her with dark red silk covers. It was a circular room. On her right stood a dressing table with a large mirror, which was decorated with dragons, they curled around the oval sized mirror. Next to her bed stood a small table with a lamp on it with the same decorations as the mirror. On her left was a closet. In oak, when she opened it, she saw numorous gowns in every color, she never saw dresses that look this beautiful. Next to the closet was a door which led to the bathroom, it was simply huge. A round tub stood in the centre of the room with golden taps. on the right stood a marble table/cupboard, on it stood several colourfull bottles, and again there was a dragon mirror.

She couldn't utter one word. Jareth saw how happy Sarah was and he hugged her tightly. "Now sleep me darling Sarah, I will see you in the morning." He kissed her on the forehead. Turned around, but before he could leave sarah took his hand and Said "Please stay with me tonight.", "I'm sorry my darling but I can't, I would keep you up and you really need to get some sleep. I will stay with you tomorrow night and every night after that. You will thank me for this, although I'm not sure if i'm making the right decision." he let out in a chuckle. Sarah nodded Kissed him deeply and let him go. He left the room.

Sarah was actually very tired, she took one look in the closet and saw that their were some dressing gowns, she put one on and slid beneath the dark red covers of the bed. A moment later she was already asleep.
