CHAPTER 4
Jareth sat in his throne room with the women, Zeira, who is also his bride to be. Jareth didn't know why he loved her, he knows that he just did. To Jareth, he felt that Zeira had the power to give him eyerything that he wanted from a woman. 'Didn't she?' Thought Jareth.
Other thought were going through Zeira's mind at the moment. All she wanted to do was sit on his lap and smother him with all her charm. They had been sitting his his throne room for about an hour. They didn't seem to talk much, but their silence held a conversation of it's own.
"Jareth?" Zeira said finally breaking the silence.
Though he knew that she was going to ask about Sarah, because of the way she was staring at his glass ball, he answered her anyway. "Yes Zeira? Some thing wrong?" He gave her a questioning look.
"No, not at all. But I want to know, who is she, the girl you're watching? You seem interested in watching this one. You don't love her do you? Because you know very well that you and I are engaged." She tried to look as concerned as possible, Jareth gave in.
"Come now, she is just an-" He stopped, then continued. "Just an old friend. She had come here once before, three years ago. She had sommoned me to come steal her brother away. When I did, she said she didn't mean it, but you know the rules. So, she went through the Labyrinth." He stopped there, not wanting to admit that he, the King of Goblins, was defeted by a mear 15 year old mortal. When he turned to look at Zeria, he saw that she was waiting for an ending, her look was so peircing that he blurted it out without knowing it. "And then she defeted me. She said those six words, those six damn words!" Jareth threw the glass ball at the door, but it was to strong to smash, so all it showed was Sarah finding the birdbrained goblin.
Zeria could tell that Jareth needed to be alone, so she kissed his forehead and walked out. "I can see you would like some space, so I'm going to talk with Ratims for a while. I'll come back later when you've had time to think." She turned around, when she reached the door, she smiled evilly to herself, everything was going just the way it was planned.
Jareth looked up and smiled slightly and thanked her. When Zeria left the room, he picked his ball back up and watched Sarah continue her search for the gems.
*~*
Sarah came out of a pot that was next to a stone seat on the ground. She took a quick look around and it came to her like a flash. She was in the same place where she and Hoggle had me that bird, man gobl- "The birdbrain! He's got the next gem! Wait, first I wanna see what this piece of paper is. Oh, a note let's see..
"Sorry Sarah, but if I had said it out loud,
Jareth would have heard me. To answer
your question, no, the Labyrinth does not
constantly change. Because you think it to,
the Labyrinth seems to change in your eyes.
Don't ask how, Jareth put a spell on it to do
that. I like you Sarah, you're nice, so I'm gonna
give you fair warning...Find the gems fast,
there's trouble at the castle, and Jareth may
need your help. Good luck.
-Rat-"
"Ah-ha! So that's it." Sarah thought to herself. "Now there's no way he can keep me from getting to him. Let's see if I can't find that birdbrained goblin, maybe he's still around."
Sarah walked around. She almost gave up any hope she had of finding him. Suddenly she heard a familiar insulting voice.
"Rah! You're such a birdbrain you aged oaf!"
She turned around to the fast talking voice. It was him! She could get the next gem!
"Excuse me little girl," Said the man and not the bird. "But would you mind moving, you're right infront of my-"
"ahc-hem!" The bird interupted.
"Uh, our, chair. Ah, thank you very much. By any chance, do I, uh, we know you? You seem very familiar?
The bird perked up and looked Sarah up and down, not in an pervertish way, but as if trying to remember. "Ahh, yiss yiss! She's the one who gave us the red gemmed ring. Do ye remember it, the one she gave us three years back, you bumble-headed fool?"
"Hm, now let me see. Oh yes, I remember! There's one other problem." He looked as if he was going to start to blush, so Sarah piped up.
"And what would that be Sir?"
"Come now, none of that Sir stuff, call me Kersie. Any way, I was told to do something for you, but I can't seem to remember, can you Swaz?"
Swaz, who was his feathered other half, couldn't belive that his stupid comrad. "Yiss Kers, I belive that I can remember something so simple, thank you!" Swaz snorted as he craned his long neck and picked up a small bag. which he took the ring out of. He tossed it to Sarah. "Here ye are Sarah. Your next gem is the purple one in the biggest birds nest."
"Haha! Thank you so very much. Could you by any chance tell me where I could find the purple gem?"
This time Kersie knew how to answer. "Ah yes, head tward the bog of eternal stench. Sir Didymus knows the great bird. He'll show you."
"Sir Didymus, oh I havn't seen him in the past three years. Oh I do hope he's doing fine. Good bye Swaz! Good bye Kersie!"
Sarah headed tward the bog. She was excited for two reasons, one she gets to see Sir Didymus, and two, she'll be just one more step closer to Jareth. But something was bothering her. What was the trouble that Jareth was in. "I have to hurry!"
Jareth sat in his throne room with the women, Zeira, who is also his bride to be. Jareth didn't know why he loved her, he knows that he just did. To Jareth, he felt that Zeira had the power to give him eyerything that he wanted from a woman. 'Didn't she?' Thought Jareth.
