Hey all. This is a short chapter. But yet again, I have my reasons. It's
a set up for the next chapter. That's all I'm going to say ;-) Enjoy this
short chapter!
~The company landed and started to make their way to the Cetran City, which now had orange and red clouds hanging over it. It looked so eerie. The approached the outskirts and in a matter of minutes, they were in the city. In fact, the city that looked dead actually was. The usual bustle and crowds of people were gone. No dog, no children, not one person could be seen down any street they past. This did not stop the group from being armed.
"This is not going to work. We need to split up. Adam is hiding in the palace, in the basement. We need to split into groups of two, and surround him. Here are maps of where you need to go." Lunus said.
With a flick of his wrist, he produced some maps of the city, with the palace in the center and everything marked. Everyone nodded in unison.
"Sarah, you come with me. Amberle and Anthony, you go together. And Sirus and Lunus will be a pair." Jareth said.
They all went their separate ways, none of them feeling very brave.
~Sarah and Jareth got closer and closer to the palace. Jareth's stomach turned with each step. His hatred and horror of Adam eating at him. He looked at Sarah. No sign of any emotion but determination on her face. He envied her so much. She was so brave. One of the things he loved most about her. They made some turns and walked down some more deserted alleyways. They finally got to the palace, to a door covered by brush. At first it wouldn't open. With a few shoves of Jareth and Sarah's strength together, it burst open. They landed in a pitch-black hall. Jareth closed the door and took out a crystal, which glowed in his palm. Sarah held the map up to the glow, and pointed to the direction they were supposed to go.
~They were here. Here in his castle. He wasn't expecting the Fey and Human fools so soon. But now, it was time for Sarah to be his, before he killed the needless beings.
~ The halls were now lit with dim torches. Sarah gave the map to Jareth, to inspect something on the wall. When she suddenly felt something give way under her feet. She tried to scream, but landed in pitch black before she got the chance. She saw a little red light straight ahead of her. It came closer and closer. And then she heard a cold and cruel voice.
"Hello Sarah my sweet."
