What if Part II The Nightmare
By
Melissa aka Angle 1
Nikko did not like the situation, not at all. She was still hiding behind the throne when Sydney had made her exit and Tomas followed. Nikko was torn between finding her master, or helping her mistress remember just how much she was wanted. Upon hearing the argument continue up stairs, Nikko decided to remain by her mistress's side.
Nikko bolted up the stairs and entered Sydney's room just as Tomas started his speech. Sydney had placed the bed between her and Tomas, and she did not look happy at his intrusion.
" If you do anything to hurt Jareth.and I know you will. then you'll die, nothing can change that. I have tried to reason with my son, but he refused to hear me out. Now I want to reason with you, let me take you away from here, I'll take you back to your home where you belong. Think about it, how many days since you got here have you been happy?"
Sydney thought for a second, She had been here a total of six days; of those days only two were truly happy for her. But now that she and Jareth were seeing eye to eye, everything would be as it should, right? But suddenly Sydney was not so sure, yet she didn't care. She knew that if she went back home she would regret it for the rest of her life, { which would be rather short} she would always be asking " what if " what if she had stayed and made things fit between her and the Goblin King. What if she didn't give up? What if she had the happiest life here with him?
" I'm sorry Tomas," she said, hoping that an apology would be enough for him, and knowing that it wouldn't be. " I understand what you trying to do for me and for Jareth, but I truly believe that it will be different for us, that we will be truly happy together."
Tomas didn't take her explanation well. " It does not matter what you say, you are coming with me, and your going home."
Nikko couldn't handle staying silent any longer, she rushed into the room and hoped on the bed. " No Sydney, you must not let him take you. If you are thrown over the edge of the Underground you can never come back, never." Tomas cried out furiously and lunged for the tiny goblin. Nikko dodged him and continued, " Master will not even be able to talk with you, loosing you will destroy him-." Nikko was cut off when Tomas finally grabbed hold of Nikko and held her out at arms length to avoid being hit or kicked by her.
" Dumb little thing for a privileged goblin isn't she." He laughed.
" You put her down right this minute!" Sydney said walking to the other side of the bed. Tomas backed away, still smiling at the struggling goblin in his hand.
" Yes I will put her down, I don't think I would want to carry her around with me. But I don't want her running off to warn my son." Sydney didn't even have time to act, when right in front of her, Tomas pitched Nikko into the air and she slammed up against the stonewall. Her tiny body fell to the floor as limp as a rag doll, she lay there silent and not moving.
" NIKKO!" Sydney screamed in horror and lunged out for her, but Tomas moved faster and caught Sydney around the waist and held her with strength almost matching that to Jareth's. Sydney struggled against him, wanting to help Nikko. " Nikko! No Nikko!" She sobbed as Tomas dragged her out of the room, clamping one hand over her mouth to silence her.
Sydney couldn't believe it, but Tomas had managed to drag her out of the castle without being seen by one living thing. The guards must have still been sleeping off the party from the night before. The only person who knew what Tomas was going to do was little Nikko and she was hurt, perhaps dead. If Jareth came home now he would not have any idea as to what was going on. She struggled with all her might, but her mortal strength was nothing compared to Tomas. Of course when Jareth did come home he would find Nikko, and the other goblins would tell him that they had seen Tomas talking with her. Jareth would put the two together and he would know something was up. But if Nikko were unable to tell him what, Jareth would never reach her in time.
' Jareth where are you? JARETH'
"Jareth just about had enough with Oswin's run around, he had been in the cave for over four hours and he had a funny feeling in the back of his head and he wanted to get back to Sydney as soon as possible. But he was not leaving without the information he knew Oswin had. At the moment Oswin was rambling on about who he thought could have entered the cave and let free the dream, but Jareth had long tuned him out and was rubbing his head, trying to get rid of the dull ache. He had tried to be patient and reasonable but finally he snapped, " Damn it Oswin!" he roared, taking hold of the goblin by his flowing robes and lifting him up off the ground and staring him in the eye. " Tell me who told you to set the dream free! And one more lie and you'll find your cave at the bottom to the Bog of Eternal Stench! And don't think that I wont!"
" You father, your father, he told me to, he commanded me to set it free. I didn't want to but he made me, forgive my weakness your Majesty forgive me." Oswin wailed at the top of his lungs.
" My father?" Jareth dropped Oswin and he fell with a thud to the floor. Suddenly it all made perfect sense. He should have known all along, Yet Jareth still hoped that his father would have just let things be, but no. He wanted Sydney gone to begin with, because Jareth had refused him, his father took matters into his own hands. All Sydney's pain had been because of him. " Damn you Tomas." Jareth growled under his breath, his leather gloves creaked as he clenched his hands into fists. Oswin recovered from the fall and backed away, watching his King's power flow around him in his anger. Suddenly the Goblin King was gone, leaving behind a very shaken up goblin.
Jareth stormed into the throne room and threw himself into his throne, he sat and fumed away his anger at his father.it took him a whole minute to realize that he was all-alone. Looking around at the deserted room he spotted several pairs of eyes looking at him from behind the doors. " Well come out all of you, I'm not angry with you." He shot at them. He sat back in his throne and tugged at his gloves. Several goblins approached him and tried to tell him something but they were too nervous to even look him in the eyes. " Well out with what you have to say." He said toning down his anger.
" Majesty.well um," One goblin started, but another jumped in.
" Your father was here today."
" Tomas was here?" Jareth sat up suddenly.
" And he was talking to Sydney and they were fighting and we left before we could see what happened." Another said in a rushed voice.
" Sydney." Jareth whispered. He leapt from the throne and bolted up the stairs to Sydney's room and threw open the door. She wasn't here, Jareth was just about to turn and go to his own room when he spotted something on the floor against the far wall.
" NIKKO!" Jareth rushed over to Nikko and reached out, almost too afraid to move her. Jareth finally picked her limp body up and cradled her in his arms. She was broken and bloody, barely a trace of life was left in her. But she was still alive. Jareth called out for some one to bring him the goblin healer and he left for his own room. He gently put Nikko down on his bed and used his own power to heal her. He could almost hear her bones snapping back into place, but his power could only do so much for Nikko, for she was not connected with him, as Sydney would have been.
"M..Master." Nikko whispered faintly.
" Nikko, Nikko It's Master I'm here" Jareth's heart just about broke when she curled her tiny hand around his thumb and struggled to open her eyes.
" S-Sydney." She whispered again. Jareth leaned closer to her.
" What is it Nikko, what about Sydney," Jareth dreaded the answer.
" She w-was taken.by Tomas.to the e-edge." With that last sentence Nikko shut her eyes and fell into a pain induced sleep. Jareth bowed his head, Sydney was taken, were? Nikko said to the edge, the edge of what the Labyrinth.the Underground? Suddenly the healer burst into the room and Jareth backed off and allowed the goblin to do his job.
Anger pulsed throughout Jareth as he stormed out of his room and down the stairs into his throne room. Two precious people had been hurt because of his father; Jareth wanted nothing more than to give his father the thrashing he deserved. If he forces Sydney over the edge of the Underground and out of his life forever, Jareth would not be responsible for his actions. Reaching the throne room He made a beeline straight to the main window that over looked the Labyrinth. He hopped on the sill and braced himself on the sides.
" TOMAS!" he screamed, hearing his voice boom across the entire maze and beyond. " TOMAS WHEN I FIND YOU, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU."
