Chapter Six: The Library and the Unexpected Event
"Sarah!!! How nice to finaly see you in person!"As Sarah was walking back to her room from the kitchens, a strange old lady started speaking to her.
"Okay... I'm really starting to get tired of everyone knowing exactly who I am! I have no clue who you are even and you probably know everything about me!"
"So the little girl does have a defiance streak in her. Jareth had told us you did, but as from what I've seen of you, it hadn't shown. If anything you were meek and timid!"
"Who are you?" The lady was right. Sarah hadn't exactly been herself lately. She was just so shocked and tired and was trying to get used to this new place. She just wanted to go home!
"Who I am's not important deary..." She mumbled, reminding Sarah very much of the junk lady she had met in her last visit here.
"Oohh!! Will you people just leave me alone already! I'm tired of everyone knowing so much about me! It's unnerving!" Sarah shouted.
"Sorry dear, but you really must get used to it. You'll be here for a while after all dear."
"Stop calling me dear! I hate this place! I want to go home!"
"Oh! Sarah!" Dawn called from behind them. Sarah's anger dropped severely. Finally! Someone who she could taslk to that would understand!
"Hello Dawn..." Sarah said. The lady, who, Sarah noticed, also looked liek a gypsy, slipped away.
"What's wrong? I heard you arguing with someone..."
"Oh... It's just kind of un-nerving to havbe everyone know you when you don't know them... I'm just kind of tired of it. I guess I'm just kind of irritable today." Sarah said.
"That's alright! We all have our days!" Dawn seemed so cheerful today.
"That we do..." Sarah said in agreement.
"So... Where are you going?" Dawn asked.
"I'm not sure. I'm just wandering I guess..."
"Oh... Alright. Do you want to visit the library or something?" She asked. Jareth had tipped her off earlier, telling her that Sarah would enjoy the huge library the palace held.
"Sure! Where's it at?"
"Okay... You go down that hall..." She said, pointing down the hallway on the left. "Then turn right... And then walk past three doors and the fourth one is it."
"Okay... Thanks..." Sarah said, then ran off the way Dawn had told her. She wanted to look some things up on the fairies and all the magical lore. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to know.
She followed Dawn's directions exactly and went right into the room. The library was huge. She didn't know where to start looking. So, she walked along the pathway in between the aisles of book shelves. She looked at the lables on the sides and noticed most would not have been found at your normal district library. There were lables like herb lore, spellcraft, divination, creatures, mystical beings, and those were only a few of the ever odd lables.
Sarah decided it would be best to go with a nice section labled Fairies. If they had a whole section to themselves, they had to be pretty important. Right?
"Hmmn... What in the world would Jareth need so many books for?" Sarah wonder aloud. It's not as if anyone else was in the library with her. So no one could hear her talking to herself.
She grabbed several books and stacked them in her arms. One was titled, 'Fairies and Their True origin'. Another was 'Fairy Magic. What They Hide From Us All.'
Sarah didn't think those to would be particulary helpful, but just wanted to check anyways. She did, how ever, think that the book titled 'The Most Powerful Fairy Bloodline Begins Again with...' The last word had been blotched out with ink or some other dark substance. But it sounded as if it would help her. She didn't want to really stay here to read the books, but wasn't sure if she wsa allowed to. So she sat at a near by table and opened a book.
Sarah got through three books, skimming over the contents pages and over the pages the held topics that she thought she would need to know. She didn't beleive that she was a fairy. But the picture of that girl had intrigued her. It was almost as if it willed her to learn about them.
"Hello, little sister..." A voice said, making Sarah jump. She hadn't heard anyone enter.
"Oh... Aidan... You frightened me... I wasn't expecting anyone else to be here..." "That's alright... Sorry I frightened you, little sister... " He had a nickname for her now. "So... You're interested in the history of the fairies after all..." He said, noticing what she was reading about.
"Yeah... I figured, I'll be here for three months... I may as well know somethings about things..."
"Ohhhh..." He said. "Hey... Come here a minute... I've something I'd like to show you... A... A section of books I'd like to show you."
"O...kay" She said following him to the back of the room.
"Here it is... This has all of the history on all of the Queens that have ever ruled... That's the front of the aisle... The back of the aisle tells of the Queens that will rule in the future..."
"So... Why'd you show me this?"
"Little sister... There was no real reason for it... I just wanted you back here. With me" And with that, he kissed her. Not a small lip touch, then break apart kiss. A real kiss... A deep pasionate, breath- taking, kiss.
When they broke apart Sarah turned away. She was mistified...She hadn't wanted it to end... Yet she had at the same time... That was very rude... Sarah, although, couldn't tell him what she thought he was gone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unknown to the two of them, Jareth had witnessed their little event. He wasn't angy...
"Excellent... Everything iss going exactly as planned..." He whispered to himself, as he continued to watch Sarah through his crystal balls.
