Hi I'm back again. Could somebody please tell me what btw means? I'm not exactly up with compu lingo. Thank yooouuu DJinn. Sorry I typed your name wrong in past chapters. Why didn't you ever tell me? If this takes long to be put up it's because the stinking computer won't let me go on the Internet. I don't own Jareth or Labyrinth. I own Leo, Screech, Jartil, and myself. Amanda owns herself. On with the story.
Chapter Eleven: A Rocky RoadI got in my room, closed, and locked the door. Then I sat on my bed, curled up with my knees to my chest, arms around my knees, chin resting on my knees, and cried. Suddenly I felt something land on my shoulder. I looked up to see Screech perched on my shoulder. "Things aren't going well are they hon?" Screech asked.
"No they aren't. By the way the name's Meagan not hon," I said straightening my legs and put my head in my hands.
"What happened now?" asked Screech landing on my knee.
"Well I danced with Jareth."
"And that would be bad because�"
"We got a little intimate. Then I realized what I was doing and yelled at him."
"Now why'd you do that?"
"I know what would happen if we became bound and I really didn't love him. I don't want hurt him more than he's already been."
"You proved you love him by saying that sentence. Now go tell him."
"No! I'm not worthy. I'm a mere mortal, he's a fae, I'm common, and he's royalty. He'll find someone who's more worthy than me."
"He loves you and if you leave you'll destroy everything." I just collapsed on my bed and cried.
I woke up the next day, got dressed, combed my hair, and brushed my teeth. Then I watched a movie called Pumpkinhead. During the movie Jartil the goblin came in. "King Jareth requests you to join him for breakfast," he stated bowing.
"I'm not hungry," I stated frowning. Jartil bowed and left. When the movie ended I turned of the TV and VCR. Then I went out of my room, then out of the castle and into the gardens. I lie on my back in the grass and soaked up the sun. I covered my closed eyes with my right arm and sighed in deep contentment. Then I heard Lady running about and sniffing. I smiled knowing she could go where she liked.
Suddenly I heard footsteps approaching. I lowered my arm, sat up, and looked to my right. I saw Jareth walking towards me with a firm look on his face. "Uh oh," I thought to myself standing up and brushing myself off. Then I started walking in the opposite direction. "Meagan wait!" he shouted. I kept walking as if I didn't hear him. Suddenly he appeared in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest. I stopped and looked him in the face. "Why didn't you eat breakfast?" he asked angrily.
"I wasn't hungry. What do you care?" I asked heatedly.
"I care that you're starving yourself because of your stupid pride," he stated grabbing my shoulders and shaking me lightly.
"I'm not starving myself. I just wasn't hungry this morning," I stated backing out of his grasp.
You're lying!"
"Okay if you want to know the truth fine! I didn't want to eat with a self centered, arrogant, pompous ass like you!" Then I shoved past him and walked away.
When I was alone I lay down on the grass with my right arm over my eyes even though I was in the shade. Suddenly I felt a large, rough tongue brush against my arm. I lowered my arm and saw Lionel's upside-down face in my line of vision. I sat up and turned around to face him. "Hey Meagan what's wrong?" Leo asked.
"How'd you know my name?" I asked.
"Screech told me. Like I said what's wrong?"
"Everything!"
"Why?"
"I'm not worthy of a king. Especially a fae king," I stated. Then I burst out crying. Leo wrapped his paws around me and hugged me. "Whether you know it or not you've proven yourself worthy my friend," Leo stated. I fell asleep in his arms and he carried me to my room.
I woke up at noon with Lady sleeping on my stomach. I sighed and sat up causing Lady to fall onto the bed and wake up. "Grrph," she grumped. I just smiled and ruffled her fur. Then I got out of bed and put in the movie Labyrinth. I snuggled into my bed and watched the movie. Right at the scene where Sarah meets Jareth, Jartil walked in. "If he wants me to join him for lunch tell him to forget it," I growled.
"He wanted me to tell you he would be gone on an errand and to feel free to eat in the dining room," Jartil stated. I nodded and followed Jartil to the dining room.
After I ate lunch I went back to my room and began to read the book Desperation. I also listened to Korn: Untouchables while I read. Absolutely nothing could penetrate my cocoon of fantasy and music. Except the disturbing thoughts of love toward Jareth and wanting to heal the wound in his heart Sarah gave him. Finally I gave up and shut the book. Then I took out a pen and paper and began to write. After awhile I gave up on this too and just sat back and listened to the music that was soothing to me. When the CD ended I took off my headphones and placed my portable CD player and headphones on my desk. Then I left my room and went into the garden. Once I was in the garden I saw Jareth walking hand in hand with Sarah. Then I saw them turn to eachother and kiss. That's all it took for me to go back in the castle.
Phew that took long. Plz review like good people. Even flames would be appreciated at this point. I know I'm desperate.
