Chapter 3
Lisa looked up sharply when she heard the knock at the door. She didn't say anything; her eyes watched the door intensely. Lisa caught her breath as the door slowly open and Jareth entered.
"How are you today Lisa" Jareth asks warmly. Lisa said nothing her eyes are red and puffy from crying. Jareth get closer to her. "Why are you crying?"
"I want to go home" she says softly
"You can't, and I'm sorry." Jareth would truly let her go if he could, because it is breaking his heart to see her like this. He wants nothing more than for her to be happy and if she not happy here he did not know what to do. Jareth gets a little closer slowly whipping away some tears falling from her eyes. His touch, the feel of his gloved hand on her cheek send shivers through Lisa. What was going on? Why did he make her feel like this? He made her feel something new. Something she never felt before.
"Get out" she said coldly. Jareth pulled back his hand. "Get out!" she said again.
"Fine" he left her room slamming the door behind him. "Damn it all to hell" he walks a little ways down the hall and slams his fist hard into the wall. HE reached his throne room.
Goblins were there and they were the last thing Jareth wanted to see right now. "Get Out" Jareth said in the same cold fashion that Lisa had just done to him. A few Goblins looked up at him. "GET OUT!" he said very loudly. The goblins hurried out of the throne room very fast.
Jareth was alone. He paced back and forth across the throne room. A crystal ball sat on his throne, he picked in up and hurled it across the room into a mall. He screamed as he did so. A scream of hurt and anger. The crystal ball hit the wall and shattered into a million tiny pieces; his heart felt like it did the same.
Sarah was now in her living room, flicking through the channels of the television, noting as she did how there was over 400 channels and still nothing to watch. She sighed as she through the remote on the couch. Looking up she saw a funny little man moving towards her. "Hoggle!" Sarah says happily. But Sarah's happiness slowly faded away when she saw the look on her little friend's face. "What's wrong?" Sarah looks at Hoggle, "What has he done this time?" She knelt down to Hoggle's level.
"He's got her" He wailed
"Got who?" Sarah questioned
"Lisa" he said meekly.
Sarah's eyes widen. She put a hand on his shoulders trying to make a point "Hoggle you have to take there, you have to take me to the underground"
"I..." Hoggle was shaking uncontrollably. He knows that if Jareth were to find out Hoggle would end up head first in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
"Hoggle please, she is my niece, I have to help her."
After many long hours Jareth returns to Lisa's room with a tray of food. His anger slowly faded away, and the feeling of wanting to be near her returned. Jareth knocked on her door softly. Again she did not answer.
"Just give me a chance Lisa" he says in his mind. Jareth slowly opens then door "Lisa" he says softly. He looks around the room to find no one in it. To his surprise she is gone.
