Chapter 8: The Eyes of Evil

Sarah stopped when she heard Destiny's words.

"Why is Miss Elaine recovering?" Daire asked.

"Because..." Sarah said carefully, "Jareth hurt her, Daire..." Sarah didn't notice the way all the girls around her shifted nervously. Not one of them dared call the King by his given name. How could this woman dare so much and get away with it?

Daire's eyes welled up with tears... "You mean we can't see her?"

Destiny felt her heart softening at the sight of the boy near tears. How did these boys get to one's heart so quickly?

"Certainly you may see her. Just be careful, ok?" Destiny said with a smile. She was rewarded with tentative smiles from Daire and Darien as she led them to the door the first girl had been sitting by.

As Sarah and her boys entered, Destiny walked over to the bed and placed a gentle hand on Elaine's arm.

"You have visitors, Elaine..." she whispered. Destiny piled some pillows behind Elaine's back so she could sit up more.

"Miss Elaine!" Daire exclaimed as he came over to the side of the bed... "Are you ok?"

"I'll be ok soon, Daire," Elaine said with a smile hoping to reassure the boys.

"You still love Jesus right?" Daire asked with such an expression of worry that Elaine had to smile.

"I'll always love Jesus, Daire."

"Good! Cause Auntie Cat used to tell us that when people hurt us we had to be strong and remember we loved Jesus. If we didn't remember, Auntie Cat said we might do bad things cause we'd forgotten how Jesus would act!" Again Elaine was tempted to laugh. But now it was Darien's turn...

"Miss Elaine, why did Jareth hurt you?" The boy's question was said quietly, but he was in earnest...

"He was trying to hurt your mother by hurting one of her friends, Darien..." Elaine responded her eyes downcast.

"Alright boys that's enough now," Sarah said. Her boys were perfect gentlemen at times, but at others they had a serious lack of tact. Destiny volunteered to entertain the boys since it seemed to her that Elaine would like to speak to Sarah alone. Destiny could tell from the way Elaine had glanced repeatedly to Sarah during the boys' questioning. After Daire and Darien had left the room with Destiny, Elaine broke down in tears with Sarah.

"Oh, Sarah it was horrible!" she cried as Sarah moved to sit beside her so she could hug her friend. Elaine rested her head on Sarah's shoulder to cry her tears. "I understood last night how you felt years ago! If I didn't know about Christ in you, I would never understand how you changed."

"I know, Elaine..." Sarah replied quietly. "Jareth is so changed it makes me wonder if I really knew him at all those years ago when we first met... But God has been gracious to me. My children are beautiful. I couldn't have asked for better!"

"You were right though," Elaine said softly hiccuping now that her tearful outburst had passed. "You were right when you described your attacker as the Eyes of Evil... The memory that stands out most from last night is that icy stare when I first realized that he was going to rape me!"

At the mention of Elaine's pain, Sarah's thoughts flew to her own secret pain... The Eyes of Evil!

Sarah's life seemed to be in it's prime! She was twenty-one and doing well in her college life. She had earned much of the money that was putting her through school since her father wasn't much help and she hadn't even heard from her mother in a couple years other than birthday presents and a card. She was walking back to her dorm that night from a meeting of the writing club she belonged to. It was an organization at her college for fledgling authors. Though she was walking on a brightly-lit pathway, she didn't notice the shadow she had acquired...

Suddenly Sarah's mind was torn violently from her thoughts as she was whirled around and a gloved hand clamped over her mouth. She struggled, but her attacker was very strong. Her eyes widened when she saw the eyes of the man. The rest of his features were hidden beneath a black ski mask, and his body was clothed all in black as well. He had black leather gloves on she noticed within a split second preventing her from biting his hand to free her voice for screaming. But it was his eyes that truly scared her. They were two different shades of blue just as the Goblin King in her dream had! But these eyes were greedily drinking in her form with an unwanted passion glowing brightly. The man was going to rape her! Sarah struggled even more violently, but was soon knocked unconscious with a blow to the head.

Sarah woke up dazed and only gradually noticed that she had no clothes on. Suddenly her mind was clear although she had a frightful headache. She tried to sit up then noticed that she was bound. Her hands were tied to the headboard above her, and her legs had been tied so they were spread apart to the corners of the footboard. Her mouth had been gagged to the point that all she could do was breath. Then she noticed her attacker was in the room as well. Her heart leapt into her throat with fear. He was also completely devoid of clothing except for a mask to hide his face and hair.

"Ah welcome back sleeping beauty!" he said with an obviously disguised voice. "Do you have any idea how hard it has been to not touch you while I waited for you to awaken?" She was trembling as he came to her side. He straddled her and Sarah stiffened at the skin to skin contact. "Now, none of that! This is the fun part!" Sarah saw his ice blue eyes shining through his black mask and shut her eyes tightly. They opened again in horror as she felt him playing with her chest. Slowly the man lowered his mouth to her young breast and sucked on her swirling his tongue around her then he moved to the other one. "Ah, you taste good!" Sarah wished she could scream with fury as he trailed his tongue from her chest to her stomach. Then she felt his fingers reach between them to massage between her legs. She strained against her bonds to keep him away, but he'd fastened her securely. She felt his finger slip inside of her. Her body reacted though her mind was screaming! After torturous moments he removed his finger only to follow with tasting her. He could hear her muffled scream of anger. "Oh, I suppose you want the best part then..." She shook her head straining hard against her bonds. He was on top of her once more poised and ready. She didn't realize what was coming until he drove inside of her... hard! He broke through the barrier of her virginity and began a rhythmic pumping motion. Her young body was strained against him, but gradually she weakened from so much fighting. She felt his rhythm increase to a frenzy before she felt a rush within her body. His form relaxed then he removed himself and got up. Putting his clothes back on, he left her dazed and hollow. So weak from fighting her assailant, she didn't see the blow coming...

Police called in to search for Sarah found her in a crumpled heap on the sidewalk. The same place she'd been abducted from... As she was loaded into an ambulance her last dazed glance before oblivion overtook her noticed a soaring black hawk high in the sky overhead...

"Remember what you told me at the hospital?" Elaine asked breaking her from her pained memories. "You said his eyes were cold as ice..."

"...and sickeningly hot with passion..." Sarah finished.

"Sarah... what if Jareth is the father of your boys?" Elaine finally had the courage to ask.

"I don't think it was him, Elaine," Sarah said after a few moments of thought. "Why would Jareth conceal his face if I could see his eyes? He would know I would recognize him. Jareth also wouldn't have to worry about my telling anyone who it was. In our world they would have laughed me right into a mental hospital!"

Elaine could see the sense of Sarah's arguments. "But if it wasn't him, who was it?"

"I don't know Elaine..." Sarah replied quietly, "I just don't know..."
