Thanks to all my reviewers and especially to Xaviere Jade!
As before- I own nothing, so you'll just have to take an I.O.U. if you want to sue me :P
Taymos continued staring at Jareth, his eyes intently on Jareth's. Jareth continued staring out the window unknowing of his stare. Taymos' eyes were a light yellow with oval pupils that made you swear he was related to a cat. He decided to break the silence.
"Wh-what makes you think I want your kingdom anyway?" Jareth turned towards him and removed his black cape and dropped it on the ground.
"I don't know, it could be the fact you drop tiny hints such as 'Jareth, when ARE you going to retire anyway?' And that sort of thing. You aren't as clever as you think you are." Jareth put his arms on his hips and stood watching Taymos' reaction.
"Jareth, you know that's simply not true. I've been your friend for hundreds of years. You know I was kidding around. You take life too seriously." Taymos shook his head looking at Jareth. He however continued to stand, shifting his position from hands on hips to crossing his arms, but he continued staring at Taymos. Taymos shifted his position on his feet and cleared his throat "Jareth, I came to talk about Draigel. She is a fine girl, why have you held off your wedding for this long?"
Jareth moved uneasily. "Because I don't love her, Taymos. She is very beautiful, but I can't just have a life with someone for all eternity that agrees with everything I say. She stays silent unless I speak to her first, she seems to be uninterested with me, and if I do want to even start a conversation, she keeps luring me into bed like she wants to shut me up."
Taymos shuddered at the thought "Did you ever disscuss this with her?" Taymos gritted his teeth as he held his hands up to try to prove his point. Taymos turned quickly as he saw a tiny goblin step into the room. She looked to be nothing more than a waddling neon green furball with cords for antennas with hot pink cotton balls at the end.
"Sorry Sirs! But, Madame Draigel is here and waiting in the main hall." Jareth looked at Taymos and Taymos at Jareth.
"Well, we mustn't keep her waiting then, must we Twinnel?" Jareth turned and dissappeared and a shower of glitter took his place where he stood on the floor. Twinnel moved as fast as her feet could carry her over to the door. She tried her best not to be anywhere near Taymos. Taymos stomped his feet over to Twinnel and before She could move, he field-goaled her across the room and into the stone wall behind her.
Twinnel had a humongus headache as she tried to stand up, just to have her stomach meet up with the steel-toe of Taymos's boot. Twinnel got the wind knocked out of her. Why was he beating her up of all people?
Jareth came hurriedly walking down the hall to Twinnel's aide. "Twinnel, are you alright?" Jareth's concern showed in his voice. Taymos looked disgusted as Jareth carefully looked Twinnel over to make sure she was ok. "What happened to you?" Jareth's eyes now had teal eyeshadow over them and he was dressed in all white clothes. The poets shirt framed his nice lean body perfectly and his pants seemed as though they were tights that molded into every curve being a little TOO revealing. Twinnel looked over scared of Taymos, and Taymos raised a fist at his side and glared back.
"Nothing, sire. I tripped."
&&&&&A little while after dinner&&&&&&
Taymos walked down the dimly lit hall to the balcony outside of the throne room. A woman in a Victorian dress, waited in the moonlight. Her hair waved in the slight wind and her earrings framed her face and jingled in the night air. Taymos approached her and moved his hand to trace her jaw and pulled her in tightly by her waist, and kissed her. Twinnel walked by the window and saw the sillohuette of the couple and became suspicious. She cracked open the glass and walked into the shadows behind a pillar.
"So, how are you Draigel, my love?" Taymos looked at her and put his hands on the balcony's railing. Draigel stepped forward.
"Frightful. I wish you'd hurry and get Jareth out of the way. I'm so tired of acting like I'm interested and hopelessly devoted and in love with him." She motioned her hands and crossed them over her heart.
"Soon. I have to get Jareth to believe I'm trying to help him, then and only then, will we be able to get him at his volnerable time." Taymos answered and sealed his words with another kiss. It wasn't long before Draigel broke the kiss and stepped back.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Taymos's eyes seemed to glow reflecting the diamonds that Draigel was covered from head-to-toe in.
"You remember hearing about that mortal girl Sarah?" Taymos waited for an answer from Draigel.
She finally responded with "Yes. I'm much prettier than that mortal though." Taymos took Draigel's slender hand and twirled her around as though they were dancing. He suddenly dipped her down.
"Well, what if I were to tell you, she will not survive the next task?" Draigel merely laughed and looked him deeply in the eyes
"My little genious..." She lowly muttered as they engaged in another kiss.
Twinnel headed back inside. But when she pushed the glass shut, a tiny sound gave off her presence. Taymos quickly released Draigel and stood with his hands behind his back. He raced towards the glass and looked inside.
"Who was it?" Draigel looked frightened.
"It was that damn goblin, Twinnel. I think she was out here. No matter. I'll take care of her."
Twinnel hurried up the stairs and tripped on the third step and rolled back down to the first step. She quickly brushed it off and went back to going up them. There was no way she was going to let Taymos hurt Jareth. She'd have to be dead first. She panted and continued running. She hurt and was very tired, but she knew what she had to do. She'd have to be dead before she let something happen to Jareth. '5 more to go...3 more...1 more step' Twinnel kept herself going. And threw herself ontop of the last stair panting heavily. She tried crawling to Jareth's door and just as she reached infront of Jareth's door, her face came in contact with a black boot. She stopped breathing and looked up slowly. Her eyes came in caontact with Taymos'.
"Hello. And where, are you, going?" He said it slowly to be intimidating to the tiny goblin. It worked.
With that he smirked slightly "Now, I've got a riddle for you. What do you do with a hideous little creature that's going to tell on you?" He tapped his foot on her head lightly.
"Um...let the little creature go?" She asked hopefully.
"In your case, I'm afraid not..."
Dumdumdum! Alas, yet another cliff hanger! And who knows? After this there may be another and another and another! Until I come to my senses!...I'm still wondering when that will be. But most likely, SOMEBODY is going to get hurt in this. And somebody you least expect, is going to be coming to the rescue...
Or so Yoda says...
