Chapter 3: Who's afraid of the big bad.Goblin King?
Alex closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Clenching her fists, she slowly turned to face her adversary. Before her stood a very tall, silver haired man with the oddest colored eyes she had seen in her life. She didn't want to look into those eyes. Primal instincts of long-dead ancestors confirmed this to be a fact. He was dressed all in black with a billowing cloak. A smirk touched the corner of his mouth. This man was a hunter, no doubt about it.
"Jareth, I presume?" Alex said, trying to sound as confident as possible and lifting her chin. Her ears told her she hadn't quite succeeded in that department.
"I imagine it is safe to assume that you are the lovely Alexandria." he replied. This man was nothing like the almost playful Jareth of the Labyrinth. Everything about him breathed danger beyond imagination. One thing was certain, there was no way on earth or beyond she would let him toy with her as he appeared to be trying to do.
Alex turned away from this being at the sound of a terrified David Bowie slinking away toward the door. Jareth strode past her in a whirl of fabric and silver with an unhuman grace. He knelt and grabbed Bowie by a lock of his unruly hair, lifting him to look in his terrified eyes as if the man weighed nothing at all.
"And where do you suppose you're going David? It's amazing this Henson man actually thought a mortal such as yourself could compare with a Fey such as myself. Why, you are nothing more than a quivering mass of dung." His smile was feral. A faint glow encompassed David's body and he appeared to be in great pain. Alex couldn't be positive because there was no sound coming from his open mouth. She gritted her teeth, a bad habit from her childhood. This was all she could take of this insanity. Alex strode forward, as if in a trance, and grabbed the hand which held David by his hair.
Rage flashed in her eyes as she glared up at the Goblin King.
"You will not hurt this man." She stated. With a strength she didn't know she possessed, she gave a final tug and David was lying on the floor panting. A look of shock, then one of anger showed in Jareth's eyes. The rest of his face was an impenetrable mask.
"My actions are not of your concern girl."
Alex's anger was far from gone. She lifted her chin higher.
"Sorry to bust your bubble your HIGHNESS," she spat the word, "but in the good old United States of America that's called assault.Goblin King or NO." Jareth's fury filled the room, turning it into an emotional furnace.
"Do you still doubt my existence Alexandria? Have you strayed so far from the child you once were?"
Alex carefully stepped over Bowie's now unconscious body. She stood with her hand on the door's brass handle, finally meeting the eyes of this predator her body and soul told her she should fear. Her pride told her otherwise.
"I refuse to have anything more to do with this nonsense." She opened the door and glared at the silver-haired being.
"Oh, and as for dreams and childhood? Welcome to reality Goblin King. Those things died a long time ago. Go find some other poor sap because I'm not buying your crap." Alex closed the door behind her.
A wave of raw power exploded from the house as Alex drove away into the night in her small, red jeep.
No one had ever walked out on Jareth before.
Good? Maybe? Yes? No? I'll try to keep the chapters comin' though they might come faster if you review. Now the good part can get started. Luv Ya!!!--- Billie
