Chapter Two: His Realization
His mismatched eyes stared out into the vast space of his Labyrinth. His thoughts wondered to the girl-no, woman- that had intrigued him and captured his mind. Jareth tried to shake her from his every being, but failed. He resisted the surge of need that swelled through him as her named echoed through is mind. "Sarah..."
His eyes widened in surprise as her named slipped through his lips. Her name sounded foreign to his ears. He had not said it in so long. Out loud, anyway. And for a long time he had refused to let her name even be mentioned by any of the goblins. If they had, he had dumped them head first into the Bog of Eternal Stench. But he had learned that that would not solve anything. It would just make him more irritated.
He pushed away from the large window and began to pace back and forth in the throne room. Any goblins that were near, scurried away in a hurry, trying to get out of kicking distance from their king. They knew better than to get in his way when he became like this.
He continued pacing back and forth, wondering what he had done wrong in those last few hours. He had tried to tell her his true feelings. He loved her. He offered the world to her. He would have done anything that she wanted and told her so. Or he thought he had. Yet she still refused him. She had been such a child then; stubborn and hard-headed. But even so, did he actually see that small glint of longing as she said those last few words that destroyed him and his heart?
It had not taken him long to recover his labyrinth. She had said she needed all of them. 'But did that include me?' While pondered silently to himself, he continued to pace back and forth across the floor. He wondered if she had realized how she had destroyed his heart that night in the labyrinth. He wondered that often, because surely she had notice how he felt. He wondered if she even remembered anymore. And if she did, why hadn't she called upon him yet? He knew she knew that if she ever needed him she could call on him for anything. 'Perhaps even to become my queen,' he thought silently, a small smile coming to his lips at the thought.
Sighing, the smile soon disappeared. There was no way she would even consider it. He had loved her, and tried to show her the best he could. He turned and headed down a long hall to his chambers. As he stopped inside his room, the doors closed and he walked to his window, sitting down on it. Conjuring a small crystal in his hand, he spun it around three times, and stopped it. He stared into it and Sarah's features formed in the crystal. She was just now crawling into bed. He watched as she pulled the covers up and then whispered a goodnight. He made out the words. 'Goblin King' He just stared at her through the crystal. She was even more beautiful than he remembered. He watched as she snuggled into the pillow and then his name echoed softly through his own ears as he watched her.
She did think about him still. He smiled, that arrogant smile and the crystal dissolved. He would see her again; and soon. Turning from the window, he went to his own bed. To wait with a hope that she may call on him for love. But till then, he could wait.
Okay more will be coming soon. Please read and review and tell me what you think.
