A/N: I have been very, very bad. I am sincerely sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I sincerely hope that it will not happen again. I had some personal problems that had to come first, and I was forced to take a few months off from writing. This will not happen again, because taking time off is simply not my style. I have started writing again, as you can see, because with my last update my back-catalog of chapters writtenwas used up! I know this chapter is short, but there will be more! At this point i will stop chattering and start again with the disclaimer!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but the pants on my butt. Oh, and Cliona. (wink).
Chapter Six
As the pace of the footsteps down the hall quickened, Sarah knew that she must make a decision, and quickly.
"I must admit, he has treated me pretty well overall, even if I think he did come kind of close to sexual harassment the other night…" she thought. "But then again, he did kidnap Toby…but really only because I had asked him to! Oh, I'll never come up with an answer, it isn't fair!"
Sarah had no choice but to stop arguing with herself, as the doorknob to her room was beginning to turn. Knowing that she had mere seconds left to decide, she decided to try to let her instincts decide for her, wondering what the first thought in her head would be upon speaking his name.
"Jareth…" she whispered aloud quickly to herself and much to her surprise, the first thing that came to mind was the near-kissing incident from the other night. She could still feel his warm breath on her neck, his lips so close to her own… Sarah quickly returned to reality when she realized that someone, not Jareth, was roughly breathing next to her.
Slowing turning her head to the side, out of fear of her shoulder smarting again, and seeing what was actually next to her; Sarah's eyes snapped open to reveal the horrible, petulant creature standing at her bedside. Rough, scaly skin, armor rusted with what to Sarah's horror appeared to be blood, and yellow bloodshot eyes stared back at her.
Now, keep in mind that Sarah had seen much scarier things during her first trip to the Labyrinth, but considering the fact that she was currently finding herself to be unable to defend herself, she had no choice to do what the rest of us would do in this type of situation. Scream at the top of our lungs.
Jareth's head turned sharply in the direction of the door of his study upon hearing a scream. "That's unusual…" he thought …"SARAH!"
