As the Pain Sweeps Through

Chapter 2

Sarah Williams walked down the path to the entrance to the Labyrinth. She looked around for the doors because Hoggle had opened them before. She finally found them and they opened for her. She turned to her right, keeping an eye out for the little worm. She kept going until she found a worm, but it wasn't blue like she expected. It was green.

"'Allo," the worm said. Sarah felt a sense of deja vu.

"You're not the worm I met before are you?" Sarah asked.

"No that was me dad. 'E told me about you. 'E said you'd be back one day. Go foreword and turn left. Takes you right to the castle. Good luck," he called cheerily as Sarah ran off towards the castle. "Done what you asked miss," he said. In the castle, Sarah the Goblin Queen sat on the ledge that Jareth usually occupied when looking over his kingdom. Said king walked up behind her and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"She's on her way," Sarah announced. Jareth sighed.

"She never did know when to quit."

"That's what I'm hoping for," Sarah said. "She'll be here within the hour."

"Have I told you I love you lately?" Jareth asked. Sarah shook her head. Jareth smirked at her before grabbing her chin and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Get your lips off my niece you scum," Sarah growled. The couple finished their lingering kiss before turning to the outraged aunt.

"Yes aunt?" Sarah asked coolly.

"Sarah what the hell are you doing here?"

"Living the life you rejected," Jareth said, clasping the younger Sarah's hand. The aunt noticed an elaborate ring resting on her niece's left hand. Sarah also noticed a slight thickening around her niece's waist.

"It hasn't been that long has it? It can't have been that long!" Sarah protested.

"Time Aunt. Time in the Fae realm runs faster than in the human world. It has been four months here compared to the three hours in the human world." Sarah put a hand on her rounded stomach. "Even if you found a way to convince me to leave, I cannot. I am married and carrying the possible heir to the throne. Go back home aunt, and remember that I chose this life."

"Why did you let me run the Labyrinth? To humiliate me?"

"No Sarah. We decided to allow you to run the Labyrinth to show you that I am happy here. You needed to understand. I am the Queen of the Goblins."

"Good-bye Sarah. The goblins will escort you to the beginning of the Labyrinth. Have a good life." Jareth stood to escort Sarah to the door. After Sarah was left outside the door, Jareth quickly walked back to his wife. He kneeled down beside hr and he put his head in her lap.

"Well I think that went about as well as it could have gone," Sarah said softly, playing with Jareth's hair.

"It could have gone worse," Jareth acknowledged. He looked up at her, his mismatched eyes staring into hers. "She could have tried to drag you back to the human world."

"I wouldn't have let her," Sarah said, stroking his jaw. "I'm carrying the heir to the throne. And also because I can never return Aboveground for more than a few minutes at a time."

"Those are the only reasons?" Jareth asked quietly.

"And because I love you, you silly goose," Sarah said, kissing him softly. Jareth grinned and he picked her up into his arms and he carried her to their bedroom.

"I love you too my queen," he said as he kissed her again.

His queen, Sarah mused, yes she would be quite content just being his queen for the rest of her long life.
