Chapter Five: Kisses and Tea trays
Early afternoon, the next day, Sarah woke to an interesting sight. Jareth, the illustrious Goblin King, was sleeping close to her. That was when she noticed his long fingers engulfed her small hand, holding it gently. When she tried to move he murmured and moved closer, his forehead touching hers. Gulping she noted his position, At least he wasn't in the bed with her! Jareth was still sitting on his chair, but his body had slumped forward so his head was resting on his arm, which was on the bed, with a blanket covering him and sprawled over her sheets, giving her an extra layer of covers.
Sarah was truly puzzled. The room she was in was the one she had fallen asleep in, though it looked much better, so she knew she couldn't be in the Goblin kingdom but with those weird people from the other day. Jareth was lying near her, with small worry lines across his peacefully handsome face, though she knew she hadn't summoned him. And he was holding her hand like she could die any second if he let go. She felt fine, despite yesterday's happenings. She hoped Solleret was okay.
Leaning in a little closer, Sarah studied Jareth's face, trying to solve her little puzzles, unconsciously taking in his scent, which was masculine with a hint of Vanilla and spices. Shutting her eyes to study the unique smell, she breathed it in. Who knew when she would be this close to him again? Suddenly a clatter and shouts from outside were heard and she felt him lurch up. Looking up at him, while his head was turned to look at the door, she saw electric-like sparks fall from his hair and eyes as he ground his teeth and gave a feral growl, looking thoroughly pissed off, which scared Sarah a little.
"Do not leave the room, your Majesty! We shall handle these naives! Ambrosius! Charge!" She heard Sir Didymus's cry through the door. Sarah watched the sparks form around Jareth's hands and her one, he was holding. Surprisingly they didn't hurt, only tickled.
The King squeezed her hand in parting as he tried to stand, only to find she squeezed back. Sarah saw the look of surprise, shock and relief on his face as he quickly turned to her, his face still close and she found herself staring deep into his blue and brown eyes, which switched from relief to twinkle in amusement. At first Sarah's eyes were wide in shock and confusion, unknowingly drawing him in with their innocence, then the fire of defiance shone through them and he couldn't help but smirk. Moving his free hand under her chin Jareth guided her head up. The kiss began chaste, then Jareth began to crush her lips beneath his own in passion, gently guiding his tongue into her mouth. Sarah was a little surprised by the turn of events, but soon got over it when she felt his tongue touch hers. Pulling her arms free of the trapping blankets she wrapped them around his neck, pulling him closer until he was on top of her. Pulling away and lifting himself up with his arms Jareth licked his lips, leering down at her while she smiled coyly, refusing to look at him, and played with the hair on the back of his head, sending tingles down his spine. Jareth couldn't help but marvel at Sarah's beauty just then. Her hair was sprayed out on the pillow; her lips were red and swollen, slightly open to take in the deep breaths that made her, almost exposed, breasts heave and her face had a rosy tinge.
Continuing to smirk, Jareth brought his face down to rub his cheek on hers and whisper into her ear. "If you wanted a kiss, you could have just asked. Instead of running blindly into a mob of angry human youths and being injured."
Sarah's blush intensified. Then she got an idea that would make his icy-cool highness hot and bothered. "Jareth?" She moaned into his ear, putting her spontaneous plan into action, as she arched her body closer. "Will you kiss it better?"
Meanwhile downstairs everyone had their hands full.
"Get back, kids! Protego!" Tonks shouted as she put up a shield to pant and get her breath back. A large squad of Death Eaters had attacked ten minuets earlier, coming through the fireplace and front door in a perfectly coordinated attack. Harry, Ron and Hermione were fighting back-to-back, protecting Luna and Ginny who were throwing up shields to block any curses sent their way. Moody, Tonks and the Weasley twins were firing off in grand fashion, standing in a line before Mrs Weasley, who was hiding behind an overturned table with Toby and the House Elves. When a curse almost hit them, making Mrs Weasley scream in alarm as she covered them, Toby got mad. Really mad.
Pulling out of Molly's hold he looked over the edge of the table, sparks fell from his eyes and hands as he summoned two crystal balls, one in each hand, and filled them with power. Then, with a grim smile, he threw them at a large group of Death Eaters. The two balls rolled across the floor, glowing a soft blue light. When they came to a stop, one on each end of the evil group, their glow suddenly brightened and a large charge of electricity shot out between them, electrocuting a large number of the intruders and changing the tide of battle. As the charred bodies fell on the floor with a thud, their companions were beaten off while some ran for any available exit. Suddenly a thunder crack started and two enormous Trolls appeared, each covered in leather and chain mail, carrying heavy clubs with spikes drove in them and began to attack any of the masked wizards and witches foolish enough to go near. After them came an assortment of Goblins, each with its own amour and weapons. Unlike the Goblins Sarah faced in the Goblin city, these knew what they were doing and herded the remaining live Death Eaters into a corner, the spells uselessly bouncing off their chain mail, to poke at until they surrendered.
Toby pushed past the other members of his group and quickly ran up the stairs to his sisters room, a crystal in one hand and a sword, he had summoned from the castle, in the other. Behind him were some of the Goblins and Harry's group. Toby came to the landing where Sir Didymus had slain two Death Eaters and was with Hoggle, behind Ludo, who seemed to be immune to magic and had one Death Eater in a hand and threw it at the group of others surrounding him.
"Expelliarmus!" Harry cried, drawing the mobs attention. Toby sliced through a few legs with his sword as he ran forward to help Ludo and Sir Didymus.
"Stupefy!" Ron cried as he ran with Harry, helping his best friend. "Propulso!"
Turning his back to Ludo, Toby ran the flat of his hand over his sword, charging it up with bluish sparks. Then he pointed it at the remaining few Death Eaters, sending a wave of blue light directly at them. Their was an almighty rumble and most of the Death Eaters fell.
The Door behind Toby opened and Jareth poked his head out to an interesting site. Several people in masks and odd robes were on the floor suffering from several curses, some suffering from more than one, with Goblins clearing them up and taking the opportunity to but the boot in a few times. While Ludo was hugging a few puzzled teenagers with Hoggle and Sir Didymus dancing around his feet, trying to get them down. Toby walked up to Jareth and gave a short bow. "Thanks for the reinforcements, by the way." He said cheerfully as he pulled off a salute.
Jareth laughed and scuffed the small boys hair. "Well done." Pulling the door open Jareth revealed he was only in his breeches as he stepped forward.
Seeing the new person had everyone's attention one of the more enthusiastic of the conscious Death Eaters drew his wand, before the capturing Goblins could confiscate it, and fired "Stupefy!" at Toby, throwing him into Jareth.
"Toby!" A fully clothed Sarah had come behind the King and seeing her little brother attacked for no apparent reason made her do the same thing any protective sister would do. She picked up the nearest available blunt object, which so happened to be a thick wooden tea tray from a table near the door, ran forward and disarmed the attacker with one swipe. As the Death Eater was distracted by his flying wand Sarah brought her fists into play, punching his masked face and then in the gut to finish him off by kneeing him in the head. When he had hit the floor she continued to batter him with the tray and kick him with her bare feet, much to everyone's surprise. Even the Goblins were looking nervous as they edged away to give her more room.
Hermione went over and cast a quick "Ennervate." on Toby when Jareth passed him to her as he went to try and calm down Sarah.
"Sarah? Sarah?" Even Ludo was keeping out of her way as Jareth approached her busy form. "He's okay. Toby was only stunned…"
"You bloody, stupid piece of runny crap… Aaagh! Why didn't I learn to swear properly!" Sarah ignored Jareth as she continued to beat the Death Eater.
"Sarah," Jareth purred as he wrapped his arms around her, halting her onslaught. "a Lady should never swear. It's not done."
"If a woman was truly a Lady, Jareth, she could swear. Because she was a Lady and could do whatever she wanted!" Jareth only grinned the whirled her around to plant a soft kiss on her lips, silencing any further arguments, and taking the opportunity to send some magic through it to knock Sarah out.
"As much as I would love to watch my darling continue beating up poor defenceless mass murderers," He said to the room in general, Toby now awake, as he scooped her in his arms. "I feel that she has had enough excitement for one day and still needs her rest." and he headed back into her room, shutting the door behind him with his boot.
