I own NOTHING!
Chapter 2
Sarah awoke the next morning utterly refreshed and unaware for the angst and desire she had caused her far away admirer. It was a good day; it had to be. Today was her 17th birthday. You can't have a bad day on your birth day, its just not fair.
Jareth spent the remainder of the night pondering and planning; looking for a way to get Sarah to call out to him; to wish herself or him there.
All throughout the day he watched, gently speaking into her subconscious whispering promises and wishes. Whispering his name in hope it would come out of those rosy red lips.
Although it was her birthday, she was unfortunate enough for it to have fallen on school day. But, no worries! Last week had been in the spring drama try outs and Sarah received the lead role of Juliet. But not just that, her crush Eric got the lead male.
Eric was the most beautiful and talented guy in the high school drama department.
Sarah had let out a squeal of delight when she learned he would play her lover, Romeo. She blushed at the thought of the famous balcony scene, where the infamous kiss must take place.
Although Sarah was now 17, she was still innocent. She had never dated a guy, let alone kiss one.
After the final bell rang for the day, Sarah headed to the auditorium. The lights were out, except for a single bulb on a long pole, called a ghost light. She wandered on to the stage. Her skin prickled as she looked out into the empty chairs that would soon contain her adoring audience.
"Call to me Sarah." Jareth whispered in her mind. "Call to me, your Goblin King! Wish! What is your birthday wish?"
Sarah looked up having strange thoughts evade her mind.
"Goblin King?" she whispered sending a rustling echo through out the room.
Suddenly flashes of memories came in and out of focus. Images of strange creatures, fairies, swamps; and one word. One word reverberated throughout her mind.
"Jareth." She spoke. The word sent tingles through her body, leaving her flushed and breathless.
"Jareth." She repeated, a bit more loudly and assured.
"Where have I heard that name before? Why does it make me feel all…strange..?" Sarah thought.
"Wish.", Came a commanding thought in her mind, "Wish for me, Sarah."
