Chapter 6: Tomber En Amour
The room gave the appearance of swaying back and forth. But it was just the people on the dance floor, completely enthralled with thier partners and moving to the music. The room was dark blue, filled with dark corners for doing dark deeds. There were tiny pinpoints of light shining through the walls and through the ceiling. It looked like thousands of stars in the night sky. There were dark shear fabrics hanging everywhere, shielding off sections of the room. Everyone was masked, with either a halk black and white mask, or a full white mask. Their clothing was made of dark fabrics, making them all blur together in the dark. All that could be seen were floating masks.
"Close your eyes make a wish
this could last forever
if only you could stay
with me now
so tell me what it is
that keeps us from each other now..."
Sarah stepped into the room and was immediately asalted by the dark. It engulfed her, weaving her into its web of mystery, it moved her forward through the dancing couples, her ears picked up laughter and soft conversations. The room was alive with soft caresses. There was a sad song playing in the background, urging the couples on. Sarah pushed through the crowd and spotted what she was looking for, rather who, the Goblin King. He was standing with a small circle of women, one of the women was whispering in his ear. Jareth however, only had eyes for Sarah. A dancer passed and Sarah lost track of him. He had moved, leaving the women to sneer at her. She turned away from them and crossed the floor again, squeezing by couples who turned to watch her as she went. It was unnerving having everyone stare at her.
"Yeah its coming to get me
your under my skin
no i cant let you go
your a part of me now
cought by the taste of your kiss
and i dont wanna know the reason why i
cant stay forever like this
now i'm climbing the walls cause i miss you..."
She cought another glance at Jareth and then he was gone, hidden behind another womens fan. She stepped past the women but he had dissapeared. She stepped up a small set of stairs and walked across another floor. There was less couples here, but they were more interested in each other then the actual dance. She turned back and headed down the stairs, walking right by Jareth. He had put his mask up so she didnt recognize him. Sarah was the only one without a mask.
"Take my hand take my life
just dont take forever
and let me feel your pain
kept inside
thiers gotta be a way
for you and i together now
yeah its coming to get me
your under my skin..."
Jareth followed her back onto the floor. She was looking in every direction but his. Finally she turned around and found him. He held out his hand and she grasped it lightly. He pulled her to him and put his arm around her waist. His other still held her hand. Her other hand went to his shoulder. They began to dance to the music. Other couples pressed in around them as they waltzed. Jareth pulled Sarah closer until she was touching his chest. She looked phenomenal. The dress acentuated all the right features.
"No i cant let you go
your a part of me now
cought by the taste of your kiss
and i dont wanna know
the reason why i
cant stay forever like this
now i'm climbing the walls cause i miss you..."
He had missed her all these years that she was aboveground. Although for her, this was the first time. He missed her quick tongue, and beautiful smile. He wanted her to smile at him. He let go of her waist and brought her chin up. She smiled at him and he couldnt help himself. He leaned in and kissed her on the lips, his hand gently caressed her chin. She gave in to the kiss and released his hand bringing both of hers up around his neck. He let go of her chin and put his arms around her waist, pulling her in, deepening the kiss.
"Its an illusion
how can i feel this way
if i cant have you
its an illusion
nothing is real this way
if i cant have you..."
He pulled back and and stared into her eyes. She was frowning. Her eyes held a question. 'Why did you stop?' they asked.
"No i cant let you go
your a part of me now
cought by the taste of your kiss..."
His eyes answered back, 'this is only an illusion, i want this for real.'
"And i dont wanna know
the reason why i
cant stay forever like this
now i'm climbing the walls cause i miss you..."
Sarah pulled away and pushed her way through the crowd. She had to get out of there, she had to think this through. She came upon a mirror in the far corner of the room and picked up a chair.
"I cant let you go now
and i dont wanna know
the reason why i
cant stay forever like this
now i'm climbing the walls cause i miss you..."
Jareth watched as Sarah hurled the chair through the mirror destroying the ball room. In a way it was good. He didnt want her in this imaginary place, he wanted her in reality. As the dancers and decorations flew through the breach in the wall Jareth stood there unmoving. He closed his eyes and brought his hand up to his forehead. Picturing the kiss in his mind. He would have another one before the day was out.

Sarah floated down to the ground, landing with a soft thump. Sand stretched out before and beside her for what looked like miles. In front of her she could just see the top tower of the goblin castle. The sun was slowly beginning to set to her left making the shadows of the nearby sand dunes grow larger.
She pulled out the elastic in her hair and ran her fingers through her hair. This environment was murdering her hair. She through her hair back into a bun and started walking towards the castle. She began to ponder over the ball room and its most distinguished person. Jareth. He was so unpredictable. First he brings her in for a kiss and then he pushes her away, when in fact she had been enjoying herself imensely and did not wish for the kiss to end. It was heaven itself and she wanted to stay there forever, in his arms. But he pushed her away, so she ran. Like she always did. Not wanting to wait for a reason.
She kicked some sand and stuck her hands in her pockets, keeping her head down. Men. They are so confusing. Jareth had been so kind and affectionate, and giving her advice when he didnt need to, and then at the first sign of her returning that affection he pushed her away. What was going on in that mind of his anyway?
Sarah carefully navigated around another sand dune and gazed up. Most of the castle was in view now, she was making progress. The heat was intense here however, she moped her brow and sped up her pace. She tried to think about other things, but nothing came to mind. Nothing at all in fact. She tried to think of her parents, but she couldnt picture thier faces, couldnt remember who they were. It was like someone took a cloth to her subconsious and wiped away her memories. She knew her name was Sarah, but she couldnt remember her last name, whether she had a pet, a house, an extended family. Nothing. All she could think about was Jareth.
Jareth, an enigma unto himself. Here was the real challenge, analyzing the very heart of Jareth. Through his actions alone towards her she knew he had some feelings for her. But what was the extent of his feelings? Were they bordering friendship? Or love?
Sarah was now in full view of the stone wall surrounding the goblin city. She could just make out a doorway pushed back from the rest of the wall. She positioned herself on an intercept course and started to jog.
Her journey was almost at an end. She vowed then and there that regardless of how this adventure turned out she would stay and get to know more about Jareth. The kiss in the ballroom had flipped a switch in her soul, lighting it up. It had left her wanting more, more then just a kiss could satisfy.
A smile appeared on Sarah's face as she began to run towards the doorway. She would beat this Labyrinth, and she would win the goblin kings heart. Piece of cake.
