The small restaruant was jammed with people. Sarah had to watch her every move carefully, making sure not to trip over anyone's feet or drop the large trays of food she was carrying.
"O.k. That's pancakes for you. The eggs for you," she counted off the various dishes while setting them down on the table. Turning to go, she noticed a man sitting at a table a few feet away. He was alone with his head and face covered by a large, black hat.
Sarah quickly moved over to him. She didn't give him more than a cursory glance before dropping her eyes to the paper in her hand. "What would you like?"
"Well, now that's certainly an open question, isn't it?" From beneath the wide brim of his hat, Jareth peered at Sarah. His expression remained calm, but his eyes were laughing. Sarah stepped back. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here because you brought me here." Now Jareth was standing. With a slight wave of his hand, the resteraunt disappeared. Sarah stared at him in fear.
"Why do you STILL persist in the belief that I'm going to harm you?" Jareth's tone was that of annoyance, as he stepped closer to her. "Can't you see that had I wished, I could have kept you in my Labyrinth forever? I could have taken everything from you, but no, I allowed you to leave. I let you go on your merry way."
Sarah shook her head. "I won. You had to let me go." Jareth snorted. "That's where you're wrong, Sarah. The deal was for your brother. I never said a word about you leaving."
O.k. I'm trying to get my chapters longer. I'm also trying to get the updates closer together. I can guarentee at least one/two chapters a week, but beyond that....Thanks again for reviewing!
