CHAPTER 2:
Jareth glanced at the sad Sarah, sitting on the bed, holding a small bear tight to her chest. " Sarah, my dear tell me what's troubling you." Sarah looked up for a brief moment, her tears gushing down freely now. "It's my brother Toby." she spoke softly.
"He's dying in the hospital, and it's all my fault!" she wailed. Jareth took her into his arms holding her like she held the bear. "Shhh. It's going to be okay, it's not you fault." Sarah looked up at him, "YES IT IS! I'm always the one to blame, I hate myself! Everyone hates me."
"I don't hate you."Jareth spoke softly. Sarah nuzzled her head into his chest, Jareth winced as he sensed dawn coming and the sun slowly rising. "Sarah I must go." Sarah looked up at him, her tears mostly gone. "Why?" she asked, knowing the answer.
"You know why Sarah. I'll be back, I promise." Sarah nodded, her tears were falling more freely as she watched Jareth disappear, leaving her to wake up and enter the real world.
Jareth felt his heart sink as he glanced back at the mirror that had allowed him to enter Sarah's dreams, and now she was suffering, and thinking such negative thoughts. Jareth shook it all off for the time being, he would not be weak fool in front of his kingdom. Why can't you? His mind had asked. Jareth ignored the thought, he could be discovered if he acted the way his heart beat he'd end up losing what he loved.
As he walked to his chambers, quietly and carefully, of all people he had to bump into Hoggle. Hoggle looked angry, Jareth knew that he could easily hurt the small dwarf, but he also knew that Hoggle had a bit of magic left by his parents.
The magic had been meant for Jareth, but Hoggle took it for himself, and besides Jareth knew how strong Hoggle's magic and cruelness had gotten after Sarah left.
He had taken advantage of the king's weak moment and took the leftover magic from his land and added it to his own. Jareth thought of Sarah and if she could only see her dear friend now. Jareth would have to tell of this new Hoggle tomorrow even though she'd probably get more upset.
He couldn't do that to her, she was his life and everything to him. Hoggle's interrupted his thoughts of the beautiful woman he now wished he'd taken the risk and stayed with.
"Where were we this evening?" the big furry eyebrow on the small dwarf's face arched.
Jareth looked down at his feet, "Nowhere of importance." he said lying more to Hoggle than himself. "Oh really?" Hoggle got closer and took a whiff of his King's clothes. "I smell mortal on you! You didn't!"
Hoggle walked up the mirror angrily, and placed a blocking spell on it allowing only certain members to leave. Jareth cussed and walked to his chambers, maybe he could for once have peace, and silence.
Alas, when he got there Sir Didymus and Ludo were waiting for him. "Your Majesty, how was your evening?" the small fox asked him, curious to know what kept his king so busy at night.
Jareth sighed, "Sarah's brother is dying and she's miserable." he said in a low voice pain lining every word. The yeti looked up his face showing pain for his friend. "Sawah huwt?" Ludo asked sadly. "Yes Ludo, Sarah hurt." Jareth sat on his bed with a thud as he sat down his face entered his hands and his body shook.
The two friends left the room, knowing that Jareth needed alone time with himself and his thoughts of the one he loved so desperately. Tears lined his face and his blonde mane hung in his eyes.
It was about three hours before Jareth sat up straight, his eyes red and sore. He decided that he needed sleep now more than anything, well not more than Sarah. He prayed that she was fine and nothing was wrong in any sense.
Jareth finally stood up and sighed as he walked to his special chambers that lay beyond the Escher room. Up and down it's many stairs, into the heart of his kingdom. In this one room he could hide from Hoggle. "Sarah gave me this." he whispered looking at a small doll. "It's not valuable, but it came from her heart."
Jareth sat in the room for a long time, his silence was interrupted by Didymus. "Yer Highness, I've found something rare!" he cried out. He handed the king a box. "They're called Cigarettes! Highly dangerous, but so good!" Jareth sighed, and glanced to the fox. "No. The only good thing up there is Sarah."
The fox sighed, "Okay so they're candy! What difference does it make?" Jareth shook his head, this fox just didn't get it. "OUT!" He screamed. "I want to be alone!" The fox sighed, "Of course your majesty." Jareth watched the fox leave the room and soon began to glance around. As he noticed his stuff he realized that he lived a lie.
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the guy
The guy who has ev'rything?Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one chamber hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) he's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the mortals are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em living
talking about this...
(Whad'ya call it?) oh -death
flying round here I don't get too far
Mortals have flown much higher'
Talking about the point
of wanting to live
Up where they live
Up where they die
Up where they always have a blue sky
out of this place
Where it's not safe
Part of her world
What would I give
If I could live
Out of this prison
What would I pay
To spend a day holding her hand
What if she
won't accept me?
And I'd have done it all for nothing
But I won't give up
I'll never give up
I will show her...
That I'm ready to know what the mortals know
I'll ask her my questionsShe'll give me answers
What's their life like and why do they
(What's the word?) Die?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of this place
Where it's not safe
Part of her world.
Jareth sighed heavily, and left the chamber silently wishing for Sarah's touch and her warm embrace. "Why did you leave her?" he asked again. "You love her. That's why." he whispered, "You didn't want her to get harmed."
