Something Wicked This Way Comes
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Sarah sat in teh small cage that Elric had put her in, still confused as to what had happened, what was going on. Elric has said nothing else since bringing her here. Who was he, what wrong had Jareth done him that Elric wanted revenge so badly, and why did he kep calling her 'Princess'? She wasn't a princess!

There were many things he'd done to her over the past several ghours. Some she couldn't bear to think about because of how much they'd remindedher of the past. He'd whipped and beaten her. How long ago had he finally left her alone? There was so little light, only from candles, and it was impossible to tell how long she'd been there at all.
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
"Are you ready to change your mind, yet, Princess?"
Damn. He was back. Sarah looked up at him. "No. And I keep telling you, I'm not a princess. I don't know why you keep calling me that."
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.
Elric's smile was crule, his eyes cold. Jareth hadn't frightened her seven years ago. Karen hadn't been this cold four years ago. She'd barely felt a shiver when facing either of them. But Elirc made the very blood in her veins turn to ice, and then even colder when he spoke. "Don't you remember?
"Remember what?"

"No, I suppose you wouldn't," he said, still smiling. "After all, you were only two mortal years old when you were taken Aboveground to be saved from me. YOu, my dear, are the last remaining member of the ruling family of the Human Kingdom of the Underground. Not that you have any more subjects. I destroyed them all. Only you escaped."

Sarah's eyes widened. Was he telling the truth? Could it be possible at all? She was going to ask Jareth once she got out of here. Speaking of...":Wbhat does all this have to do with Jareth?"
In the cauldron boil and bake
Fillet of a fenny snake,
"i explained this before," Elric said. "I want to kill you and finally be rid of the last of you. But not until Jareth gets here. If not for him, I'd still be in control. And killing you in front of him will bring him to his knees, and I'll soon be in control again."
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf.
Sarah bit her lower lip. Surely Jareth would be able to rescue her, right? After all, if Jareth could beat Elric at full power, why not with Elric so much weaker, like now? "You'll never get away with it," she said, finally, sounding more confidant than she felt.
Double, double, double, double

Elric reached over with a bony finger, tilting her head up. "Oh, believe me, my dear, I will." He ran a fingernail roughly across her cheek, then, drawing blood, and laughed as Sarah shrank back. He'd get away with it, and he'd rule the Underground once again.
