Jareth was just getting over eating his breakfast, and had lots of work and treaties to sign. Another day of paper work was he could think of. Yawing he went to his study, passing portraits of mythical creatures of mermaids, gnomes and fairies. Jareth's mother loved the paintings so he never took them down, but as for himself he never thought he needed to look at them. After she died he didn't have the heart to take them down, then he created the labyrinth. A place where he could stay and hide the pain, create magic, fill the void as his subjects whispered how his heart was hardened. Giving himself a mental shake, Jareth opened his double doors to his private study.
RaLen just left Sarah's room to grab her toiletries, he had a hard time finding the scented soap which was behind the glass mirror, Sarah laughed and told him to pull it open. She packed some cloths, she didn't intend on staying very long, just some things for a few days. She knew she wanted to see Jareth but didn't expect anything more than the goblin king she knew as a kid, a mean and selfish king who played with her heart and her mind. Sarah, though all this time, thinking she felt something for this king was now only afraid and woeful of what he might say or do, even if he cared.
"He might just put me back into the labyrinth" she said out loud. Blinking back doubt she turned back to her packing. "Do not worry Sarah, the king is kind and will help you, you are destined to damn or give life to the labyrinth. He knows this and so he will help". Sarah could only nod and hope to god he was right, RaLen seemed like a robot, given the right information at the right time, but with no emotion or mood to his voice. It was cold but not bitter.
She finished packing and put on her shoes, grabbing her small black jacket from the hook on her wall she looked at RaLen. "Now what?" she asked. "Watch" he said. Waving his hand over Sarah bedroom door he opened it and Sarah was standing on the very same hill where she was sent on her way to find Toby before it was too late. A shiver ran down her spine, inside her head she kept thinking run. Why are you here? You don't belong here. No vampire lord exists. wake up! RaLen stepped forward making sure she was right behind him, " Now to the Castle beyond the Goblin City" .
