See the World Through My Eyes

A Granted Wish And A Determined Friend

"Like brother, like sister, it seems," a cultured voice said. The world was silent for a moment. The rain seemed to stop at the recognition of royalty. The window was now open. Sarah stood there looking at the floor. She didn't need eyesight to figure out who that was.

"Toby, come here," she said. Toby, being too scared to know what's going on, went to his sister's side and grabbed her hand. She squeezed it reassuringly.

"What do you want?" Sallina stepped in front of Sarah and Toby, guarding them.

"Who's this?" Jareth asked with raised eyebrows. Sarah's head shot up when she heard boot clicks come nearer.

"I'm her best friend and I would advise that you step away," Sallina growled out.

"I see you've found another friend to stand behind, Sarah," the Goblin King mocked. He stepped around the girl like she was no one.

"At least she has friends," Toby spoke up. Sarah's widened. "I know who you are! You're not taking my sister," he said. He too stepped in front of Sarah. Even though he only came to her waist, Sarah felt pride swell in her chest.

"But my boy, you are the one who made the wish," Jareth bent down and looked the little boy in the eyes. "And I have to grant every wish that is made to me," he said. He waved his hand in front of Toby's face and the boy fell backwards against his sister.

"Toby!" Sarah gasped and knelt down to cradle Toby's limp body. "What did you do to him, Jareth?!" she almost yelled.

"Calm down. He's just asleep," Jareth said and stood up again. "Now, the wished away will come with me. Toby is far to young to run the Labyrinth, unless that's what you want him to do, dear Sarah," Jareth inquired, teasing her. This was not the nice kind of teasing.

"Like hell she's going with you," Sallina spoke up from behind him. He turned around in annoyance.

"You know you are becoming a nuisance. Maybe I should put you to sleep too," Jareth said.

"NO!" Sarah stood up with Toby in her arms. She shuffled some and found her way to the bed. She set the sleeping boy on the bed and stood up again. "Sallina, he's the Goblin King, he-"

"I know damn well who this coward is," Sallina said and glared at Jareth.

"What?!" both asked surprised.

"Explain later," Sallina said briskly. "Right now I want him away from you and this house," she said.

"Though I'm curious as to how this mere mortal knows me, but I'm on a schedule," Jareth conjured a crystal and threw it at the two. The crystal went right through Sallina and hit Sarah with a 'pop'. Sarah disappeared. "Ta-at," Jareth said and disappeared also.

"NO! DAMN HIM!" Sallina screamed. At that moment Sarah's parents entered the room.

"Oh my god! What happened?!" David asked. Sallina whirled around. Her eyes glowed a silver colored.

"You three are to forget all of this. Sarah is at a clinic for the blind. She is fine and you," Sallina glowed and started to fade, "Never saw me," Sallina then disappeared all together.

In the morning the three William's woke up to a sunny day and were completely oblivious to the thought that Sarah was gone. As for Sallina Celeste Ronan, she vanished from the Aboveground all together.

In the Underground, Sarah woke with a start. She was laying in a large bed, as far a she could tell. She could feel the sun hit her face and knew it was day. But what time was it?

"I see you're awake," that same British-accented voice interrupted her thoughts. "I was wondering how long you could sleep. Tell me, who was that annoying little friend of yours?" she heard the clicking again and knew he was getting closer.

"She's my best friend, Sallina," Sarah answered simply, trying not to sound or look weak. But she felt so weak. She couldn't see anything and it scared her, a lot.

"Mm, I'm curious. You don't sound as brave as you did last time Sarah," Jareth said. "Scared? Nervous?" Sarah was now getting angry and sadder at the same time. "Why don't you look me in the eye?" he inquired.

"I CAN'T" She yelled and let tears burst out, "I'm blind, Jareth! I can't see anything! There, are you happy?!" she said and wrapped her arms around her stomach in defeat. She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it.

To say that the Goblin King was surprised would be a big understatement. Surprise was soon replaced by a wave of guilt. He disappeared and went somewhere to think. Sarah didn't care, she didn't want him to see her like this anyway.

Authoress: Whoa, serious…

Zoe: What's with the whole Sallina thingy?

Jareth: Nice vocabulary

Authoress: Well, I wanted Sarah to have someone in the underground as a friend and I don't like the whole, 'She makes Jareth bring her', routine.

Zoe: oh, ok

All: PLEAE REVIEW!!
