Ch12

When their lips met it was like magic! Electricity seemed to be running through Sarah's entire body. Her hair was on end. Now Sarah had made out many times with her ex-boyfriend. She never really enjoyed it because all he did was basically choke her with his tongue. Jareth on the other hand put a curl in her toes. The way he rubbed his hands up and down her back, and around her neck. He messaged Sarah's tongue with his own, hitting every sensitive point causing chills to run down her spin. The kiss was so soft yet so rough. Sarah could have stayed like that forever until:

"Excuse me umm Your Majesty...uh I just wanted to say we are back," a goblin guard said. It was past 13 o'clock so Finally Day was over and they now had to go back to work.

Sarah began to look around. There were goblins all over the place looking at them, including Adele who was staring out of Sarah's window. Sarah felt so embarrassed.

She wiggled her way out of Jareth's arms. "I have to go!" she yelled and ran away as fast as she could. Sarah didn't stop running until she reached her room.

"It was the alcohol," Sarah said to herself, "It was all the wine's fault. I really didn't want to kiss Jareth!" Although she knew full well that she did.

"Well it looks like you had a goodnight," Adele said as Sarah walked into the room.

"Please I don't want to talk about it."

"I am just saying you seemed to have been having a good time until that dumb guard butted in."

Sarah could tell she was beginning to sober up. She felt very sick to her stomach, "Adele I told you I don't want to talk about it. Could you please just let me go to bed?"

Adele gave Sarah a strange look. But it faded as soon as it came, "Alright Sarah goodnight. I shall see you in the morning."

Sarah quickly changed out of her dress and jumped into bed. She went right to sleep and had a dreamless night.

The next morning Sarah woke up with a cold cloth on her face. "What is this?" Sarah asked. She definitely had a hang over and was very short tempered.

"You are sick. You threw up a little in your sleep. Do not try to fight me on this one Sarah, you are staying in bed!" Adele yelled.

"I am not sick Adele," Sarah said, "Just get me Tylenol and some coffee and I will be fine."

"No you will not have coffee. You will have water and Piconscentamaski broth. Now eat up." Adele placed a tray in front of Sarah. It had a glass of water and a bowl of the most god awful stuff Sarah had ever smelt. Really it would have felt right at home in The Bog of Eternal stench. It made Sarah even more sick to her stomach.

"Really Adele do I have..."

"To eat every drop? Yes Sarah you do. I will resort to force feeding it to you if I have to." Adele said.

"Do you live to torture me?" Sarah yelled.

"How dare you even think such a thing! Really Sarah, I am just trying to make you feel better. If you want you can just eat half of it."

Sarah looked down at the bowl. It wasn't that big. Drinking half of it would be no big deal. She could just hold her nose and drink it down in one gulp.

"If I drink half of this will you let me go out?" Sarah asked.

Adele thought for a second, "Alright I will if you stay with the King. No running around town. Is that completely understood?"

Sarah cringed. She had completely forgoten about what happened the night before. Sarah felt so embarrassed. The way she acted was so childish. Jareth would probably make fun of her the next time she saw him. But the more Sarah thought about it she knew she would rather face Jareth then spend a whole day in bed with Adele fussing over her. She could at least yell back at Jareth. If she yelled at Adele, Adele would most likely come up with something else for her to drink and keep her in bed for 2 weeks.

"Okay I accept." Sarah said. She quickly picked up the bowl, held her nose, and swallowed as much as she could. She couldn't taste it but the texture of it made her gage. It felt like a mix between Jello, oat meal, and sand. How that was accomplished, I have no clue.

When Sarah finished Adele refused to let her out of bed.

"Adele you said if I drank half of that crap you would let me go."

"Yes I did, but only if King Jareth was with you. And he is not here."

"Well what if I get dressed and you escort me to him?"

"That won't work. What if you pass out on the way? I will not be able to catch you, I am too weak."

"I will not pass out! I am not sick!"

"Yes you are Sarah," Adele said.

"Okay what if you bring Jareth here? Would that work? Would you let me out then?"

"How can I be sure you will not get out of bed?" Adele asked.

"You have my word. I will not get out of bed until you return." Sarah said. She didn't care just so long as she got away from Adele. Don't get me wrong, Sarah loved Adele. She could be very sweet at times. But as you know Adele loved to overreact.

"Alright but if so much as one foot gets out of that bed, while I am gone, I will make you drink the rest of that broth, is that completely understood?" Adele asked.

"All too perfectly," Sarah replied from the bed.

"I will be back in a moment then," Adele said while picking up the tray that still sat in front of Sarah, "Remember, not one foot is to be out of that bed till I get back." Adele then walked out the door.

"Thank God she left," Sarah said as she threw the cloth that was on her forehead across the room. "Now what am I going to say to Jareth when he gets here?" she asked Lancelot. She slept with the bear since it was her only comfort from home, " Should I tell him it was all a mistake? No, that won't work. He would never believe that. I could just say that I didn't know what I was doing because I was drunk... That wouldn't work either because then he would just say that alcohol brings out peoples inner desires. Which is not true but still Jareth wouldn't believe that excuse. Wait! I could just yell at him for getting me drunk! That's it!" Sarah then yawned and said very drowsily, "That would make everything I did his fault." Sarah began to feel very tired, "Yes that would work."

She felt like she was being pulled to sleep. The same way she felt before dinner the other night. Sarah fought it. "If Adele comes back and I'm sleeping, no matter what kind of deal we made, she would keep me here." But eventually she gave in. She really didn't have a choice.
