Sarah could have sworn she had heard her friends calling for her. She got up out of bed slowly.
Sarah hadn't been eating anything Jareth had offered. Last time, she nearly lost her memory because of that damn peach he had given her. The peach made her lose her memory. She looked out the window. All she saw was the Goblin City and the end of the Labyrinth.
"It must have been my imagination," she said.
"What was my dear?" asked voice from the doorway.
Sarah spun around very weakly. She saw Jareth in another one of his many outfits. This was one was similar to the one she had defeated him in, with some minor adjustments.
Sarah looked past him. She said nothing. She completely ignored him. Sarah got back into bed with her face facing the window.
Jareth saw that she was giving him the silent treatment.
"Giving me the cold shoulder, huh?" asked Jareth.
All the reply he got was Sarah's stomach growling to be fed.
"Go away," said Sarah.
Jareth wasn't going to stand it. He sat down on the bed next to her.
"Listen Sarah, you have to eat. I promise you nothing is in the food. If you don't eat, you'll either die or get very sick," he assured her.
Sarah sat up.
She looked Jareth right in the eyes.
"I'll feel a lot better if I made it myself," she said.
"Of course," said Jareth getting off the bed and putting out his hand for her to take.
Sarah slapped it away.
"I'm fine. I can handle myself," she said.
Sarah stood up and began walking very carefully, until her body gave out on her.
She braced herself for impact of the floor, but it ever came.
"Huh?" Sarah asked.
Jareth had caught her in his arms.
A blush found its' way to her already pale cheeks.
"Thanks," she mumbled.
Jareth smiled.
"You're welcome Your Highness," said Jareth.
He picked her up bridal style. Sarah did not fight his embrace. He was showing her kindness and she accepted this at the moment.
They made their way to the kitchens for Sarah to make her own meals. Sarah had to bear this even though she wanted out of this dreadful place.
"Don't call me that because it's not what I am and never will be," she said.
Jareth smiled at her.
"You had better start treating me more nicely, or I may just have to use force," he said.
Sarah scoffed at this.
"Yeah, that's right. Take advantage of me because I'm weak. A true king would never do that, but then again, you're not a true king," she sneered.
Jareth stopped walking throughout the corridors. Sarah was a little afraid of what he might do. All he did was drop her onto the cold marble floor. She landed hard on her ass. She stood up while rubbing her now bruised backside.
"Hey! What was that for?" she screamed.
Jareth said nothing and didn't even look at her. He turned into a barn owl and flew off.
"Okay weird," she said.
Sarah started her way to what she thought was the kitchens. Sarah sniffed the air.
"I must be close," she said.
In no time, she had found the kitchen. It was a mess. Goblins were all over the place fighting over slime. The goblins didn't even see her walk in. they were too busy fighting each other.
Sarah took in the rest of her surroundings. Pots and pans with grease and God know what else was all over the place.
"Oh gross!" she said covering her mouth to keep her from vomiting.
She turned her head away from the awful sight.
"I think I just lost my appetite," she said while leaving the horrible room.
Her stomach growled.
"I'm sorry, but we'll have to find something else to else," she said to her stomach.
Sarah then figured maybe she'd giver herself a little tour of the castle. Surely Jareth wouldn't mind.
Sarah, despite her weak stage and hunger, walked a little bit around the castle. She saw some great pictures of what she guessed were Jareth's family, some old rooms, and a great big room with a lot of books.
"This must be the library," she said while sitting down in a chair. Sarah grabbed a couple books and read the titles.
"Magic Bubbles," read one title and the other read
"Transfiguration for Dummies," she said
"That sounds like Jareth," said Sarah as she flipped through the thick book.
A few hours had passed and Sarah had tried to some transfiguration herself. Surprisingly she had done it. Sarah was now a beautiful white unicorn. She never practiced magic before. Yes she believed in it, but this was so impossible. The first try and it turned out beautifully.
Everything was perfect in the transfiguration.
"Not bad for a first timer," said someone close to her.
Sarah turned around in unicorn form and in the doorway stood a very pissed off Goblin King.
Uh-Oh! Sarah's mind screamed before Sarah transfigured back to her human form.
She gestured a smile until she made a dash for it away from Jareth.
