Ok... I dont know why people like this story so much! It is positivly indecent to write chapters this short! (for me anyway...) but Hey, I like it to. And save me from the Jareths on horseback stampede
Chapter 8
Attack
Dawn found the young purple haired woman collapsed on the ground, blood flowing from her side and head, her thin rimmed glasses five feet from her eyes. She sat that way for hours, unconscious and bleeding.
Jareth walked into her room, to wake her up, for it was past ten, and seeing her not in her bed but bent over a chair, as if she had been thrown over it, hurtled himself over her bed and to her bloody side. "What happened! Dakota? Rizka? Nomai?" She took in a labored breath and gasped in pain. Jareth conjured a crystal and put it inside her side where it melted and sewed up the hacked open wound. He put another in her head and she sat up. "Ja-a-areth?" she gasped. He nodded and held her to his chest. "Shhshh. Don't cry. Shhshh." She, of course, sobbed onto his tunic for a loooong time. A droplet of blood landed on it, and she screamed and burrowed her head in farther, and he just rocked her in his arms.
"What happened?" he asked again. A look of horror crossed her face.
I apparently fell asleep, as I woke up. I was leaning on the rail overlooking the Labyrinth. A soft yellow glow emitted from it. I heard a rustle behind me. Paranoid as always, I kept quiet, hoping against hope that they wouldn't see me. Of course, as always happens at the most inopportune of moments, a piece of dust tickled my nose. I sneezed, and the people behind me knew I was there. Cautiously turning around, I saw the elf and goblin from my dream. I was about to scream, but the elf covered my mouth and the goblin stabbed my side and cut open my head. They threw me over a chair and fled, as blackness shrouded my mind.
Jareth saw it all through her eyes. He picked her up and carried her to her bed. She began giggling like crazy. "What?" he asked. "I have no idea!" Dakota laughed hysterically. Thinking she was going quite mad, he laid her on the bed and closed the door.
