Chapter 5- Dangerous actions

Sarah awoke to the sound of someone moving around her room. Thinking it was Jareth, she sprang from the bed, wearing the same jeans and black shirt she had had on yesterday, and scared the poor servant that was there.

"Who are you?" Sarah asked the elf.

"My name is Ariella, mistress. I was assigned to see to your needs."

"Oh."

"Would you like me to find you something to wear?" Ariella questioned.

"Hmmm...sure," Sarah replied, distracted. 'Why would Jareth assign me my own personal servant?' she wondered. 'It's not like I plan on staying.'

"What color would you like to wear?"

"Dark green, please."

"Of course, mistress. Now if you would please take this and change."

Sarah turned around to see Ariella holding a dark forest colored dress.

"What is that?"

"It's...it's a dress."

"I know, but why is it a dress?"

"Milady, that's all you have?"

"WHAT?"

Jareth could hear Sarah's shout in his throne room and not ten minutes later, she stormed into the room, hair flying behind her, eyes blazing with rage, wearing a dark green, off-the-shoulder dress that fit tight at the bodice and belled out slightly near the bottom.

"How could you do that?" she shouted at him.

"Do what, my love?"

"Don't even do that. Don't you dare pretend that you don't know. Look at what I'm wearing!"

Jareth looked, and in looking, was pleased with what he saw. She looked absolutely stunning.

"Yes, I see it. You look quite nice."

"You gave me nothing but dresses! You know I hate dresses," she said, her anger starting to dissapate.

"I never know when you will be in front of the High Court, so I would have you be prepared," he told her matter-of-factly.

Getting up from his throne, he circled her like a hunter stalking its prey. He moved forward to appear behind her.

With a gloved hand, Jareth swept her hair away from her neck and whispered into her ear.

"Is that what all the fuss was about?" Jareth spoke into Sarah's ear, his voice husky and low, making her shiver.

"Yes," she breathed out, barely able to make a sound.

She shivered as Jareth ran his hands softly up and down her sides. It was wrong to react so stronly to his touch and to his voice, but when he touched her or spoke softly to her, Sarah did not care about right or wrong, she only cared about the here and now.

Hearing him give a small laugh as he smirked at her, Sarah's mind snapped her back to reality.

In her anger at herself and at him, she swiftly spun around and slapped him before he could make any movements to stop her.

Seeing him grow angry, Sarah bacame fearful and began to slowly move backwards until Jareth gripped her shoulders and shook her to quiet any possible protests.

"You will regret that," he whispered before he threw her to the ground.

Matt drove up to the white house and parked his car. This was where the lady from Social Services told him to go.

He got out of the car and walked up the stairs leading to the door. After taking a breath to steady himself, he knocked on the door and a woman who looked to be in her thirties answered.

"I'm looking for toby. Is he here?" Matt asked.

"Yes, he is," she replied. "Please, come in. I'll get him for you."

Matt entered the door and sat on a couch in a spacious living room to wait for Sarah's little brother.

When a sever-year-old boy entered from the foyer, Matt automatically noticed his brown hair like Sarah's and his greenish-gold eyes.

"Are you Toby?" he asked. The little boy nodded. "Good. My name is Matt,a nd I need your help. Sarah is in trouble."

At the mention of his sister, Toby's eyes lit up. Matt had caught his interest.

"Nowl," he continued," what can you tell me about the Labyrinth?"
