"Jareth!" Sarah cried into the room around her. "We need to talk."
The man who haunted her dreams for the past years appeared in a burst of glitter. Sarah let another tear run down her cheek before brushing it away quickly. Everything was so overwhelming to her. She loved this man but at the same time how could she love the enemy? He was not to be trusted! I hate him.. I hate him! She tried to convince her heart. The whole time she knew it was a lie.
"I thought i got rid of you ages ago. How dare you force your way back into my life? What right do you think you have!" Sarah cried angrily.
All the King of Goblins could do was smirk at the woman he held so dear to his heart. She was beautiful. The spunky attitude she had did nothing to phase him. It only made him love her more. No one ever stood up to him and Sarah didnt seem to let his high status bother her as she spoke her mind and that is exactly what he loved the most about her.
"Oh come now Sarah, You didnt honestly think that this would be that easily done did you?" He smirked at her. He loved being close to her again. When he saw the tear roll down her cheek as she listened to his music he knew that she loved him and he wasnt about to let that spark die.
"I want you OUT of my life!" She cried at him. She loved this man but she hated him. She hated his smirks and his lies and tricks.
"Oh come now Sarah. You think it will be that easily done? Just to ask me to leave and I will? I cant believe how soft you have become!" He laughed at her. He loved the anger that seemed to dance around in her eyes. She held a love for him he knew but he didnt know how strong that love was. "I have but one request of you my dear."
"What kind of request?" Sarah asked him wondering what she could possibly do that he couldnt do with his magic.
"I want you to attend the upcoming ball with me." He requested sweetly looking deeply into her eyes.
"WHAT! Im not of fae blood! I couldnt possibly..." Sarah started exasperatedly. How could she possibly agree on this? The first night he is back in her life and already he is asking her to attend a ball? What nerve!
"Please Sarah.. It would mean a lot to me. Plus the labyrinth has an attatchment to you now that you have done the impossible and beaten me." He said with a look of plea in his eyes. He so hopelessly wanted the woman of his dreams on his arm for this big event.
"Ok, well what if i decline?" Sarah asked wondering what horrible thing he could come up with to make her attend.
"Well then i leave your life." He said thinking quickly of something that would make her attend with him. "Im sure toby would love to go with me" He added smirking.
"You cant take toby! I beat you already!" Sarah said getting angrier by the minute.
"Dont defy me Sarah. You will not like the results." He finished looking at her. The way she became angry with him so easily made him smile. He loved being able to change her emotions so easily.
"Fine! What horrible outfit must i wear!" Sarah finished angrily. She hated that he could controll her by throwing toby into things.
"Only a gown my dear, I will have some of the goblins do your hair and makeup for the event. I know this is a really short notice but its next week." He smiled at her sweetly.
"Noo.." Sarah groaned. "Jareth I dont even know how to dance for something like this." She said dreading the upcoming event.
"Thats why i asked you tonight because this way i can get you lessons if you would like. You can come to the underground any time you like." He said becoming hopeful.
"Thanks!" Sarah said through clenched teeth. How transparent could he be? He honestly would think that she would want to go there knowing he is there? Honestly! "Now that you know I am going can you please leave." Sarah finished teeth still clenched.
"Yes my dear but i have a gift for you. I promised you your dreams once and yet again i give you the chance for your dreams." He said placing a silver chain with a tiny crystal ball attatched to it. "All you have to do is let your heart want something and you will have it. It will also transport you places."He said smiling at the woman he loved so much.
"Thank you." Sarah said through clenched teeth. It really did mean a lot to her but she never would let him know that. She was not going to be giving in to the enemy. She hated him."Goodbye now Jareth!" She said towards him. He left in a burst of glitter and she climbed once again into bed. She had a lot on her mind. The room was swimming. She hated that she loved this man. She couldnt imagine going back the underground once again.. a place she promised herself that she would never again have to visit. She hated that he could use toby to get her to do almost anything. She clutched the beautiful necklace that he placed around her neck delecately. She looked around the room with tears in her eyes. She hated herself for loving the man who hurt her so much. She was such a weak person and she didnt want that. She stared at the glitter all over her floor through her tears and the last thing she remembered thinking was gosh that glitter is going to be hard to clean. I wish it could just clean itself up! As she dosed off the sleep she never noticed the tiny crystal that she was clutching glow lightly and the glitter disappear. Little did she know that with every wish she made the crystal was slowly softening her heart to the ever powerful Jareth. It was all a scheme he had come up with to win her heart over.
