Chapter 6

Jareth transported himself and Sarah back to the hill, he held her close." Where shall I bring her?" Jareth called out.

"To the garden" the labyrinth whispered.

"But she cannot enter, she is not queen"

"She can, for she is our queen even if not yours your majesty."

Jareth was at the garden in seconds and lay her down on the grass amongst the flowers; floating white lights circled her, before entering her body. Jareth sat nearby watching, waiting, wishing that they could help Sarah. He carried on watching, praying that she would be okay. What seemed like hours passed, and then as he watched she drew in a breath, she was alive. The balls of light exited her body in single file now a bright red colour before turning back to their usual white.

"We have helped her, she is alive but the rest is up to you" they warned him.

"You must look after her and get her well, for we cannot save her again, now go!" ordered the labyrinth. He was about to go when they shouted "stop" he turned around to look at them.

"You are to look after her, nobody else do you understand. Jareth nodded and he left carrying Sarah.

"Do you think it will work?" one spirit said.

"Maybe, they will have to talk to each other eventually and then find out how much they have in common" said another

"Only time will tell but they must be together it is their destiny, and changing it would be catastrophic. Their troubles have begun as foretold many millions of years before he was even born. The tale of the mortal and the fae. This is just the beginning of the troubles they will go through together." The leader said.

"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered the goblin king will have fought his way to the girl's heart and she will equally win his ,their kingdom will be great, none shall have power over them" they recited together. "That is our mission and they bowed to each other before departing to their separate areas of the Labyrinth.

Jareth arrived at is destination, Sarah's new room it was the finest room in his castle apart from his own. He placed Sarah on the bed and with his magic changed her in to a fine, deep blue, night gown and robe. He felt her head she was hot, he called to his goblin servants, Filly and Killy. Two short goblins appeared; one boy and the other a girl. They were quite good looking for goblins and were far the brightest out of all of them.

"Filly, Lady Sarah will be staying with us for a while and I must look after her. I wish for you to send a message to their majesties, Kherron and Rialle saying that I need their assistance and would like to see them as soon as possible." Filly bowed awkwardly "yes your majesty" and he left. Killy stepped forward awaiting her orders.

"Killy, I want you to fetch me a flannel and water and also any other items that you think will help her, I believe that that you worked with Healer Maya when you were younger so I presume you know some of her remedies." He was staring at her hopefully, her curiosity got the better of her and she replied

"Yes sir , I know of remedies that will help her but forgive me for asking why don't I just go fetch Healer Maya to aid her as I'm sure she knows of far better ones than me" She paused waiting for a reply.

"Yes, I'm sure she does know of other things but I must look after Sarah alone, do not question me any further on the matter Killy. "Sorry your majesty, she bowed and also left.

Jareth looked back at Sarah and sighed suddenly a large butterfly and an equally large but graceful bird flew in through the window. They hovered in front of Jareth, waiting for his approval before transforming. Jareth nodded and in a flash there stood before him two figures; a tall, slender, kind looking man with dark hair, pale skin and his eyes a deep green colour and next to him stood his wife a beautiful young fae woman also with green eyes and dark brown hair she also had a kind face but had an air of mischief about her.

"Ah your majesties" bowing his head in respect "I have a favour to ask of you" he said.

. "Anything Jareth" Rialle replied.

"Yes well,as you can see Lady Sarah from Aboveground is seriously ill, and I am to be tied up with looking after her for a while and, as I do not want my kingdom to be completely trashed by the goblins would you both keep an eye on things for me for the next few days, just check up every now and then?"

"No problem, my friend, I'll keep those goblins of yours in line" Kherron laughed at the relieved look on his friends face he had known Jareth a very long time and he could tell something was bothering him.

"Thank you it's very much appreciated" he thanked the pair.

Kherron looked at Jareth .

"Can I speak to you a moment in private" he looked Rialle to make sure she didn't mind.

"No sure go ahead, I'll keep an eye on Sarah for you." She was glad Kherron took him to talk; she could tell something wasn't right with Jareth today. The two men disappeared and Rialle went and sat next to Sarah "you poor thing in so much pain" she whispered to her, she lay there as lifeless as ever. Rialle kissed her forehead and started whispering some healing magic that she knew in to her ear.

Jareth and Kherron appeared in a guestroom and sat on red velvet armchairs facing each other, the room smelt of something nice Kherron thought, spices maybe.

"So what's wrong?" Jareth queried

"We've known each other a long time now haven't we Jareth" Kherron stated.

"Well yeah since we were children about 600 years know why?"

"You would tell me if there was anything else about Sarah wouldn't you" he continued.

"What do you mean" Jareth replied crisply

"Like why your looking after her yourself and not summoning a healer I hear Maya has an excellent reputation" Jareth did not answer he did not want to tell Kherron about the labyrinth yet even though they were best friends.

"Do you love her?" Kherron asked innocently but secretly amused by the expression on Jareth's face.

"What sort of question is that to ask?" Jareth spluttered

"I was merely enquiring" Kherron replied

"Well if you must know the answer is no, I care for and am mildly attracted to her but that is all do you hear" Jareth hated being forced in to a corner like this and if it had been anyone else he would not have allowed it, but he liked and respected Kherron so he would never do that, he knew Kherron often used this to his advantage.

"Okay, okay" he punched his friend in the arm. "Don't get your pants in a twist, not that you could considering how tight you wear them these days, showing off for someone are we? Jareth almost blushed "it's called fashion and you'd do well to take a leaf out of its book judging by the stuff you wear" Jareth grinned plucking at his robes.

"I happen to like these clothes, they're practical and I look good in them"

"Huh that's what you think!" Jareth teased him. Kherron pretended to be angry and pushed Jareth and he landed on the floor, Kherron was howling with laughter at the sight of Jareth sprawled on the floor. He then cried out as Jareth tripped his legs and he fell on the floor too. "Right that's it you great big ugly goblin, you're having it" Kherron jumped at Jareth and they started mock fighting on the floor. A mirror appeared above them and a shocked Rialle just stared at the pair punching each other on the floor before coughing and announcing her presence. "Um excuse me boys" Rialle laughed .They jumped up in surprise ,both blushed bright scarlet and looked at Rialle before glancing at each other and bursting out laughing. "And to think you two run kingdoms, shameful" she shook her head before grinning again. They composed themselves and looked at Rialle again she looked worried.

"I was whispering some of my healing magic to Sarah and she seems to have taken a turn for the worst her breathings all funny" she paused

"Oh my God" Jareth said worriedly before grabbing Kherron and transporting them back to Sarah's room.

Jareth ran up to Sarah and grabbed her hand "I'm here Sarah its okay" and she magically went back to her lifeless state. Kherron and Rialle just stared.

"Right that's it Jareth, what the hell's going on" Kherron demanded.

Jareth sighed and conjured up another two chairs for them to sit on before he began."

"Sarah tried to kill herself!" the king and queen looked at Jareth shocked "but why" Rialle asked she looked very upset.

"Her father had just died and her brother has been missing for years she believed herself to be all alone , we argued and were not talking, then a week later , last night she did this. "I told her she'd never see me again" his voice broke and he stopped.

"She died" he added before standing up and looking out of the window.

"Dead but she's not, look at her Jareth she's breathing, look at her." They were both very confused.

"The spirits of the labyrinth called to me last night telling me about Sarah, the whole labyrinth was destroying it self because Sarah was dying it sees her as it's queen and is attached to her in some way" he paused and licked his dry lips then something dawned on him "that's it, that's why I get the headaches and the nightmares" he got up and started pacing the room.

"Jareth what are you talking about" .They looked at each other.Jareth explained,

"Whenever Sarah's in pain or very upset, I either get nightmares or get a headache and I can see why now because if she is attached to the labyrinth and the labyrinth is attached to me then we're both connected to each other."

Rialle and Kherron looked at each other shocked "Jareth this is incredible" He nodded. They decided to leave it because he was obviously still in shock

"But anyway when I arrived and found Sarah dead, the Labyrinth said it could save her providing that I alone was to look after her that is why she just had problems because some one else tried to help her." Jareth continued.

Rialle put her hand up to her mouth. "I'm so sorry Jareth I could have done so much damage. She was close to tears. Kherron put his arm around her "Its okay, you didn't know neither of us did." Kherron stood up "We will leave you to look after Sarah now and shall return in a couple of days to see how you both are and perhaps continue this conversation." Kherron announced

"Oh and Jareth" Rialle called before transforming.

"Yes" he replied

"Don't worry about your kingdom it's in safe hands."

"I know" he said and then he added "thank you"

"Goodbye and good luck" and they transported in to their heart beasts before flying out of the window. Jareth sat back down and didn't move, he was thinking and worrying about all the things he had discovered today.
