A/N: Thank God I added what I did. Now everything shouldn't be as confusing as it was. I knew where I was going with the plot, but I needed that extra info in there to boost this a lil. Ok.. LadyoftheLabyrinth, your comment made me laugh. Ziggy Stardust hahaha! Stellar Raven- Thank you for all the reviews. I know I added a bunch of info in here and in Morte, but it's to build the plot. I haven't given everything away in here. I only wrote all Jareth's info to level the plot out and make it not so confusing. Morte-I haven't given everything away. I already wrote the whole story, this is just a revamp. That's all it is. But you'll like it..I hope lol. I'm not too good with suspense. You can tell.
Chapter 10
World Falls Down
Leaves crunched beneath the feet of Nim, Sir Didimus, Ambrocious the Dog, and I. I, Kara, the great and powerful...Yeah right. Anyways, we walked over the bridge from that smelly Bog of Eternal Stench, and now we're in this forest. The sun is beginning to set, but the rays of light still seep through the treetops. Nim isn't very trustworthy, but I don't think he'll try any funny business with Didimus and Abrocious around.
"I'm starvin' my ass off." Of course it was me who swore. I was so hungry I could eat Didimus and his little dog too. I wouldn't eat Nim though, for I'd probably get a disease. Hmm...hot dogs, anyone? Ok, just kidding myself..I wouldn't eat something that I have at home who is basically a sibling to me.
Nim haulted, causing Kara to also stop.
He handed her a pear, "Take this. I was savin' it for later, but you can have it."
"Umm..Why not?" Of course I was going to eat the pear! Not! Like I trust this damned Labby-Land? I don't think so! However, the pear made its way to my mouth anyways, for pears are my favorite fruit. Yummy!
I'm such a freaking dork! Sir Doodie-mus and Ambroxibup, err, whatever his name is, left me thinking I was right behind them. Nim left too.. He has an easy name to remember. I feel drugged.. The pear had something in it, I know it's true, but why me? Why did I have to eat a stinkin' pear? Why couldn't I let myself starve? Why is everything spinning?
Thud
A ball gown covered my body. It was silver, long, with puffed sleeves. It glimmered as I moved. I was in a ballroom, surrounded by people dancing, wearing gowns and masks. It was a masquerade ball, but why was I here? That question felw out of my head as I spotted The Goblin King walking around. A slow ballad came on, mesmerizing me. Jareth began to sing fantastically, causing me to like him even more.
There's
such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open
and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes
Jareth walked amongst the croud, and I followed him. He started to talk and laugh with some people who glared at me hatefully. The ballad continued, as did the King. I felt enchanted...Under a spell.
There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search
of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll
place the moon within your heart
I pushed by some people and walked closer to Jareth. My feet had their own minds, as if they had been enchanted to drag me closer to my crush. Oh God how I wanted to dance with him. We met eyes, he took my hand, we began dancing...Swaying...Moving...
As the pain
sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has
gonst
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for
you-oo-oo
As the world falls down
Falling
(As the world)
Falling down
Falling in love
Pressing my body close to his, we stared into each other's eyes. How badly I wanted to reach his lips with mine. I so yearned to hold onto him forever. Perhaps he wanted the same...
I'll paint you
mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're
strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll
leave my love between the stars
My mind raced with several thoughts of lust, love, and lingering. Could it be possible to love a man who took my sister? My sister!
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense
for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But
I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down
Jareth pulled me close to him as I paniked. He gazed down at me, though he were going to move in for a kiss. Even though I wanted to, I couldn't let him make me forget the reason I came to Labby Land. I pushed away from him, feeling his piercing stare follow me. Forcing myself through the thickening crowd, I noticed the walls were rounded, mirror-like, as if I were in a bubble. My instinct was to break it, so I took a chair in my grasp. I heard multiple shouts, warning me not to break the wall. This gave me a reason to do so.
The chair broke the wall, as if it were glass, and shattered into tiny pieces. Suddenly, I felt the sensation of falling, falling down into blackness. I had flashbacks of the day, seeing my sister again, making me want to save her immediately. If only I could shout to her..Let her hear me..Oh how much you realize you love something once it's gone.
Thud.
