A/N: That chap was short because of the song.. Don't blame me and my stupid mind lol. This story isn't really a parody, I noticed.. and it isn't that great either. I think I might delete it and start a new one with a similar plot but not quite. Please review and let me know what you think. If three or more people like this story I will finish it and make another labby fic. If less than three like it, I'm tossing this one and starting anew. I need reviews at least a week from updating.
Chapter 11
The Field
My head was throbbing horridly, making me feel like hitting it a few times. I opened my eyes and saw a new environment. Trees were scarce, grass was plain and tall, wheat and wild flowers were scattered about like the clouds in the sky. This new and admirable field almost dragged the bad thoughts from my head. Pink rose petals were falling from the sky, almost too beautiful to believe. I found myself incapable of standing from the awe.
"Kara..." A masculine voice caused me to jump.
Jareth stood over me, grinning like a cheshire cat.
I sighed, "What do you want?"
"Just to see how you are doing.. See if you survived that fall."
"You," I finally stood up to face the King, "tried to make me forget my sister while we were dancing, weren't you?"
"Nothing gets by you. Don't you want to know how much time you have left?" Jareth took a step closer to me.
I shook my head, "No.. You'll probably lie about it anyways. Judging from my progress, I'd say I have about three hours left."
"Correction," He waved a finger at me, "You only have one hour left before your sister is mine."
"What are you, a pedophile?" I joked but didn't laugh. Truthfully, I just wanted to piss him off.
Jareth's grin erased and he grabbed my shoulder, "You think name-calling will change my mind about Robin? I say you should visit The Powers and see how fond they are of immature adults."
"The Powers? What, are they the Labby-Land equivalent of The Power rangers?" His grasp didn't intimidate me one bit.
Leaning nearer to my face, Jareth half-smiled as his gaze met mine. There went my stomach butterflies again; Flying away into the dreams of sudden lust or love, whichever path they chose. The Goblin King's seductive deviance manipulated my mind, for I tossed priorities and imagined what it would be like to kiss a malicious man.
His voice softened, "I have no idea what Power Rangers are, nor do I want to know. However, if they are entities of great omnipotence, then yes, they are as you said, like Power Rangers. You should meet them. They would not bear with your immaturity or childishness."
"Childishness? I don't act younger than I am. I'm pretty mature, just when you pop about with your goblin ways, trying to scare me, I have to treat you as you treat me." I felt his hot breth on my mouth.
He whispered, "..And how do I treat you?"
"Terribly.." My lie caused a smile to appear on the King's face. He moved closer, as if a magnetic field pulled us towards one another.
The feel of his tender lips made my heart leap. I closed my eyes and kept on kissing him. He kept on kissing me. Whatever way it happened, it happened. The rose petals falling from the sky brushed my cheeks as Jareth's strong arms wrapped around my waist. A chilling breeze enveloped us, almost ruining the perfect feeling of the field and the kiss.
Pulling away from me, Jareth stared into my eyes again. "You aren's so bad when you're quiet."
"You're not so bad when you're quiet." I mimicked teasingly.
Suddenly, my eyes widened at the sight around me. I was no longer on the pretty field. Now, Jareth back away from me and let me take in the new surroundings. It appeared to be the same field, but with brown, dead grass, wilting flowers, and puffy snow falling from the sky. The sky was a hazy orange color, bringing a drab emotion to me. How did this happen?
With a glimmering smile, Jareth shouted, "Behold! Within a few moments, the field will immitate winter, and The Powers will float about, trapping you in their tricks. You know, if I weren't in so much trouble, I would give you back your sister and ask you to live with mefor awhile. But, all is fair in love and war. I must be off now! Tata, love." With that said, the Goblin King disappeared into thin air.
Now freezing, I had to find a way out of the neverending field. I could see trees in the distance, unless it was a hallucination. With all my might, I screamed at the top of my lungs for Jareth to come back. First he's kissing me, then he's plotting my demise! How like a male! Even in the real world I don't get treated this badly by men. Except for that one time when- Ok, no digressing. I need to find an escape.
Walking around the field didn't help at all, for the circular poofs of snow fell faster onto the eager ground. Where exactly was I? I'm sure none of the other Labby-Land inhabitants never knew about this. Oh no! What ever happened to Hoggle? Or Didymus? Or Ambrocious? Or...Oh who cares about Nim? He was a jackass from the start. Giving me a poisoned pear! How dare he! But what about Ludo? I actually made friends here.. Now they are all probably goblins or locked away somewhere.
Running faster, I decided that if some sort of powerful thing had to come get me, it would have to be fast. I wasn't going to wait around to see whatever it was. Stupid me tripped over a rock, like in those horror movies when you know you're going to fall but can't help your moronic self leak out into public. As I got up, the sky began to grow darker. The ground quaked, making me swallow a lump in my throat. Here it goes... The Powers would catch me for sure.. They would eat me up, spit out the bones, and grind them up into an energy drink. Wow, for near-death experiences my imagination was sure vivid.
I fell onto my back and watched as the brown grass blew violently in the wind. The clouds darkened into black and grey blobs in the toxic sky. The ground beneath me felt hard and cold, for it was still snowing. How could Jareth have placed me in the path of danger? Oh right, he's evil.
Just as I thought all hope was lost, I heard a faint shouting almost like Hoggle's voice. But before I could look for the source of the voice, something was forcing itself out of the ground.
