Disclaimer: I only own Jade; all mine u all can't have…so having said that… I don't own Jareth and Labyrinth.
Last Time:
"YOU!!!!" Sarah seethed as the emerald eyes darkened and narrowed at Jareth who still held Jade's chin, but both faces where looking at the mother. "I should have known you were the one behind this; the damn glitter all over the floor should have been a dead give away!!!"
Jade decided it was time she put a say in the matter involving her so she huffed to get both mother and fae's attention. "I'm going back I'll have you know. We came back just to get my stuff."
"JARETH MOVE!!!!!!" Rang out Jade's scream through the barn, as Devil became a mere foot away from the platinum blonde man crouched on the ground.
"JADE!" yelled Jareth still in mid air seeing his charge stock still in frozen horror, without further hesitation the Goblin King vanished from sight.
A mischievous smirked crossed the male fae's face that made Jade unbelievably nervous. "Oh, but I rather like the little predicament we're in my dear." And smirk on his face only widened as the arms already circling around Jade tightened bring the young woman closer then ever before. The blush warming the innocent girl's cheeks only intensified ten fold.
"Yes…" Jareth whispered sighing. "A rare beauty indeed…"
"What is he doing here; he's not supposed to be here for another two days" was all the blonde man said aloud.
This Time:
Chapter 8-"What Are You Hiding Jareth?"
Jade trailed behind a stern and stone faced Jareth as they reached the front gates of the Goblin Castle. Jade hadn't really had the opportunity to admire the large magical building and now found it far more mysterious and awing, that it took her breath away. The spirally towers; the gargoyles hanging over ledges starring down at her; the shimmer of dark glitter encasing the castle in a thin layer made Goblin Castle a very magical entity.
"Jade are you coming, or are you going to stand there and gawk all night" asked Jareth in a rough irritated tone.
"What crawled up his ass and died" snapped Jade to herself as she scowled at his back, but she knew that tone. It was a tone of warning; if he was disobeyed there would be painful consciences. Jade did even know she had stopped walking though. "I'm coming, your highness" and she fell into step with the Goblin King, and remained silent.
Jareth sighed annoyed with the surprisingly obedient woman at his side. "Call me Jareth Jade, hearing my title all the time is tiresome."
The raven haired teen smiled up at the handsome man at her side; all pervious angry thoughts toward him gone. "Sure thing Spiky" Jade giggled after voicing the despised nickname and received a glare in return. "You know you like that nickname…don't you smoochy –poo." The teen burst out with hysterical laughter as she grasped her sides from the hilarious disgusted glance the king threw her. "You're way too easy to tease!"
The silver haired man's eyebrow twitched uncontrollably, which only cause another hysterical fit of laughter. "If you're quite done Jade, I would much appreciate it, if you refrained from embarrassing me in front of my other guest and at all for that matter."
The green-blue eyed girl blinked innocently. "Guest…? What guest are we talking about here?"
"Come, come Jareth?" sounded out a masculine voice that sounded rather young. "Wouldn't I be considered more then a mere guest? I am you best friend and all, yea know."
All the while as the voice spoke, Jade has spun around trying to pinpoint the owner of the voice. But she n ever found it in the courtyard in which they stood. Jareth though, seemed unafraid or concerned by the cheerful voice as he walked further into the entrance courtyard that was overflowing with strange flowers and greenery. Jade had followed the silver haired fae still searching for the voice that now was silent; making her even more nervous.
"Jareth…? What's going on? Who was that?" came the assault of Jade's endless questions.
Jareth stepped into the center of the yard narrowing his mismatched eyes. "Uriel…why don't you come on out; you're scarring poor Jaden here."
"I'm not scared!" Jareth glared down at Jade with a 'shut up' look in his blue and black orbs. "Humph, fine…jerk" she snapped under her breath ignoring the intensified glare.
A chuckle sounded in Jade's ear and she stiffened like a two-by-four. "So…Jare…you finally found yourself another girl after Sarah. How's this one…more corruptive I hope" and the feel of hands intertwining themselves in her hair Jade gasped; the sound a soft sniff was heard over the intake of sudden breath. "She reeks just like the last one; how you can stand a mortal's stench I'll never know Jareth."
Jade narrowed her eyes to furious slits at the obvious insult to her scent. How it was bad Jade didn't know; she showered every day.
If Jareth hadn't been looked at the young woman, he would've missed the beyond pissed off look on Jade's face. The Goblin King found himself resembling the look that of an angry cat, after her tail was mercilessly yanked. Seeing his self proclaimed friend playing and sniffing Jade's silken ebony mane, the tail could very well be being yanked. Smirking opening at Jade's invasion of personal space, he swore he heard her hiss.
"Get…your hands…OFFOF ME!!!!!" Roared a furious and outraged Jade as she spun around, an aimed fist ready to plant itself against the invader's face, but the attack never landed. The strong iron-like grip on Jade's elbow had stopped her from going any further in her assault. Looking behind her, she found a stern Jareth gripping her raised arm. "Jareth…?" she whispered half surprised and half worried from the look he was giving her.
With a sudden pull and an eep from the teenage girl, Jade suddenly found herself plastered against the Goblin King's broad and muscular chest. Her breath was tight in her chest coming out in a soft wheezy gasp as the captured girl, gazed up at her faultless captor.
"Uriel isn't the best person to be around, if you're a woman that is" Jareth said without even looking down at Jade.
Jade's ire by the fact that Jareth hadn't acknowledged her when she was pressed against the frame of his body. Not only that, a strong arm encircled her waist with a gloved hand placed against the small of her back. "Why…he a pervert or something" shed asked through irritated clenched teeth as she turned to look at the person that had invaded her personal space.
He was taller then Jade by a minimum of five inches, while still falling short of Jareth's large intimidated height of 6 feet. The man's silky black hair held an evergreen sheen, and was past waist length to be tied back in a low ponytail. He was of a slim, but strong build, yet not overly hulky or buff, yet the visible strength was equal to the Goblin King's. The new man had dark green eyes were almost black set in a tan boyish, almost feminine face. Uriel, has he was called, was dressed in layers of green and brown leather jerkins. His brown riding boots were worn but not dusty as if he had ridden to Goblin Castle. To Jade something was off and it wasn't just the pale milky white skin and pointed ears.
"You an elf or something" she asked rather roughly. Jareth who still held her jostled her a bit and glared down at her; she shivered from the glares intensity.
"Behave" came Jareth's harsh whisper in her ear.
Uriel just laughed as he gave Jade a once over with his evergreen gaze. "Let me introduce myself properly. I am the elfen king, Uriel of the Arainan Forest; a pleasure to meet such an irksome mortal such as yourself."
"Irksome" seethed the young woman as her eyes spat fire. "IRKSOME!! WHO CALLING IRKSOME, YOU POINTED EARED FREAK!!!!" And with that Jade took a few steps forward a fist raised but once again she was restrained by Jareth. "Grrrr."
Jade saw the scorn in the elf's cold dark green eyes. They seemed to seer her very being and she didn't like it; where she felt safe and protected near Jareth, this new individual made her feel weak and fearful. To a fighting spirit like Jade, feeling weak and fearful was never a good thing and affected her pride greatly. She starred down the evil smirking man with all her fury but even that wasn't enough, because the smirk widened as she cringed; Uriel knew Jade was afraid.
"I think I've scared the little bird Jareth" and the elfen king laughed a pure laugh full of scorn and dislike for the female creature who struggled against her fleshy bounds to attack the one insulting her greatly.
Jareth narrowed his eyes at Uriel in annoyance. "Jade, don't be so offended; Uriel dislikes all woman."
The laughed stopped to Jade pleasure as the Elf king looked up at the Goblin King. "Dislikes…? That certain word doesn't seem to put my opinion to rights my friend."
Jareth sighed more then a little frustrated with both Jade and Uriel; he had a feeling that the two wouldn't get along. "Fine; Uriel deeply despises the whole female race."
The raven haired girl made an O face, but it soon turned a grin that had malevolent intent behind it. Jade had the perfect opportunity to taunt and insult the elf just he had her. "So…if you don't like any race of women…you must have a fetish for men…" she chuckled evilly as a hand came up to cover her rosy lips. "Is someone a fruitcake?"
No one spoke; no one breathed. It was as if the very air was tainted with the crackling energy of both tension and rage of a hellish magnitude. Jade felt it crawl across her skin, burning it just on the surface; shocking but painful. To the little mortal woman the amount of pent-up energy was carving the skin from her body much like the ever relentless furious rage of a pair of nearly black evergreen eyes that were steely and stole the air from her lungs.
Striding forward on long slim legs, the evergreen elf stared down at the emerald eyed mortal girl.
Jade's mind screamed for her to look away; to do anything but look at the man that now stood some inches from her. And with Jareth shocked beyond words couldn't only stare between the two individuals.
"So what of it…" asked Uriel and his breath blew on the pale face of the young woman, "you insufferable mortal?"
Jade struggled not to breathe in the herby scent the elf king Uriel was giving off but she had to breathe. Forcing down whatever the scent was doing to her she found words smiting words to fling in the male's face. "Insufferable mortal I may be, bur Uriel for hating woman so much…you sure look a lot like one."
Uriel growled clenching his agile fingers into fists. "At least I don't reek like some farm animal!!"
The teenage girl huffed shrugging off a very bad comeback. "You don't exactly smell like a basket of roses yourself Elf King! Go roll around in some flowers, then you'll smell like a woman too!!"
"BITCH!!!" roared out Uriel and took hold of Jade's chin painfully, but she didn't let him have the privilege of know it hurt like hell.
"THAT'S ENOUGH URIEL!!!" roared out Jareth finally found his voice from the shock of seeing the unbelievably harsh and below the belt insults the mortal spitfire and the young elf king threw at each other. Yet even his voice fell upon deaf pointed ears, and was forced to grip his friend's wrist and wrench it from Jade's face. The sudden movement got Uriel's attention. "I said that was enough Uriel."
The king of the elfen forest snorted never turning his steely eyes from now a shacking Jade's nervous pale face. "She's not worth my time" and he finally turned to face Jareth. "I request an audience with you so I suggest we get to it."
Jade stuck between the two saw everything in that instant take place. Her emerald-blue eyes saw how Uriel maneuvered his hand so it was holding onto Jareth's gloved limb instead. He jerked the Goblin King away, which infuriated Jade beyond all reckoning, but what got her more furious was something else. As the two magical males retreated the young woman saw how Uriel's fingers intertwined with Jareth's own as he was tugged a few feet from Jade.
"Jade are you alright" he asked taking a few steps back to her to Uriel's disappointment. Jade didn't notice her narrowed eyes, clenched jaw, and the balled fists at her side till she relaxed at seeing the worry in the Goblin King's face.
"I'm fine; I'm just going to stay out here for a while. You go on Your Highness; your guest…is waiting" but it was clear in her voice that was deeply angered and that she was indeed hiding something.
Lining forward just a few inches Jareth smirked down at his charge. "I'll inquire about it later perhaps…?" Jareth spoke in a soft purr that was mixed strongly with his strange silky accent.
Jade felt her knees begin to weaken; her painted lids stared to fall, but she saved herself before it became truly obvious that this gorgeous man before her closeness had affected her. "You can try Jareth; you can try" came her airy replay.
Closing his eyes as he smirk in amusement. "Never a dull moment with this fascinating woman around" he said to himself as he shook off Uriel's hand and felt the elf burn holes in the back of his spiky haired head. Jareth ignored it as he took Jade's delicate hand in his own gloved one. Conjuring up a sphere the Goblin King molded it into an aged silver band set with a sparkling oval ruby.
"Ahh" gasped Jade from the ring's simple beauty; she had always liked the more simple things in life.
Jareth held it up before the awe struck girl's face. "This ring will guide you through the castle. Think of the place you want to go and the light will lead you there." That being said Jareth slipped the ring on Jade's ring finger. Letting it sparkle in the fading light for a time as the two remained unmoving. They never took notice of the very angry evergreen eyed elf glaring fire and daggers at Jade over Jareth's left shoulder.
"Till dinner then" Jareth whispered placing a velvety soft kiss on the back of Jade's knuckles.
The ebony haired girl stuttered for words, but soon found them as Jareth looked up at her from behind his jagged bangs; soft lips still not leaving her hand. "Till dinner…" Jade said finding her voice a ghost of a whisper.
A groan was heard in the background along with a soft "yuck" as well. "Jareth, leave the ugly girl alone, we have business to addend too" yelled Uriel sounding way more then just simple annoyed beyond all reasoning.
The emerald eyes female turned to look at the evergreen haired elf with a single eyebrow raised. "And what kind of business are you planning elf-boy? Hope it doesn't involve a bed!!" Jade wanted to scream out the words at the elf's face, but held her tongue surprisingly. She had seen the look in Uriel's eye and it was obvious that he wanted Jareth, but the mere thinking of Jareth being with anyone made a knot of a painful kind throb in her chest.
"I'll send Crow and Sheera to you" and with those final words Jareth as he retreated back into the dark but beautiful castle. Jareth watched as Jade raised her arm in the air above her head and gave him a large full arm wave. It was the last thing the king saw of the emerald eyed beauty, before the iron chained double doors cut off the image of a gorgeous smile and attractive slim frame.
"I don't like that bitch; not one bit" Uriel instantly stated after the gate's doors and securely closed behind them and they both headed to Jareth's study.
Jareth growled. "I suggest your refrain from insulting Jade by calling her such names, because I won't stand for it! And besides you don't like any women; you don't even like your own mother and sister."
"I have my own reasons for hating them, and you know it so stop bugging me about it!!"
"Very well, but can't I bug my friend once and a while" laughed the King of Goblins. "Now though, down to business" and he pushed open the dark wood double doors to his study.
Uriel nodded and strode into the study soon followed by Jareth as he wove his way around his desk and sat down with a sigh. "Sure thing, but first…I want to know about your new mortal female pet; was she wished away?"
The king of the castle folded his ebony leathered gloved hands together to place his chin on them in a deep thought gesture. Blue and black eyes stared into space seeing nothing. It was a time before Jareth spoke but Uriel waist for it to come; he knew it would.
"She's not a pet, and nether was she wished away; that's the last thing the famous Sarah Williams would do to her daughter."
"Sarah's daughter; that brat, is Sarah's daughter?!" Cried out a shocked elf king and plopped himself in a cautioned chair.
Jareth nodded slowly. "Jaden was kidnapped and brought to the Underground, and she's not a brat, just…how should I but this…" Jareth trailed as he struggled for words to describe the fiery spirited teenage girl without insulting her. "She just doesn't know when to keep quiet to save her own skin; reckless per say."
"A brat" breathed Uriel closing his eyes.
Jareth sighed waving his hand through the air. "Putting that aside, I'm sure your curious on who kidnapped Jade."
"Not really" shrugged the young elf king. "I assumed you did, with a grudge against Sarah and all."
"No, I certainly didn't" Jareth answered feeling rather insulted by the assumption. "It was the Lord of Darkness that kidnapped Jade from her very bedroom in the middle of the night."
Uriel leapt to his booted feet in horrific shock. "Y-your brother; your brother kidnapped the bitch!?
"Yes; Zaynon" growled out Jareth both for having to say his brother's name that drove tremors of livid rage through Jareth's frame, and for the fact that Uriel once again insulted Jade brutally. "Yes, he kidnapped her and I was lucky enough to feel the amount of far and pain she was giving off. I summoned them both here, much to my dear elder bother's displeasure."
"Is that so…" trailed Uriel as he collapsed back into the set. "But why was he after her? He's not one to go about doing stuff without a motive; do you know what his motive is?"
Jareth straightened in high-back cautioned chair, starring intently at his old friend. The elf straightened as well, knowing very well that something important was coming. "I have my suspicions Uriel, and I don't care for them. What I'm about to tell you is completely confidential; tell no one Uriel, and I mean no one" stated Jareth coldly and sternly getting his point plainly across.
"I understand Jareth; you can trust me" said the prince like king without hesitation.
"Can I, Uriel" thought the Goblin King. "Can I really? Let us both hope that I can." Sitting back in his chair, "Jaden is…"
(A/N: who hates me? I know some do now XD)
-O-
"Huuuah" yawned Jade as her arms stretched and reached for the molten gold sky.
She was particularly tired, but the serene feel of the front quad, with all its flowering growth swaying slightly in the breeze certainly made one tired. Jade wondered through the stone paths with evergreens and bushes lining the way. Flowers of many colors and species; all ones she didn't recognize bloomed making patterns in their beds.
But as she walked through the path of spiraling evergreens something caught her eye. It was a small low flower that was nearly invisible between the towering miniature trees. The leaves were a soft pale green, which looked to be as soft as a new born lamp's ear or the velvet fuzz on a horse's nose. The blooming star burst flower was undoubtedly gorgeous. The porcelain white pedals looked soft in appearance, yet something was odd, and it wasn't just the splatter of deep crimson on the edges of the pedals as if the small flower was bleeding.
Jade reached down to examine the strange foreign flower. At the instant her pointer finger touched the edge of a single pedal, hot flames of pain seared upward through her arm from finger to shoulder.
"Holy shit!" gasped Jade clutching her right hand in pain. Grinding her teeth against the sudden pain Jade looked down at her throbbing finger to find it bleeding profusely from a large bone deep gash across the pad of her finger. "Now how the hell did that happen!?"
A chuckle sounded in the young maiden's ear and the pain in her body was replaced with shock. The laugh was silky yet low, holding darkness and derision in its soft vibrations. Jade instantly recognized it and her already pale skin turned ivory as she paled further. Fighting off her fearful urge to run, Jade called up the little courage she had in that certain males presence, quickly spun to look behind her as fear gripped her thoroughly in its grasp. Where the voice of none other then Zaynon sounded; no one was there.
"Zaynon…" whispered Jade hating the feel of the name on her tongue and lips; a shiver ran up her spin as she gripped her throbbing finger further.
"Yes?" sounded the voice once more as hot, smoky and spicy breath blew on Jade's ear and hair.
Spinning around viciously, Jade nearly gave herself whiplash as more ruby droplets spattered across the coble stone pathway. Emerald eyed widened in heart gripping fear and shock as Jade starred back at and into emotionless and cold golden eyes of none other then the Lord of Darkness.
He wore all black, but this time there was no leather armor. The flowing velvet cape draped across his shoulders blew about in the light breeze as dark ebony glitter followed suit. The long mane of ebony hair was tied back in a high ponytail, while the bangs framed his pale flawless face. The evil little grin playing across the Lord's face showed off the razor sharp fangs that could rip flesh from bone. Though as handsome as Zaynon was in clothing not much different from Jareth's, Jade still found she was more fearful then she ever felt before. Only he, Zaynon, made her so stricken with bone chilling fear that she froze where she stood and the air in her lungs.
Jade however refused to let herself fall victim to this monster's trickery and her venerability.
She took a hesitant step back as her other foot followed. "N-no…y-you can't be here…."
"Do you really think my little brother's feeble magic can keep me away" stated Zaynon simply as he followed Jade as she retreated from him. "I'm older and wiser; I can't fathom how you even remotely thought Jareth could over power me."
Emerald eyes narrowed as Jade took a quick couple of steps back then stopped to stand her ground as dizziness began to fog her mind but she didn't give into it. "Jareth wasn't the one that got banished and disowned!" snapped Jade as she stared down her enemy, even if she knew it to be hopeless. "You tried to over throw you father! You got what you deserved Zaynon!!!"
In an instant he was there; standing inches from Jade while her wounded hand in his ungloved hand to show off the long and pointed ivory claws with tinted black tips. "The sound of my name coming off your rosy lips is truly intoxicating" whispered Zaynon in a raspy voice as he lined in taking in Jade's scent of freshly fallen rain.
Taking the wounded finger, Zaynon brought it to his lips and liked away the ruby fluid. "Mmm…" moaned the dark lord as gold eyes glazed over with something Jade did want to acknowledge. "You taste as good as you smell my dear."
Jade, overcoming her shock, growled furiously at the male fae that held her. "Let go of my you freak!!" She wrenching her hand from his and started to spin and take off when black fogged her vision and her once sturdy legs gave under her weight.
Before her collapsing body hit the ground it was once more in the monster's grip. The iron like hands and arms circled around her waist forcing a feeble struggling Jade into a rock hard chest. Zaynon supported her weight when her legs no longer held her for unknown reasons; she hated it.
"That finger needs to be taken care of little one" whispered the gorgeous best huskily in Jade's ear; who only cringed and growled and small useless struggles.
"Get your filthy hands off of me!! GO AWAY!!! JARE-"
Jade's scream for help was cut cruelly short as a clawed hand gripped her slender mortal neck turning the scream into nothing but a wheezy gasp for air. Jade struggled for more air clawing at the hand that kept her from much needed air.
"Scram again girl and I'll see to it that this whole castle is slaughtered" seethed Zaynon. "Now…let's take care of that hand." The grip on Jade's throat vanished and Jade gulped down pure, life giving air; without screaming. "There, that's my girl" chuckled a now dark fae as he grinned like an idiot.
"Why do you care what happens to me!? When you kidnapped me you weren't exactly in the mood you are now; why the sudden personality difference?"
Zaynon remained silent and focused as he pulled out a black cloth and ripped it in half while all the while kept an arm curled around Jade's shoulder's and neck. When the Lord of Darkness spoke he spoke surprisingly quietly.
"I had my own reasons for being on the short fuse I was when I met you, but it's not important. But what is…is the flower you cut yourself on. It's called the Murder Me Not Flower and it has a legend behind it, but that's also is beside the point. The pedals slice anything that comes in contact with it and the poison in them is injected instantly into the blood stream. With that being said, the smallest slice like," Zaynon held up the still bleeding appendage to give as example, "can kill a grown man in 3 minutes. Are you feeling the affects of the poison now my dear Jade?"
Jade nodded for her throat was too dry and achy to speak. She felt as if she was totally unattached to her body and floating in mid air, as the pain consumed her arm in throbbing flames. Jade felt the affects of the poison all right as her body sagged further against the dark lord's chest.
"H-how…is it t-treated?" Jade asked using her sore raspy voice and pain flared; it felt like her throat was in pure anguish and bleeding.
A small almost innocent chuckle sounded in her ear. "That's quite simple really; with the combination of magic and the leaves of the plant." Keeping his words just at that, Zaynon lined down and plucked a leaf from the Murder Me Not flower and placed it in his mouth. Chewing and staring into the distance as he did so, Zaynon never noticed that Jade watched him intrigued yet uncertain of his intentions.
"First he kidnaps me, and not all that gently either, to pop up out of now where complimenting me and practically flirting with me! To suddenly turn around and start threaten to butchering the whole castle; only once again to come full circle and help me!!" Jade starred intently at the handsome yet evil monster holding her as he chewed the leaf more with a half bored look on his face. "What's with this guy; is he bipolar!?"
Zaynon's sudden movements drew Jade's thoughts to a halt. Taking her hand once more, the Lord of Darkness spat the chew leaf onto his own finger to past it onto Jade's wound. The majestic dark male ignored the squeals of disgust and bond Jade's finger with a strip of black cloth barring his symbol and crest. Once finished Zaynon conjured up a sphere before Jade's face as he lined over her shoulder his cheek centimeters from her own. Yet this sphere was far different from the one Jade had seen Jareth conjured, this one was as black as the moonless nights. Brining the sphere and Jade's wounded finger together Zaynon felt the young woman against him stiffened, but remained silent as the ebony crystal ball was absorbed by Jade's finger and the rest of her body.
"Why are you doing this…?" The whisper my have been right by the fae's sensitive ear, but even he had some difficulty hearing it come from the girl he held.
The words thought soft, sunk into Zaynon's head and he chuckled gleefully which obviously confused the young maiden further. "You are of use to me Jade, so I'm keeping you alive. Don't think Jareth is just keeping you under his protection just to keep you from me, my dear."
Jade's bright green eyes narrowed as she shoved away the arms wrapped around her. "What are you talking about" she asked turning to face her enemy.
The Lord of Darkness only line forward so his straight nose nearly touched Jade's. "Time will tell Jade. Now…say my name before you friends appear; they might think you a traitor if they see you with me."
Jade scoffed taking a step back and turned away and walked away. "More like you with me."
Zaynon snatched Jade around the waist to spin her around to face him, pinning the young mortal maiden to his chest. The dark lord stared into the shocked emerald blue eyes for a time and line slowly down toward his captive. "It's a pleasure to be with you…Jade" he whispered in her ear.
The already shocked Jade felt even more shock and fear fill her core as Zaynon laid down soft yet forceful kisses across her cheek, to her quivering lips. It was then as Zaynon, the Lord of Darkness began to ravage her mouth did Jade finally overcome her shock.
Snatching away her lips as much she could, Jade acted upon the first thing that came into her head.
SLAP!!!
Right across the right cheek was the strike planted with surprising force for a young girl. Zaynon's face was turned away but still grasped Jade around the waist, but when he did look back at Jade, she felt as if her body was plunged into icy water of winter. The look the Lord of Darkness gave her, was a look that could freeze all with fear.
"You shouldn't have done that Jade…next time I won't be so gentle" he seethed beneath his breath with so much rage his voice shook. Quicker then Jade could react to her chin was snatched painfully in the fae's grasp as eh leered down at her with narrowed steely gold eyes as he line closer and closer down to her.
Squeezing her eyes shut Jade whispered that hated name. "Zaynon…"
The grip on her chin vanished; the once iron strong arm around her waist disappeared and she collapsed to her knees gasping for breath. Jade raised her fingers to her bruised lips with eyes wide in shock.
"My fist kiss…was forced and taken by a monster…" she whispered softly a load. "That's not how it was supposed to happen…" she whispered again as tears of hurt filled her eyes as she clenched her fists in furious rage but the twinge of pain come to life in her finger. Looking down at it, it only made her more furious, but seeing the snake with bat wings made her think about what Zaynon had said.
"Don't think Jareth is just keeping you under his protection just to keep you from me."
"Yes…those were his exact words…" trailed Jade in thought as she looked up at the clear azure sky. "Jareth…what are you hiding from me?"
