Chapter 10- the big one-oh
Thank you for your reviews, I woke up this morning and found six delightful emails in my inbox telling me that you wonderful people had commented. Yay! stuffs face with virtual cake
The tree dragon spits out a bunch of leaves and smiles toothily at the reviewers "Ginabella59, annependragon, CoffeeKris, aserene, futrCSI140, notwritten and hazlgrnLizzy you are awesome" Star Girl beats the tree dragon with a stick until he crawls away.
This story is written for my own amusement and yours if you happen to like my ridiculous way of writing. The tree dragon is a creation of my own, how do you know it doesn't exist ; ) you never know! Sorry if I piss people off with my lack of knowledge. I do not own Labyrinth or Jareth or anything, except maybe the tree dragon, Demetria and Darien.
Sarah snuggled down further into her sleeping bag and sighed contentedly...hang on...sleeping bag? Sitting abruptly she gazed around her. She was in the forest, the fire from last night had burned down until it was just a few glowing embers, the horses were on their feet and eating something but Jareth was nowhere to be seen.
"Probably out congratulating that dam tree dragon for scaring me so much" she muttered under her breath and took the opportunity to change into her day clothes using magic without having to worry that the Goblin King was watching her. Seeing the mess Jareth had left my the camp fire she assumed Jareth had already eaten and so pulling some food from one of Robin's many packs she munched away while looking around. Sunlight fell through the gaps in the branches overhead lighting the forest floor, everything was silent apart from the horses snorting.
Half an hour passed and Sarah grew bored. She packed everything up and stood waiting for the Goblin King to appear. "Where the hell is he?" she grumbled.
"Behind you" he replied lightly suddenly behind her and breathing his words into her neck which sent shivers up her spine. Smirking he jumped onto Sparta's back "Come on let's go"
Sarah frowned at him and pointed to her horse "How many times do I have to go through this Jareth? I. Can't. Get. On!" He just grinned and nodded before speaking in a commanding tone.
"Robin, kneel" The tall horse sank to the ground and Sarah got onto his back uneasily. Jareth told him to stand up and they were on their way.
Riding through the countryside get's a bit boring after a while so let's speed it up a bit.
4 days later
This was weird, they were standing in the shadows of the mountains and around her was the same green and cheery landscape which they had been passing through for the past 5 days. At Robin's and Sparta's hooves however was a clear line where grass ended and snow began.
Jareth spoke to her from his horse. "From this point onwards we cannot use magic in any shape or form I'm afraid are you ready?" Sarah nodded.
Im sorry! I have to stop writing for a while, my muse...it has deserted me! Jareth and Sarah are making me bored at the mo. Please forgive me while I take a short break to do something else. It's taken me most of the day just to get this rubbish out. Review anyway, this is not a complete chapter I will re do it and post it again as soon as I think of something to write. Any ideas? I really need some help : (
