Sarah found herself vast room with a rather large dining table placed in the middle of it. The most lavish food she had ever seen was laid out, waiting to be eaten. She could feel a comforting warm breeze on her neck, and for a moment wondered where it was from. A moment later she was jumping away after realising just how close Jareth has been to her.
"I'm not that scary am I Sarah?" Jareth smirked as she moved. She just glared at him. "On second thought, I probably don't want to hear the answer to that." He chucked to himself.
"What are you playing at Goblin King? You seem awfully well prepared for your 'little celebration'." Sarah wasn't going to trust this guy as far as she could throw him. But if she was to tell him that, the arogant pig would probably cast some spell enabling her to throw him as far as the eye can see. Maybe that wasnt such a bad idea?
"What am I playing at?" Jareth knew that little game was going to last a while. "I will have you know that this was all laid out for a rather important meeting that I was due to be having this evening with a rather important friend, when your rather unimportant boyfriend..."
"ex"
"...ex-boyfriend decided it would be a good time to wish you away, forcing me to have to cancel at very short notice. So I am not playing at anything." He offered her a chair. "Now sit, theres no point in letting all this food go to waste, and since its partly your fault that it is, you can assit me in eating it."
"Oh." was all she could muster up. After taking a few seconds to think how to get out of this mess, and away from him she thought of something. "I've already had dinner Jareth, my family took me out to tea, so I'm really not hungry at all and would just like to go to bed. If you don't mind" That was a lame retort Sarah, I must really be tired.
Jareth wasn't taking no for an answer. "You will sit Sarah. You will dine with me." He stared into her eyes, compelling her to do as he said. "Need I remind you that your silly little boyfriend..."
"EX"
"...ex-boyfriend..." He rolled his eyes "...has given me power over you? It brings me no joy to use that to my advantage but if you push me I will." She sat down. Jareth took her plate and preceded to place some mouth-watering salad and even nicer looking pasta on it.
Well, I might as well try and make some small talk while I'm here. She looked up at Jareth, who seemed to have calmed down since that outburst moments ago. "So, er, whats in the pasta?"
"Its a creamy smoked chicken sauce with onions, mushrooms, peppers and spinach. The flavours just melt into each other and makes for a rather pleasant meal." He placed the meal infront of her and poured some red liquid she presumed to be wine into her glass. "Enjoy my dear, it is after all your twentith year over and done with." Taking his own seat, Jareth seemed to watch Sarah with a childs curiosity.
Why is he watching me like that? Sarah was enjoying the silent meal, it was as Jareth has promised, quite pleasant. No way I'm touching that wine though. Who knows what he might do.
"Sarah?" She looked up from her plate to see The King finishing of some fish. "I gave you a gift 5 years ago after you de... after you left. But you have never seen fit to counciously use it? I wonder, do you choose not to use it, or do you not even realise its there?"
"I didn't take your damn crystal Jareth. I took my brother." Jareth could swear she was shooting daggers from her eyes at him. "How dare you even suggest that I took the crystal."She was getting angry with him. Not really what he was aiming for, and causeing him to become infuriated at Sarah.
"Thats not what I meant you foolish mortal! Urg, go to bed. Maria will show you your quarters." And with that the Goblin King stood up and walked out, leaving Sarah all alone. But not before grabbing another plateful of food to take with him. Followed by a large SLAM of the door.
How on earth does he stay in that kind of shape eating that amount of food?? Sarah mused to herself. Leaning back and slumping into the chair, she imagined what was happening back above ground. Did they remember her, or have they forgotten she even existed? The doors creaked open without her noticing.
"My Lady Sarah?" It was almost a whisper. After spotting Sarah on the chair, she got a bit more confident. "My Lady Sarah, my master requires I show you to your room. Please follow me."
"Thank you. I really am very tired, not that his royal pain in the butt took much notice"
"Oh he did notice, he had me prepare your chambers as soon as you arrived, stating that you were extremly tired and likely to be sleeping shortly." They walked down what Sarah thought was quite a bare. But she realy wasn't noticing much as she was half asleep on her feet. "Her we are My Lady, your chambers." She bekoned for Sarah to enter, then closed the door quitely.
Their were a pair of Sarahs favourite PJ's from aboveground on the bed. How did he...? She quickly changed into them and climbed into bed, letting sleep take her away almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Maria stood outside the door, silently waiting. Then she quickly hurried off, further down the hall. Knock, knock, knock
"Yes?"
"She is asleep"
"Thank you Maria. You may go." Jareth closed his eyes, letting himself fall asleep. The large clock in his room chimed thirteen as he entered his heaven once again.
A/N: thank you so much for your review notwritten :D you have all my e-love right now! so this chapter is for you. Aerodynamic is just a instrumental song, so no words to play with but it ends and starts with a DONG DONG DONG hence the chiming clock at the end.
