Chapter 7: Magical Dud

"Ahhh!" Nell shouted as burning embers fell around her from another failed attempt.

"We've been trying out spells for hours! I can't do any of them!" She shouted angrily dodging another ember.

He shook his head thoughtfully.

"No, you just can't do any well. You've done enough to prove you still have power…I just don't think it'll be enough to help anything."

Jareth sat on top of a wall tapping his whip on one boot; he didn't have any more time to waste, a decision had to be made now. Frowning and closing his eyes, he said, "You may go back to the castle now." She stared up at him in confusion.

"Where are you going?" He looked down at her, looking even more condescending than normal.

"That's not your concern, go BACK Naella."

Nell felt herself moving towards the castle before she even thought of an answer.

"Stupid Goblin King!" she muttered.
