To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
'Macbeth' Act: 5 Scene: 5 by William Shakespeare
And so it had begun. The Goblin King began watching over the girl. He would sit at his throne, staring into a crystal, watching her play with her toys, give her mother and father kisses. He watched her grow up. He didn't know why he was so infatuated with this girl. She was way too young and so far out of his reach. There were so many other Fae women he could choose from, yet he watched her.
Time passed on and she grew older. The Goblin King watched as her mother left her and her father. She sat alone in her room for months crying and crying. He longed to comfort her, but he knew he could not. She watched her angry tantrum when she found out her father was getting remarried so some woman named Karen.
'IT'S NOT FAIR!' She would scream stomping around the house. She seemed quite the handful. Time passed and time passed and he was almost certain that she had forgotten about their meeting. It was probably for the best that she did.
She kept the book close to her, and read it almost every night, reciting the words as if they were true. He smiled when she attempted acting out the scenes in the novel. She was quite good for her age. He also watched when she took voice lessons. Her voice was sweet and innocent. He watched as she got one of the roles when she was ten in the Sound of Music. He had heard of the play once, some people from the Aboveground going on about it. She did beautifully.
As she grew older she became even more beautiful than she was before. Her hair grew out longer and her eyes became stronger and bolder. Yet, she was still a child. When she was just turned four-teen her step mother had a child. His name was Toby. After he was born Sarah immediately became the second child. All attention was turned to Toby.
Time passed and time passed.
Finally, when she was fifteen, the day had come. She had wished her brother away to the Goblin King and he thanked the gods for it. He was finally able to meet her once again in person. She was strong and as ever. She fought for her brother. He pleaded her to stay.
"Fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave." He begged her.
In the end she spoke the words and she faded away. He had lost her.
Time passed.
