The Call.
Chapter 2
A girl who looks a bit like a boy.
Jareths PoV
It had been a long time since I felt the call for something other then a unwanted child. But there was the pull, a faint tugging towards the upper world. I swiftly turned into my owl form and swept toward the call, answering its peal.
When I arrived ( in my normal dramatic entrance) I was shocked to see all residents of the room asleep, which was surprising given my entrance usually woke up even the soundest sleeper. I took a few minuets to examine the people in the bed and what I saw shocked me. A toddler lay sound asleep in the arms of a young lad. His blue pyjamas had bob the builder on and his little hand was gripping the peak of the boys hat. The boy was normal enough. A baggy t-shirt, faded jeans and a baseball cap hiding his hair. Yet his features were remarkably feminine. I just shrugged and Waved a hand sending a selection of clothing to the underground. Only enough for a week. Then the boy would have to chose if he was coming home or staying.
I gently transferred the toddler into his own bed before dropping a crystal on the boy making him vanish. I caught a glimpse of pale blue eyes opened in shock before he vanished. Before I left I made the other residents of the house believe the boy at a friends for a week before vanishing myself.
I arrived in my throne room to find the boy gone and one little goblin standing waiting for me.
"Where's the boy?" I asked softly. Despite others opinions I really did love the little creatures.
"Boy master? I have seen no boy. But I sent the young girl who just arrived to guest quarters sire." with that it scurried off.
I was confused. Girl? I only sent back a young boy. Shaking my head I walked toward the guest room to see what was going on.
As I opened the door I saw the young lad looking over the labyrinth in wonder.
"You have rather confused my goblins." I said in a silky voice causing him to turn in shock.
"Your him aren't you? You're the goblin king."
I shuddered at that line. Why do they always say that when they see me? isn't it obvious? Besides something about that voice troubled me.
"What your name?" I asked politely.
"Katsa, you highness."
Ok now I was confused. A girls name for a boy????
"Strange name for a boy." I commented not expect him to start laughing.
"Boy Sir? I am no boy" he bent over laughing.
" Are you not? Don't lie I can see the truth before me." who did the whelp think I am? He may be able to convince the goblins but not me.
To my shock my angry tone did nothing to stop him laughing, if anything it made him laugh louder.
"Look," he said in-between gasps "Ill prove it."
With that he removed his hat, revelling his short black hair. To my wonderer he started to pull grips from it, hair slowly uncurling and tumbling down his neck to stop at his shoulder. I could see my mistake imminently. This girl was just dressed like a boy.
Oh dear. was all I thought as my guest kept laughing. I seemed to have made a mistake.
