It was dark. Oh, such a heavy silent darkness it was. She felt immense fear at first, but it was beginning to ebb away leaving her in the pure nothingness. She was standing on a soft and fluffy substance that made her feel as if she were floating. It had almost no texture at all.
She could tell she was barefoot and had an ankle-length shift on, but this was all she could tell about her appearance. She laid down and let time pass pondering silent thoughts. One main thought kept nagging at her no matter how many times she tried to chase it from her mind it was still there.
'Is this death.'She remember getting hit by the car, and the fact that Jareth hadn't saved her. She opened her eyes and stared out into the darkness, and she saw him. It couldn't be him because he seemed to be glowing from some inner light. She continued to hold a staring contest with him until his eyes turned an amber brown and he began to shrink. Fur started sprouting all over his body. A small deformed looking creature, similar in appearance with a squirrel, came scampering towards her before it ran off into the surrounding darkness.
There was a strange object ahead of her glowing brightly in the deep darkness. She got on her knees and crawled towards it when she got closer she saw it was a peach. She let out a gasp and broke out into hysterical laughter. It was just to ironic. She reached out and grabbed so she could examine it closer. 'You know I really just don't care anymore.' And with that she bit into the peach savoring the oh so familiar taste that she had only tasted once before. She felt the heavy urge to sleep pull over her and she didn't try to fight it. She lay down and fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
He was walking around in the throne room trying remember the spell that would enable him to walk in her dreams. He plopped down into the throne and felt exhaustion fall over him, and he gave in willingly unable to fight it. He felt as if someone was pulling him, and when he opened his eyes he realized he wasn't in his castle anymore.
He was in pure darkness, but he could hear breathing, 'Where in the bloody name of the Unseelie am I.' The breathing was deep but quiet and far off. He started to wander off, following the deep breathing that was oddly familiar to him.
He decided to try conjuring a light crystal and found that it proved to be a difficult task, but he could feel his power slowly returning. He started humming the song that he had sung to Sarah at the Goblin Ball when she had eaten the tainted peach. He soon noticed he was barefoot, and bit his tongue to keep from laughing. The rest of his outfit was normal but his boots were missing. He felt his nerves set on edge when the cool granite like material beneath his feet changed to an odd squishy surface. He looked down at it and noted it looked like gray carpet, but it had a smooth flawless texture.
He continued walking forward until he saw a form sitting on the ground in the distance. 'Sarah?!' He stood still unsure of what to do.
She heard muffled footsteps coming near she sat up and faced the direction of the inferior noise and waited. She could see a glowing object in the distance. Closing her eyes on what she believed was another of her illusions.
She heard soft humming of a familiar tune and recognized it as the song Jareth had sung to her at the ball after she ate the peach. Her eyes flew open and she saw him standing a few feet in front of her. He was holding a glowing crystal in his gloved hand. Her heart nearly stopped as she examined his features.
His peircing mismatched blue eyes gazing at her in a way that made her feel as if he was looking straight through her. His high cheek bones and sharp jaw highlighted by the shallow light. His hair was the messy blond it always was. His thin lips were curled into his characteristic smirk. The outfit he wore was all black but normal. When she noticed he wasn't wearing any shoes she had to bite back the laugh that threatened to escape.
"Sarah?" She looked at his eyes and could see the confusion deep in his eyes.
"You're just another illusion." She sighed in defeat.
"I can assure you I am quite real." She could tell he was thoroughly annoyed from the tone in his voice and the way he placed his hands on his hips. She could feel herself swoon in his amazing and terrifying presence. 'Get a grip girl.'
Of course she was too stubborn for her own good, "Prove it." She hissed the command at him.
"Very well," he growled through his teeth before stepping towards her.
She tried to back up but was stopped by his arms wrapping around her in a tight embrace. Then he did the unexpected and kissed her.
