Chapter 9: One, two royal pains

Uh huh, and yet he did not lie.

They were getting married NOW.

"Now wait…ah… I thought you wanted to talk about this?!" Sarah found herself being pulled so roughly that her feet only skid on the ground about half the time.

"No."

He said it so coldly, perhaps taunting with her nakedness was only funny to her? He was pulling her hand rather angrily.

"Where are we going?! -Ahh!" She exclaimed as he tugged her rather ferociously around a corner.

Some goblins in the hall scuttered about like pigeons avoiding being stepped on upon seeing their master. Sarah heard a couple of them snicker as they passed. She heard only snatches of what they were laughing about but she knew she definitely heard mock smacking sounds.

Gawd they thought they we going to kiss? If only! They were friggin' getting married!

"Jareth, no, stop. I can't marry you. I'm too young, I don't know you," She began listing off. "I don't even live in this world… and marriage is a very serious not meant to be done on a whim! You need to let me go!

"No, yes you can, no you're not, yes you do, now you do, I know that, and no I don't." He replied emotionlessly.

"Wow, good memory."

"Thank you."

"But Jaaaretth….you can't do this to me."

"Stop me."

Ugh! She was sure how to respond to that. "But… we can't get married Jareth. Lemme go!!" She begged. Her eyes felt hot, it was all she could do to keep from crying. The real seriousness of the situation had finally dawned on her since her trip here.

She'd been through a lot today, but in an almost 'do what ya gotta' attitude instead of really thinking about it.

This magic user wasn't going to let her leave.

She was stuck here.

Forever.

Aww gawd she was going to cry and she did then, her voice broke out in a sob.

"Would you plllease be quiet?! I'm trying to concentrate and I can't easily do it with your silly whimpering!"

"Concentrate on what? The caterers?!" She wailed. Her hand was really beginning to hurt, but he just wouldn't let her go.

"Our wedding, you silly git, now, be quiet."

"We can't do it Jareth, I know you don't think so, but we can't!" Heat suddenly burst over her. She felt almost lightheaded, like she did when she gave blood. She had never been good with that sort of thing and almost passed out each time.

"Too late."

"No, Jareth it's not. Let's talk this over like you had wanted to do before."

"No, Sarah, it's almost done. And I would be finished if you wouldn't keep distracting me from my spell!"

His spell?

"This isn't easy you know! It's taking almost every inch of my being to connect you to me!"

"What are you doing?!"

"Marrying you. We do it a little different here than in your world. I'm exhausted, but I'm almost done. I want to get to my room so I can lay down."

Not breaking his brisk pace, he turned and looked back at her. "You'll want to as well once I finish. Once it's done, it will all break into you in a wave."

Sweat was clearly pouring off his head and her hand felt as hot as ever. Taking a moment from trying to decipher what he just told her she looked down at it.

She came to the frightening realization as to why her hand hurt.

Some kind of magic was being transferred from his hand to hers. She saw her skin almost rippling. She knew that it was quickly spreading throughout her whole body.

Ohmigawd, this is a labyrinthine wedding! Some kind of exchange of power!

When he said they were getting married now, he meant it literally as in RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT WE ARE GETTING MARRIED.

Having reached their destination Jareth kicked out the doors causing them to shatter. They probably opened out not in.

He pulled her in his room and swung her around to face him, never once releasing her hand.

His other arm pulled her body in close to his and he touched his forehead with her own.

His face was red and sweating, he looked like he had just been in a fight, but when he opened his eyes to her she saw something victorious.

He gave he a little smile and shifted his weight to her by falling foreword. He was far too heavy for her and both of them went crashing onto the huge bed behind them.

He laid on top of her just smiling a happy little tired smile.

"Jareth….what are you…?"

"Done." He breathed before she could even finish her question.

And just as he predicted Sarah's body reacted she felt every muscle in her body just contracted. She was then blinded by the influx of power crashing in hot waves all over her body. She couldn't feel the bed, couldn't feel the goblin king on top of her… she felt like she was floating in fire, but wasn't getting burned.

And her world was spinning faster and faster, so fast that she couldn't breathe!

Egad! What exactly did he do to her??!!

She screamed then as the power came as a pain pulled her back to reality. It almost sucked her into the bed and then disappeared making her come back to the man on top of her.

She only heard him for a second before she passed out.

What she heard was…

"Mine…now, forever."

And then the world went black.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'

She woke up much, much later, for who knows how long and there was still a goblin king on top of her.

Now that just wouldn't do.

Wasting no time or effort she pushed him off the bed and smiled after the thump.

He didn't wake up.

That was good enough for now so she fell back asleep.
