Sarah was crouched down in the Garden, planting a flower that was called 'Comatose'. It was used for spells to cause people to go into a deep slumber four 2 hours. It was 2 hours because it had exactly 2 petals. If you ever found one that had 3 petals, you could use it to cause death. It was one of the few things that could kill Fae, but it was also very rare that you would find one with 3 petals. It was a beautiful flower. It was rather large too. Each petal was the size of a lettuce leaf. It was the color of black, a perfect color to symbolize sleep.
Sarah stared at the seed. It had the shape of a crescent moon. The point were very defined and the arch was perfect. All the seeds were the same size.
"You know." a sudden voice said which made Sarah jump. She looked up and saw Willum, looking as ravishing as ever. He wore skin tight black breaches, black poets shirt with red buttons and cuff links, black boots, and a deep red silk cape. He noticed her staring at him and smiled to himself. He continued what he was going to say. "I really like those flowers, they are very useful for me, I can't sleep well at night." he smirked at her.
She curtsied. "I am sorry to hear that. Would you like to pick some when they bloom?" He shrugged. "Or I could pick them for you if you like, when will they be fully bloomed?" she put her hair behind her ear and blushed. She sounded like a babbling idiot.
He just continued to stare at her. There was a awkward silence. Then he finally spoke, answering her question."Why don't you turn around." he suggested. She did as she was told and saw that they were already fully bloomed. She was shocked. She definitely did not expect that.
Willum whispered in her ear " Take a walk with me." it made her shudder. She did as she was told and took the arm that was offered to her. He looked down at her and studied her. He scrunched up his nose. "Is that what Jareth is forcing you to wear?" she looked down at her skimpy French Maid outfit that was somehow always spotless each morning. She blushed.
"Yes." she said quietly.
Willum rolled his eyes. "Well I can't say I'm surprised. He always had a ridiculously huge obsession with female flesh." Sarah blushed again. "But I must say you look absolutely stunning in it." the blush just kept getting darker. If he kept this up she would soon be as red as a tomato.
"Thank you sire." she looked down at her feet. She didn't want him to see how shy she was.
"Please call me Willum."
"As you wish." she said. It was silent for a moment. She looked around the Garden. There were millions of beautiful flowers. Mostly that had to do with love and lust.
"It is a beautiful day." Willum commented.
"Yes it is." it was silent again.
"...Tell me Sarah. What brings you back to the Labyrinth?"
"I am in debt to the Goblin King."
"What is it that he did for you?"
"He saved me from being molested. But I have to say I'd rather prefer that then what the Goblin King does to me." as soon as she said it she regretted it. She knew she said too much and knew Jareth would be furious if he ever found out. They stopped abruptly. Willum looked at her in shock.
"What does he do Sarah?" he asked anxiously.
"It's nothing really. Just forget I said anything."
He stared at her with a worried expression. "Does he try to rape you?" she didn't answer. He let go of her arm and started stomping away. She ran to him.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"I am going to give Jareth a piece of my mind."
Her heart sped up."Please no!" she said grabbing at his arm. He ignored it. "Please. If he find out that I told you, who knows what he will do to me." Willum halted.
"You're right." he said. "Forgive me. I shouldn't interfere. But if he tries something again, you will tell me. That is an order. Understood?" she nodded.
"Okay so shall we continue our walk?" he asked and offered her his arm again. She took it.
"You know Sarah, there is a ball coming soon." he said.
"Yes, I heard." she said. Boffin told her this morning before she served the three royals their breakfast.
"Were you planning on going?" she looked at him. He looked arrogant but she saw nervousness in his eyes.
"I really don't have a choice. I have to serve food to the guests."
"Oh. Well that's to bad." he said.
"Why is that?"
He smirked."Well for one you are going to have to miss the ball, and Jareth is known for having the most extravagant balls in the whole Underground. And also because I was planning on asking you if you would like to accompany me to the ball."
Her sank. There was nothing she would like to do more then to accompany Willum to the ball. But she had to work. This only made her hate the Goblin King more. Why did he have to be so cruel?
"I am so sorry. I would have loved to go with you if I didn't have my duties to do." saying it out loud just made her heart sink more.
"That is quite alright. I'm just happy that such a beautiful woman," he took one of her hands and brought it to his mouth for a kiss. "would have accepted to go with me." her heart sped up. She couldn't believe how magical this kiss was. She has kissed plenty of boys before, so much she resulted in mono. But she had never felt a kiss like that. It made electricity go all through her veins. Sarah was quite certain that she was going to faint.
"Sarah!" she heard the ferious voice which made her jump. She turned and looked behind Willum. She saw Jareth stomping toward them, his eyebrows were knitted together. "What do you think you are doing?"
"I-I was just taking a walk." she stuttered. She had never seen Jareth so furious before.
"While you were suppose to be doing your work?" Jareth questioned with his hands on his hips.
"Master Willum, ask-"
"I don't want to hear your excuses. You are to wait in my chambers at once." and with just flick of his wrist, she was transported to his room.
"What is your problem Jareth?" Willum asked. "The poor girl was only taking a walk with me. I was the one that suggested it."
"I do not care. She will be greatly punished for this." he said pointing his finger at him as if Willum was the one that was in trouble. Then he walked off.
"Why do you hate the girl so? She seems very sweet."
Jareth halted and came stomping back. "Do not EVER! EVER say that Sarah is sweet!" he was in Willum's face now.
Willum somehow remained calm."Why is that?" he asked. "Ever since I've come here she has been nothing but hospitable, even when you were rotten to her."
"I can treat my slaves however I want. She is my slave after all."
"It doesn't mean she doesn't deserve respect. You treat her with less respect then you treat your Goblins."
"What is with you Willum? You have never liked mortals until she came. You hardly liked anyone."
"Well people change."
"That is not true. Sarah is the only one you've ever treated with respect. You're not even treating Lady Alysia with respect, which is a huge mistake."
"As I recall Jareth, I am more powerful then her, as are you, so she is no threat to me."
"It still doesn't make sense. Why out of all people, would you treat Sarah with respect?" Willum didn't answer. He didn't even look at Jareth. Jareth waited but he figured the answer out himself. Jareth's eyes widened in anger. "YOU LIKE HER DON'T YOU?!" he roared.
Willum shrugged not fazed by his anger. "What's it to you? You blew it with her. So it's my turn."
Willum had expected this, so that's why he was prepared. Jareth had attacked Willum. They punched each other in the jaw, the stomach and kicked each other in the shins. They wrestled each other on the grass, getting stains all over their clothes. It was like they were teenagers again. And whenever they would fight it was always about the same thing. A girl.
"You stay away from her!" Jareth said after punching Willum.
Willum rolled over so he was now in power and punched Jareth back. The good thing about their fights was that they agreed to never use magic. If they did, Willum would have been losing since he cannot use magic in Jareth's Kingdom. "Why should I?" Willum asked.
"Because I told you to." Jareth answered. They started punching each other faster and harder. "Enough!" Jareth commanded. "This is getting us nowhere." he started to walk away but before he did he said,"I am warning you Willum, stay away from her." then walked off.
When Jareth was out of sight Willum said, "Oh big brother, as much as you wish you were, you are not the boss of me.
Jareth appeared out of thin air in front Sarah. She was surprised, not from his sudden entrance, but from the black and blue marks all over his face. His lips was swollen and bleeding, his left eye was black, his cheek was bruised, there was dried blood under his nose, and his hair was all messed up.
"Your Majesty! What happened?" she asked horrified but also happy at the same time. It thrilled her to see him so beat up. But it terrified her to assume that's exactly how Willum might look. "Did you get in a fight with Willum?"
"That is none of your business!" he spat. "What is your business is your duties, which you were not doing. You will be greatly punished." he smirked at the last word. That made Sarah's heart stop. "What are you going to do?" her voice quivered.
His smirk got bigger, but he hid the pain from when he did it. "Well I could very well do anything I want to do couldn't I?" her eyes widened. This made Jareth smug. Good. She was terrified of him, just like he wants. "I could make your top lower, or the hem line of your dress shorter. I could even make you go around naked." Sarah's breath stopped. "But I'm not going to do that."
Sarah swallowed. "What are you going to do?"
He stared at her. The truth was he had no idea. He thought about it for a while, then he got it. He snapped his fingers. His bruises were gone and he dressed in a cleaner outfit. They were no longer in his bed chamber, they were in his study. Sarah looked around and noticed that she was in his seat at his desk. She looked down at herself and saw that she was no longer in her French Maid outfit. She was wearing a skimpy black skirt, black fishnets, black heals, and a white button up blouse that only buttoned to the bottom of her breasts. You could see her lacy black bra peeking out of it. Her hair was done in a bun again, but looked nicer then the bun with her French Maid outfit, and she had glasses.
She looked at him. "You will start at filing those in alphabetical order." he said leaning on his hand on her chair. It was very comfortable. It was a rich velvet green. The desk was mahogany, and their was thousands upon thousand of books. Sarah would have marveled them more if she wasn't so disgusted with the Goblin King. "Are you suggesting we role play?" she said scrunching up her nose. She thought this was a sick joke.
He gave her a innocent look. "Why no Sarah." he said. Then he gave her a sultry and quickly climbed on top of her. "Why? Do you want to?" he said in a low husky voice. His hands started for the buttons on her blouse.
She grabbed his hands and said, "No. I'll just file these." she leaned around him and tried to grab the files, but Jareth just grabbed her hand and pushed her back. He looked at her and smirked. "Now, now Sarah." he said. "You can do your punishment later." he reached up and took off her glasses.
When her glasses were off she panicked. Everything was blurry."Wh-why can't I see?" she said.
"Shh. It's alright. I'll be your eyes." Sarah's heart beat faster. His voice was so incredibly sexy it was hard not to give into the kisses he gave her on her neck. Then she realized what he was doing when he bit her neck. She started to fight back. "Sarah no." he said in a angry voice now, which made Sarah angry right back. She fought back harder. He grabbed her arms and forced them back. They fought against each other which eventually made the chair fall backwards.
Now that Sarah was on her back, it was much more easier for Jareth. He tore at her blouse, exposing her beautiful stomach. He quietly moaned when he saw it.
"Jareth, please get off." she said through tears.
He growled."I love the way my name sounds on your lips." he said taking over them in a heated kiss.
She had no idea what to do. It was worse that she couldn't see anything. "Say my name again Sarah." he said.
He left her mouth which gave her the perfect opportunity to scream,"Willum!"
The sound of his brother's name made his blood boil. He slapped her hard on the cheek. How dare she prefer Willum over him, Sarah screamed in agony. Right after her scream Willum came barging in.
"Jareth!" Willum yelled clearly angry.
Jareth turned around. "I told you to stay away from her. Leave us!" then he started kissing her neck. Sarah strained her neck, trying to get away. It wasn't working. She felt the wet kisses all over her neck. Then suddenly she felt nothing at all. She had no idea what happened.
Willum tore Jareth off Sarah. Then he threw him across the room. He quickly grabbed Sarah off the floor and lead her to the hallway to his room. Before they could get to far, Jareth appeared right in front of them. Sarah of course couldn't see anything but saw the color of blue so she assumed Jareth was right there.
"I told you to stay away from her!" Sarah heard Jareth yell. "Now give her to me!" he grabbed Sarah's wrist. But before they could get anywhere they hear,"I wish the Goblin King would come and take Maria away right now!"
"Uccch!!" he snarled. He let go of her wrist then disappeared.
"Come with me." Willum said. She let Willum lead them to his chamber and let him gently sit her down on his bed. "I'll be right back."
Sarah waited for a second, then he was right back. "I always carry this with me just in case."
"What is it?" Sarah asked. Feeling for what he had in his hand. He gave it to her. It was a small bottle about 4 inches high. The bottle was black and blue.
"It's a potion for curing bruises. I was just about to put it on when you called for me."
"I'm sorry to bother you." said blushing.
"No problem at all. Now I'm going to dab this on the bruise Jareth gave you, okay?" she nodded. She felt the cold liquid get dabbed on with his finger. It starting working really fast. She felt no more pain.
"Booger!" Willum called. He was there in a second since he was outside the door.
"Yes sire?"
"Bring me the sight potion from the potion room."
"I am not aloud in Sire." Booger said looking down at his feet.
"Okay fine, stay here with Miss Sarah. I'll be right back." then Willum ran to the potion room.
"How are you miss Sarah?" Booger asked.
"Fine. It's rather strange not being able to see anything." she said.
"Yes. One time his Maesty put that spell on me. I had to polish his shoes without being able to see anything but blackness before I could get my sight back."
Sarah gasped. "He made you blind?" Booger nodded. But decided to answer out loud, knowing that Sarah couldn't see the gesture. "Yes."
"That's awful. What did you do?"
"The same thing as you. I got distracted from my duties."
"Oh. So my punishment was just basically losing me vision?" she was furious that Jareth took advantage of the situation that she couldn't see.
"Yes miss. Until you earn it, you will get your sight back. But that all changes now that Mater Willum is going to get the potion. If Master Willum hadn't saved you he would have destroyed those glasses. He just wanted to see you in your full secretary outfit."
"Oh. Hey how did you know I was wearing that?"
Booger looked embarrassed." I uh... spy a lot. It's just what Goblins do, we just can't interfere."
"Oh."
There was a moment of silence until Willum came back in the room. "Here we are." he took Sarah's hand and put it in her palm. "The sight potion. Try to swallow all of it. It will only work if you do." He turned toward Booger and said,"That would be all Booger." Booger bowed and quietly left the room.
Sarah unscrewed the cap and swallowed. She had trouble because it was really salty and the texture was slimy. When she was done she handed the bottle back to Willum. Her sight slowly came back. After a couple minutes her sight was crystal clear like before, maybe even better. She looked around the room relieved that she could see again. Everything was red and black. She looked back at Willum and her eyes widened. She saw the bruises that were on his face. He was dabbing the Brusing potion under his eyes.
"Here let me help." he handed her the potion. She started by finishing up the eye. He dabbed his forehead, cheek and jaw. The last thing she needed to do was his lips. She dabbed the liquid on his fingers and screwed the top back on. Her heart started to beat a tiny bit faster. She slowly touched his bottom lip, he stared at her with a serious face. Sarah pretended not to notice. She stroked the top lip even slower the bottom lip. When she was done she removed her hand and they stared at each other. With each slow passing second they would get a little closer. Each time they got closer they would tilt their head slightly to the right. They closed their eyes, and when they were just a centimeter away, they heard a knock at the door.
Sarah's eyes flew open. She pulled back, blushing into a deep crimson. "Yes?" Willum asked. Booger opened the door.
"Lady Alysia would like to see Lady Sarah."
Sarah cleared her throat. "Will that be all Sire?"
She looked at his face. He looked slightly disappointed. All he did was nod yes.
Sarah got up off the bed and walked out the door. Booger lead her to see Lady Alysia.
