Chapter 15 Beautiful Liar
"Father, you truly think I would believe that nonsense?" as he raised an eyebrow to show his father he was not going to be taken for a fool.
King Odin tilted his head to one side as he regarded his fool of a child. After three thousand years not much had changed, too stubborn for his own good. No wonder it was so easy for him to fall from the upper realms. His views were always based on what knowledge he had acquired, but one should never assume that magic is with limit.
"Dimitri, as my son I have overlooked the rules of the realms and brought you up from the depths of that pit so we can together devise a plan to return Sarah back to us, but it sounds as if you are desperately trying to get back down into that poor excuse of a realm you call home!" His eyes burned with annoyance as he stared at his son.
Dimitri gently bowed his head in repentance "Forgive my ignorance my Lord. It is definitely not my intention to return to the Underworld without Sarah, so you must understand my doubts regarding the marks." Still careful to keep his head slightly bowed. He absolutely had no intentions of being kicked out again.
"The magic contained in those marks are real Dimitri, and it will only take a matter of time before Jareth wins Sarah over. If he does, it won't matter if believe it or not." He approached his son and placed his hand on his neck.
"I will not allow it to happen, that is why I tell you again son, "his eyes bore into Dimitri's "Sarah must and will be my Queen. It is the only way to remedy this situation you boys have brought upon yourselves."
King Odin turned from his son and faced the beautiful painting he had had for over three thousand years, it sat in its place right across from his enormous oval bed, where every night he would stare at her and wonder what it was about her that had him enchanted.
As King Odin was lost in his thoughts of Sarah, Dimitri looked suspiciously around his fathers private chambers. Not for one minute did he believe his fathers revelation regarding the birth marks placed by Jareth and him would cause such a fate. He knew his father was more conniving then the both of them combined. Especially seeing how he's staring at her portrait. But he would have to play this out smart, for what if his father was telling the truth.
"Father, should we then not starrr….." Dimitri's words were cut short as he doubled over in pain. Intense unbearable pain gripped him like nothing he had ever felt before. As if someone had stuck a knife inside him and began twisting and cutting him from the inside out. Beads of sweat covered his brow in an instant as he cried out in pain and fell to the floor.
King Odin cursed aloud as he rushed over to Dimitri. He tried to ease his son's pain but it was no good. The spell was only fulfilling its purpose and did not yield to any of his commands. He cursed again at Jareth and Sarah for this was not how it was to end. "Dimitri, listen to me!" he kneeled and pulled his son close "you will not perish!" he yelled at his son as to frighten him into obedience but it feel on def ears for Dimitri could not understand anything his father was saying. All that existed was pain, unbearable endless pain. Odin knew his son had minutes left, if he could endure that long. There was nothing he could do for him now, except hold him and try to be as much of a comfort a father can be to a dying son.
Jareth feed on Sarah and it was like nothing he had ever felt and tasted before. It was erotic and yet sensually satisfying at the same time. Hunger and Lust quenched with just a taste. A nectar so succulent he couldn't remember even the food of the Gods being this delicious. It filled his senses and renewed powers. And it also gave him full access into Sarah's mind.
He heard her thoughts, felt her betrayal and hurt as if it were his own. Her blood making its way into his made Jareth feel her emotions as if they were his own. . She was more hurt from Jareth betrayal then Dimitri's.
He stopped at once and closed the wound with a flick of the tongue. He didn't want to look at her for his shame was great. It was one thing to not tell her because she wouldn't understand but it was a whole different thing to know she would have understood and he didn't have faith in her.
"Why Jareth" Sarah said brokenly as a single tear went down her face.
He moved off of her and the bed as he quickly dressed himself.
"Answer me!!!" she yelled.
He did as she said and he was speechless for the first time in his life. He didn't know what to say. A part of him wanted to tell her to stop being so dramatic and the other part where his heart was wanted nothing more then to beg for forgiveness even if it was for eternity. To erase this one moment where he lost all control and where he feared he might have lost her.
"Would you understand now Sarah if I told you why?" he moved closer to her and placed a knee on the bend "Would you forgive and forget my transgressions against you" as he placed himself in front of her kneeling on the bed ready to gravel and beg for her to forgive him something snapped inside of him and he stopped dead in his tracks. He felt cold and a very, very powerful essence come to life within him and he had no control over it.
Sarah became wary of the situation when he stopped pleading for forgiveness. She sensed a change in the air. Something was not right. Her whole being shivered and she felt cold, very cold and exposed with only a bed sheet coving her at the moment, she was about to dress herself with her newly recovered magic when she glanced at Jareth and froze. His eyes were black and he was staring at her as if she were a new found toy. It sent chills up and down her spine again. He had always gazed upon her with lust from time to time but never in this manner. Something Sinister and dangerous was staring at her and she didn't like it one bit. She turned and tried to get off the bed but he was on her in an instant. She moved her legs trying to hit him anywhere but at once her legs were bound by rope and so where her arms. She closed her eyes and tried to use her magic but to no avail, she was too panicked to even search for the right spell.
"Hello Sarah, my, my you have grown to a very pretty creature better then the first time you were created" a strange deep multi-layered voice spoke through what was supposed to be Jareth.
Her heart pounding in her chest she asked "W-who are you, and where is Jareth."
With an evil dark smile it replied "Dramatic as always Sarah, really how can you not know the Labyrinth you conquered" as it lowered its head and began to kiss her neck and trail down lower and lower. "Now don't you think it only fair for us to conquer you" as it ripped the sheet off her, exposing her totally.
Sarah screamed thinking it might be a way to make this monster that had taken over Jareths body to stop but it was useless. It was going to rape her and who knows what else if she couldn't figure out a way to stop it.
Jareth and his damm bubbles, if they weren't trapped in this secluded sphere there might have been a chance. The only person she could call was her mate and that was Jareth, who at the moment was definitely not himself.
She tried moving again but it was useless she could barely move an inch and with it on top of her already sore body she stuck. Maybe if she agitated it enough it might not want to do what it was doing with its tongue and hands all over her chest. Couldn't hurt to try she thought "So, so you're the puny labyrinth that was to be a challenge."
It stopped and looked at her suspiciously then laughed in that disturbing layered voice as it made its clothes disappear. And Sarah's eyes were as wide as can be as she stared at what had become of Jareths body. It was more broad and muscular where before it was slim but toned. And oh my, he definitely had become a lot bigger. Fear gripped her for her words hadn't stopped it but made it more anxious for the kill! If only she could call Dimitri now she would even King Odin. She continued to call Jareth's name but it just laughed and told her he was on holiday for a very long, long time! With no hope left to her as she felt him enter her, she cried out Dimitri's name in hopes that if any bond still existed between them he would find her.
King Odin continued to hold his son as he cried and jerked in pain. Then at once he stopped thrashing, and Odin thought he had perished. But noticed the rise and fall of Dimitri's chest, he was alive but how. Just as sudden as the pain had began in Dimitri, it stopped. He opened his eyes and looked at his father with a curiosity.
"Father I think you're a few thousand years late for this sort of bonding" as he arched his eyebrow at him.
King Odin quickly recovered himself and they both stood up.
"Do you remember what happened to you Dimitri?" as he assessed his son for any injuries.
"The fact that I just experienced the worst kind of pain, ever, and that Jareth almost won Sarah, yes father I remember everything." He replied a bit disgusted with himself for being so powerless in front of his father.
"Almost you say Dimitri" as he pondered the thought.
"Yes father almost, Jareth obviously was not successful in wooing Sarah into…." He stopped his explanation as he heard her.
"Its Sarah" he closed his eyes found the link between them easily. He could sense her fear. Why was she afraid and where was Jareth.
"She is in danger, we must get to her but I will need your powers to help me break through the wards Jareth has put, with my bond and your magic I can break through."
King Odin only nodded and stood by Dimitri's side as they were both transported to where Sarah was waiting.
Well that was a surprise for me too, I wasn't expecting Jareth to go all me, myself and Irene on us but it just happened!
