Chapter 5
Chapter 5
Sarah's head was spinning with all the memories that came back at the same time. She could see the entrance gate far down where she had met Hoggle for the first time.
'You're horrible!'
'No, I ain't. I'm Hoggle!'
She smiled a little for herself and started to walk down towards the entrance.
"We're not walking, Sarah." Jareth said from behind her.
Sarah turned around surprised.
"We're not?"
Jareth shook his head a little.
"Why not?" She couldn't help the disappointment in her voice.
"You won't find Hedgewart down there, Sarah." Jareth said as he walked to her and nodded towards the gate. Sarah felt the anger boil up inside her.
"What have you done to him?" she asked in a growl.
Jareth's eyes became cold.
"Now how did you come to the conclusion that I have done anything to your little friend?" he asked calmly, which gave Sarah an uneasy feeling.
"It would all make sense!" Sarah said angrily. "That would explain why he hasn't come when I've called!"
Jareth looked at her with a little smile.
"Or perhaps he chose not to answer when you found yourself a lover."
Sarah couldn't help but to blush at his choice of words.
"Dave isn't like that..." she said quietly.
"Oh he isn't? He certainly considers himself to be." Jareth said with a smirk and put his hand at his side.
Sarah blinked surprised.
"What do you know about that?"
Jareth smiled broadly and leaned closer to her.
"I know more than you would think, Sarah. However, now is not the time to talk about that." He put his arm around her shoulders without saying anything more.
"What are you doing?!" Sarah exploded, but went quiet when the surrounding suddenly disappeared!
It was just her, Jareth and nothingness. Even though it only lasted for a part of a second, Sarah got frightened and held on to Jareth's shirt with both hands and shut her eyes tightly.
She opened her eyes again when she heard Jareth's chuckle above her head.
They were in the castle. In a place she'd never seen before.
They were standing in the middle of a corridor. On one side there were only brown, wooden doors, broadly separated. On the other side there were just windows that were viewing the labyrinth far below. But it was from a side she'd never seen the labyrinth from before.
In the distance, the ocean spread out like a big blue cover on the ground. Together with the sand colored walls of the labyrinth, it looked quite... magical, in a charming way. Like when you suddenly see a color in a black and white movie.
Stunned Sarah looked out the windows at the late night sparkling ocean.
"Still frightened, Sarah?" Jareth suddenly asked amused.
Sarah blushed when she realized that she was still holding on to Jareth's shirt, half covered under his cape, like a little child.
She quickly jumped away from him.
"D- Don't be ridiculous! I was distracted by the scenery, that's all." She said, carefully avoiding looking at his face, fearing he would see her red cheeks.
He smiled a little.
"I'm glad it takes your fancy." he said, obviously enjoying himself.
Sarah crossed her arms over her chest.
"So what now?" she asked.
"Look at me Sarah." Jareth said calmly.
Sarah took a discrete deep breath before looking at him again.
His robes were now hanging sloppily over the window closest to him. Underneath he was wearing black tights with matching boots, a big white tunic shirt under a black vest.
He really hasn't changed one bit!
Jareth waved his hand towards the doors on Sarah's left.
"You may choose whichever room that takes your fancy. They are all at your disposal."
Sarah ignored him and watched him without even looking at the doors.
"I want to know what will happen to me." she said coldly.
Jareth looked calmly at her.
"Now is not the right time for that conversation. Tomorrow, all you want to know will be told." Jareth said before a quite… mocking smile spread over his lips.
His smile gave Sarah a bad feeling. She opened her mouth to ask more, but Jareth spoke before her.
"Goodnight, dear Sarah." he said, still smiling before he suddenly disappeared. Leaving her alone in the quiet corridor.
Stupid goblin king…
She childishly stuck out her tongue at the place Jareth had disappeared before angrily walking into one of the doors.
The room was nothing special, Sarah thought at first. It contained a comfortable looking bed with white sheets, a brown wardrobe and a beautiful desk with a big mirror on the wall in front of it.
The room was dark. The windows were all closed behind what looked like big black doors that covered the whole wall, except for one beautiful door in the middle that was white.
Curiously Sarah went to one of the black doors and tried to open it. But it had no handle and no space to tuck her fingers in to pull it open. Irritated she stepped away from the door.
What is the point of having doors you can't open?!
She turned around to the bed to go to sleep when she suddenly spotted a sand colored rope, hanging next to the door she came in from.
She considered leaving it alone since she didn't really trust the goblin kings things. But, as usual, her curiosity took over and she walked over to the rope. She paused when she held the rope in her hand.
Well... If I fall down through a hidden hatch in the floor or something, at least I'm out of here.
With a deep breath she pulled the rope downwards. A loud crack followed from that motion. Like when you open a door that's been closed for a very long time.
"Oh my God..."
The black doors had all opened at the same time when she pulled the rope.
The sunrise brightly hit her eyes as it slowly rose over the sparkling ocean, filling her bedroom with a soft orange color.
Stunned she opened the white door and stepped out to a big, beautifully carved balcony. Below her the labyrinth stretched out in a beautiful, rich nature green. Sarah almost began to cry over its beauty. A soft breeze caressed her face when she quickly dried off a single tear with the palm of her hand.
She took a deep breath before she went inside again.
She stopped when she saw something reflecting the sun on the desk. Something that wasn't there before. She walked over to the desk and found a music box of glass. Inside it was a doll in a beautiful silver white dress with a big skirt. When she picked it up from the table, the doll started to spin slowly to a melody she recognized too well.
That night returned to her dreams more often than any other dreams she had from her last visit.
She had been searching for Jareth.
She had wanted him.
The way they had danced as if they were alone.
Sarah laid down on the bed with the music box next to her. She watched the doll dancing to the soft melody until sleep took over her mind, repeating that night once again.
oOoOoOoOoOoO
This was a REALLY funny chapter to wright! That scene from were they were dancing is my favourite scene in the movie! Couldn't stop smiling when I saw that! So, ofcourse, I had to use it. ^^
I hope you liked it! Please comment. =D
