High Elf Queen

I must confess, this chapter isn't all mine…I was looking through some old Neopets magazines and saw this story. I tweaked it, added stuff, got rid of stuff and here it is!

"…To think that I was actually EXCITED to leave that overcrowded petshop! It has been the worst thing that has ever happened to me! You suuure proved me wrong, didn't you? You!" Jareth howled at the top of his lungs, unable to contain his fury. His owner, a certain brunette named Sarah, gaped at him, eyes wide. Jareth paced back and forth in front of her, his tail waving madly in the air.

"You lock me in this stupid, empty house and torture me! You sicken me!" Jareth bared his teeth and walked in circles around Sarah.

"Don't give me that look, you swine! You know how cruel you are! Shall I list your offences?" he planted his feet on the ground and glared up at her. "Let's start with the practice you call 'holding and petting'? I like all four of my feet stuck on the ground, I'll have you know. I do not appreciate dangling from your arms like laundry! When I am sleeping, the last thing I want is to be picked up! I do NOT want my fur rubbed in different directions, nor do I want to be bounced up and down like a ball. Speaking of balls, those red bouncy 'toys' that you buy me are the oddest contraptions I have ever seen! When you coo at me in that irritatingly high voice and throw one directly at me, I don't feel the last bit inclined to be playful!"

Sarah cocked her head and leaned down. "What's wrong, Jareth? Do you need to go out?" Jareth nearly screamed.

"You mock my pain!!! You have no respect for how I feel! Why else would you try to poke holes in my skin with that abominable bristly thing, or throw me in the tub and nearly drown me? And the bows! Pink bows everywhere! Thanks to you, no one can respect me!" he sighed. "I had dreams, you know. I dreamed of being a leader among pets, world-renowned for my fearlessness and courage. I wanted to be free! But you! YOU drag me down those streets in a sick parade, making a spectacle of my captivity! YOU MONSTER!!!!!!!!"

Silence. Then, Sarah finally spoke, desperation in her voice. "Jareth, I'm sorry, but I don't know why you're yowling at me. I hope there's nothing wrong…" she patted his head absentmindedly. "Perhaps a walkie will cheer you up, eh?" She smiled and reached for the pink leash, and Jareth once again took up wailing…

There, another chapter finished! Hope you liked it!

Love,
