As May walked along the wall she noticed that she would have to soon climb down, otherwise she'd be heading back instead of forward. She felt like she was in an eighties cartoon, the background always repeating itself. She sat down and hung her legs on both sides of the wall, facing the mighty distant castle. She tied up her long hair into a tight bun using the last elastic band that was on her wrist.
"Given up yet?" echoed a familiar voice. Startled by the sound, May lost her balance and fell. Closing her eyes she hopped that it would be one of those falling dreams, and we she opened them she'd be in her bed. Or maybe on the white carpet of the officer's house. However she found herself in the arms of the demon man who stole her children. His smug face looking down on hers.
"Put me down." He temper rising as she spoke. Gently and fluidly he allowed her to stand on her own two feet.
"What came of the sweet caring girl?" he mocked her.
"That particular goblin had done nothing wrong… at that moment… Yet you have. So no bloody ass nice girl for you." She finished her statement by attempting to punch him a few inches above the belt. However he caught her hand and held it in his.
"It's true that I may have broken a few rules, here and there… But honestly there is no need for all this." Noticing the new developments that the King was making, the girl starting thinking of a different kind of approach. The girl took a few steps towards him so that they were only a few inches within each other.
"I completely agree." She said slowly and as seductively as she could. The King reached out and placed his hand on her face, she was cold to the touch. Unlike when he was close to Sarah, the Goblin King didn't feel like he need to protect her. She may be naïve on many aspects of the Underground, but she had a will that he couldn't ignore.
"I can give you the whole world." Jareth expressed as he moved his face closer to hers.
"I want my children back." Her eyes went icy, and fear rang through the Goblin King. He shot back her look at her. From an onlooker prospective it would be hard to tell if the two were enemies or lovers, as they stared into each other's eyes.
"Now you know I can't do that." The King rested his forehead on hers, their eyes never breaking contact.
From behind a nearby wall, the old goblin stopped his extermination of the fairies as he overheard the conversation.
"Bring me to your castle then." May placed her hand on his lower back and brought their two bodies together.
"Still I can't do that…" He said getting heavy of breath.
"Then die." Her seductive words were accompanied by her one arm holding close so that he could move and the other slamming the axe into his side. He grabbed her neck and squeezed, May quickly let go of the axe and him and started to pry him off of her. He threw the gothic woman to the ground and slowly removed the axe from his side. He then threw the axe over the walls heading towards the outside of the labyrinth. Hoggle moved quickly out of the way as the large axe came crashing down beside him. The King held his hand towards the sky and his crystals appeared in his hand. The frighten yet determined May watched as he used his magic to mend his broken skin. She watched as the infected blood rushed out and the skin seemed to melt and regenerate around the area.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with." He said while walking over to her. He towered over her, May too frighten to move let alone stand. He reached down and took her hand, bring her close to him. One hand on her back the other was hand in hand. "Now tell me how you know about my past. How you know the labyrinth, and how you know about Sarah."
"I.. I don't know, how I know, I just know what I know cause I thought that I knew!" she said trying to regain the fear that she over him.
"A little less vague, if you may."
"I was making it all up as I went. This is a dream, I can't explain it." The king smiled
"Oh, my dear… This isn't a dream, it's a nightmare."
