----OMG you guys are so awesome! I never thought anyone would even like my story, but all my reviews have been so great! I just decided to take a whack at fanfiction, to see if my writing was sucky or good and so far ya'll think it's good. So, therefore, I'm turning this into a long j/s fanfiction. I don't know where it's gonna go yet, I'm just pulling this out of my head so bear with me. Please keep reviewing!----
--Don't own labyrinth but I do own Jake and Marissa---
They arrived at the castle beyond the Goblin City and thankfully no annoying goblins were around. Jareth carried Sarah to his bedchambers, wrapped in a sheet, hoping she would be more comfortable here than in a guestroom. He pulled down the fine black and red silk blankets and layed her down.
"My dear Sarah, how could you have allowed this to happen? Why didn't I watch you closer?" he whispered to her.
He pulled her hair away from her face and caressed her cheek, sadness overcoming him. Sighing, he summoned his most trusted servant Marissa. She came through the doors waiting for her Kings orders.
"Take care of her Marissa. Draw a bath for her and get her dressed for bed. She desperately needs her rest right now."
Nodding, the small elf went into the master bathroom to prepare Sarah's bathwater.
Sarah stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. She took in her surroundings and wondered where she was exactly. "Jareth?" Her voice was hoarse but he could hear her.
"Yes my love?" He sat next to her on the bed and held her hand.
"Where am I?" She tried to sit up but failed miserably. "We are in my bedchambers, I hope you're comfortable here my dear."
Marissa came back into the room and walked towards the massive canopy bed.
"Her bath is ready your majesty"
Jareth got up and lifted her out of the bed. He carried her into his bathroom and set her in an overstuffed chair next to the fireplace. "Marissa will take it from here. I hope you will sleep well tonight. I will see you in the morning love." He kissed her cheek and left, closing the door behind him.
"Well dearie, you'd best get tha' sheet off of ye." The servant girl approached her with a luxurious red silk robe.
"I'll be outside the door if you need me." And with that the elf was gone and Sarah was left to undress herself.
"Well this should be interesting." she said to herself. She shakily stood and let the sheet fall, slowly making her way to the steaming bath. Well you couldn't really call it a bath. It was much bigger. Almost like a pool with a small waterfall at the end.
She stepped carefully into the water and sank into the mounds of lavender scented bubbles.
'This is wonderful, I could die happy right here,' she thought to herself.
She washed the blood out of her hair and off of her skin.
About twenty minutes later, Marissa came in. Sarah had almost fallen asleep in the tub.
Chuckling to herself, the servant helped the poor girl out of the tub, helped to dry her off and got her into her robe. Sarah felt much better and more relaxed than she was earlier.
She padded into the bedroom with Marissa behind her. "Here's your nightgown dearie. Do ya need anything else before I let you go to bed?"
"No, but thank you so much for all your help." She smiled and the girl walked out of the room.
Sarah turned around to look at the nightgown laid out for her. It was white with small spaghetti straps. It reached the floor and had an empire waist tied with a white ribbon.
She slipped off her robe and pulled the nightgown over her head. She then crawled into bed and slipped under the covers.
"Wait a minute, why don't my ribs hurt anymore?"
She felt around her ribs and they didn't seem to be broken anymore.
"Jareth!" He appeared in a cloud of glitter.
"Yes Sarah?" He walked towards her.
"Did you heal my ribs somehow? They don't hurt anymore."
He smirked, and nodded. "I knew I should because you can't do a whole lot with broken ribs now can you?"
"I guess not. Thank you for your kindness. I don't know how I'll ever repay you."
'To love me would be payment enough' he thought.
"You don't' have to repay me Sarah. It is my responsibility now, to care for you."
"Goodnight Sarah." He disappeared once again.
"Goodnight Jareth." she whispered. She then fell into a deep slumber, dreaming of a certain Goblin King.
