Sarah walked the perimeter of the pond several times, but found she could not find the way out. "I feel like freaking Alice in
Wonderland!"she whispered, hands on her hips. She finally gave up and plopped down on the shore, gazing at the moonlit water
lapping at her feet. It was so peaceful, she found herself relaxing for the first time in many years. She began to wonder what the Goblin
King was doing since she ran out on him, what must have been hours ago. "If he was going to come looking for me, he would have
found me by now," she thought. "He must be angry with me." She resigned herself to the fact that she was stuck in the garden until
Jareth decided to find her. Realizing she had nothing better to do, she decided to take a swim. The water wasn't too cold, and the moon
made everything glow. It was too beautiful to resist, and Jareth wouldn't be coming for hours potentially. She looked around very
carefully, and seeing no one, slowly untied her red robe, letting it fall in the sand at her feet. Sarah felt like a rebellious teenager again,
and giggled as she slowly stepped into the water. It felt glorious against her aching muscles, as she waded deeper…
Jake decided to return to the apartment to clean up the job and make sure that Sarah was finished. What revenge! He hoped his brother
had found her dead. Poor Jareth didn't even know it was coming! He chuckled to himself. "Payback for banishing me from my kingdom.
For taking away my rightful place on the throne!" He unlocked the door and stepped inside. The signs of their struggle were still all over
the apartment. Furniture flipped, broken glass, claw marks in the wood floor. He made his way to the bedroom, fully expecting to see
Sarah on the floor. When he flipped on the light, he was shocked. She was gone! Instantly the rage filled him, making his blood race. How
could she have possibly survived? He looked around the room, and instantly he knew. For there was a faint sparkle of gold glitter all over
the floor.
