"All I want is for the one I love to be happy," we said in unison. After that was said, Jareth looked me in the eyes, gently put his hand on my left cheek, bringing my head slowly up to look him in his eyes, and gave me a light peck on my forehead before everything went black. It felt like I was falling, as I was falling for Jareth more and more each second, and before I realized it, I was back in my bedroom, sitting on my vanity chair, looking out the window at a beautiful owl. I then came quick to my senses that the very owl that was perched on my window sill, was indeed my beloved Goblin King. "Toby," I said a bit frightened. After I had said his name, I ran into Toby's room to find a toy version of Ludo being cuddled with my sleeping step-brother. "I also want to bring safety to your loved ones, Sarah," said Jareth, whom had snuck into the room behind me.
"And because my loved ones include you and my goblin subjects, I won't make you say that you would bring safety to my loved ones, Sarah, because I know you will," he continued on. Just then, as Jareth was about to bring me into a hug, the front door had been unlocked and opened by my step-mother and father. "We're home early, Sarah," called out my father. When I looked back to where Jareth had been standing, I realized he had left the room to outside, where he was perched at my step-brother's window sill. "Sarah," called out my father again. "I'm in Toby's room," I replied back, still keeping my eyes on Jareth. "We went to the ice cream parlor and bought you a chocolate shake," said my step-mother.
Just then, it hit me: 'I can do something in the human world that's romantic with Jareth,' I thought to myself as I grabbed the chocolate shake, and also two spoons, after thanking my step-mother and father. As I walked back upstairs to my room, after I closed the door, I found Jareth sitting on my vanity, searching the room with his gorgeous eyes. "Um, I brought this so that we can share, is that alright?" His eyes met mine and a smile bestowed upon his lips. "That's perfectly fine by me, Sarah." I smiled and I sat next to him on my vanity, handing him the silver spoon. As we finished sharing the chocolate shake, I looked over at my miniature grandfather clock. "Jareth, I-."
"I know, Sarah. I'll meet you in the castle when you are dreaming," he continued my thought. The Goblin King got off of my vanity and gently picked me up, carrying me all the way to my bed, including tucking me in, in bridal style. "Sweet dreams, my precious Sarah," Jareth said before kissing my forehead, making me drift to my dream-land, the Labyrinth. I remembered falling asleep in my bed, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in Jareth's guest bedroom. "Did you have trouble finding the place," asked Jareth jokingly, looking down at me. I smiled and sat up slowly. "Thank you for making sure I sleep soundly, Jareth," I said softly.
"Anything for you, my queen; also, that chocolate shake was delicious," Jareth said smiling. "Maybe it was because I shared it with one of the sweetest young woman in the world?" I blushed and took his hand; for he had held it out for me to pull myself out of bed. "You blush such a lovely shade of scarlet, Sarah." I could not help myself from blushing more. As Jareth helped me out of the guest bed, I found that it was just him and I within the entire castle. Upon further inspection, I realized that he and I were the only ones in the Goblin City.
"Jareth, where are all the goblins?" "They are all out in the Labyrinth," he replied. "Do not worry; I made the chicanery easy for them to follow through with their common sense." I smiled. I looked Jareth in his loving eyes before saying, "I love you, Jareth." "I have waited an eternity to here you say those words, Sarah," he replied. "I love you, Sarah."
ANOTHER SHORT CHAPTER! I do apologize for that… I guess I just didn't know how to continue on from there.
