Upon hours of being with my Goblin King in his castle, I looked at the old grandfather clock. It appeared to be thirteen o'clock in the Labyrinth, which could have been either twelve o'clock or one o'clock in the morning in the normal realm. "I must-." "I know, Sarah, you must leave to your realm before your parents realize that you are not there; it is understandable." He smiled his perfect smirk before gently pecking me lips with his and ending our time in the Labyrinth for the night. After seconds of being in awe of Jareth, I found myself in reality, back inside my bedroom. I could hear the distant crying of Toby from his room and immediately came to my senses by running towards his room.
There it was, perched at the foot of his bed; the gorgeous barn owl whom I am proud to call my eternal love. Apparently, Toby had a nightmare and woke to Jareth on his bed post, which had frightened him even more at the sight of his glowing eyes in the darkness. I walked towards Toby's bed, picking him up and cradling him. "There's nothing to be afraid of," I said calmly. "This is a friend of mine who is going to look out for you and fight off all of your bad dreams, Toby." I could hear my little brother calming himself down. "This owl's name is Jareth, and he's a good friend of mine, so I am going to make sure that you don't get scared at night because there's always someone looking out for you."
As I tucked Toby back in, I could hear Merlin howling from the back yard. His howls seemed to be echoed by another Old English sheepdog, more specifically Ambrosius. The cause of the howling appeared to be Sir Didymus attempting to sing a lullaby outside of Toby's window. It also seemed that Ludo had covered his ears whilst saying "Sounds bad!" I smiled and looked to my sleeping younger brother, then to the barn owl. "Such beautiful green eyes, Sarah, which also seems to glow a heavenly emerald within the darkness."
My cheeks flushed a light scarlet before I stepped toward the window, viewing the silhouette of Jareth changing into his more human-like form. 'So majestic in both forms; they are gorgeous to the touch,' I thought. "I could say that about you, Sarah, though you do not have two forms to your lovely figure," I felt my Goblin King whisper in my ear. The scarlet that I had been blushing turned a brighter shade of pink when I slowly turned my head towards his. "You are a mind reader, correct?" "Correct, and I know what you think about on a daily basis, my queen." The pink became a brighter shade.
"There's such a sad love deep in your eyes. A kind of pale jewel, open and close, within your eyes. I'll place the sky in your eyes." "There's such a fooled heart beating so fast in search of new dreams, a love that will last within your heart. I'll place the moon within your heart." "As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you. Every thrill has gone." "Wasn't too much fun at all, but I'll be there for you as the world falls down." Apparently, Toby had a nightmare before we started singing, though he calmed down as Jareth's and my last few notes ended. Jareth and I slowly started to sway in the moonlit room by the window. "I love you."
"I'll paint you mornings of gold." "I'll spin you Valentine evenings." "Though we're strangers 'til now, but we're choosing the path between the stars." "I'll leave my love between the stars." "As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you. Every thrill has gone." "Wasn't too much fun at all, but I'll be there for you as the world falls down." "I love you, too."
