Jareth threw a crystal at Isaac and threw me behind his back. I fell to the ground with a yelp and threw flame at the crystal, destroying it. Wait, I had destroyed the crystal! Did I just render him powerless? Had I just conquered the Great Goblin King Jareth? My heart began to beat a little faster at the thought of freedom.
"No love, I have tons of them around everywhere and have lots of them with me. By destroying one crystal you have not even put a slight dent in my power my dear.'' He said as if reading my mind. I broke free of him and began to run to Isaac. Jareth grabbed my arm and yanked me behind him again. I lashed out with my foot and he fell.
Leaping over him I landed in front and began to run again. Jareth grabbed the back of my dress and stopped me. I turned around and grabbed the part that was just below my knees and began to rip it. In the end I had a dress that stopped just below the knee, I ripped off the veil and threw it on top of Jareth's head so that now he could not see a thing.
Running at Isaac I grabbed his hand, we started to run out of the room to escape and I threw my crystal in the air. Right before I could catch it Jareth grabbed my arm and pushed it into a position that really hurt me to where I stopped moving all together. My crystal retreated back into my pocket.
"No you don't Violet! You will NOT escape me again and I will not have you interfering with one of the happiest moments of our lives! You are mine Violet, MINE! I will not live without you and over my dead body no one else will ever have you! Not this boy or anyone else! I am sorry my love but he is one human that you will not be able to save. You might want to close your eyes Violet, because this sight will be one that you will not wish to see. Cover your eyes.''
"Really? The happiest moment of YOUR life maybe but not mine! I do not love you Jareth! No matter how hard you try to say you do I am sure that you do not love me either! You are using me to forget about Sarah! I am not yours and I never will be yours! EVER! No matter how hard you try I will not give in to you!''
Jareth looked at me funny and loosened his grip slightly. He glared at Isaac and then looked at me like I was insane, which could be true in some cases in my life.
"No Violet, you look nothing like Sarah. If I had wanted to replace her, I would have found someone who looked exactly like her. Not her opposite.! You misjudged my Violet. Now please, just come up here, say "I do'' and we will forget about this boy. He can go home unharmed, and we can forget and live the rest of our lives. I will make you immortal. Do you not see what I am offering you? An eternity of life! You will never grow old and you will never die~ Do you not see my offer?''
"I can see it. I do not want it. I am getting Isac out of here and there is nothing you can do about it.'' I said. Yanking myself away from him I began to run with Isac, we got out of the castle and ran through the Goblin City.
I took off the heels I wore and now I was barefoot. Once we stepped out of the castle Jareth grabbed my ponytail, but he grasped the hairband instead and my wavy blond hair fell around me. Jareth bellowed at his goblins to chase us. We could not hide because while my bare feet were silent and I was faster now, Isac's shoes made the loudest noise I had ever heard and they could hear us.
I found a stick and I began to beat all of the goblins who attacked us senseless with it, then when I found another stick I lit both of them on fire and began to burn any one of those goblins who dared to come near Isac and I. We ran out of the Goblin city and we stopped running to take a breath. I looked at Isac and put out my flame.
"Why did you come here? Have you learned nothing from wishing your sister away? Have you no sense Isac? You don't even begin to know Jareth's cruelty to everyone!''
"I came for you uhh- Miss. I saw that in Jareth's eyes, compassion, love, adoration and I thought that you were there willingly and were trying to help all of us lost ones. Then I saw the complete and utter hate in your eyes when you looked back at him when he was holding Shonna. You looked like you wanted to slit his throat the first chance that you got.''
"So, you just thought that you would play hero and come save me?'' I asked.
"I knew that it was foolish, but you were so... So angry that he was doing what he was doing, and I felt sorry for you, and I wanted to help. You are too pretty to have that anger.''
I walked over and hugged Isac. He smelled of some sort of scent that I had never smelled, it gave me a slight headache but it smelled nice, like flowers or something.
"Thank you Isac, but there is no escape from here. I can't leave because I was wished away, well I don't think that I can leave anyway. We could try though.''
Pondering this for a moment I realized that I would not be able to leave. The Labyrinth was a part of me. It always has been, and I could not just leave it behind like an old trash can. I could not escape. There was no way possible for me. Though there might be an escape for Isac. I just had to carry it out somehow.
Later we ended up going to my home and family in the forest. We danced with the wild gang. We danced and sang around the fire. making as much niose as possible because that was always my favorite thing to do growing up here. They showed Isac how they could remove their limbs and take off their heads and use them as balls. Isac was skeptical and did not want to be near my family at first, but then he warmed up to all of us and began dancing and singing as well
All of my life, I knew that it was against the rules to throw other people's heads. Which made me jealous that I could not take off my own head and throw it miles away from my body. Even though sometimes my brothers had allowed me to throw their heads and play basketball with them various times. I had to tell Isac this rule before he could take Mareeve's head ans chuck it.
As we grabbed my brother's heads after things went bad and they lost them, Isac was running around chasing body parts that tried to run away from us. I sat there and laughed at him. Enjoying his struggle. I had changed back into a long white long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white leather boots, I wore a leather jacket over it all and Isac said that it made me look tough.
After we were done Isac came up to me, I was sitting in a tree swinging my legs around and around trying to amuse myself for a bit. He climbed up to sit next to me.
"This is so much fun. I can't believe you spent your entire life here.''
"Yes it is wonderful.''
"Could I love here too?''
"Don't you have parents? What about Shonn?''
"She hates me, and my parents do too. I don't have very many friends. My life was ruined a long time ago when my parents started to realize that I was not the son they had wanted me to be.''
"Stay.'' I said
