Chapter 6

Sarah struggled with the chains to no avail. Hearing movement she looked toward some trees. A few seconds later she saw a red haired teenage boy that appeared to be her age.

Randy's mouth fell agape at the site of the chained woman before him. She was quite possibly the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. Then again the fact the girl was barely covered might be making him feel that way. The mere sight of her made his mind cloud.

He couldn't tear his gaze away from the woman in the green and bronze spaghetti strapped top that left little to the imagination. It showed her cleavage in a very enticing tease. The skirt if that's what you want to call it was made of shades of green and bronze sheer fabric. Only what appeared to be green skimpy satin shorts obstructed his view of her most intimate place. His mouth literally watered with anticipation.

Sarah stiffened as she saw the boys gaze go from shocked to lustful. She knew seeing her had caused him to forget his mission.

"Go." Sarah told him.

"I should help you down." Randy said, still looking at her body rather than her eyes.

"Look at me!" Sarah demanded.

"I am." Randy said mesmerized by the dark haired beauty.

"Damn it stop looking at my body and look at my eyes!" She watched as the teenager finally turned his attention from her body to her face. "I'm a diversion. Go, run. Save whoever it is you wished away."

"But you need help."

"Forget me. You have to go. Don't eat or drink anything or you'll end up back here like I did." Sarah warned.

"But I can help you."

"No. You're doing really well. Even beating my time but you must keep going. Don't trust anything The Goblin King tells you. Just go."

"I'll help you first." The red haired teenager said and walked towards her.

"No! Go! Save the wished away child!" Sarah ordered.

"I'll save you and then my niece." Randy said and stepped up to the stone where she was.

"You can't get these chains undone. Now go before you forget why you're here!" Sarah told him.

"You're so beautiful." Randy said as he reached her. Sarah glared at him. "Don't be that way." He said and touched her face.

"Go save your niece. Quit looking at me and go save your niece." Sarah insisted. The red haired teenager seemed to ignore her completely. "What's wrong with you?"

"This is a dream." Randy said completely unconcerned. "I'd never run across a girl as beautiful as you in real life. It must be a dream." He said and went to touch her stomach.

Sarah kicked out at him. "It's not a dream you idiot! Run and save your niece!"

"Ouch! Dreams aren't supposed to hurt!" He exclaimed.

"This isn't a dream. Now get out of here and go save your niece!" She yelled at him. "Don't stop for anything or anyone! Just get to that castle and win back your niece!"

"But..."

"You can help me by not getting trapped yourself. Now go. And don't eat or drink anything," Sarah reminded him."Go red. Just go."

"My name's Randy."

"Go save your niece Randy. Good luck." He nodded and walked away.

"He can make it." Sarah told herself.

"I doubt that very much." Came the sound of a silky voice. Sarah stiffened as Jareth materialized next to her. The goblin king looked over his chained prize. "More time has passed than you realize. That and I had to take a little time since he decided to try and touch you. Although I won't punish you since you did stop him."

"He was only here a few minutes." Sarah insisted.

"Actually it was quite a bit longer. You see I placed you in a time holding spell." The Goblin King informed her. "What felt like a few minutes to you was actually a few hours."

"What?!" Sarah said outraged.

"Yes. His time will be almost up when we leave here." Jareth snapped his fingers and the chains were gone. Taking hold of her left wrist they disappeared.

Sarah gasped as she found they were now in his chambers. "You will wait here." With that he was gone leaving Sarah completely alone in the dark chambers.

Jareth appeared at the entrance to the castle. The clock chimed and he watched as the boy ran towards him. "Time's up." He announced just before he reached the castle stairs.

"NO!" Randy shouted in despair. "Please you have to give her back!"

"Watch your tongue boy!" Jareth snapped. "I'm feeling less than generous where you are concerned." He watched as the teenage boy looked suddenly confused. "You tried to touch what is mine!" When randy still looked confused he said, "Does a certain dark haired beauty chained to a wall bring back a memory?"

"Who is she?"

"The only one to ever beat and reject me." The Goblin King replied. "Unfortunately for her she took a bite of peach and has been returned to me. Who and what she is, is mine." He watched as the teenager lowered his head. "Time to go home."

"Wait!" Jareth looked at him. "Will I remember this?"

"Yes, but no one else will believe you. Do enjoy explaining your whereabouts and that of your niece," He said in his ever present English accent.

"You mean I have to explain what happened."

"Such a pity." Jareth said. With a wave of his hand the boy disappeared. "Talon see to the child and see that parents are summoned."

"As you wish. I trust you do not wish to be disturbed?" The captain said with a knowing smile.

"No, I don't." The Goblin King agreed. "I plan on enjoying my very enticing little dark haired minx." The captain smirked and the King vanished.

Sarah stood in the center of the room for a few moments after Jareth left. She was disappointed the King hadn't changed her back into the dress she'd been in before he'd decided to use her against Randy.

Feeling as if she needed to calm herself she went to the King's balcony doors. She opened the French doors and walked outside. She was amazed to find the day seemed to have disappeared. The sun was already beginning to set. She placed her hands on the stone banister and looked out over the Labyrinth. It looked so peaceful it was hard to believe so much danger lurked within it.

Sarah heard a heart wrenching scream and lowered her head. She knew the teenage boy had lost. Although it wasn't her fault, she felt a sense of guilt. The Goblin King had used her to distract the boy and it had worked.

"I knew he wouldn't be able to resist you." The Goblin King whispered in her left ear as he materialized behind her. Sarah stiffened feeling the King's hands take a place next to hers on the railing. He leaned into her from behind and sighed. He nuzzled her hair with his face smelling the scent of her hair.

"So enticing." He said and placed his hands on her hips. He smiled sensing her fear and began slowly rubbing the girl's hips. "Mmm." He said and moved his hand from her left hip over to grasp her rear. Sarah jumped at his movement but Jareth never stopped his caress.

"Turn around." He said huskily. Sarah couldn't help but shake a little at his request. She knew he'd said he wouldn't rape her but she'd also seen pure lust in his eyes when he'd chained her to the wall. "Are you defying me?" Jareth asked.

Slowly the dark haired girl turned to face the King of Goblins. Her face didn't hide the fact she was wary of him. Jareth leaned back and cocking his head to the side took a very appraising look of her body.

"That runner was rather bothersome. He took time away from me and you and tried to get his hands on you."

"Perhaps it was a spell." Sarah told him.

Jareth smiled amused. "No it was teenage hormones. Seeing you like this made it far too difficult for him to concentrate. Not that I can blame him. Still he was an unfortunate nuisance and has upset my mood but I'm sure you can make my mood brighter."

"What do you want Ja…Majesty?" Sarah said correcting herself.

The Goblin King smiled. He reached out and slowly ran his right finger over her right breast and down between them. "I'm sure some attention from you could brighten my mood."

"I'm not sleeping with you!" She refused.

"You are if I decide." He replied.

"You said.."

Jareth put a finger over her lips silencing her. "For the third time I said I wouldn't rape you." He said annoyed. "Sleeping next to me isn't rape." Gently he moved his right hand over the exposed portion of her left breast. "Touching you isn't rape."

"You'd molest me?!"Sarah spat at him.

"Most definitely." The king said. "If it is necessary. Though I'd prefer an agreement be made between us that would negate rape or molestation. I'd rather have your agreement to do as I wish to your body."

"Why would I ever agree to that?" Sarah asked glaring at the Fae king.

"I think you'll find I can be very persuasive." Jareth replied.

"Oh really?" Sarah said in pure disbelief. "I highly doubt you can say anything that would make me agree to let you have your way with me."

"Care to take that walk?" The Goblin King inquired.

"Will the walk tell me why I'd agree to anything you want?" Sarah questioned.

"Indeed."

"Fine." Jareth nodded and flicking his wrist her gown reappeared in place of the skimpy garment he'd had her in and they left the room.

Author's Note: I know you want to know how she could possibly agree. You'll find the answer next chapter.
