Not a Queen (Jareth x M! Reader)

Chapter 8

TW: Firey's Lmao, character death, unskippable chapter sorry-

The ground shifted under you and you fell. 

"JARETH!" You yelled, even though you didn't know who that was. You knew you could trust them. Whoever they were. 

Jareth rushed forward as he watched you fall. He would not let anything happen to you....He coughs. He would need to get rid of the...fors...what was he doing here?

~*~

Rustles in the trees made you quickly get up and look around for what the small Goblin described. 

Bones rattled as a chorus started humming and singing. Steam popped up along the walls as you saw shadows inside of them of monkey like creatures. They moved almost hypnotically and you looked around for a weapon. A long stick lay on the ground. 

When the sun goes down
And the bands are back to back
The brothers come round
I get out of my dirty bed

I shake my pretty little head-

Their heads jump up, severed from their neck. That sobered you up real fast. The adrenaline was rushing fast. You needed to get out of here. You still felt woozy, but you saw a stick that was close by.

You held it up like a (bat/golf club/rugby thingy).

One popped out and tried to reach at you. You whacked it with a stick. It moved back hissing at you. "Looks like this runner wants to play a game! How long can it run? Hitting me was a bad move player." It looked up and hit a whistle note and many more jumped. It scratched at your arm and tore your sleeve and leaving a small cut.

Tap my pretty little feet
Feelin' brighter than sunlight
Louder than thunder
Dancin' like a yo-yo

One wrapped it's long grubby fingers around your neck and tried to separate your head. "Oh it's just like the others!" "You know what to do!" You whirled around and smacked the head with the stick and it flew off. You stumble back terrified as the body kept moving. "Gah!" 

One grabbed your ankle and tried to pull your leg off, you barely managed to shake him off and they toppled you over as you tried to pull all of your punches. Your head flew backwards and you looked behind you.You saw a path leading up to a cliff. 

You get an idea.

You kick a few off and finally wrench free. "H-hey! Uglies!" They all turned their heads toward you as they were putting one's head on. "If you want me come catch me!" You ran as fast as you could, leaving them behind in the dust. "COME BACK HERE!" "Yeah chilly DOWN with us!" 

We can show you a good time!

And we don't charge not'ing
Just strut your nasty stuff 
Wiggle in the middle

YEAH

You climb up the slope really fast and see a boulder. "Beyonce? God? Anybody please help me." You mutter as you push the boulder towards the edge where the Firey's were running. It finally got to the edge and it fell down onto the group. You could hear a sickening squelch. 

What had you done?

You started panicking, and you backed up shaking. You just killed these creatures. Your back hit the wall and you yelped, whirling around. It was just a wall. You didn't want to see the mess you had made. 

You slid down the wall looking at the empty space. You buried your face into your knees and breathed erratically. 

Footsteps came up to you, but you didn't move. You didn't want to see what else was out there. 

An arm goes around your shoulder and you tense up. You look up a little and see Jareth. 

Oh that's who he was...how could you forget him.

He wasn't looking at you yet, but he used his other arm to hold you close. 

"I'm sorry." you barely could get the words out. You were still shaking. 

"Y/n?" Jareth finally says.

"Yes?" You ask, ignoring your voice crack.

"Did they hurt you?" Jareth asks. "Well they-" "Did they hurt you?" He repeats himself. 

"Yes." You said.

"Then it was better you got to them before I did. Because I would not have been as kind." Jareth finally looks over to you. You blinked trying to read his expression. 

He moves forward and says "I'm glad you're alright."

You swallow thickly and look down at his lips and then back up at him. Was this really about to happen? 

He moved forward pressing his lips on yours, his head tilted slightly. His hand goes to the back of your head and you hold him around his waist as you lean more into him. 

You both pull back. You were lightly shuddering, and Jareth's breath caught. 

"I should have asked first." Jareth says. 

"I...Well I..."

You fall forwards a little, falling unconscious. 

"Was that necessary Tiq?" Jareth asked annoyed. 

"I was very uncomfortable having to be here. Have a moment somewhere else." Tiq says. 

"You're right. It wouldn't be comfortable having a full on confession after the murder of monkeys." Jareth said. 

Jareth sighs and picks you up.

"Let's get you home Y/n."
