Beyond the Goblin City

Story Time

Sarah's POV:
Jareth has been going to chemo for a month now, and his state of illness has gone up and down. After a week he looked much better, but then the next day he started to lose weight and coughed up blood at one point. Now, it's a good stage, but I don't know how long it's going to last. I'm praying. However, I still haven't told Grant how I met Jareth. I'm to scared. I mean he obviously won't believe me, because who would? I've made excuses about not being able to do it, but today was it.

"Sarah, can I talk to you in the kitchen real quick?"
I was in the middle of reading a rather good book, and obviously I didn't want to talk to him.

I walked downstairs slowly.

"So Sarah, it's been a month. Can you FINALLY tell me how you know Jareth. He's nice, but. . ." He leaned forward to whisper. ". . .he's kinda obsessed with you."

"So Jareth. Um, when I was younger, I took care of Toby a lot and. . ." I looked at him. He was nodding off, of course. I kept talking. ". . .and one night I got so mad that Toby was crying that I yelled a line from Labyrinth, that play I watched." I had stopped talking. I was looking off at a window, remembering the owl, the goblins, and the glitter.
"Sarah. Sarah!"
"Sorry Grant. So I said I wish the Goblin King would come and take Toby. And he did." Grant looked like he was waiting and then, slowly, his eyes jumped out of his head, and landed on the table.
"Do you mean to tell me that Jareth is a magical Goblin King that takes away kids because they ask?"
"Yes?"
"Thats it. I'm leaving."
"What!?!"
"I am not living with a crazed weirdo, her fake stories, and her weird friend who has brainwashed her into thinking he's a wizard."
He grabbed his jacket and stormed out the door. I ran upstairs to Jareth and threw myself into his arms. He heard.
"He didn't-"
"No one does." Then he leaned down and gave me a slow, little kiss. He moved over so we could sleep together, holding a secret that no one would believe.

Did you like it. I was cheering as I wrote it and my party told me to shut up. I'll be back on Saturday. Bye!
