Chapter 33 The Sharing Of Power

Chapter 33

The Sharing Of Power

Sarah's POV

When Jareth had whispered those words in my ear, and told me he had always believed in me, I lost control. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. The metal collar around his neck was cold against my arms, but that was not going to stop me. Jareth soon got over his shock and kissed me back, tangling his hands in the soft material of my dress.

I was quickly running out of breath, but when I'm with Jareth, I don't need it. I feel like he is what holds me to the ground, not gravity, not my own mass, him, and him alone. He was all I needed. I lost my hand's in his hair, and used them to pull him deeper into the kiss, if that was possible.

As I was kissing him, I felt the collar around his neck grow warm, and it burnt my arm.

I pulled away and saw that there was a burn on my forearm, and it hurt like hell. Jareth took my arm and looked at it worryingly, but when I looked up at him, the metal collar was glowing.

"Jareth? Is it meant to do that?"

"Do what?" He asked, obviously confused.

"The collar, Its glowing, and it burnt my arm."

"Is it glowing yellow?"

"Yeah, sort of."

He smiled widely and took my arm.

"We need to go find Ruby."

We ran back to the oubliette entrance at a speed, I didn't even know I was capable of.

When we got to the entrance of the oubliette, Ruby and Gareth were stood in front of it, deep in conversation.

"Ruby!" Jareth yelled. "You are not going to believe what just happened."

Jareth explained to Ruby that the collar had glowed and burnt my arm, which Ruby healed for me. Thankfully he left out the part where I was kissing him. I wasn't shy about it, I just didn't want to go bragging it to her, given what Jareth had told me about Ruby being unable to love.

"I know It sounds ridiculous, but it actually happened." I still didn't understand why the collar glowing was important.

"It makes more sense than you think. What were you doing when the collar glowed?"

I blushed and Jareth looked down. Apparently he was as embarrassed about it as I was.

Ruby looked at us and then, I guess she invaded our minds again, because she laughed.

"Oh my dears, don't worry, especially you." She pointed at Jareth, out of breath from laughing. "With some of the things you've walked in on me doing, A little kiss is nothing." She proceeded to laugh.

Wait.... What... What did she.... What is she....

"Oh don't worry dear, I not no Christian Grey, I'm just saying." She continued to laugh.

She looked at Jareth for a moment, obviously talking in their heads, then glanced at me.

I just stood there, stunned by what she said earlier. And slightly confused, I had never read 50 shades of grey but I thought she was in love with someone she couldn't be with, and she didn't seem like the kind of woman to cheat...

"You taking this one?" She asked Jareth, and he nodded, leaving me even more confused.

He turned and we walked back to where we were stood when the collar glowed.

He tuned to me and took my hand, leading me to sit beside him on the floor.

"Sarah, do you remember the book you had back home? The Labyrinth?"
