Labyrinth Fanfiction, "A tale of Two"

Chapter 33-

I had spent the past two hours with Etta and Hoggle. In that time she had introduced me to some of her family. When I finally said goodbye to Etta I headed back to the castle with Hoggle.

"Don't you think Etta is such a nice Goblin?"

"Yer Sarah, she is"

Me and Hoggle made our way into the castle when he stopped.

"What is it Hoggle?"

"It's nothin Sarah. I have to go and spray the fairies, Jareth's orders. I'll see ya at dinner. Bye Sarah"

"Bye Hoggle" I watched him walk off into the distance.

I made my way down the corrior and found myself in the Escher room. Oh great! How did I end up in here? How am I going to find my way out, this room is very confusing. Last time I was in this room Jareth was taunting me. Every twist and turn I took Jareth was there with a polished smirk across his face. Atleast he wasn't here this time. He would of loved this moment, aspecially as he thought that I had already learnt my way around his castle. I walked for what felt like ages until I gave up. I sunk to the floor and sighed.

"Lost are we Precious?"

I hear a cocky and arrogant voice and of course its got to be Jareth's. I look up to see him leaning against a pillow with a grin plastered across his face.

"Actually yes, I am. Instead of standing there basking in my humilation why don't you help?"

He laughs at me and I roll my eyes. I'm really frustrated. "And why would I want to do that?"

I just stare at him getting more angry by the second. "Oh I don't know.. maybe because your not a total narcissistic, pompus, egotistical ass.

"Ouch! Sarah, I'm hurt however you do have a point. Here give me your hand"

I look up to see he him holding out his hand for me to take. I was unsure.

"Trust me Precious, I don't bite"

I grab his hand and he helps me up. I brush myself down and smooth out my dress. Jareth is just staring at me strangely. I feel uncomfortable.

"Jareth what are you staring at?"

" Can I not simply stare at the girl who infuriate's me?"

"Whatever Jareth, just show me the way back to my room" I shrug of his playful behaviour.

I hear him sigh "give me your hand"

"May I ask why?"

"Because I don't feel like walking, I will teleport us to your chambers"

I don't ask anymore questions I just nod and let him telport us. A couple of seconds later we arrive in my room. I stumble slightly but manage to find my feet. I feel dizzy.

"You could of warned me!" I say rubbing my forehead.

"Why would I do that when watching you stumble is way more fun" I laugh at Sarah. She didn't look happy with me at all.

"Well you can go now"

"The word your looking for precious is thankyou" I whisper the last part into her ear and circle her. She looks intimdated....I like it.

"Thankyou Jareth" I say through my gritted teeth. He really boils my blood. He just laughs at me.

"Well then precious, I will leave you to it" he went to leave when I grabbed his arm.

"Another thing, stop calling me precious. You sound like an evil villian stroking his white persian cat"

He looks down at his arm. I didn't realise that I was still gripping onto his arm. I quickly removed my hand and folded my arms. I see from the corner of my eye that he smiles smugly.

"Sorry no can do.... Precious"

I stomp my foot with pure frustration. No doubt I looked like an imature school girl. He then vanishes from my room and I sit down at my dressing table. I hear his voice echo inside my head.

"See you at dinner Precious"

I raise my eyebrow and sigh.

"Get out of my head Jareth!"

I get no reply and I sigh.
