No Strangers to Love : Labyrinth Fanfiction

Chapter Seven

The following evening Jareth had locked Sarah in his chambers.

Much to Sarah's disappointment.

But, after several minutes of complaining Sarah sighed and simply gave up. And against her better judgment laid on the inviting four-poster bed. Which she found strangely comfortable.

She didn't know what to think of the Goblin King anymore.

It had been years since her last time here, in the castle beyond the Goblin City.

Seeing Jareth again, had changed all her thoughts, and feelings she once had, and made them rise again like a wave that crashed against a rock. Hitting her full force.

Then reimagining what the Goblin King had said to her.

"I am. But, I won't be. Sarah, you deserve the world. I could give you everything that you could simply desire. And you turn it down at every turn. Can't you simply allow me to court the women, that I longed for so long. "

His confession of love and endearment. He wanted to court her!

So, why wasn't she more excited? Sarah thought while sitting up. And playing with the flimsy sheets that were left crinkled on the bed. A sudden image- made her blush. And made her happy that she was the only one in the room at the moment.

Then she remembered Jareth could be cruel when he wanted. She guessed, that was what she was more afraid of.

Though, she still had that lingering thought even if Jareth wanted to do something cruel against her..., he couldn't.

He couldn't because Sarah knew that Jareth cared about her. Cared more then he actually knew.

Which was confusing in on itself. He infuriates her, just spending one second with him was enough to face the bog of eternal stench.

But then the next second Jareth could show another side of himself. A lighter side that had Sarah begging for more. All Jareth did was confuse her.

She needed time to come up with a plan.

A plan that would get her above ground again- a plan that would have her reuniting with her step-brother. She needed to know why Toby had wished her away.

She had been careful of wishing around Toby- years passed by and there was no inclination of Toby thinking of wishing me away.

Then, like a light bulb that sparked inside her head- Sarah had a thought that was close to the truth. She knew that Jareth's hand had something to do with it. And if courting him was the way to get it-then she would play.

She would act like herself, for the most part, but she will act to get the upper hand on the Goblin King.

Game set and matched.

While the cackles of the fire slowly die..., leaving only dark embers in its place. Signaling the end of another day- for Sarah still worried of what the Goblin King would do next.
