Out of the maze
After almost 13 hours Sarah finally made it to the castle beyond the goblin city. She was scared, tired and hungry and this last part of the journey was hers alone. That is how it is done.
She had left her friends at the throne room and entered the strangest place she had been in so far. It reminded her of an Escher drawing with stairs and archways going at every direction there was, very disturbing.
Toby was there, she could hear him and she didn't come this far to give up now, without hesitation she ran in to the room and started to climb one of the stairs. Only to find herself with three more stairs to chose from. She continued to run through the room but never manage to get any closer to Toby. She finally saw him a sitting on a ledge, a few floors below her. Still following her instinct, she jumped.
The room came apart around her as she fell until she finally landed in a stone floor with bits and pieces of walls and stairs floating around her. Sensing she was not alone she turned around and found herself staring in to a pair of amazing green eyes. Jareth was there.
"Sarah. Beware. I have been generous up until now, but I can be cruel" he said coming out of the shadows.
"Generous? What have you done that is generous?"
"Everything. Everything that you wanted I have done. You ask that the child be taken. I took him. You cowered before me. I was frightening. I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside-down and I have done it all for you. I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?"
Sarah knew what he was doing; he was trying to confuse her. He looked so good right now, Sarah could not deny that she had been attracted to him ever since he showed up in her parents bedroom 13 hours earlier. She had to get out of there fast or she would never be able to save Toby. She needed something she was familiar with"¦ the text from the book was the only thing coming to mind.
"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours and my"¦"
"Stop, wait. Look, Sarah. Look what I'm offering you" said Jareth conjuring a crystal ball out of thin air. "your dreams"
"and my Kingdom as great"¦"
"I ask for so little. Just let me rule you"¦and you can have everything that you want" pleaded Jareth.
"I can't let you have Toby" Sarah answered almost crying.
"Accept to become my Queen, Sarah, and all you will have to do is wish for me to take him home and I'll do it. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave"
"and he will be home, save?"
"He will be if you wish it" said Jareth offering Sarah his hand with a smile.
Sarah considered for a moment and then took his hand, feeling all the tiredness and hunger disappear as if per magic. She looked down at herself and saw that now she was wearing a beautiful dress in shades of red and gold. Jareth's outfit had also changed from the white and yellow one he was wearing to a red and gold one that matched her dress. They were both wearing crowns made of gold and rubies and standing near then was a goblin holding Toby in his arms.
"Toby" said Sarah running to him and taking him in a hug. "you are alright!"
She felt strong arms holding her and turned her head to see Jareth smiling near her.
"Are you sure you want to send him back? We could adopt him you know, by right we could keep him with us because he did spend more than 13 hours in our kingdom"
Sarah notices that Jareth did say "our" kingdom and, strangely, it made her happy. She was home; this place belonged to her as much as she belonged to it. She fitted there, but Toby didn't. It would be wrong to keep him and she knew it.
"No. We have to take him back. He is not ours, our child is yet to come" somehow she knew that, it was almost as she felt this presence, this awaited event which was close but had not happened yet "We should go, my Lord, we should take him home to his parents"
"Well spoken, my Queen. Let's take little sir Toby to his family and upon our return we will start to adjust our kingdom to match the beauty of it's new Queen"
Please, review This is a story I\'m not so confident about so I really need your feedback, people.
