Sarah looked at him in shock, "What is going on? Who is Edana?"
Jareth just shook his head, hoping that what he had just seen was nothing but a nightmare, but then he looked to Sarah, and knew. Just knew that this was real, what that monster had done was real. "Blood. So much blood." "Look who also decided to visit, boy! It's your dear Aunt Edana. Come say hello to her, you know she tends to get impatient if she has to wait too long." Cianan's words of malice were laced with sarcasm. He broke into a laugh of pure insanity, a laugh that made the hairs on the back of Sarah's neck rise and the Goblin King's hatred grow. "You have an aunt too? Gee, any more homicidal, dark magic wielding family members you want to tell me about? Or are these the only ones? And please tell me that she is not like him." Sarah glared at Jareth, her voice dead even, void of all emotion except one. Anger. She was ticked, first he sets her off through the Labyrinth, she ends up beating it and him, albeit reluctantly, and then he shows up half-dead on her doorstep, managing to drag his murdering uncle along for the ride and all in one night. How, every single time they meet, can he turn her life upside down just in a matter of a couple hours. "I seriously need to see a shrink and get my head examined. This is ridiculous." "Luckily for you, pet, she's not. Now enough with the questions, we need to get out of here. Now." "Well what about your aunt? Shouldn't we help her? She might be hurt. Here let me see." She tried squeezing past him, but was stopped by a hand gripping her shoulder. She turned to him, flicking her gaze from his hand to his eyes. He shook his head, his voice wavering between anger and sorrow. "Don't Sarah. You do not want to see, believe me. I wish I hadn't of looked myself, but it cannot be helped now. We need to get out of here, now no more dawdling." "If she is not like him, we need to help her. Jareth, please." Sarah pleaded with him. Jareth grimaced, then let his hand drop to his side with a light thump. "Fine, if you need to see, then see. But you have been warned, Sarah." Sarah hesitated, not knowing how to take this side of him yet again. She moved again only when he waved her towards the gap between the mattress and the wall that had also fallen down in the blast with a twist of his wrist and a hoarse, "GO." She scooted around his lean frame, switching places with him and when she looked through the gap, did she see what Jareth did not want her to. Her heart stumbled in its steady beating and her eyes widened at the sight. She gasped, a soft strangled noise. She was frozen in her horror and it was only as a pair of soft warm hands pulled her backwards, did she look away from it. Sarah turned and threw her arms around Jareth, rubbing her face against his chest, trying to remove the sight from her eyes. Jareth was the only one who could hear her faints cries and it tore at his heart to hear her cry. Fear and anger warred for possession of the Goblin King's body. He closed his eyes against the battle and wrapped his arms around Sarah. The warmth of her body cut through the chill of his damp shirt and calmed the storm within. They could only sit there, huddled behind the overturned bed and destroyed wall in the middle of such destruction and chaos, both wet and wounded. Two people, once enemies, clinging to each other for emotional and physical support. And there they sat as the dark fae known as Cianan lifted the severed and mutilated head of his twin sister in the air, letting the blood splatter onto his face and run down his neck. There was no way out now. They were trapped.The sound of footsteps fast approaching made Jareth and Sarah book look up at the doorway.
Three policemen, with their weapons drawn, jogged through the destroyed entryway. They slowly made their way towards Cianan, not noticing the two hidden behind the debris. The one in the middle, closest to Cianan, cocked the hammer to his gun back, yelling, "You there! Drop what you're holding right now and put your hands in the air! I won't tell you again." Cianan laughed, tossing the head right at him. The cop caught it, took one look at it and screamed, dropping it on the floor, and backing away. "You worthless humans don't know anything about this world, about how to manipulate it's gifts to their full potential. Let me show you just what I mean." He raised a hand to the sky, "Brekkha nar miora Kagh." Darkness gathered around his outreached hand, crackling with barely contained energy. All color that Jareth had, drained from his face. He knew that chant and it certainly didn't mean all rainbows and roses. He had to get Sarah out of this room and fast. He grabbed her around the middle and dragged her closer to the doorway. It was only when they were a foot away from the doorway did he haul her to her feet and ran, making it through the doorway at last. The policemans' screams filled the air as a dark light engulfed the room and filtered through the doorway. The dark shadows faded from the air and only the scent of rotting flesh filled the air. Sarah gagged and then yelled, "Jareth! What was that? Was that magic as well?" "Yes! The darkest kind of shadow magic! The kind of magic that can rip a person's soul from their body and turn it into a slave for all time. It is a magic not warmly welcomed by other fae. That is why he was locked away." Jareth did not know where they were going, but he had to get them both out of this building. All the walls looked the same and that damned smell of burning flesh filling his nostrils and turning his stomach was not helping matters. He was saved by a slight push on his back by Sarah, steering him down another hall to the left. "This way. The elevators will be shut down due to the fires. Hopefully all that time in the Escher room have helped you with running up and down stairs." He grabbed his chest, relieved that Sarah knew where she was going. He gasped, skidding to a halt. Sarah slammed into his back and fell on her butt hard. She looked up at him in shock. He turned, looking half-crazed and panicked, "Where is my pendant!?"When the shadows faded and the dim light from the streetlight strengthened, a small shimmer of light in the corner caught Cianan's eye. When he approached the sparkle, his bloodied face broke into a toothy grin. He bent down and picked the object up.
"Well, well, what have we here? Now, boy I thought I taught you better than this. Just leaving this lying around, someone's bound to use against you." He watched as the three-pointed pendant dangled from the gold chain in his hand, glowing with the strange inner light it emitted. "And that someone's going to be me."While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
