Chapter 11
Helena opened the door quietly to her uncle’s room, and tiptoed towards the bed. She looked down at him sadly. She was happy that he was getting better since Sarah was here, but she was still afraid something might still happen to him. She sat down in the chair next to the bed and looked at him. “I don’t know what you see in Sarah that makes her so special to you. I am sorry Uncle, but I just don’t see it.” She kissed his forehead and left the room. Helena went outside where she saw Toby and Sarah playing with Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Ludo and the goblins; it looked like chase. Toby saw Helena and he smiled at her then waved her over. She smiled back at him and ran over to them, joining in their game. Unknown to them they were being watched behind a bush. Pixie was there along with a small fairy flying around her head. “What does Jareth see in her? She’s a human and disgusting. They are only good for being maids, not to get married to,” Pixie rambled on. The little fairy looked at Pixie with a disgusted look on her face. “King Jareth is in love with her.” Pixie looked at the fairy flying next to her head. She had brown hair pulled back into a bun, and she had on a pink gown and pink wings. “Yes, Belle he is. I will give her that, but she does look a little weird,” Pixie said as Belle laughed. “You are much prettier than her, my queen,” Belle told her seriously. Pixie smiled at her friend. “Yes I am.” “Come on, Belle. We must leave and think of a way that Jareth will be mine forever,” Pixie says laughing wickedly and then they both disappeared. Sarah was running away from her brother, since he was “it”, but movement out of the corner of her eye made her stop. She looked over and saw Jareth sitting down. He was smiling at her, and then she felt being tackled to the ground. “Ha! I got you sis!” Toby said cheerfully as he sat on top of her everyone was laughing. Sarah sat up looking at him smiling. “Yes, Toby you got me. Why don’t you guys play I am going to take a break?” Toby pouted as he got up and off his sister. “But Sarah you're it.” She smiles at him. “yes Toby I am, but I am also not as young as I used to be” Toby pouted. “Aww sis, you’re still young.” Sarah ruffled his hair. “Thanks Tobe.” They continued to play chase without her, and she sat down across from Jareth. “So how are you feeling today?” Sarah asked. Jareth smiled at her. “I had a little trouble sleeping last night.” “How come?” she asked worried. “I was lonely,” he told her, smiling sexily at her. She laughed. “Well maybe I could contact a woman for you, so you won’t be lonely again,” she joked. Jareth leaned forward and said, “The only woman I want forever is you, Sarah Williams.” Sarah looked at him in shock. She watched his facial expressions to see if he was going to crack a smile, so she knew he was playing with her, but instead she watched him sit back and look at her seriously. She was flattered and scared, that he only wanted her. No man has ever wanted her before, unless they wanted to use her for some reason. Guys she went to school with called her names because she always had her nose in some kind of fantasy book or was always drawing pictures of her friends. They would ask her on a date and then do something cruel to her. whether it was to leave her with the check after dinner at a fancy restaurant that her father would have to come pay for, or they would just ditch her and she knew Jareth would never do that to her. At least she hoped not. After all, how she had managed to get engaged three times she would never know. Unfortunately, all three had left her at the altar, because they never felt her heart was in it. Though truly, it wasn’t. it was always thinking of her time in the labyrinth, being with her friends and even Jareth. Sarah shook her head to clear her thoughts and focused on Jareth. Helena stopped playing and stared at Sarah and Jareth. She saw them leaning forward on the table with their arms folded on the table in front of them. She watched them talking and laughing and then Sarah reached up and brushed Jareth’s hair out of his face. Sarah then let her hand graze his cheek gently while Jareth closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of Sarah’s hand on him. Toby came up behind Helena and wrapped his arms around her waist. His eyes followed where Helena was looking. “You still have a problem with my sister?” Toby asked curiously. Helena shook her head and replied, “No…not really.” “Then what is it?” he asks her. “I was mad at Sarah for hurting my uncle and almost killing him,” she began. Then Toby interrupted her by saying, “My sister would have never left if she knew it would kill him. My sister has a good heart!” Helena smiled “I know that now, but…” Toby could tell she was hesitant; that she was holding something back. “Then what is it now?” Toby questioned her. Helena took a deep sigh and replies, “I am afraid Sarah is going to take my uncle away from me.” Toby noticed how sad her voice sounded and responded, “My sister would never do that. She knows how important he is to you, and how important you are to him.” Helena nodded and started crying. “He is all the family I have left, I can’t lose him.” Toby gently turned Helena around to face him. “Just think… if Sarah and Jareth get married your family will get bigger.” Helena wiped her tears and said, “What do you mean?” “Well my sister will be your aunt and if they have kids, you will have little cousins to play with, and you will always have me,” he tells her. Helena smiled happily. “Yes. You’re right.” “Are you two playing or not?” Hoggle yelled. They turned to look at him. “Why don’t you guys go home since we are going to eat and we will see you later?” Toby suggested. They waved goodbye to them and then Toby and Helena turned around to see the table where Sarah and Jareth had been sitting at, empty. They walked inside to the dining room, the goblins following them. Toby and Helena walked in the dining room where they saw Sarah and Jareth sitting next to each other, acting like they were the only two in the world. Toby and Helena sat down and food was placed in front of them. Helena was watching her uncle and Sarah while she ate and Toby was watching her. Helena smiled sneakily then asked loudly, her voice echoing in the room, “Are you two going to get married?” Toby looked at Helena shocked because he couldn’t believe she would ask that as if she was trying to catch them off guard. Sarah started to choke on her food and Jareth patted her back while he was smiling at Helena. Sarah started to feel better, but she then looked at Helena confused and asked, “What?” Helena laughed because she had gotten the reaction from Sarah that she wanted to. Well not to have her choke, just to have her in shock and catch her off guard. She couldn’t stop laughing. Sarah looked funny, her mouth hanging open and her eyes were big and wide. At least she knew her uncle was happy with her question and she knew that Toby was right. If they got married her family would get bigger, and she would gain and aunt plus cousins. Probably a lot of them and if she ever got married to Toby, she would have a husband plus children, but right now she was too young to think about that. Helena also knew that her mother would not want her to hold this grudge over Sarah, because she would want her brother to be happy. Helena does want her uncle to be happy and if Sarah makes him happy, then she is happy for them.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.
