Chapter 19
Sarah woke up and noticed the space next to her was empty, she sat up and looked around the room, Jareth was gone too. She was relieved to be alone, but she wanted to see the healer and find out what is wrong with her. She quickly got up and got dressed. She walked into the healer’s room scared, he saw her walking in. “Is there something I can do for you, your highness?” he asked She looked up at him “yes, I need to be checked I have been feeling sick lately” He looked worried “sit up here” he said as he pointed to the bed in front of him She climbed up onto the bed and sat down, watching him fearfully. “What are your symptoms?” he asked her “I feel nauseous all the time, I can’t keep food down, I feel tired and I have headaches constantly” she told him “Are you getting enough sleep?” he asks her “Yes, I think so “she replied “Do you menstruate regularly?” he asked Sarah thought for a while “I did miss this month” He looked at her. “Is that bad?” she asked worried “Lay down” the healer said She did as instructed, he started to run his hands over her stomach, pressing down gently, and she was watching him. He stopped and looked at her “just what I thought” She raised her head to look at him “what, what is it” she panicked “You’re pregnant” he told her Sarah smiled at the news “you can tell that just by touching my stomach?” “I can feel the child moving” he told her Sarah then watched as he grabbed a piece of paper and started writing on it, her smile fell “what are you doing?” He looked up at her “I have to tell the king you were here” “Please to tell him why” she begged “Why not?” he asked curios Sarah thought for a moment “I want to be the one to tell him, I think he would like it better if it came from me” “Okay” the healer agreed She sat up and got down from the table, she looked at him “what do I do to help with the nauseous feeling?” “Eat crackers, drink ginger tea” he told her “Thank you” she said and quickly left The healer put the note with the rest of the messages that needed to be delivered to the king. Sarah walked out to the garden to do some thinking, she saw Hoggle working with the flowers trimming them, She smiled and walked up to him “hi Hoggle” Hoggle looked at her “hi little lady” “How are you?” Sarah asked Hoggle looked at her and noticed she was acting weird and she looked nervous “are you okay Sarah?” Sarah dropped to the ground, her dress spreading out around her; he got in front of her “Hoggle I’m pregnant” He looked at her ready to smile, when he noticed she didn’t look happy “Sarah forgive me, but isn’t having a baby a happy thing” “it should be, but the way Jareth has been treating me, I don’t want to bring a baby into that environment” she said Hoggle looked at her sadly “has Jareth hurt you bad” Sarah looked down at the ground then back up to look at him, with tears in her eyes “he threatened me and hit me; he practically cheated on me, right in front of me, then denied it” “That bastard” Hoggle said Sarah laughed through her tears at him “What are you going to do about the baby?” Hoggle asked “A number of things” she told him “Like what?” he asked “An abortion, have an accident or give it up for adoption” she told him Hoggle looked scared then replied “we don’t have abortions here, whatever they are; you can’t give up a king’s child you can get punished for it” Sarah snorted loudly “okay then I go with an accident, is there anything I can throw myself down, like stairs or a steep hill with rocks” Hoggle looked horrified at her “you could die from that” “Anything would be better than living with him” she said Hoggle gave her a sad smile “I always told you he was a rat” “I wish I listened to you, maybe I can find a way to get back up to the aboveground” she said mournfully Hoggle thought for a moment “I know someone who could help you” Sarah’s face lit up “who is it” “It’s a healer she always hated Jareth, and the town she lives in won’t allow Jareth or his goblins there, so you will be safe” he said “Let’s go then” she said as she stood up “Give me a couple of days, to talk to her and see if she will be willing to help, and I will come for you” Hoggle said “Okay” Sarah said Sarah was about to say something when Hoggle quickly said “hello, your majesty” Sarah closed her eyes and winced “Hello hedgewart, keeping the queen company I see, I am here now, so back to work” Jareth told him Hoggle quickly returned back to work, Sarah turned around to face Jareth “he is my friend, you have no right to treat him that way” Jareth breathed in a sigh of air “he is my subject I will treat him as I see fit” Sarah looked at him he looked angry and frustrated “are you okay?” He looked at her “I would be better if I was able to have sex with my wife last night” “You could’ve had sex with me, if you wanted to last night, but you chose not too” she told him “I am not going to have my wife claim to everyone that I raped her” he raised his voice he looked up and saw Hoggle giving him a dirty look, he looked back down at Sarah “I want my wife willing” “Maybe if you were nicer to me I would’ve let you” she looked up at him with tears in her eyes He turned away a moment then looked at her “Sarah you are acting like a child, a spoiled child at that” She turned her head away, calmed herself down and then looked at him “I wish you would send me above, I could have a happy life there, and I could marry Matt as planned” Jareth looked angry at her and took out a crystal ball, moving it from hand to hand in front of her, her face glowed with happiness, thinking that she would actually get her wish, he then held it in front of her. “I have some bad news Sarah, Matt is in love with another, they are getting married” Sarah looked up at him, then at the crystal ball, she saw Matt happy with a blonde hair woman they were laughing and kissing, she saw a big diamond ring on her finger. “That happened fast” “Actually my dear, even though months past here, a year past there” he tells her She looked shock at him “so in other words I am stuck here with you” she spat walking away from him He walked quickly he caught up to her, he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him “is being stuck here with me so bad” “it wasn’t at first, but then after we got married you changed, you became mean cold, I thought it had to do that you feeling guilty over Fiona’s death, that you were taking it out on me, but I don’t think so, I think you just wanted me to fall in love with you and marry you so you could punish me for hurting you those years ago” “Is that what you think I want revenge?” She nodded her head at him. “This has nothing to do with Fiona, it has to do with that I am king and you are my queen” he told her “Don’t you love me at all?” she asked sadly “Not at the moment” he told her seriously Sarah lowered her head “I want to go home” she mumbled Jareth raised her head to look at him “why do you want to cause me pain, by leaving me?” She moved her head out of his hand “hurt you. HURT YOU, I’m not the one who said he didn’t love me, I am not the one that threatens you, I am not the one that hits you, and I just want to get out of this situation, I miss my father, my brother and even my stepmother” Jareth looked at her ready to say something when they heard a voice “Is everything okay here?” They looked down and saw Hoggle holding some clippers in his hands. Jareth looked at Sarah; she looked at Hoggle “yes Hoggle everything is fine” He gave Jareth a mean look; Jareth shrugged his shoulders at Hoggle, and Hoggle walked away. And Sarah walked the opposite way quickly, Jareth raced to catch up to her “where are you going?” “To lie down I don’t feel well” she said “I told you to go to the healers” he said “I did he said I have the flu” she told him and kept walking He grabbed her arm and they disappeared back to his chambers. “I want you out of that dress and in bed to rest” he ordered Sarah did what she was told, once she was in bed, Jareth went over and kissed her forehead and left the room. “In two days I will be gone and away from him” she whispered to herself then she gently rubbed her stomach “I can’t let you see, your father treat me like this” she told her stomach and fell asleep Sarah woke up in the morning alone in bed, when she rolled over she saw Jareth’s mother Marta looking at her, she quickly sat up, and from quickly doing that it upset her stomach. “What are you doing here?” she asked “My son tells me you are being difficult” Marta said smiling knowingly at her “If anything he is being difficult with me” Sarah told her “I know how he is acting with you, my husband did it too, but once I told him how it was going to be he stopped” she tells her “And he stopped treating you badly?” Sarah asked amazed “Yes because he loved me and didn’t want to lose me” Marta said “I wish I could do that with Jareth” Sarah said Marta looked at Sarah “there is something your keeping from my son, isn’t there” “You can tell that, just by looking at me?” Sarah replied “Yes” she said then looked at Sarah “what is it your hiding?” “Nothing” Sarah told her and got out of bed, she stood there with her hand protectively over her stomach. Marta stood up looking at her “your pregnant” Sarah whipped around “how did you know?” “I can just tell Dear” she says smiling “Please don’t tell Jareth” she begged Marta looked at her sadly “actually my dear I can’t” Sarah looked relieved “I can’t say anything because I can’t get involved in my son’s marriage” Marta said “Good” Sarah said “Are you ever going to tell him?” “No” “Sarah” she moaned sorrowfully “Like I said if he treated me better, I would” Sarah said seriously “I wish I could change your mind” Marta said and left Sarah alone Sarah sat on the bed conflicted, she didn’t want to keep something from Jareth, but she knew she had too. She heard a soft knock at the door and stood up, she saw the door open and Hoggle opened the door. “Oh Hoggle I am so glad to see you” Sarah said happily “I come with good news” he said “What is it?” Sarah asked “The healer will see you right away” Hoggle told her “Great, let me pack a few things” Sarah says “Make it quick?” Hoggle said nervously Sarah quickly went around the room putting as much clothes she could fit her backpack. Then she quickly wrote Jareth a note and left it on the bed, and quickly snuck off with Hoggle. Hours later Jareth returned to his bed chambers looking for Sarah, he noticed the closet was open and clothes scattered all over the floor, he was worried something happened to her, until his eyes settled on the bed, he saw a piece of paper addressed to him. He opened it up. Dear Jareth, If you are reading this it means that I am gone, I had Hoggle take me some where safe, meaning away from you, and I couldn’t stand to be near you anymore, I do love you. I just want are baby to be around the abuse, I might give the baby up or keep it but you will never see it either way, please don’t come and find I want nothing to do with you. Love, Sarah Jareth put his head in his hands and started weeping, his mother walked in to find him this way. “What’s the matter my son?” she asked worried He didn’t say anything he just handed her the letter, she read it, she got down on her knees and wrapped her arms around him “oh my son” she cried Sarah and Hoggle finally arrived at a cottage deep in the woods. “This is where she lives?” Sarah asked scared “Yes” he said “Is she evil?” she asked “No she is a good kind elfin woman” Hoggle told her Hoggle knocked on the door, a woman opened it “oh Hoggle is this her, the goblin queen?” “Yes Helga it is” Hoggle told her proudly “Good” she said she looked over Sarah “come on dear” Sarah followed Helga in then Hoggle walked in last. Helga pointed to a bed “you can sleep there dear” Sarah sat down on it and was surprised it was actually comfortable. “Hoggle you can have the chair” she told him as she pointed to it Weeks have past, Sarah was comfortable and happy where she was, no one told her to do things or order her around, no one beat her or threatened her, and everyone was kind to her. Her stomach got bigger according to Helga she should be due soon. Jareth appeared in front of his mother “I can’t find her I searched the whole Labyrinth and above” Marta started thinking “maybe she is not in the Labyritnh, maybe she is outside it” Jareth started thinking he changed into an owl and flew away. Sarah was outside in the garden picking flowers and humming she was actually happy, more than she’s been in a long time. Jareth spotted her and flew down changing back, he leaned against the tree watching her a smile on his face. “So this is where you disappeared too” his voice said from behind her She stood up quickly and turned around, she saw Jareth standing there “Jareth” she said surprised Jareth looked at her stomach “so it’s true then, you are carrying my child?” “yes” she said as she was walking away from him He was ready to grab her, when they heard Hoggles voice. “Stay away from her you rat” he said in between them Sarah turned around; Jareth looked down at him “going against me again Higgle” “I would do anything for Sarah” Hoggle told him “Oh really “He replied “Come on guys please don’t fight” Sarah pleaded Hoggle and Jareth kept on arguing you couldn’t hear exactly what they were saying. She started to have stomach pains, they ignored her, and Helga came out screaming “OH NO SARAH” She helped Sarah into the cottage, Hoggle and Jareth stopped there bickering, Hoggle followed them in, Jareth was about to when Helga stopped him.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.
