TAKE ME AWAY
Chapter Two:
Toby slowly opened his eyes. Even though he felt disoriented, he could tell that he wasn’t in
his own bed. Pushing himself up into a
sitting position, he carefully took in his surroundings. He noticed first off, that the walls and
floor were made out of large stone blocks.
There were no windows, so the only exit was the door directly across
from the four-poster bed.
Toby jumped when the door suddenly opened and a man in his
mid twenties walked through. He blushed
when the first though that came to mind was ‘sexy’. The blush turned deeper when the man in question locked eyes with
him.
“Well, well. You’re awake.
Wonderful.” The man took a seat
at the end of the bed and leaned back against one of the poles. “I imagine you
are wondering where you are, but that will be answered soon. First, I want to know how you are feeling.”
Toby opened and closed his mouth for a moment. “Fine.”
He croaked out blushing once more.
“Good. Are you
hungry?” The man asked with a smile.
“A little.” Toby
answered quietly.
The man snapped his fingers and Toby jumped again when an
ugly creature appeared in the room.
“Bring him some dinner. And be quick about it.”
With a quiet pop the creature disappeared.
“What was that?”
The man smiled at him once again. “That was a goblin Toby. Surely
you remember something from you last ‘visit’ here?”
“What are you talking about? I’ve never been here before in my life. I think I’d know.” He paused. “Wait, I’m
dreaming. That’s it. Dreaming.
You’re not real, goblins are definitely not real, and I’m really
at home in my own bed sleeping off the beating I got this morning at the hands
of my sister’s goon squad.” Toby
finished with a loud laugh.
The man raised an elegant brow as he the boy finished
babbling. “Are you quite through?”
Toby stopped laughing and grinned. “Sure. But I have to say
that this is probably the best dream I’ve ever had.”
“Oh? Why is that
Toby?”
“Well, for one thing, I’m not at home. That’s a big plus. And for another I must admit that I’ve never dreamed of anyone
more sexy than you are.”
The man laughed suddenly shaking his head. “Oh, Toby, I think I’m going to enjoy having
you here in my castle. But I must tell
you, you are most certainly not dreaming.” The man moved to sit next to Toby. “This is real. You are
wide awake, goblins are definitely real, you are not at home, you’re in
the guest quarters that are connected to my rooms. I’ve healed you of all your injuries so there is no need to worry
about that.”
Toby stared at man for a moment before he laughed loud and
long.
“What is it you humans do?
Oh yes, I remember.” The man
reached forward and pinched Toby hard in his left arm.
Toby’s laughter was cut off with a pain filled yelp. “Ow!”
He rubbed the sore spot on his bare arm. He stopped suddenly and looked down at the throbbing red mark on
his arm. “Ow?” His eyes widened comically and he jumped off
the bed. “Oh, my god!”
“Do you believe me now?”
The man asked with a smirk.
Toby slowly collapsed back onto the bed. He took deep breaths, trying to slow down
his wildly beating heart. “This is
real?” He whispered.
“Yes. And like I
said earlier, you’ve been here once before.
When you were a baby. Don’t you
have dreams Toby? Dreams of
magic?” The man smirked slightly. “Dreams of me perhaps?”
Toby blushed slightly when he remembered that he had told
the man that he was sexy.
“Think hard Toby. ”
Toby stayed quiet for a minuet and stared off into
space. He was so caught up in his
thoughts that he didn’t even realize when the dinner arrived complete with
table and chairs.
“Goblin King.” Toby whispered.
The man stared intensely at him. “Yes Toby. What
else?”
“Goblins, magic, the maze…you. You!
I remember you. Jareth.” Toby breathed.
Jareth smiled and lifted his hand up. A glass sphere appeared floating above his
palm. “Do you know why I brought you
here Toby?”
“Because I wished to be taken away.” Toby whispered.
“That’s right.
You’ve been gone from your world for two days Toby.” Jareth sighed. “You haven’t been missed.
I don’t even think they know that you’re gone.”
“I’m not surprised really.”
Toby said. “They only noticed me
when they wanted to yell.”
They sat silently for a moment before Jareth stood. He held out his hand and after a second’s
hesitation, Toby grabbed it.
“You should eat before the food gets cold.” Jareth led Toby to the table and sat him
down in one of the two chairs.
“You’re not eating?”
Toby asked as Jareth sat down across from him.
“No, but I will have a drink.” He snapped his fingers and a glass of wine appeared.
Toby stared at Jareth for a moment as he recalled something
else. “Jareth…” He tilted his head to the left. “Shouldn’t you be…older?”
Jareth looked up from his wine goblet and smirked. “Yes.”
When he didn’t elaborate further, Toby sighed. “And?”
Jareth took a sip. “And
what?”
Toby rolled his eyes.
“Have you always been so infuriating?”
“Yes.” Jareth said
shortly.
“Why haven’t you aged?”
Toby asked gritting his teeth.
“Alright, I’ll tell you.
But only because you asked so nicely.”
Jareth said smiling.
“Thank you.” Toby
ground out.
“You’re sister was almost successful in destroying both me
and my world. But what she didn’t know…is
that we are both full of magic far stronger than Sarah could ever imagine. However she was able to deplete my magic so
much that I was, in a sense, reborn.”
“But shouldn’t that make you younger than me?” Toby asked confused.
“Yes. But I’m not.
Once I was able to gain complete control and understanding of my magic, I
aged myself a few years. I will be 26
for eternity.” Jareth smiled. “Would you like that Toby? To stay young forever?”
Jareth didn’t wait for an answer. “With that age, my magic became stronger…much stronger than when your
sister left here. I was then able to
help this world get back to its former state.”
Toby stared at Jareth as he knocked back the rest of the
wine.
“Any more questions?”
Jareth asked.
“Not right now, no.”
Toby replied.
“Good. When you
think of any just ask and I’ll answer to the best of my ability.” Jareth said with a smile.
Toby narrowed his eyes.
“You’ll answer anything?”
“Yes.” Jareth walked
to stand directly in front of Toby’s chair.
He leaned down so they were face to face. “I will never lie to you Toby.
You can trust in me completely.”
He kissed Toby’s right temple and stood back up. “You should get some sleep. You must be tired.”
Toby shook his head.
“I’m not ti—” He was cut off by a large yawn. He blinked his eyes sleepily.
“Jareth, what…” He trailed off
as Jareth leaned down and picked him up.
“You haven’t gotten enough sleep. You need to rest more.”
Jareth tucked him under the covers and smoothed his bangs back. He smiled when they flopped back in his
eyes.
“Slept for,” he yawned again “two days.”
“Sleep Toby. I’ll
wake you in the morning.” Jareth
whispered. But Toby didn’t hear
him. He was already out.
End Chapter Two
Sorry for the looooooooooooooong delay guys. I just didn’t know what to write. But I have to thank all those who reviewed
for chapter one. I went back and looked
over all my reviews the other day and it made me get my ass in gear. Thanks.
Hopefully the next chapter won’t take a year to get out, huh? ^_^ Let me know what you think.
For those of you waiting for updates for my other stories, I’m
slowly making progress. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned them. Hopefully the next chapter I post will be the epilogue
for ‘Together Again”. It’s almost done,
it just needs a little more to be finished.
UH, IF YOU GUYS DIDN’T READ THE NOTE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE CHAPTER IT SAID THAT THE ENDING WAS CUT OFF. IT’S THERE NOW SO YOU MIGHT WANNA REREAD THE
