Chapter Four
“Actually Hoggle started working for his father” she replies “Oh” Sarah said then she started thinking “but Hoggle and Jareth still hate each other is it still over Autumn?” Helena shook her head “no it’s not, it’s because they are both in love with you” Sara hat first started laughing nervously then stopped “Hoggle is in love with me” she said in disbelieving tone Helena nodded her head smiling. “Has there ever been anyone in Jareth’s life before me?” “There was Eve” Helena said “Who is Eve?” Sarah asked curious “My mother told me about her, she was the kind of woman who wanted power and to have a title and she knew Jareth would give it to her. Everyone thought he loved her, but found out she never loved him, she just used him for his magic and to be queen” “That’s terrible” Sarah said “Eve even tells everyone that Jareth got her pregnant, but he never believed her” Helena said “Could it be possible?” Sarah asked “My mother said it could be possible, but there was never any proof” she said “So what happened to Eve?” she asked “No one really knows, they see her at balls, she never talks to anyone. She just keeps to herself” Helena told her “Thanks for telling me all this” Sarah said “Welcome” Helena said smiling Sarah looked seriously at Helena; she could still see the sadness in her eyes every time she talked about her parents or Jareth. She already lost her parents and now because of her she will lose her uncle too and it will be all her fault. “I will go with you to save Toby and help out Jareth anyway I can” Sarah told her Helena smiled excitedly “thank you, thank you so much. I promise you won’t regret it” “I hope not” Sarah said “Ready to go” Helena asked holding her hand out to her. Sarah looked at the dog Harry “can he come too, he is Toby’s dog” Helena looked at the dog who gave her sad puppy dog eyes, she shrugged her shoulders “I don’t see why not” Sarah grabbed the leash and put it on the dog, then they all disappeared, they reappeared in Jareth’s room. Sarah looked around the room, she then noticed Jareth sleeping in bed, he was sweating but was also shivering, which must be why he heavy blankets covering him up, she felt so guilty doing this to him. His face looked so pale if only there was something she could do. Toby was in a cage, in a dark dank, cold what looked like a dungeon it had stone walls, he shivered and then he started to shake the bars on the cage to hopefully loosen them and escape but they wouldn’t budge. He then heard wicked laughter, Toby stopped he saw a man coming towards him, he has long dark hair, dark eyes and a beard, he dressed almost like Jareth but he this guy liked black. The guy walked up to him “there is no point in trying to escape; those bars will never get loose” Toby gave him an angry look “what do you want with me?” The man moved closer to the cage “well you gone, there would be no one left but me to take over for Jareth once he dies” Toby moved closer to him “I won’t let Jareth die” The man laughed “you think you are being noble and that he just picked you out of the blue” Toby didn’t say anything he just stared at him “did you ever wonder why Jareth picked you” “Because he was involved with my sister, and he liked me and made me his heir” Toby told him The man laughed, Toby gave him a annoyed look “your sister didn’t tell you the whole story did she” Toby looked at him confused “the story where she wished you away to the goblin king, because she hated you” Toby turned his head away from him when he said that, the man smiled at that “but of course she did save you in the end and realized that she did care for you” He looked at Toby for his reaction but he didn’t give one so he continued “Jareth formed a bond with you and decided to make you his heir” Toby crossed his arms over his chest “I don’t believe you” The man looked at Toby cruelly “you don’t, well how about this” The man waved his hand in the air and a picture appeared, Sarah holding Toby above her yelling at him “I can bear it no longer! Goblin King! Goblin King! Wherever you may be take this child of mine far away from me!” Toby turned his head away “you still don’t believe” Toby looked at him defiant “and why should I believe you? I don’t even know who you are” “I am Rupert Toby.” He bowed his head at him. “Why do you want the throne so bad?” Toby asked curious Rupert raised his voice slightly as he spoke “I am Jareth’s cousin! I am older! I deserve that throne not him! And I will not let some mere teenager take it away from me!” Toby looked at him surprised and replied “what do you expect me to do about this?” Rupert smiled meanly at him “hand the throne over to me once Jareth dies” Toby looked at him thinking then shook his head “no I will not give you the throne, I would rather die than give it to you” Rupert got closer to the cage and hissed “that can be arranged my boy” Toby backed up afraid of him, Rupert disappeared right in front of Toby leaving him alone in the dungeon. Toby whispered to himself “come on Sarah save me” Sarah sat down in a chair next to Jareth’s bed, watching him sleep and she gently grabbed his hand holding it. “I am so sorry Jareth, that I did this to you. I hope someday you can forgive me” Helena walked in “we have to go now Sarah, the army is ready to bring the new prince home” Sarah stood up she looked down at Jareth he was moaning and tossing and turning. Sarah bent down brushed his hair off his face and kissed his forehead then whispered to him “don’t worry I will save Toby and bring him back here” Sarah then walked out with Helena, her friends, Toby’s dog and an army of goblins. Rupert was pacing back and forth in front of Claire. “Must you do that, you’re making me nervous” Claire said Rupert gave her a harsh look “I am making you nervous!” his voice rose then he continued “that boy down there frustrates me, he must be just like his sister, but that will change I will make sure of it” Claire just stared at him not saying anything; she didn’t understand what he was talking about. Then they both heard the alarms going off, they looked at each other and then disappeared to the dungeon. Sarah and everyone arrived in the dungeon, Toby’s dog started to bark happily seeing him. “Sarah hurry and get me out of here” Toby whispered The goblins and Helena were using magic on the bars to come loose, they finally got it, Toby was freed and when Toby thanked everyone he turned around to face Sarah. Toby’s smile wiped off his face when he saw a woman holding Sarah a dagger to her throat and Rupert smiling at them. The goblins and Sarah’s friends held their weapons out to them, while the dog growled and Helena and Toby stood next to each other. “You let me sister go” Toby ordered Rupert laughed “so cute, already acting like a new king” “Please Rupert let Sarah go” Helena pleaded Sarah just stood in Claire’s arms not saying anything just watching. Rupert stood silently for a moment just staring at everyone, no emotion on his face and then he smiled brightly and looked at Claire. “Let her go” he ordered her “But master we can kill her, Jareth wouldn’t care anyway he would be dead” Claire said “I said! Let her go!” Rupert commanded Claire pushed Sarah out of her arms, Toby and Helena quickly made a grab for Sarah before she fell on the ground. Sarah turned quickly to stare at them, Rupert walked up to her, he caressed her face “I am sorry precious” he watched Sarah cringe at getting called that then he continued “Jareth is dead” he watched them all for their reactions they all looked horrified, he added “I will give you all time to grieve, then after that I will claim the throne” He disappeared they all heard his faint laughter in the air. Helena started crying “no, no not my uncle, please don’t let him be dead” she sunk to the floor on her knees crying, Toby went down to hug Helena, he then looked up at Sarah. He noticed she looked out of it, almost like it was a dream or she was maybe out of her body, she was walking around the dungeon almost like a ghost. Toby and their friends looked worried for Sarah, the goblins were too busy keeping guards on everyone to notice and Helena was too busy crying to notice Sarah. Then they all jumped when they heard a scream and things crashing to the ground, they followed it and saw Sarah screaming as she was knocking things around, things that were on old tables collecting dust, rocks she threw. Sarah then started pounding on the wall with her fists, at first no one knew what to do or if they should approach her. Sarah then sunk down the rock wall and sat there crying, Toby walked over to her and hugged her. She was mumbling as she was crying “Jareth can’t be dead, I am so sorry, I wanted to tell him that and I never stopped loving him. I just couldn’t be with him” Toby hugged her tighter “I am sure he knew Sarah, I am sure he doesn’t hate you” Sarah hugged him tighter then stood up facing everyone, she wiped her tears “we should get back and make sure it is real” Once they all returned in Jareth’s room, they saw the healer and his servant crying, Sarah watched them “so it is true, he is dead” The healer Analiegh walked up to her “not yet dear” Sarah looked at her puzzled “I don’t understand, Rupert said he was dead” The healer took a breath “he is between worlds now, this is the time he gets a guide to explain everything to him, his life then and now and what is to come. Then it is up to him if he wants to die or live” she explained “So he isn’t really dead not yet” Sarah said “Not yet child but close” she tells her Sarah nodded understanding; she sat down in the chair next to the bed. The healer followed her and looked down at her bloody knuckles “you must let me heal them” Sarah looked up at her confused then gave held out her hands for her, the healer ran her hand over them and the blood disappeared repairing her hands back to normal. Helena stood next to Sarah and asked the healer “who do you think would be his guide?” “It’s hard to say dear” the healer said Jareth was in a place full of darkness not a lot of light and fog, he heard someone coming towards him and he stopped and waited in case he needed to fight them. He saw the person standing in front of him, he couldn’t believe who it was “hello Jareth” the female voice saidWhile 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.
