Chapter Five
Jareth looked at the woman in front of him in surprise “Gabrielle” he whispered Her only response to that was a smile, he walked over to her and hugged her, but his arms went right through her, he gave a horrified look “am I dead” She laughed at him then replied “no dear brother, you are not dead and I am not really your sister” He looked at her confused “I am just a guide to you; the elders thought you would like to see a friendly face” He looked at her sadly “so I will never see my sister again” She smiled sadly at him “I know you were very close to your younger sister, you practically raised her yourself, but she is dead and you will see her one day” He looked terrified “don’t worry Jareth, today is not that day…well unless you wish it” “What do you mean?” he asked confused She smiled at him lovingly “I mean you’re the one who decides if you live or die” Jareth sighed “why should I live I have nothing to go back to, no wife, children or anybody to love me” Gabrielle gave him a disappointed look “you love Sarah” Jareth looked at her harshly “what does she have to do with this?” “Sarah in there with you, holding you hand” she told him Jareth looked down at his hand and back up at her and said “that is why my hand tingles” She nodded her head “why is she there?” “She loves you” she told him kindly Jareth shook his head and turned away from her “you need to make your decision soon, I can feel you getting weaker” He turned abruptly to look at her “what do you mean?” “You’re dying, but of course you already knew that…if you stay here too long, you will die” she tells him “What do I do?” he asks unsure “It’s an easy choice Jareth, you can go back and be with Sarah and be happy forever or you can die and Sarah, Helena, and Toby will all follow you” Jareth looks at her afraid “you mean they will die” “Of course without you there to protect them” she tells him Jareth started pacing, she was watching him closely “I know you’re worried that Sarah might become like Eve” Jareth stopped and looked at her but not saying anything she continued “look in your heart, you know Sarah loves you for you and not for your kingdom or power” “I know that but I am still worried” he told her “You also know that Eve was Gabrielle’s best friend” Jareth nodded while she continued “but there were even things about her I didn’t know” “What are you talking about?” he asked puzzled “I believe Eve was involved with someone the same time she was with you” “Why do you think that?” “I went outside to get some air from the many balls we have and I saw Eve talking to someone then she was kissing him. I only saw him from behind, I thought he was you, until I went back inside and saw you having a good time with other girls paying attention to you” she explains to him sadly “And you never told me this!” his voice was angry she cringed from it, even though she is not really his sister, his temper still scares her. “I saw her again with him, they were at the goblin market, and again I thought it was you. He was wearing a hooded cape I thought maybe you didn’t want to be seen, so I went back to your castle and there you were, giving orders to the goblins” she described to him Jareth didn’t know what to say, he just shook his head at that. He then looked at her and said “is her child even mine?” Gabrielle shook her head “I don’t think so” She watched him terrified; he looked at her confused “what?” he asked “Jareth you’re fading” she tells him Jareth stared at her then brought his hand up to his face and noticed that he could see through it “what do I do?” “Make a choice my brother, die or live?” He just looked at her “I know you are upset still with Sarah rejecting you and that caused this to happen to you, but she did it to save her brother not herself, she loves you and even then she did too. She just didn’t know it yet, trust me you will be happy with her and in love, if there was no chance of that, you wouldn’t be here now, you would just be in the afterlife” she said rushed Jareth still watched her, she could tell that he was thinking “please Jareth make the right choice now” she pleaded with tears in her eyes Jareth smiled at her “it was really great to see my sister again, even just for a little while” She smiled back at him through her tears “I think you know what my answer is” She smiled happily at him; he closed his eyes “goodbye Jareth” Jareth vanished. Sarah sat next to Jareth holding his hand, while everyone else was in the room praying for a miracle. Sarah felt a squeeze on her hand, she started to cry and laugh happily, she saw Jareth’s eyes open, and he was trying to focus his sight. His eyes landed right on Sarah. “Sarah?” he whispered “Jareth” Sarah said smiling at him, she leaned over him and kissed his forehead and then kept smiling down at him as he was smiling up at her. Everyone was happy that Jareth was alive and well but the healer Analiegh knew that Jareth will still be weak but heal in time, just as long as Sarah keeps giving him her love, she will repair his heart and they will live happily ever after like that are meant too.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.
