Chapter 8: The Court
Arlene quickly left to catch up to her granddaughter, who was walking fast; you can tell by the way she was walking she was mad. Arlene disappeared than reappeared in front of Desiree, she stopped sharply. Her grandmother looked at her gently with her arms crossed over her chest "what are you blaming me for child?" Desiree stood looking at her grandmother, trying to control her anger "Bethany thinks Sarah tried to kill my father" Arlene gasped in fear and opened her mouth wide and got worried "oh no, what did they do with her?" Desiree still upset and scared for Sarah replied "she's in the dungeon, until my father, can decide what to do with her" The queen replied scared "if I know my son, he will have her executed" Desiree sighed deeply with tears in her eyes "we can't let that happen" The two guards pushed Sarah into a cage, they locked the door up behind her, Sarah went up to the cage door, and she wrapped her hands around the bars. She looked up at the guards and begged "please I did not try to kill the king" Both guards looked at her and one replied "that is for the king to decide" She let go off the bars, she walked over to the cot that was in the room against the wall. She sat on the cot, until under the covers something started to move she quickly got up, a large rat came from underneath the blankets, than crawled out of the cage, and Sarah leaned against the stone wall, breathing deeply. "If the king doesn't kill me, the rats might" she told herself than shook from cold and from fear. She heard someone coming down the dungeon stairs. She got scared not sure if it was the king, coming to give her the punishment, or Bethany coming down to slap her again, or maybe even kill her herself. When she looked up, she saw Arlene and Desiree standing in front of the door. Sarah had happiness written all over face seeing, them she knew they would be able to help her. "I am so happy to see you two" she smiled at them Desiree smiled sadly at her "I wish we could help you, but we can't" Sarah looked at them both than got sad "what do you mean, you can't help me" she demanded. Arlene looked sad at her too "we can't go against my son, in his own kingdom" The prisoner looked at her sadly "but you're high queen, there must be something you can do?" The queen again looked sad at her "I'm sorry Sarah there is nothing I can do" Sarah put her head down to hide her tears, than lifted it up sharply to look at them, looking at them curiously she asked" what is going to happen to me?" Arlene and Desiree looked at each other sadly than at Sarah. Desiree spoke up sadly "I'm sorry Sarah, but it looks like you might be executed" Sarah looked horrified and repeated sadly "executed" Arlene looked at the guard, "sorry Sarah we have to go" she said as she grabbed her granddaughter gently around the shoulders. They left Sarah alone. Sarah stood there crying. In The Hallway Arlene and Desiree stopped and looked at each other; Arlene was the first to speak. "This is not going as we planned" Desiree looked at her grandmother who appeared to be thinking and replied "No shit" Arlene opened her mouth in shock she has never heard her granddaughter swear before "your father is right, Sarah is a bad influence on you" Desiree smiled really big at her as if saying "yes, and proud of it" her grandmother looked at her. Desiree and her grandmother walked and started thinking; they then stopped again outside Jareth's bedroom door. "Well we still have time, Bethany didn't call the healer yet" Desiree told her. Than the healer walked right by them opening the door and closing it behind him. The queen hit Desiree not too hard on the arm "you couldn't keep your mouth shut, could you" Desiree rubbed her arm where she hit her. "I'm sorry, I didn't know" they stood outside the door scared and nervous, they knew once Jareth got healed he would order a punishment for Sarah. And by being accused or actually trying to kill someone of royalty is punishment by death. The queen looked at the princess sadly "we don't have much time; he might want Sarah dead as soon as possible" Desiree couldn't stop the tears from coming from her eyes "please don't say that" the queen put her arms around Desiree hugging her. Than they heard a low deep voice call out "princess" Arlene and Desiree looked down next to them and saw the dwarf Hoggle looking up at them sadly. He then bowed as they looked at him and continued to speak. "Is it true Sarah is going to be executed?" Desiree looked down sadly at Hoggle and replied "yes, Hoggle we think that is what is going to happen to her" Hoggle swallowed hard, he looked sad and afraid "what are we going to do to help her?" The queen looked at him sadly "We are not sure there is anything we can do". They started to walk forward, when Jareth's door slammed open in front of them, Jareth came out looking angry he looked at them "Mother, Desiree, hogwart" he greeted them than walked past them " papa" Desiree called out Jareth turned around looking at her "where are you going?" Desiree asked as her voice shook from fear. "To have a word with the prisoner" Jareth called back to them. They all shook from fear; his voice was cold and full of hate. The Dungeon Sarah was leaning against the stone wall, her head down crying, she heard a noise In front of her, she raised her head, she saw Jareth standing there, he looked so angry, she quickly walked up to the door. "Jareth, I am so happy you're alive" her voice was booming with happiness. "You will call me king or your highness; prisoners do not call me by first name" his voice was cold and cruel, Sarah shivered from his voice, she put her head down sadly. He continued to talk "what it wasn't enough, that you beat my Labyrinth, destroyed me, you had to come back and try to kill me" she looked up at him "no….I..." he put his hand up to silence her. "But now I won't have to worry about you anymore, messing up my life, messing with my daughter's life, tomorrow will be your execution" Sarah looked in his eyes they were crueler than she's ever seen them before, he scared her he's never been evil to her before, she mostly feared him because of his title and because he had magic, but now seeing him like this, the way he was with her at 15 makes him seem nice, compared to this version of Jareth. "You're… going to have me killed?" her voice shook from fear and holding tears back. Jareth just smiled wickedly at her as if that was her answer. "I thought you loved me?" Sarah asked just see what kind of reaction she might get from him. He laughed wickedly at her, he then got serious, he moved closer to the bars looking at her, he whispered dangerously close to her "I love you, like I love the bog" he smiled a wicked smile than walked away. Sarah watched him leave horrified, what they didn't know was that again. Desiree was watching there confrontation, she was crying, for hers, Jareth's and Sarah's broken hearts. She was going to find a way to mend them even if it killed her trying. She needed to get rid of Bethany. Desiree left the dungeon unseen by Sarah. Sarah walked back to the stone wall, she slid down, pulled her knees up to her chest, she wrapped her arms around them, put her head on her knees and cried till she fell asleep. She woke up to her cell door opening. She quickly stood up as the guards grabbed her roughly and dragged her out of the castle, into the carriage and to court. At Court Court here In the Underground is just like court in the Aboveground. There is a court room and a judge. The guards brought Sarah in with shackles around her wrists. Sarah looked around the room she saw the judge in the center of the room. Some man next to him on the right and the left sat Arlene. At a table in front of the judge. She saw Jareth, Bethany and Desiree sitting there facing the judge. "Bring her forward" the judge called to the guards. They brought Sarah in front of the judge, he looked her over. " let's begin" the judge ordered a fae male stood in front the judge reading a piece of paper from an open folder." the Goblin King from the underground, VS, Sarah Williams from the Aboveground" he closed the folder handed it to the judge. He then looked at Desiree and smiled, Jareth gave the fae a murderous look. The fae sat down at a table next to Jareth's. " King Jareth, please step forward" the judge ordered Jareth got up and walked towards the judge " state your case for the court" " Sarah Williams tried to murder me, she poisoned me with an deadly herb" there were a lot of gasps in horror in the room , from the people watching behind them in there seats. Sarah tried to speak but the judge held up his hand to silence her. " continue Jareth" the judge ordered " she first came here 6 years ago, she wished her brother away in my care, to run the labyrinth" he said this as he was pacing back and forth in front of the jury, he continued to talk " she beat my Labyrinth, broke my heart, she got her brother back, returned home, only to friend my daughter, get close to her, so she can kill me" Jareth said Desiree stood up angry " THAT IS NOT TRUE" she yelled out "SIT DOWN" the judge yelled Desiree sat down with a huff of breath, she crossed her arms over her chest pouting. Jareth looked at his daughter " what kind of punishment would you like flicked on Miss Williams" the judge asked Jareth looked at his mother, Desiree, Bethany, than his eyes settled on Sarah full of hate, anger and coldness. "I will let the jury make the decision" Sarah bent her head down sadly. Jareth sat down next to Bethany. "Miss Williams" the judge said Sarah raised her head to look at the judge, thinking maybe now she could tell her side of the story. "How do you plea" he asked her. She guessed here they don't ask for sides, you're not from around here you don't get a say, if she says not guilty, she dies, if she's guilty she dies, so either way the choice is still the wrong choice. "What the hell" she said to herself. She noticed the judge getting impatient with her. "Not guilty, your honor" Sarah said "very well, jury speak amongst yourselves" she noticed the judge didn't seem very happy with her answer. She just stood there waiting, she already pretty much said goodbye to her family in her mind, she was going to miss Toby's big curious eyes looking up at her, his smile that always made her happy. She didn't want to die, but she didn't have a choice, it was going to happen no matter what, she couldn't stop it, and it looked like no one else could either. She looked around the court room, she saw Arlene in front of her staring at her sadly, turned her head to face the back. Jareth stared at her with hate, Bethany had a big smile on her face, Desiree's face matched her grandmothers. She noticed sitting in the back were her friends she hasn't seen since she came here. Trying to give her encouraging smiles, even giving her the thumbs up, she smiled at them, she was going to miss there cute faces, there friendship. Jareth saw her smile at someone, he turned to look, he saw her friends, his subjects, he knew of course they would be on her side not his; he rolled his eyes angry at them and turned to face the front. The judge hit his mallet on the desk. Sarah turned around she knew it was time for the bad news. "Jackal" the judge said the young fae grabbed a piece of paper from the jury. "What does it say?" the judge ordered Jackal he unfolded the piece of paper and read it for the judge " Execute the Mortal" everyone cheered there was booing mostly from her friends. Desiree, Jareth, the queen and Bethany remained quiet. Sarah bowed her head down in defeat. She knew this was it nothing or no one would help her now. The judge again banged his mallet on the desk for silence, everyone was quiet "does it say how she will be executed?" the judge asked Jackal "she will be beheaded" Jackal replied, Sarah raised her head sharply. Desiree quickly looked at her father, first she saw a look of guilt on his face with sadness, she smiled she knew her dad still loved her, he could stop this, than it was replaced with a evil smile, so evil it scared Desiree, and right then and there she realized, her father was not going to do anything, just do what everyone else will do, watch Sarah get beheaded in this very room. Sarah saw the guards bring in what looked like a chunk of wood and placed it in the middle of the floor. Another guard was sharpening his sword. Sarah felt her heart literally stop, she even felt nauseous, and she thought to herself "I never had my first kiss; I never fell in love, I'm never going to have my fairytale ending, never going to get married or have a family" the guard grabbed Sarah roughly than brought her to her knees in front of the wood and put her head down on it so her head was laying down on it. Desiree kept looking desperately at her father, hoping he would stop this, but he didn't look like he was, Sarah closed her eyes, her life flashed before her eyes, what lingered the longest was her time in the Labyrinth, her last memory that stayed was the ballroom scene, she saw herself dancing with Jareth, he was singing to her, she could see the love in his eyes, that she never notice before, tears started to come out of her eyes. She wanted to yell "WAIT" but before she could she heard someone else yell "WAIT" she wondered if it was her but no sound came out of her mouth. The guard lifted her up. She looked up at the judge she saw Arlene standing up "you can't do this, and I have the reasons why"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.
