Chapter Eight
Luc appeared with Sarah in front of King Quinn, the king looked at Luc with the woman in his arms. “What is this?” the king demanded motioning to him holding the girl Luc smiled brightly at the king “I succeed where my father failed, I brought you the champion” The King returned his smile “good for you my boy, not sure if your father Harker, would be pleased by this, but I sure am” Luc’s smile just got bigger, Sarah was struggling in his arms, she couldn’t believe that Luc was Harker’s son, she wondered if Jareth knew this. “What is it that you want with the champion mi ’lord?” Luc asked curious The King stood up from his throne and walked towards them “well Lucas” he noticed Luc cringe at that name, he knew he didn’t like it and that is why he went by Luc. The king continued to speak “I want to kill her, make the goblin king weak and take over his kingdom, I want the Labyrinth for myself, and by killing her who he loves-“ the king noticed as he said that Sarah’s eyes got wide, he guessed from the look of it , Sarah didn’t know the king loved her. The king continued “he will suffer making him weak to an attack and the whole underground will be mine” after the king said that he threw his head back and laughed wickedly, Sarah felt fear go through her, she just wanted to run away, Luc also began to laugh with him. Jareth appeared in front of his parents, they both looked at him, his step-father didn’t seem pleased with him being there, and his mother had a big smile upon her face. “To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit my son?’ the Queen asked kindly “I am here because Sarah made a mistake” Jareth told them The Queen’s smile vanished from her face and she turned serious, the King looked angry. “What did she do son?” his mother asked with worry in her voice Jareth shook his head in shame and then raised his head to look at them “I was trying to make Sarah jealous, so she would admit her feelings to me. But when Luc asked her to court him, she said yes” His mother looked upset and didn’t say anything, while his step-father looked outraged and quickly stood up. “Have you forgotten what that man, did to your sister, because of that man we have a grandchild out there somewhere, we are still looking for” the king’s voice sounded like he was yelling but his voice was echoing in the room, it made Jareth wince. “how could you do that son, you know how bad King Quinn wants your throne, so he can get to our throne, and you give him your champion” the queen said sadly “I know, I’m sorry” Jareth told them The king sat back down trying to calm himself, while Jolene walked up to her son “what is it you would like us to do?” she asks him Jareth looked her in the eyes “I want you to break them up, you have the power to do that right” “yes, we have the power to do that” the king said standing up and going towards them “but we have to go before the courts, to get them to agree, and Luc and Sarah have to agree to this too, if not their could a duel” Jareth turned his head to look at him sharply “duel, you mean I would have to fight Luc” “Yes my son, but no magic involved only swords” queen Jolene said “I can do that” Jareth said Jolene smiled and patted her son’s cheek affectingly “go back to your kingdom son, we will notify you as soon as we hear something” Jareth smiled at them and bowed, then disappeared. The king and queen sat back down in their chairs on their throne, the queen was worried about her son and Sarah, while she heard her husband complaining. “I always have to bail your son of his troubles; he has to learn to do things on his own sometime, that stupid boy” The queen gave the king a sharp nasty look, she didn’t like her husband calling her son names, or being mean to him, sometimes she wondered why she even married him, then she remembered, for some stupid reason after her husband passed, she fell in love with his best friend. “So what did you want the champion for?” Luc asked curious “Well I did want to kill her, but now I am not so sure, she is a pretty thing” The King said leering at her Sarah rolled her eyes and turned her head in disgust. “I planned to marry her, she is my conquest, I won her for now” Luc whined Sarah looked at Luc over her shoulder all she was to him was a conquest nothing more, that made her feel dirty. “Well for now, stick her in the dungeon, until I decide if you are fit to marry the champion or if I decide to kill her” King Quinn said Luc grabbed Sarah and put her in the dungeon, she had a cell all to herself, he closed the door behind her, and she quickly walked up to the door. “Please Luc let me out of here, I will do anything even marry you” she told him as she batted her eyes lashes at him trying to look flirty Luc was debating it then he looked at her “if you tell me you love me, I will let you out of here” Sarah looked at him sadly “I can’t tell you what I don’t feel” Luc put on a cruel mask and replied “fine rot in here, for all I care” and he disappeared, Sarah slammed her hand hard against the bars, and said ouch in a low voice. “Is someone there” a voice called out Sarah listened for a moment and noticed it sounded like a child’s voice. “Who’s there?” Sarah asked fearfully “No need to be afraid, I won’t hurt you, I’ve been locked in here since I was younger” the voice said “What’s your name?” Sarah asked curious “I’m called Olivia, what are you called?” Olivia said “I’m Sarah” Sarah said Olivia cheered happily “oh yes, I heard of you, I was told that you are my savior, that you will bring me to my real mother” Sarah was puzzled “who told you this?” “My adopted mother Lillian” the girl was smiling, then Sarah could hear sadness in her voice “she got sick, and I got locked down here, my adopted father didn’t want to care for me, since I wasn’t really his child, I want my real mother” “Who is your real mother?” Sarah asked curious “I never met her all I know is her name, my adopted mother’s dying wish is that I find my real mother. She told me that a girl named Sarah will find me, she is the champion” Olivia said with happiness in her voice “I might be able to help you, just tell me your mother’s name” she says “All I know is that her name is Tiana, I have no idea where she is” Olivia tells her “I know her” Sarah exclaimed “Oh thank god, then I can get out of here” Olivia said Sarah was silent for a moment before answering her back; she was looking around her cell “sure as soon as I figure out how to get out of here” Amilee walked into a darken room, the only light was faded candle light, she heard heavy breathing coming from the bed. She walked slowly to the bed, she sat on the floor, she looked at the person on the bed, in the dim light, it was a woman with dark hair, her face was sweaty, her hair was wet and clinging to her face, and she was breathing deeply as if she was forcing herself to breath. “Mother” Amilee said in a low sad voice as she brushed her mother’s hair out of her face The woman looked up at her and forced a smile on her pale face, she weakly ran a hand lovingly over her face caressing it “my beautiful princess” Amilee held her mother’s hand to her face; she had tears pouring from her eyes “mother please don’t leave me” she begged Her mother’s face sank and she dropped her hand out of her daughter’s “I’m sorry my child, but if god wants me he will take me, ain’t no one who can stop him” Amilee cried harder “can’t a healer do something?” “I’m afraid not sweetie, my body absorbed something, it infected me in the inside shutting down my organs, there is no cure” her mother explained “But we are immortal” her daughter whined “Yes honey, but just because we are immortal, does not mean we are protected by everything, it just means we can’t be killed the mortal way, something more dangerous and serious can kill us” her mother told her, she then started to cough and spit up blood “Mother, Mother” she cried Her mother had blood dripping out of her mouth, she smiled weakly at her, mouthed she loved her and just stopped breathing. Amilee leaned forward laid her head on her mother’s chest and started crying. King Quinn was in his throne talking to Luc, when King Kieran appeared in front of them. “King Kieran of the underground, to what do I owe the honor of this visit” King Quinn said King Kieran looked angrily at him “well brother, you can let the mortal go” “Brother” Luc mouthed to himself that was a piece of information he never knew “Only by marriage are we related brother” Quinn said with disgust “Yes and while my sister lies dying, you are still making everything miserable for everyone else” Kieran said “I am still king, my life has to move on, even if my wife can’t move on with me” Quinn says “I never knew what my sister saw in you, she is kind hearted and you are a bastard” Kieran said Quinn got up out of his chair to face Kieran “I never treated your sister cruelly, I loved her with all my heart, and it breaks that she is dying” “She’s dead” a voice said from behind them Kieran, Quinn and Luc looked to see who it was, they saw Amilee standing there tears coming down her face. Quinn walked up to her “what did you say” his voice demanding “I said father, mother is dead” Amilee told him sadly Quinn moved away from her shaking his head “no, not my beautiful Lillian” he then sank to the floor crying, Kieran went up to Amilee hugging her niece, Luc stood there not sure what to do. Quinn got up and brushed his tears, he then looked at Kieran “tell me your business, and then get out” Kieran let go of Amilee and walked towards him “I have this for you” he handed Quinn a letter. Quinn opened it and read it to himself, Kieran started to explain “as you can see the court wants to see all of us as soon as possible” Quinn looked at him angrily “fine, I will see you there” Hours Later Both families arrived in a room, a long table in front of them, with men and some woman but mostly men, they were the ones who will make the decision of Sarah and Luc. “Mortal come forward” one of the men said Sarah walked forward, stopping to stand in front of the man that spoke. “Do you wish to stay betrothed to Luc?” Sarah shook her head ad replied “no” The court looked at her then at Luc, and then to Jareth “you realize you have two men that want to fight over you?” “Yes sir I do” Sarah said The man nodded his head then spoke again “Luc and Jareth, you will fight to the death over this mortal, using no magic only weapons” Luc and Jareth nodded in agreement. “Wait” Sarah’s voice rang out “Yes mortal” the man asked “Since they are fighting over me, I would like to fight Luc for my freedom instead” Sarah told him Everyone in court gasped and started talking out of turn “ENOUGH” he yelled Everyone stopped the court room was quiet “let me get this straight, you want to fight for yourself” Sarah nodded her head and said “yes” “What do you get if you win?” he asked her Sarah looked at Jareth then back to face the court again “I marry Jareth” “And if you lose?” he asked Sarah thought about it then said “if I lose I’m dead” “Right you are dear” he told her He then turned to discuss it with the rest of the court, Sarah was nervous, her palms were sweaty. The head council guy looked at Sarah and said “we accept, Sarah will be fighting Luc to the death, beginning tomorrow at a place we choose, until then the mortal will be released in the care of the goblin king” Sarah looked relieved while Luc looked pissed. Everyone left the courts, until they notify them where the fight will take place.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.
