Chapter Nine
Reiko and Jareth had their swords in their hands, pointed at each other, and ready to fight.
Reiko looked around Jareth to stare at Sarah. “When you die, your Sarah will make a great slave for me.” He laughed wickedly.
Jareth growled and moved his sword forward in a swift motion, slicing Reiko's arm. Reiko hissed at the pain then looked at his arm. Blood dripped from the cut.
“You will pay for that,” he promised. He quickly moved towards Jareth, waving his sword in his hand and aiming for Jareth's head.
Jareth ducked and blocked his sword with his own.
Sarah tried going towards Jareth to break it up but Kira and Jen pulled her back and held her and Toby safely to them.
Before Jareth could react, Reiko grabbedg him by his hair and pulled his head back to look up at him. “You really think you can beat me?” he asked.
Jareth took the opportunity to move his sword forward and stab him in the stomach. Reiko let go of him, falling to the floor. He looked down at his shirt and noticed the growing red stain of blood.
“I do,” Jareth told him, smiling.
“Bastard,” Reiko grounded out. He got up quickly and aimed his sword at Jareth.
Sarah rushed to him. “Jareth, please stop this! I don’t want you dead!”
Jareth didn’t say anything. He smiled and pushed her back towards Kira, Jen, and Toby. Reiko took that moment to stab Jareth in the side with his sword. Jareth growled at the intrusion. Slowly, Reiko slid his sword back out. Jareth put a hand to his side. When he pulled it back, it was covered in blood.
Reiko smiled cruelly at him. “See what happens when your whore is here? you become an easy target.”
Jareth growled. “Sarah is not a whore,” he said through his teeth.
Reiko, liking to bait the Goblin King, said, “She will be when I get done with her."
Jareth went at him with his sword and Reiko blocked with his own. They started to fight with the swords once more. Reiko moved his body sideways, away from Jareth’s sword and elbowed him in the nose. It made a sickening crack and Sarah covered her mouth and gasped. The blow was hard enough to make Jareth lose his balance and he fell to the ground, his sword falling from his hands. Blood gushed from his nose. He closed his eyes a moment from the pain and steadied his breathing so he wouldn’t pass out.
Reiko looked down at Jareth, smiling at his victory. One move with his sword would kill Jareth and he would remain king with his precious Sarah by his side.
Sarah ran to Jareth’s side, but Reiko grabbed her by her hair and pulled her to him against his chest. “It’s all over for your Goblin King now - you're mine,” he said.
“No!” Sarah begged as she cried.
Jareth opened his eyes and focused around him. He heard Sarah crying and begging Reiko to let her go, heard Toby yelling for him to leave his sister alone. He sat up slowly and as he glanced around the room and he saw Reiko holding Sarah to him, smiling at his triumph, Toby kicking and hitting Reiko, Jen and Kira trying to get around Reiko to save Sarah. Jareth smiled. Reiko’s back was to him. An advantage. He wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand and stood slowly. He walked quietly to his sword.
Reiko had enough of the young kid hitting and kicking him that he pushed Toby away from him - hard. He fell on the floor, landing hard on his arm. Toby started crying and Kira rushed to him, comforting him and checking his arm.
She turned to look at Reiko. “Are you happy with yourself? you broke his arm.”
“You big bully!” Sarah exclaimed.
Reiko held her tighter to him. “I think I will change your tune when you share my bed tonight.”
“Never,” Sarah said. She stomped on his foot hard and pulled out of his arms.
Reiko stood there, smiling at her then moved towards her until he frowned and gasped in evident pain. They all looked at him and noticed his shirt was covered in blood, a sword sticking out of his chest where his heart was.
Reiko looked down at the blood and sword sticking out of his chest. “This isn’t good at all,” he hissed and fell to the ground.
They watched him fall then looked up and saw Jareth standing there, breathing hard and his nose and side bleeding. He started to sway from the blood loss and Jen quickly grabbed him to steady him.
“Is he dead?” Sarah asked while looking down at Reiko.
“I hope so,” Jareth said.
Kira walked over slowly to Reiko’s body. She got down on her knees and checked for a pulse. “He’s dead.” She walked over to Toby and picked him up.
They all left for the healers.
At the healers
Jareth and Jen walked in first, followed by Kira, Toby, and Sarah. An older dwarf woman with long curly gray hair looked up at them. She was surprised to see Jareth.
“Your Majesty, it is so good to see you again.”
Jareth nodded his head at her. “It’s good to see you, too, Agatha.”
“Sit up here,” she said and motioned for him to sit down on a bed.
He sat down in front of her and she examined his nose. “He broke your nose, did he?”
“Yes, the bastard,” Jareth said.
Agatha wasn’t taken back by his swearing. She smiled at it. She started to touch his nose, messaging it, and then she gently grabbed it in her finger and thumb and moved it back in place with a crack.
“SON OF A BITCH!” Jareth yelled.
“Don’t be a big baby, Your Majesty,” Agatha said.
Jareth looked glared at her. “I should have you killed for that.”
“You have been threatening that since you were a child - it gets old after a while,” she replied.
“You knew him since he was a child?” Sarah asked, amazed.
“Yes, I delivered him,” Agatha told Sarah proudly. She gave Jareth a handkerchief to wipe the remaining blood off his face while she lifted his shirt up to look at his side. “This will need stitches,” she told Jareth. Then she looked over at Sarah “I believe you know my son.”
“I do?” Sarah asked, confused.
“Yes, Hoggle” Agatha said.
“Hoggle is your son? Wow! Now that you mention it - I do see the resemblance,” Sarah said.
Agatha walked over to a table, grabbing thread and needle and a container, then she walked back over to Jareth.
“You are going to numb me first, right?” he asked.
“That’s what this is for,” she said, holding up the container. She opened and stuck her fingers in it. When she pulled her finger out, the substance looked like lotion and smelled really bad. “This will numb you plus fight off infection,” she explained.
“Just get on with it,” Jareth told her.
She waited a couple of minutes after applying the lotion before she started to stitch him up. Every so often he would hiss, but most of the time he just sat there staring at Sarah.
When Agatha was done stitching him up, she said, “Now sit there for a moment.”
“You don’t have to talk to me like a child,” Jareth told her.
“Maybe if you didn’t act like a child, I wouldn’t have to treat you like one,” she told him as she walked over to Kira who was still holding Toby.
“What happened to the child?” she asked gently.
“Reiko pushed him and I think his arm is broken,” Kira told her.
“Sit him down next to Jareth,” Agatha told her.
Kira set him down and Sarah walked up to the bed to stand next to Toby.
“What is the child’s name?” Agatha asked Sarah.
“Toby,” Sarah replied.
Agatha smiled at Toby. “Toby, honey, don’t worry - this won’t hurt at all.”
Toby nodded, a bit scared.
She ran her hand gently over his arm. “Yes, it’s broken,” Agatha told Sarah.
“Oh, God,” Sarah said. “Do you think you can avoid using a cast? My stepmother will kill me if she sees Toby got hurt in my care.”
Agatha looked at Sarah, puzzled.
“It’s a casing put over a broken body part where she is from,” Jareth explained.
“Oh,” Agatha said. “Don’t worry. He will not wear any type of casing on his arm.”
“Thank you,” Sarah said, smiling big.
Agatha grabbed a jar off the table behind her and opened it. Again, it smelled awful. She dug her fingers in. This time, the substance she pulled out looked white jelly.
“Now, this will burn a little bit,” Agatha told him calmly.
Jareth watched them and noticed Sarah and Kira were watching Agatha and Toby. He slipped off the bed and walked out of the room, unnoticed by them except for Jen who quietly followed him out.
Jareth walked into his throne room and looked down at Reiko’s dead body.
“I will get someone to take that away,” Jen said from behind him.
“Thanks,” Jareth said in a low voice. He walked up to his throne and sat down.
Jen walked up to him and stood in front of him. “Is something wrong, Jareth?” he asked, concerned.
Jareth looked lost in thought then he looked up at Jen. “Hmm…? It’s nothing,” he told him, brushing him off.
“Jareth, we have been friends since we were kids - you can tell me anything” Jen said as a couple of Jareth’s goblins took Reiko’s body and dragged him out of the room.
Jareth stood up and started pacing. Then he stopped and looked at Jen “Sarah is going to hate me.”
“Why would she hate you? What did you do?” he asked him, confused.
“I have to send her home,” Jareth told him.
“Why? I don’t understand.”
“She doesn’t belong here - it’s too dangerous for her here. I am sure now that I am here the elders are going to want to punish me for escaping,” Jareth said.
“Jareth, she is going to put up a fight - you know she won’t leave you,” Jen said.
“I know... Then I will just have to get her to want to leave,” Jareth said.
“How?” Jen asked.
“Get her to hate me,” Jareth told him.
“Jareth. you don’t want to do that,” Jen said.
Jareth was about to reply when he heard people coming. They both watched Kira, Sarah. and Toby walk in.
“Toby was really brave while Agatha was healing him. She gave him a lollipop.” Sarah told them/
Toby showed them the lollipop he was eating.
Kira looked from Jareth to Jen. knowing they looked tense “Did we interrupt something?”
“No, we were just talking,” Jareth said.
Jen nodded in agreement.
Then a flash of light appeared in front of them and the Elders appeared in front of them.
“Kira, get them out of here,” Jareth ordered.
Kira quickly grabbed Sarah’s arm and picked up Toby. She walked them over to a giant window and quickly climbed on the sill. “Sarah, pick Toby up and give him to me,” Kira told her.
“Kira, I don’t think so - he might get hurt,” Sarah told her.
Kira looked at the elders who were watching them. “Hurry up, Sarah?”
Sarah quickly picked up Toby and handed her to Kira. The other woman held him tightly in her arms. “Now climb up, Sarah.”
Sarah looked at Kira, afraid, but she climbed up next to Kira anyway. And looked down. “Uh... Kira, I am not good with heights.”
“It’s okay, Sarah, just give me your hand,” Kira comforted her. Sarah gave Kira her hand and the other woman held it tightly in hers. “Hold on tight.”
Kira jumped out of the window. Sarah realized they were falling, but gracefully floating instead of rapidly plummeting. She looked behind Kira and noticed she had wings. They dropped softly on the ground. Sarah noticed her wings went back behind her cape.
“You have wings?” Sarah said, surprised.
“Yes,” Kira said, looking around.
“Does Jareth have wings?” Sarah asked.
Kira looked at her. “Of course not - he’s a boy,” she replied with laughter in her voice.
“But Jareth turns into an owl,” Sarah said.
“Yes. Male Fae turn into birds, female Fae have wings,” Kira told her.
“Oh,” Sarah said.
Toby looked up at the window then down at the ground. He turned towards Kira and Sarah. “That was fun! Can we do that again?”
“No,” Kira and Sarah said at the same time.
Toby pouted at them.
Back in the castle
“Orthos and Athena, to what do I owe the honor of your visit?” Jareth asked.
“You escaped your prison,” Orthos told him.
“I had to or Sarah would’ve been killed,” Jareth said.
Orthos looked over at Athena. “He’s not lying about that,” she confirmed.
“Fine, then the girl remains here,” Orthos demanded.
“I’m sorry I can’t do that,” Jareth said.
“And why not?” Orthos asked.
Athena smiled, already knowing the reason.
“She doesn’t belong here - it’s too dangerous for her here,” Jareth said.
Athena smiled kindly at him. “Jareth, if you truly love this girl, you can make it work.”
“You’re going against me?" Orthos said, surprised.
Athena turned towards him. “You know me, my lord - I always loved happy endings.”
Orthos rolled his eyes in disgust.
Jarerh sighed deeply. “Grandfather.” he said, looking at Orthos. Then he looked at Athena. “Grandmother. Please just let me do what I think is right.”
“Jareth, you are making a big mistake,” Athena told him.
“Jareth. you were tortured for this girl when you didn’t have to,” Orthos reminded him.
“I know I didn’t have to, but I didn’t want you to bring her here and force her to marry me, so I refused to tell you,” Jareth said.
Jen, who was confused and not understanding, said, “Let me get this straight - Jareth got tortured only because he refused to give you Sarah’s name so you could bring her back here and force her to marry him?”
“Yes,” the elders said.
“How did Reiko fit into this?” Jen asked.
Orthos and Athena looked at each other and she replied, “He was evil and always wanted the throne from Jareth so while Jareth was getting tortured, we gave it to him.”
Jen interrupted her, “And you knew Jareth would kill him?”
“Yes, child, you should know I can see into the future.” Athena told him. Then she looked at Jareth. “By letting Sarah go, she will never forgive you.”
“That’s a chance I am willing to take,” Jareth told her.
“Think about it - she is your soul mate. She was right - her kingdom is as great as yours,” Athena told him.
“It was only a story,” Jareth said.
“That we wrote for you and your uncle Jeremy. Sarah’s mother’s boyfriend gave it to her” Athena said.
Jareth opened his mouth wide in shock. “You knew Sarah was my soul mate? For how long?”
“You underestimate me, my boy. I can see very far in the future. If you lose Sarah now, it changes your future with her,” Athena told him, worried.
“Again, I have to do what I have to do,” Jareth said.
“You can’t change his mind - he is as stubborn as his mother,” Orthos said to Athena.
“Please tell my mother hello,” Jareth said then disappeared.
Orthos and Athena then looked at Jen. They all looked uncomfortable.

Jareth appeared in front of Kira, Sarah, and Toby.
“Okay, I am here to send you home,” Jareth said.
Sarah hugged Toby. “Okay. you be good and remember that I love you.”
“You’re not coming with me?” Toby asked sadly.
Sarah looked at Kira and Jareth. “No, Toby, I am going to stay here,” she told him.
Toby pouted. “I want to stay here, too.”
“Toby, you belong up there with Karen and Dad,” Sarah said.
“Actually, Sarah, you both will be going back,” Jareth said.
Kira turned sharply to look at Jareth.
Sarah looked at Jareth, surprised. “You don’t want me to stay here?”
Jareth put his cold mask in place. “No, I don’t.”
Sarah walked up to him. “Why don’t you want me to stay here?”
“I needed you to get my magic back and help me get my kingdom back,” he told her coldly.
“You used me?” she said, appalled that he would do such a thing.
Kira was confused and had no idea why Jareth was acting this way. She knew he loved her. She didn’t know why he was telling her this or treating her this way.
“I did. It was fun while it lasted, but it’s over,” Jareth told her.
Sarah looked at him. For a moment she saw a look of remorse flas though his eyes, but then he looked coldly at her. “I don’t believe you,” she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
He sighed deeply annoyed.
“You told me you loved me. We had sex.” She whispered the last part.
“I lied. I was just using you for sex - you were right the first time. Now I got what I wanted. No need to relive it,” he replied distantly.
“JARETH!” Kira yelled, surprised.
“Stay out of this,” he ordered.
Sarah felt her heart break. She thought she finally found a man that loved her, but he was just like her ex-boyfriend Kyle. She could feel the tears coming, but didn’t want to give him the satisfaction by crying in front of him. She slapped him hard across the face. Jareth’s head snapped to the side from the blow.
Kira watched the display sadly.
“I CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL IN LOVE WITH A MONSTER!” she screamed at him.
Jareth bowed his head down. He then made a crystal appear in his gloved hand and threw it and it created a portal. Sarah and Toby walked through it. Sarah looked back at them sadly. Kira waved and smiled sadly at them.
They disappeared and Kira looked at Jareth. ready to yell at him, when she noticed Jareth had tears in his eyes. It has been a long time since she'd seen him cry.
Then she finally got it.
“You sent Sarah away to protect her.”
Jareth looked at her with his glassy mismatched eyes. “If you ever tell her that, you will regret it.” He walked back to his castle.
Kira followed him mournfully.
