Chapter Nine The Next Morning Jareth woke up and realized he had been asleep against Sarah’s chest. Her arms were still around him and he smiled. Then carefully moved her arms off of him, and got out of bed, wobbly. That is how the healer, Analeigh, found him, and she quickly ran to help him. She gripped his arm roughly, to keep him from falling over. “What are you doing out of bed sire?” she hissed at him, worried. Jareth looked at her sharply. “I can get out of bed, if I want to,” his voice slightly rose. Then he looked at Sarah, and noticed that she was still sleeping and lowered his voice saying, “I have been stuck in bed for what seems like forever. I wanted to get out, to stretch my legs.” Analeigh smiled at him sadly. “I agree, sire, but you should still have someone help you until you feel stronger.” “I agree,” he told her and then added, “I have to go to the bathroom and I didn’t think anyone wanted to help me out of bed for that.” Analeigh blushed and nodded. “You’re right, sire.” She helped him into the bathroom, and waited for him in the bedroom. Sarah started to wake up and she looked around the room. When she noticed Jareth wasn’t in bed with her any longer, her eyes then fell on Analeigh. She watched the healer pacing around the room. “Analeigh?” Sarah called out. Analeigh turned to face her, startled. “Yes, Lady Sarah?” “Where is Jareth?” Sarah asked worried. Before Analeigh could answer her, they both heard the shower turn on. Sarah smiled, Analeigh left the room, and since Sarah was awake she didn’t think there was any reason for her to stay. Sarah stood by the bathroom door ready to knock incase Jareth needed her, but before she could knock she heard him yell out, “Damn it!” Sarah giggled and covered her mouth, but stayed standing by the door. A while later, the door opened and Jareth stepped into the room wearing only a towel. Sarah blushed and turned her head away, and Jareth smiled as he walked past her. Sarah kept her back to him and said, “I was surprised to see you were out of bed.” Jareth was slowly getting dressed behind her. “I had to get out of bed and take a shower because I was starting to smell dead like.” Sarah laughed at that, and then took her chance turning around and when she did this, Jareth had his pants on and was now buttoning up his shirt. She smiled in relief that he wasn’t naked. “What happened in the shower to make you yell?” she asked curiously. Jareth looked at her confused and then replied, “I dropped the shampoo.” “Oh,” Sarah said. Jareth was heading to the door to walk out of the room when Sarah quickly ran ahead of him and blocked the door from him having her back against the door and holding the knob. Jareth didn’t look happy. “Sarah, please move.” “No,” she told him. Jareth gave her an angry glare. “What do you mean no?” he asked. “Just what I said,” Sarah said as she crossed her arms over her chest. Jareth pouted and replied, “I can’t stay locked in this room any longer.” Sarah felt bad because she knew he must have been in this room for years and it was all her fault, so maybe it would be nice to get out and walk around. “Okay, we can go. Just let me get dressed first,” Sarah told him. Jareth smiled big at her, he watched her take clothes into the bathroom. Jareth sat on the bed smiling and waiting for her. Sarah came out in a light yellow dress. The sleeves went off the shoulders, and Sarah wore her hair up in a ponytail. Jareth stood up looking her up and down. He smiles at her when he reaches her face. “You look beautiful, Sarah.” She smiled and blushed at him and he then offered her his arm. She took it and they both walked out of the room. Jareth was still weak, so he couldn’t use magic to go anywhere. In the throne room Toby was telling the goblins, Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Ludo and Helena an animated story while using a sword. Jareth and Sarah got to the doorway, watching to see what was going on. “Then what happened, Master Toby?” Sir Didymus asked, intrigued in the story. Toby grabbed a sword and said, “The young prince saved the princess by killing the bad man and stabbing him in the heart,” Toby said as he moved the sword as if he was really stabbing someone. Toby continued on, “the princess kissed him and they lived happily ever after!” They all clapped “where did you hear that story from?” Helena asked. “My sister told me the story,” Toby said. Jareth looked down at Sarah smiling while Sarah smiled at her brother. Jareth walked in clapping. Sarah was confused because she never saw him pass her but she walked in behind him. “Very good story, my boy,” Jareth said. Toby got so scared by the interruption the sword flew out of his hand landing on the floor next to Jareth. Toby looked at him ashamed “sorry your majesty” he said as he bowed. Jareth smirked as he picked up the sword, he held it in his hand while he walked towards Toby. Toby was afraid, he kept walking backwards until he bumped into the stairs in front of the chair and sat down. Jareth pointed the sword at him. “How were you enjoying being king?” Toby looked at the sword then up at Jareth, fear shown all over his face. “I…I had fun, sire.” Jareth grinned. “Don’t you know it is dangerous to play with swords?” Then Jareth took out a cloth from behind his back and started polishing the sword. Jareth then walked over and put the sword back in the sheath on the wall. Toby took breathed a sigh of relief; he really thought Jareth was going to kill him. After Jareth put the sword back on the wall he turned around to face everyone. Helena ran up to her uncle and hugged him and he was so happy to see her, he cried. Sarah stood there watching them, tears also flowing from her eyes. Jareth let go of Helena and stepped away from her looking at her. “You grew up!” he said surprised. “Of course, Uncle Jareth, that’s what kids do,” she told him smiling. “I just wish I was there to see it,” he tells her. Helena looked at Jareth sadly. “if it wasn’t for Sarah, you would’ve been able to.” Jareth put his hands on Helena’s shoulders gripping a little roughly. “This was not Sarah’s fault. It was mine for falling in love with her.” “It’s still her fault, you were dying,” Helena said and pulled herself out of her uncle’s grip. She then grabbed Toby’s hand and they walked out of the throne room. Toby looked back at them sadly. Jareth sat down in his chair and then looked up at Sarah. “Helena will get over it soon.” Sarah nodded her head and replied, “I know. She is a teenager. I remember and I was like that, too.” Jareth smiles playfully at her. “I remember.” Sarah returned his smile and said, “You look good sitting in your chair.” “I missed it,” Jareth said. Sarah couldn’t help but stare and admire him. Everyone else quietly left the room, leaving Sarah and Jareth along. Jareth looked at Sarah when he noticed her eyes on him. “Come here,” he said to her. Sarah walked over to him and he grabbed her and set her on his lap. Then, he started to kiss her. Sarah wrapped her arms around him kissing him back. “Sire,” he heard a female voice say. Jareth growled from the interruption while Sarah laughed against his lips. Jareth looked over Sarah’s shoulder and saw Analeigh looking at them; her cheeks were red from embarrassment. “I’ll just come back later,” Analeigh said and quickly walked out the door. “Bloody good idea,” Jareth said before he went back to kissing Sarah.
