Tortured For Love
Summary: Jareth gets tortured to save Sarah’s life Takes place ten years later Chapter One Bright lights turned on in a big cold, dark room, a man hanging from the ceiling by his arms in chains, his bare feet only inches from touching the cold, dingy, rodent and insect infested stone floor. The man has no shirt on, he’s just wearing pants. His back and front had scars and fresh whip marks on his body, and he had bruises on his face, caked on blood over it and in his wild blonde mane of hair. His eyes only open a slit, most of his eyes swollen shut, trying to adjust to the brightness of the light, from being in darkness for so long. He is dirty, he hadn’t bathed in years. Two men walk in, one almost 6 feet tall very muscular and carrying a whip, while the other a little shorter, and from the way he looks, he’s not one to be messed with. He looks angry, tired and frustrated. The shorter man walks up to the man chained, the taller one behind him fondling the whip. “Goblin King,” the shorter man said, frustrated. Jareth raised his heavy head to look at the man; he is very weak, his magic drained. The shorter man looked Jareth in the eyes, he sighed loudly. “Jareth you wouldn’t be here suffering for ten years if you would just tell me the name of the girl that beat you.” Jareth held his cold stare, not saying a word like he did for the past 10 years. He’s not going to let the elders hurt Sarah by torturing her like they are him, or worse make her a slave. The elders were afraid of humans and didn’t trust them, and now Jareth went and fell in love with one. This angered the elders royally, but Jareth didn’t care, he has never followed their rules. “Why are you protecting this girl? She is nothing but trouble,” the shorter man told him. “Why are you doing the elders dirty work?” Jareth hissed out from not using his voice and in pain. The shorter guy nodded his head, the taller guy walked behind Jareth and whipped his back. Jareth screamed in pain, even after 10 years it still hurt. The taller man stayed behind Jareth, you could tell he really enjoyed his job. “Come on, Jareth, all I need is a name, and I can find this girl,” the shorter man said while pacing back and forth. “I will never tell,” Jareth said in a scratchy voice. He stopped and stared at Jareth. “So you’re willing to die for this mortal?” Jareth looked him in the eyes. “Yes.” “She’s just a mortal, what makes her so great?” he asked, now interested. “She’s better than me, she’s better than you,” he got out quickly. The man laughed, “Really?” Jareth nodded his head at him, and then the shorter guy nodded to the tall man behind Jareth. He got whipped again, harder, so the whip would go deeper in his skin. Jareth again screamed. “Give me her name, Jareth,” the shorter man said, annoyed. Jareth stared at him, getting weaker. “Oh gods forgive me, and please protect Sarah,” he thought. He closed his eyes tightly, hissing through the pain. “Sarah, her name is Sarah Williams,” he said, defeated and bowed his head down. “Thank you,” the short guy said pleased. The men both left, leaving Jareth to suffering alone, and leaving him for dead. After they left, he raised his head and knew that he had to get to Sarah somehow. He started to look for a way to escape. A little sunlight shined through a window, and he found his way of escape, now he has to get himself loose. He pictured in his mind the worst they would do to Sarah once they found her, he pictured in his mind rape, beatings, becoming a slave. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and became overpowered with anger. He pulled tightly on his chains, until they pulled loose from the ceiling, and he dropped to the floor. He stood up slowly on wobbly legs and dusted himself off. He tried to open the window it wouldn’t budge, he had no choice but to punch his fist through the window. He had to get to Sarah. As he climbed out of the window and got on the ground he realized he was in the garden of his castle, or what used to be his castle until he got fired for being king and Reiko took over. People thought he was mean, they haven’t met Reiko yet. Jareth growled, hiding behind bushes and trees. Then he heard a noise and stopped, listening. He heard a voice he knew. “Why is this king so difficult, I thought the rat was, I really hate this king,” the dwarf moaned. Jareth smiled, putting his hands to his ribs. It hurt him even to smile. He opened his mouth to speak, no sound came out, his throat was dry. He tried again. “Hoggle,” he said, barely getting the name out. Hoggle stopped what he was doing and looked around; he didn’t see anyone and shook his head. “Hoggle,” Jareth tried again, a little louder. Hoggle looked around again. “Jareth?” he said, unsure he heard his voice. “Yes,” Jareth got out. Hoggle walked around, seeing Jareth leaning his back against the bark of the tree. Hoggle gasped in fear just looking at him. “What happened?” Hoggle asked, concerned. “I can’t talk about that now, I have to get to Sarah,” Jareth told him. “How can I help?” Hoggle asked. “I don’t have my magic, so I need the portal you use to go to her,” Jareth explained. Hoggle looked at him with surpris; he didn’t know that Jareth knew he still went to visit Sarah. “Can I ask why you need to see her?” Hoggle asked defensive. “If I don’t go to her now, she might be killed.” When he raised his voice he started coughing, and blood came out of his mouth. “Sire….uh, Jareth, we need to get you to a healer,” the dwarf told him. Jareth wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “There is no time, Hoghead.” Hoggle wince at the name while Jareth closed his eyes and sighed loudly. “I have to get to Sarah. Who knows what Elden and Rocko are going to do to her.” Hoggle got scared and his mouth went wide open and his eyes to match. “I hate to think of them having their hands on my Sarah.” Jareth raised an eyebrow at Hoggle. “Uhh… I mean our Sarah,” he replied nervously. Jareth smiled but it quickly faded when he remembered it hurt to move any part of his body. “Come on then,” Hoggle said and walked ahead of Jareth who crawled behind him. They came to a clearing in the woods. Hoggle looked around him, he held up some kind of glittery jewel in the air, he whispered something in another language; Jareth figured it was dwarf, then a portal opened up in front of him. Hoggle put the jewel in his pocket. “Take us to Sarah,” Hoggle said, and the portal swallowed them up and disappeared itself. In a small cottage in the woods lived a 25 year old brown-haired, green-eyed girl named Sarah Williams. She was sitting at her desk typing on her computer. She hit a button to save her work, shut down the computer, got out of the chair, and walked into the kitchen. She just got the food out the fridge to make a sandwich when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver. “Hello?” “Hello, Sarah,” a little voice said on the other end. “Hey, Toby, what’s up?” “Am I still coming over next weekend?” “Sure you are kiddo” “Yay,” he cheered into the phone. Sarah smiled as she walked over to the window to look out. She was looking at her garden in back, happy that Hoggle agreed to do it for her. He planted all her favorite flowers and she never told him what they were. They were roses, tulips, and a bunch of wild flowers. She then noticed movement behind her tree. She kept looking to figure out what it was. She turned her head and noticed her dog, a golden retriever she named Brandy, staring at her meat. She knew if there was someone in the yard her dog would hear them, she was a good guard dog. She turned back to look out the window, than she heard someone calling her name in the phone. “Oh sorry, Tobe, what did you say?” “I have been calling your name for hours!” Toby always did exaggerate. “It hasn’t been hours, just five minutes.” “Well, still, it was a long time.” Sarah laughed “So what was wrong?” “I thought I saw something in the backyard.” “What was it?” “Probably just a shadow.” “I have homework to do, sis, so I will see you next weekend.” “Okay, squirt, see you then. I love you.” “Love you, too.” She switched the off button on her cordless phone. When she turned and saw Hoggle standing there. “Holy jello!” she cried, jumping back, her hand flying to her chest. Hoggle raised an eyebrow at her. “Hoggle, what are you doing here?” she asked curiously? “Why do you still say that?” Hoggle asked, ignoring her question. “That’s what Toby says,” she told him. “But Toby can’t swear and you can, he says that cause it sounds almost like hell,” he told her. “I’m just used to saying it now, because of him,” she said with her hands on her hips, “and you never answered me why you’re here.” Hoggle took a deep breath. “I have to show you something.” He sounded scared and walked away from her into her living room Sarah got worried but followed him anyway. “Hoggle, you’re really scaring me.” Hoggle stopped and pointed to the floor, Sarah followed his finger, there was Jareth lying on her floor. “Is that…?” “Jareth, yes it is,” he told her. Sarah looked at him. “You told me he was dead,” she accused. “We thought he was, we haven’t seen him ten years,” he told her honestly. She walked over and kneeled on the floor next to Jareth who was lying there on his side. Sarah was ready to touch him, but she pulled her hand back, almost like he burned her. “I… Is he dead?” she asked softly, her voice quivering. “No, he’s unconscious. He got dizzy then threw up and passed out,” he told her. “Why bring him to me, why not a healer?” she questioned. “He needed to see you, and Reiko would find him,” he said. “Right, the new Goblin King,” she remembered. Sarah turned her phone on and started dialing a number. “What are you doing?” Hoggle whispered. “Calling him an ambulance.” “You can’t do that!” he said as he put his hand on hers to stop her. “Why not?” she asked. “Even though he has no magic, and seems to be human or somewhat human, not really sure what he is now,” he told her, “You can’t take him to the hospital.” “Well he needs a doctor. I can’t help him, I’m just an author,” she told him, getting upset. “Do you know a doctor?” Hoggle asked. Sarah started to think. She looked sad, and then she smiled. “How could I forget? There is a doctor down the street, she helped my grandmother when she was dying,” she told him. “Call her,” Hoggle commanded, getting impatient Sarah quickly dialed a number. “Hello, Julie, it’s Sarah Williams, you helped my grandmother, Betty Williams. She was sick years ago, and—yes, that’s right. Look, umm... I have a medical emergency. Can you come over?” Hoggle heard talking on the other end but couldn’t make it out. “Yes thank you, I will be waiting and please hurry.” Sarah hung up the phone. “We need to get Jareth to bed,” she informed him. “Not your bed,” Hoggle told her in a jealous tone. Sarah laughed. “No, of course not, Hoggle, you’ve been here for how long now, and you forgot about the second bedroom.” “Oh right,” he said, smiling in relief that they weren’t going to be sharing a bed. Sarah always knew that Hoggle had a crush on her, and she knows that he knows they can never be anything more than friends. Sarah and Hoggle did their best to pick him up; Sarah took his top half, Hoggle his bottom. They walked slowly to the second bedroom and laid him on the made bed. They had no hands to pull the covers down, they laid him on the bed as best as they could. Sarah grabbed a blanket that was on the stool at the end of the bed and covered him up with it. Sarah looked down at him sadly. Hoggle watched her with an envious look on his face, he wished Sarah would look at him like that, he knew Sarah had a crush on Jareth, he always could tell since the first time he met her. And he can see it now. They heard the doorbell ring, Sarah looked down at Hoggle. “Uh… Maybe you should disappear until she leaves.” “Uh... Right,” he said and ran down the hall to her bedroom to hide. Sarah waited until she heard her door shut before going to the door. She saw a woman with short brown hair standing there, looking like she was in her 40’s, carrying a doctor’s bag with her. “Hello, Sarah, where is the patient?” she asked, smiling. “Right this way,” Sarah said. Julie followed Sarah into the room, Brandy was in there licking Jareth’s face. “BRANDY!” Sarah scolded. Brandy stopped and looked at her than trotted off to the kitchen. Julie looked down at Jareth. “Oh God, what happened to him?” “An accident, not really sure of the details, a friend dropped him off,” she told her. “Boyfriend?” Julie asked. “Oh no, just a friend,” Sarah told her as she winced, not sure if her and Jareth are friends or if he would ever think of her as one. Julie sat on the bed next to Jareth. She opened her bag and slipped on a pair of plastic gloves. She started checking him on his stomach first, she checked his ribs and notice they were tender, then started checking the rest of him. She took out a notepad and started writing on it. “Why not take him to the hospital?” “I wasn’t sure who did this to them, and I didn’t want them to find him there, and finish the job,” she told her, hoping she was satisfied with her answer. “Okay, good thinking.” She then looked up at Sarah. “Well, Sarah, your friend seems to be okay, except for some scars and opened cuts that look infected, a hand that needs to be bandaged, and he has broken ribs, which I am going to patch up, but in the meantime, here are prescriptions I want you to fill.” She handed Sarah the papers, three sheets to be exact. “One is for pain, which he should be in a lot of. Once he wakes up, you might want to put a trash can next to the bed in case he vomits.” Sarah nodded her head and did just that. “The second is another pill to fight off infection, and the last is a cream to rub on his cuts to also help stop infection, you might also want to get him bathed before you do the cream.” Sarah nodded again. Julie took a white cloth and tape out of her bag. “Can you sit him up for me?” “Oh... Sure,” Sarah said she lifted Jareth up gently. Julie wrapped the white cloth around him tight and taped it up. Sarah laid him back down gently. Julie then bandaged his hand and took her gloves off when she was done. “I will be by to check on him in a couple of days,” she told Sarah before zipping up her bag and standing. “Thanks for coming, Julie” “No problem, Sarah, but you call me if he gets worse.” “Will do,” Sarah assured. Julie let herself out, closing the door behind her. Sarah looked down at the bed as Hoggle walked back into the room. “Is he going to be okay?” “I hope so,” she said sadly. “Oh, Hoggle, I have to run to the pharmacy, can you watch him for a bit?” “Sure,” Hoggle said. Sarah kissed Hoggle on the head and rushed out of the room. He heard the door slam behind her. Hoggle just stared down at Jareth, a part of him hoping he would live for Sarah, the other part of him hoped he would die, for the way he treated him. But he knew in his heart if Jareth died Sarah would be heartbroken and he would never wish that for her. Hoggle left him to go in the kitchen and make a snack.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.
