Jareth!

Chapter 13

Chapter 13, Goblin Queen?!

Sarah's POV

Sarah just did not understand what was so hard about saying simple words. "I love you" but for Jareth they were impossible. Was she supposed to be a mind reader? Because she was not one. She was never going to be one. He had to say something. Before it was to late!

Today was her wedding day. She had showered. Got ready. Everyone was fussing about her. She was getting her wedding gown on. This so was not how she pictured this day to be.

She thought she was going to marry the love of her life. Not be stuck with someone she did not even know. She never expected to fall in love with Jareth but she had fallen in love with the goblin.

He had saved her so many times before. What made now any different? She needed him now more than ever before? Sarah brushed a tear away from her eyes. Trying to keep her mind on other happy things.

Like helping the kingdoms come together. That was going to be a good thing. Then once she was a full queen she could get Jareth free and back to his own life. And she could let him go. Forever.

But until then here she was. She was going to marry a complete stranger.

Her heart just was not into it at all. Her mother was of course thrilled about it all. And so was King Torto. She had started to meet people from his kingdom as well.

Her friends had been asking her about Jareth. If she had freed him. She had explained no she had not freed him yet. That she tried. But he would not let her free him. That made no sense to them either.

"Do cheer up dear girl! Today is your wedding day" says her mother. She comes up and hugs her.

"I am trying to mother. I thought today would be well.....not like this" sighs Sarah.

"But you will learn to love your new husband" her mother tells her. "As I learned to love your real father"

"You were not in love when you married?" wonders Sarah.

"Heavens no. Not all marriages start out that way" laughs her mom. "you will be fine"

"I hope so" Sarah says looking down fallen.

"You look as though you lost your best friend in the whole world" says her mother.

"I have in many ways" sighs Sarah.

Her mother kisses her cheek.

"Today is a blessed day. A happy day!" she says. "we will have a grand time"

Her mother walks off humming a happy tune.

"Sarah?"

"Ludo hello" she greets the large beast warmly. They hug.

"Sarah sad?" Ludo wants to know.

She nods. "I am a bit sad" she admits. "but Sarah will be okay" she promises him.

"Sarah why are you marrying that twit?" wonders Hoggle as he hobbles over to see her.

"To help everyone come together that is why" she tells them.

"To help? You will make it all worse" says Hoggle.

"Worse? Why?"

"You do know what King Torto is?" asks Hoggle.

"Another goblin king?" asks Sarah.

"Well, no and yes" says Hoggle.

"What then?" she wonders.

"Be gone" orders one of Torto's workers. Her new lady in waiting was there to help her finish dressing. Her name was Lillianna.

"We were talking" says Sarah.

"You have a wedding to get ready for. You must not keep that handsome king waiting" says Lillianna cheerfully. She shoos Hoggle and Ludo out of there.

What was King Torto hiding from her?

Suddenly Jareth's magical crystals float in the air right to her side. How had that happened? She left them with Jareth. She grabs them and places them in her little purse she had for the wedding.

"What was that?" wonders Lillianna.

"My silly magic" laughs Sarah. "my my" she jokes nervously.

"This wedding will be such a blessing" says Lillianna.

"That is why I am doing it" says Sarah.

"You are going to make such a splendid goblin queen" brags Lillianna. "all done"

She added one more ribbon to Sarah's hair.

Then hums while she leaves the room.

Sarah gets the crystals out.

"What is king Torto? Is he a goblin as I?" asks Sarah to the crystals. "Show me" she orders them.

Then she tosses them into the air. They spin about like crazy.

She sees fairies. She knew before fairies were mean. They bit. They were nasty creatures. Hoggle had taught her that once. Long ago when she arrived in the underworld.

☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎

"A fairy?" wonders Sarah.

An image of Torto appears. He was a fairy. He was chatting to his people.

"We will take over! Those over grown smelly beastswill no longer have power over us!" he chants.

Then he casts a spell. They form into fake goblins. They all laugh and cheer.

"Sarah" calls her lady in waiting.

"Coming" gasps Sarah nervously. Did her mother know this?

She grabs the crystals then places them in her purse.

She follows her lady in waiting out of there. Should she go through with the wedding?

Was she putting everyone in danger?

She followed everyone to start the wedding. She waited to walk to her husband to be. Her heart felt as though it were going to break. Jareth was not there to rescue her yet. Where was he? Would he stop her? Tell her what her heart longed to hear? Should she do this marriage? Or was she putting her other goblin family into danger?

She closes her eyes. Trying to focus as the music begins to play. And all she sees is her fairy man turning into a goblin. He was not a true goblin. She had to ask her mother about this. Did her mother know?

☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎

"Mother?"

"Yes Sarah?"

"Do you like fairies?" Sarah asks her mom.

Her mother makes a face.

"No why do you ask? I detest those horrid little creatures" says her mother as she makes a face.

"I was wondering because...."

"It is time! She must walk! The king is waiting his queen" orders someone.

"It can wait Sarah" her mother tells her.

Then they begin to walk.

Her turn to walk to the king. They all looked her way. Her friends looked worried. Sad even. She had to look away. Then she walked down the aisle. She got to King Torto's side. The wedding begins. Once they got to the part whoever shall stop this speak now....

"Wait...." breaths out Sarah.

"Yes, my lady" says Torto.

"Are you a true goblin?" she asks.

"You are goblin. But not fully are we all full goblin's here" jokes Torto. "you are part human" he points out.

"Are you a goblin? I am not talking about me" she snaps.

"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah you should not have gone there" growls Torto with anger in his voice. His eyes glow red. Then before their very eyes all of them that came change into fairies.

Sarah and her mother gasp.

"Once we wed this kingdom I rule to! And I will banish all you goblins along with that awful Jareth who belongs behind bars for pushing us all around for years" laughs the king.

He forces Sarah's hands to be tied by another fairy.

☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎︎ ✫︎☪︎

"On with the wedding" he orders.

"I shall not wed you" snaps Sarah sternly.

"You shall" he chuckles.

"Sarah hurt!!" cries Ludo.

"Shall I begin?' asks the minister. He looked nervously.

"Go on" orders the king.

Sarah feels anger deep within her. She was not going to let harm come to her friends. She wished deep within she had goblin powers to. She could stop this from coming to be. She should have listened to Jareth. Why had she not listened to her heart?

She lets out a scream of frustration as her headache flashes in her brain. A powerful scream. It hurts all the evil fairies' ears. They flap about covering their ears up. She screams louder then Ludo does to the rocks when he needs them. Her chains break off.

Jareth is chained down below. His chains break at the sound of Sarah's screeching.

"Sarah needs me now" he breaths out.

Time to stop this wedding....at long last.
