JARETHMAGICAL

#33 Expectations Sarah watched as he approached, his face daunting even though she was so close to winning. His white feather cloak seemed to float on the non-existent breeze and his matching garments enhanced his lean physique. She allowed her eyes to rove over his body as he came closer. "Give me the child," she said in a near whisper. He halted for a moment, searching her face, before continuing his slow saunter towards her. "Sarah beware," he said in a low voice. "I have been generous up till now, but I can be cruel." He moved even closer and started to circle her, but she refused to be intimidated. In fact, she was quite amazed at wha

# 2: Love He'd waited all morning for an audience with the king, and now it was nearing the afternoon hour when petitions would end and all those who hadn't been heard would have to wait till the next day.  Personally, he thought it a bit ridiculous to have to wait behind all of these silly goblins.  The majority of the creatures were there with simple requests that didn't really need the king's attention.  He however had something important to discuss with King Jareth and Queen Sarah.  The fact that he'd put it off this long only made it more urgent that he see the royal couple. The fairies along the outer wall of the labyrinth were becomi

Chapter 8 # 50: Breaking the Rules Laying perfectly still, feigning sleep, Sarah waited until she heard the door close and the light from the hall disappeared. She waited a moment more until she heard her parent's door click shut. When all was silent, she jumped from the bed, completely dressed in jeans, a hooded sweatshirt and sneakers. She made her way over to her bedroom window and pushed it open. This would be the trickiest part, the transition between house and tree. The branch that extended past her room was about three feet away, but when faced with a two story drop, three feet seemed to magically change to ten. "Damnit, Sarah, just

Chapter 6 #81: Pen and Paper My dearest Sarah… Jareth stopped and viciously crossed out the starting line of his letter.  He tried again: Ms. Williams, No, no! Too formal… To the Champion of the Labyrinth Still too formal… To whom it may concern, That was worse than the other two! To the woman who holds my heart, He once again crossed this out, splattering ink as he did so.  He didn't want to reveal that much of himself to her just yet. Sarah darling, Still too much emotion… Jareth threw his quill down on his desk and pinched the bridge of his nose.  How was he to address her?  He'd finally decided t

100 Themes Challenge Chapter 5 #96: In The Storm Sarah rubbed her hands against her sweater-clad arms as she stared out into the swirling snow.  The blizzard had come upon them with almost no warning, and the weather crews had scrambled about trying to explain how the storm could have cropped up so suddenly. Sarah really didn't mind though.  She was one of the lucky few to have gotten home right before the storm started.  In fact the first few flakes had fallen right as she'd gotten out of her car and walked into her small second story apartment. She smiled as she felt a presence behind her.  A warm body pressed against her back and w

Chapter 3 #82: Can You Hear Me? "Come on Sarah!  You promised to have fun!" Rachel whined, tugging on Sarah's hand to pull her out of the passenger's seat of her blue Honda Civic. "Yeah, yeah, I can be miserable if I want to.  It is my birthday," Sarah groaned allowing Rachel to pull her out of the car and toward the front door of the karaoke bar. "You're gonna love this!  I know you will, because this hunk who calls himself The Thin White King is singing tonight!  Maybe if you're lucky he'll pick you to sing with him.  He always picks a female audience member to sing the last song with him," Rachel's words all came out in a rush and a

Challenge #2 #90: Triangle It's said that bad things happen in threes.  What wasn't said was that the bad things were usually caused by goblins.  Sarah Williams had a healthy respect for supernatural beings, particularly goblins and their king, however the antics of the aforementioned goblins were beginning to annoy her.  So far, the past two days had been plagued with bad things happening in threes.  The first day it had started out with her alarm clock being unplugged resulting in her being late to work.  At work that day someone tripped and spilt coffee on her white slacks, and the day had ended with her car dying on her.   Day two hadn

Theme #29: Happiness Happiness is unique to each individual. One person may think shopping brings happiness, another may think a bubble bath is the epitome of happiness, while still another may think chasing chickens around a throne room is happiness incarnate. Sarah Williams, while agreeing with the first two, wasn't quite sure about the third. However, Meep the goblin was happily proving her wrong. Meep and his friends had initiated a game of "catch the chicken" shortly after their monarch had told them to clear the throne room of the foul fowl. Since then, only two of the dozen chickens had been caught and released outside the castle. It

Healing A One-Shot Sarah slowly turned onto her stomach and trembling, rose to her hands and knees.  She ached… everywhere, but there was a sharp stabbing pain in her side that she was pretty sure was a broken rib or two.  Carefully, she settled herself down so she was sitting upright, leaning against the wall behind her.  She closed her eyes and tried to take deep calming breaths, but it hurt her side too much.  Grimacing, she rose unsteadily to her feet, balancing herself with a hand against the wall. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been in this much pain.  The sharp stabs from her side; the aching soon-to-be purple brui
