The Crossroads of Love ch.4

Author’s note: This one is bit short but very imp.

Chapter Four

Jareth arrived in his bedroom chamber and he decided to look at the stars from his balcony. He looked at his kingdom how still and silent it was. Except ofcourse there by the brawlroom and the bars and ofcourse the poolhall but other than that everything else was nice and quiet.

Jareth remembered how Sarah’s face looked when he offered her the dress he had made especially for her. He knew she would like he had guessed right.

He decided it was time for him to go to bed. He didn’t even think of Gertrude and how she might be doing but on the contrary his mind was on Sarah. He decided to look into his crystal to see what she was up to.

‘She must be sleeping by now’

He looked into his crystal but he didn’t see Sarah on her bed. He didn’t see Sarah at all.

“Where are you Sarah?” He said as he sat up on his bed showing his bare chest. The Goblin King liked to sleep naturally if you know what I mean?????(Sorry lost myself there for a minute) Anyways,

“Where are you Sarah?” he repeated as he looked everywhere she would usually be.

Then all of a sudden he hears a voice in the dark of his room. It sounds like Sarah?

“I’m here Jareth, I wished myself here in your room so that I may be able to make love to you my King.”

Jareth’s mouth nearly dropped to the floor as he lit up his lantern and found Sarah in a silk teal night gown. The gown cut so low it nearly showed her bosom. Her hair was flowing with the little air that came from the open balcony door. Her hazel eyes looked deep into Jareth’s with desire.

Jareth could only look at her with hunger and could not believe what was going on. He only shook his head in disbelief and got up to recieve his beloved into his arms.

“Sarah but, what made you do this all of a sudden?”

She placed her finger over his lips,”Shhhhh don’t say a word Jareth let’s just enjoy this moment. We can talk later.”

Jareth lifted her up and threw her on his bed turning the lantern off afterwards. The session was long and heated for his love for Sarah was strong. He was surprise by her experience knowing himself she had only two lover’s in her life. But then again he would throw the crystal against the nearest wall letting it shatter so he may never see Sarah in such an ordeal.

When all was done Jareth hugged Sarah tightly and kissed her lightly on the forehead,”Sarah you have no idea how many times I have dreamt of this day. And now here it is, but this all seems to unreal. I must be dreaming.”

“Believe me Jareth this is real and the only thing unreal about this is how I never really thought about this before. But believe me it was worth the wait.”

Jareth smiled and kissed her deeply falling asleep with Sarah in his arms.

——————————————————————–

Morning came and Jareth woke up with a smile on his face remembering his passionate night. He rolled over not feeling Sarah in his arms and when he did he nearly jumped out of his bed. He sat up only to see long silvery hair and pale skin.

“Gertrude! What are you doing here?!?”

Gertrude woke up smiling and stretching her arms saying with a synnical voice, “Why Jareth I’m your wife what do you mean what am I doing here? This is my place.”

“What but what about Sarah? What did you do to her? You’ll pay if you have harmed her!”

He grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her,”Tell me what you have done to her you witch?”

Gertrude fought her way out of his grip and got up from the bed.

“Relax Jareth she is fine. She is still sleeping away dreaming about Ryan.”

She conjured up a crystal and there was Sarah sleeping in her bed.

Jareth stood up placing on some black silk ( yeah silk!) sleeping pants.

“What is the meaning of this?”

He looked at Gertrude and he now recognizes the teal night gown she was wearing.

“I can’t believe this! It was you last night wasn’t it!?! Do you have no respect for yourself?”

He ran up to her and slapped her across the face leaving a red mark on her cheek.

Her eyes grew wide as she tried to hit him back blood spilling from her mouth. Jareth blocking her blow threw his face aside so she would miss.

“Why did you do it Gertrude?” He said while holding both of her hands tightly as she tried to get free.

“Well Jareth, you leave me no choice. So I simply placed a spell on your crystals so that you may not see Sarah’s image and I used faery glamour to look like her.”

She was able to set free one hand and she placed in his groin area.

“But obviously your great love for Sarah blinds you my luv for you could not tell it was your wife instead of Sarah the bitch. I don’t see what you see in her Jareth she is nothing! But me on the other hand I am royalty like you and I would die for you Jareth.”

Jareth slapped her hand off him and growled at her with his pointy teeth. “You have no self respect woman. You are nothing but a grotesque bitch who disguises herself as someone else because she is not woman enough for her husband!” He let her go feeling disgusted to just be that near her.

Gertrude bit her tongue trying not to cry but rather wanted to enjoy her moment. She merely smiled a great smile and sighed,”For what it’s worth Jareth you are a much better lover awake then asleep. Boy there were days were I could barely keep your little mate up if you know what I mean.”

She circled him like a hungry wolf hunting it’s prey. Jareth felt like he would explode,”What do you mean? Don’t tell me you have done this before?”

“All is fair in love and war my dear husband. I merely did what I did because I love you Jareth or don’t you see that?”

She threw herself at his feet kissing his hands.

Jareth felt as if he would throw up but he was not surprised by what Gertrude was saying he knew that she was capable of doing such things. He knew she had it in her.

“Gertrude you make me want to throw up! You digust me and I can not and will not ever love you! You can play your tricks on me if you like but don’t I mean don’t you ever pretend to be Sarah again. You are to never interfere with Sarah again. But this I will only say once, if I catch you doing this again Gertrude…”

He picks her up by the hair and grabs her arms tightly almost pressing his nails into her frail skin.

“I will make you disappear and no one and not even your daddy will ever find you! You disgusting little harlet!”

Jareth disappeared leaving behind his mark of glitter.

Gertrude only smiled and began to laugh and cry at once for she knew this was only the beginning of what was to come to Jareth. “You shall pay Jareth, you shall pay for never loving me! And so will your precious Sarah!”

She looked like a madwoman nearly pulling her hair off as she cackled out loud at her own maniacal plan.
