Fooled Heart
Chapter 14: No Farewell
Sarah woke in the darkened mine. Whatever Jareth had used to illuminate the area was gone, leaving nothing but darkness. "Toby?" Sarah whispered quietly. The sound echoed through the mine. "Toby?" Sarah repeated, a little louder.
Sarah felt the ground around her for her sleeping brother, but found nothing. "Toby?" Sarah called again, the name echoing. She began panicing. "Toby!" she shouted.
"Keep your voice down," a soft voice hissed. The room was illuminated once more. Jareth stood before her holding one of his magic crystals. "He is safe. He has returned home," Jareth spoke softly.
"How could you let him go back there?" Sarah hissed.
"He is back home with his parents, Sarah," Jareth clarified.
"They are not due back-"
"You have been asleep for quite some time, Sarah," Jareth said, cutting her off. Sarah gave him a horrified look. "I'm sorry," he said, "You were under too much stress. I thought it would be for the better."
"So you put me to sleep? For a week?" Sarah hissed. Jareth ran his fingers through his hair. "Why would you do that? I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye!" Sarah spat at him before burying her face in her hands.
"I know you are upset-"
"Damn right I'm upset!" Sarah yelled at him as she rose from the cold floor beneath her.
"Sarah, please keep your voice down!" Jareth hissed quietly.
"Are you bent on making my life miserable?" Sarah asked, clutching her fists at her sides. A long pause followed. "Answer me!"
"No," Jareth said after a moment.
"Then why are you always so horrible?" Sarah demanded.
Jareth looked at her with deep sadness in his eyes. "I'm trying to make things easier for you, Sarah," he said quietly. "I didn't want you to deal with the stress of waiting or saying goodbye."
Sarah glared at him. He moved a step closer. She stiffened. "I was being a little selfish, too, I admit," he said, taking another graceful step closer. "I was afraid when you and Toby said your goodbyes, you would change your mind."
"I only agreed to go back to the Underground to keep myself and Toby safe. We will defeat Dimonis and I will go home," Sarah stated sternly.
Jareth raised an eyebrow. "That isn't what you said before."
Sarah shot him a dirty look. "I changed my mind," she stated.
"You will decide after Dimonis is no longer a threat," Jareth said softly, "That is what you said, and that is what I will hold you to." Sarah grunted in disagreement, but said nothing further. "We need to leave now. They have found us."
The cavern was filled with the stench of rotting flesh. Sarah cupped her hand over her nose and mouth. Jareth wrapped one arm around her and used the other to smash his crystal on the floor of the mine.
The next second, the pair stood just outside the castle within the Goblin City.
