The protector Of The Champion

Chapter Three

 

Harker appeared in Sarah’s room, wondering why no one is keeping watch on her, he walked around the room quietly. He walked up to the room and listened and heard snoring outside the door, and figured Jareth had a goblin keeping watch outside the door, but was not smart enough to have one inside the room. He walked back to the bed where Sarah was sleeping he smiled down at her cruelly.

 He heard a noise outside the door and quickly vanished him and Sarah from the room.

The goblin keeping watch outside the room busted in, he looked around afraid, the bed was empty he ran around the room looking for her, she was not seen anywhere in the room.

He quickly ran to the library where Jareth was.

Jareth was talking to his mother and heard someone yelling for him, he stopped and looked at the door, he saw a goblin run in the room, and stand right in front of Jareth.

“What is it” Jareth asked annoyed for the interruption

“It’s the girl” the goblin said

“What about her?” Jareth asked upset

“She’s gone from her room sire” the goblin replied

“WHAT” Jareth yelled and then teleported

“Oh dear” his mother said worried

 

Jareth appeared in the room and looked around for Sarah, it turns out she was in fact gone.

“HARKER” he screamed then disappeared

 

Harker carried Sarah in the room, and then dropped her on the floor, Sarah was unconscious.

“Amilee, you have company” he told her

The princess got out of bed looking at Sarah, she sat next to her, brushing her hair out of her face, she then looked up at Harker afraid “what did you do to her?”

“It’s just a spell to keep her sleeping for a while, she will wake up shortly” he told her Amilee gave him a dirty look

“Oh and dear, this is the woman Jareth is in love with” he told her

Amilee gave him a confused look, he laughed wickedly and disappeared.

Amilee got up  walking to the bathroom grabbed a cold cloth, and sat back down next to Sarah rubbing her face with it, knowing that when she did wake up she would have one hell of a headache.

 

Jareth appeared in King Quinn’s throne room surrounded by ugly creatures known as Gremlins.

The king smiled cruelly at him “to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?”

“I want Sarah back” Jareth ordered him

King Quinn faked confusion “I have no idea what you are talking about?”

“How about the whereabouts of your daughter Amilee, you know where she is?” Jareth said

“I assure you goblin king; I know where my daughter is. She is safe away from you” he told Jareth

“I was never going to marry her, she was just grateful to me because I saved her from Harker who was trying to kill her” he told the king

“Harker would never hurt he loved her, but now my daughter thinks you two are in love” King Quinn told him

“That’s not true as you can see, I love Sarah, now just hand her over and we won’t have to go to war” Jareth told him

The king just stared at him

 

Sarah jerked awake, she looked at Amilee “who are you?”

Amilee smiled gently at Sarah “I am princess Amilee, the daughter of King Quinn”

Sarah looked around “where are we?”

“I’m afraid we are locked in my room, and there is no way we can escape” the princess told her

Sarah sat up slowly her hand going to her head, Amilee helped her sit up “I know you must feel disoriented and dizzy, that is all because of Harkers spell”

She looked at Amilee confused “I heard that name before”

The princess grabbed Sarah gently by her arm to help her standup “I am sure you have, he works for my father, he wants the champion dead”

Sarah looked at her horrified.

“I am guessing by the look on your face. That you are the champion” she says

“Yes I am” Sarah replies

“Don’t worry Jareth won’t let anything happen to you” Amilee tells her

“How do you know Jareth?” she asked

Amilee looked at Sarah sadly “I thought he loved me, I thought were destined to be together”

Sarah gave her a sad smile she continued “but he just saved my life against Harker, he is in love with you”

“Why does your father want me dead?”

“You’re powerful, and if you marry Jareth, you both will become very powerful and undefeated. And my father wants to stop that”

Sarah nodded trying to understand, but all of that was a lot to process when you have a pounding headache.

 

Jareth left the throne room, when he realized that the king was not going to be any help, he would just have to look for Sarah and Amilee on his own.

He’s been walking down hallway after hallway looking for anything strange he could find, he tried to listen for voices he couldn’t find any and he was growing tired and wary.

He created a crystal ball in the palm of his hand, he stared into it “show me Sarah”

Sarah’s image appeared in the mirror she seemed to be talking to someone. “Take me to Sarah” he ordered his crystal ball

Jareth vanished, he reappeared in a room, Sarah and Amilee looked confused at him. He stared at them and said “come on I am getting you two out”

Amilee backed away from them afraid she shook her head and looked down “I am sorry Jareth I can’t go, save Sarah”

“Amilee please come with us” Sarah begged

“My father will be very angry, and Harker would be sent to kill me again” Amilee told them unhappily

Jareth ignored Amilee and grabbed both her and Sarah and disappeared to his castle.

Harker appeared in the room, the kings gremlins broke the door down, they had swords in the clawed hands.

“He took the princess, my future bride” Harker said angrily

The gremlins growled, their eyes glowed red “we will take them to war” Harker says

 The gremlins laughed wickedly.

 

Jareth and the woman appeared in the throne room.

Amilee started to pace nervously “I have to go, I can’t stay here”

“Why do you have to leave?” Sarah asked afraid for her new friend

“My father promised Harker I would marry him. I tried to tell my father and Harker that I was marrying Jareth, just to get them off my back. But of course that didn’t work”

Sarah looked from Jareth to Amilee “but you’re not getting married right”

“No” Jareth said firmly

“No” Amilee said

Sarah turned her head a smiled in relief. When Sarah looked back at them, Amilee gave her a knowing smile.

Jareth was pacing his throne room “so what’s the plan?”

Jareth stopped at stared at Sarah “well Sarah my dear, we protect Amilee, no matter the cost”

Amilee stared at him in shock “even if that means going to war with my father?”

“Yes my dear even that” Jareth said

Jareth then looked both women over “bathe and get a good night’s sleep, tomorrow I will train you both to fight”

Sarah and Amilee bowed to Jareth and went with two goblins who would escort them to their rooms.

Jareth did a protection spell on their rooms to keep them safe until morning.
