Kk,............... The Queen of the Goblin King
Prologue/Chapter One
Prologue..............................................................................................
It had been four years since Sarah had completed the Labyrinth, and in turn defeated Jareth, the King of the Goblins. Now about to finish High School and head off to college, Sarah couldn’t help but think back on her journey through the Labyrinth, her encounters with Jareth, and her friends, Ludo, Hoggle, and Sir Didymus. She smiled at the memories of how they stubbled through the mazes and traps, trying to get to the castle beyond the Goblin City. Then, once inside, having to face the hoards of Goblins as they made their way to the castle to save her brother Toby. It hadn’t been easy, and Jareth was cunning in his tricks and illusions. Sarah ran and stumbled up and down stairs, through passages, and at long last, jumped from a ledge to get to her little brother in the Relativity room. When it was all said and done, Sarah won, and both she and her brother were returned home to the aboveground.
Though she had refused his offer of dreams and desires, Jareth had allowed Sarah the privilege to visit her friends from the Labyrinth whenever she liked. A kindness she would forever be grateful for; but as the years went by, Sarah came to understand exactly what Jareth had been offering her all those years ago, and even though she had once feared him she found now she cared for him, though not in the way he did for her. It broke her heart that she couldn’t love him, for he had been very generous and kind since her victory, and in fact seemed to be watching over her. For every now and then, she’d catch a glimpse of a sandy barn owl, peering in through her bedroom window, in a tree outside her school, or even perched on the stone bridge in the local park.
Of course she never approached the owl, but all the same she could feel Jareth’s eyes one her. If she were honest with herself, Sarah would admit that it was slightly unsettling at times, but never the less she allowed Jareth to keep watch over her. After all, she was the one thing he had wanted, and still wanted after his defeat five years ago. So Sarah thought,
‘What’s the harm in allowing him to be my guardian, if he can’t be something more?’ So life went on and Sarah entered into her senior year of High School.
It was at this time, during her final year, that she met Shophin Moore. Also a senior, Shophin was hoping to get into an Art school after her last year of High School. She and Sarah met in a Basic Drawing class during the beginning of the semester, and both having a passion for fantasy, they became friends instantly. They found that they not only shared a love for plays, books, and art on fantastical places, but they both had a fondness for the strange, unusual, and sometimes darker creatures in myths, legends, and fairy tails. Sarah became so close with Shophin that she eventually told her of her adventures in the underground, her friends from the Labyrinth, and even about Jareth. Though Sarah had expected Shophin to show interest on the subject, she never dreamed that her new friend would believe her, but believe her Shophin did. To the point that she would ask Sarah again and again, when she slept over, to tell her about the Labyrinth, it’s many traps, inhabitants, and about Jareth, their King.
So Sarah would tell her stories over and over, surprised Shophin never tired of them, especially when she described Jareth. But, she couldn’t blame her, Jareth was a very handsome man, though a bit extreme in his style of dress and his ever present compulsion to do what Sarah expected of him, whatever it may be. It was on one such occasion, when Sarah received an urgent message from her friends in the under ground. And, though she had shared the stories of the world of the Labyrinth with Shophin, she never thought to involve her new friend in a new and very dangerous journey to the Castle beyond the Goblin City.
Chapter One.........................................................................................................
Shophin stared at her reflection in Sarah’s vanity, she had never considered herself a great beauty, but she thought of herself as fair. Her pale skin was soft, stretched over her voluptuous five foot figure. Though she wasn’t as slim as a model, she had a body that most with a similar form would envy. She was a red head, her hair falling past her waist in loose curls, with emerald green eyes that were framed with long black lashes. All in all, she thought she was fair enough even if most now a days went for the girls in Vogue, or People magazine.
Sarah was pretty in Shophin’s opinion, in fact she thought her friend was by fair the prettiest girl she had ever met. Not just because her skin was like ivory, with long dark hair, and piercing blue eyes, no Sarah was beautiful on the inside too. That was the one thing Shophin felt she lacked, inner beauty, and she envied Sarah for it. But, Sarah wouldn’t hear a word of it, claiming that Shophin was just as beautiful on the inside, she just needed to let herself see it.
As a child Shophin had been brought up in a somewhat broken home, her father always out on, what he said, was business, but her mother never failed to scoff at his excuses and say,
“Business, oh I’m sure that the inner workings of your secretary legs is much more important then eating dinner with your family.” Though her mother was one to talk, because she was a publisher for one of the states biggest fashion magazines, she was hardly at home for dinner herself. She would continually make comment about Shophin’s weight, making her very self conscious to the point where she was nearly starving herself in middle school. All the drama at home, and the constant worry of being excepted at school, left Shophin feeling like she came up short in everything.
She finally got some counseling and resumed a more healthy way of eating and moderate exercise, but she still felt inadequate when it came to making friends. Then she met Sarah, and Shophin felt like she could be herself, without any worry of reprisal. Through Sarah, Shophin had the freedom to explore the world of fantasy in a way she never even imagined she’d be able to. Especially when Sarah began telling her about the Underground, and the creatures that lived there. Though Shophin had to admit, she loved hearing about Jareth the most. The way he looked, his manner, the way he talked, even how he moved.
Shophin shook herself from her thoughts on the past as Sarah entered the room carrying two soda cans and a box of pepperoni pizza from Pizza Hut.
“It’s party time!” said Sarah with a giggle of excitement, as she and Shophin dug into the large pizza and opened their sodas. Shophin raised her soda can in a sloppy solute saying,
“Here’s to a good year, of fun, fantasy, and friends...and I pray to God college is even better!!”
“Here here!!” said Sarah as she clunked her can to Shophin’s and took a swig. At first they sat in companionable silence, enjoying their pizza, and then as they slowed down between slices, Shophin looked at her friend and said,
“Sarah?”
“Hmmm...?” Sarah’s mouth was full at the moment, but she looked to her friend and nodded for her to go on. Shophin smiled at Sarah’s face as she tried to get all the cheese to stay on her next slice as she bit down, but Shophin shook her head and said,
“Could you tell me about Jareth again?” Sarah sighed saying, slightly muffled by the pizza,
“You’f heard if a fousand fimes!” Shophin laughed at her friends sloppy words around the food in her mouth, and said,
“I know, I know, but after tonight we’ll be going on vacation, and then to different colleges, so you’ll have all the time in the world to have new adventures to tell me about when we see each other for holidays and such.” Sarah looked at her with an unbelieving smile, as Shophin put on her best pout saying,
“Please....!?”
Sarah swallowed a laugh as well as a mouthful of pizza and said,
“Alright alright, I’ll tell you.” Shophin opened another soda, and made herself comfortable on Sarah’s bed, laying on her belly facing her friend, who sat on the floor on the left side of the bed. Taking another drink of her own soda, Sarah then cleared her throat, and began.
“Well, Jareth was...a very flashy and flamboyant man. His hair is blond and wildly cut falling around his face and shoulders in a look that seems almost spiky and sharp, but it’s quite soft I’m sure. He’s a slender man, but even though he’s lean you can tell that he’s strong, both in body and will. And the clothes he wears....*giggle*...oh he would make some of the rock stars from the late 70’s and mid 80’s green with envy.” Shophin nearly purred at the images Sarah put in her head of this man as she went on to describe some of the different things he wore, how he kept offering her dreams and wishes galore as she tried to solve the Labyrinth. It finally got to the point where Sarah began to express what she felt for Jareth, now that she was older.
“I guess, at most I feel a sense of friendly love for him, maybe even as a sister, but I’m not in love with him. That probably hurts him most of all, that I can’t love him the way he loves me, though with Jareth it’s hard to tell what love is. But then again, he was acting the way I wanted him too.” Shophin tilted her head to the side in confusion, saying,
“What do ya mean, how you wanted him too?” Sarah sighed and explained how Jareth had tried to please her from the start by behaving the way she had thought the King of Goblins would.
“He said that he had done everything I had expected of him. When I thought of him being scary, he was, when I thought of him cheating, he would, and when I thought he would turn the world upside down, he did, and he did it all for me. He even admitted to being exhausted living up to my expectations. So in all honesty, I have no idea what his concept of love really is.”
Sighing Shophin thought this through and said,
“Then how do you know he’s flashy and flamboyant? It could have all just been a play for you, agin living up to what you expected.” Sarah smiled and said,
“Oh, even if he was hamming it up for me, I’m fairly certain that he’s arrogant, spoiled, and quite selfish. But, even after he went through all that trouble and in the end lost the game, he still allowed me access to my friends and the Underground. That shows me that, at the very least, he has the capacity to be kind and generous without expecting something in return. Though I’m sure he still hopes I will ask him to take me away one day.” The room fell silent for a moment and Shophin thought about everything Sarah had said about her time in the Labyrinth, and how she was to young to really understand what Jareth was offering her. That brought a thought to Shophin as she said,
“Sarah, if you were to go back to when you first entered the Labyrinth, knowing what you do now, what would you have done differently?” Sarah seemed to think for a moment, and said,
“I would have simply asked Jareth to give me Toby back.”
“But you said you had asked him and he said no.” countered Shophin as she reached for the last piece of pizza. Sarah smiled and shook her head, saying,
“That’s because I expected him to refuse me. Everything that happened in that place I hold partial, if not full, responsibility for, because Jareth was following what I believed in my heart and mind he would do. If anything I think I owe him an apology for all the trouble I caused him.” Shophin considered this and then nodded in understanding. Jareth was never really out to get Sarah because that was not his intent, he only followed what she had believed she had wanted him to do and be.
Having come to that conclusion and the pizza and soda now gone, the girls cleaned up and got ready for bed. After their teeth were brushed and the food had had time to settle for a bit, the girls lay down on the floor together. Each had a book in hand as they made themselves comfortable in the nest of pillows and blankets on the floor, and once they had settled in they read for about an hour before turning out the lights for the night. It was slightly stormy outside, the occasional flash of lightning brightened the room followed by the crackling boom of thunder that seemed to shake the whole house. Shophin lay awake thinking how Sarah had described a night very much like this one, when she had wished her brother away, and had come face to face with the Goblin King for the first time.
‘I wonder...’ Shophin thought to herself, as she watched the lightning flash again outside the window, ‘I wonder if I’ll ever meet him. Jareth, the King of the Goblins.’ The very thought of it sent a slight shiver down her spine as the thunder crashed and roared outside, and for a moment Shophin thought she saw the flutter of sandy feathered wings outside the window. But a second look proved there was nothing there.
‘Didn’t Sarah say Jareth could take on the form of a sandy colored owl?’ she thought, as she moved to the window for a closer look at the tree outside. Shophin searched the branches of the large oak next to Sarah’s bedroom window, but found neither beak or feather of an owl. Her hopes of seeing the King, even in his other form, deflated, Shophin headed back to bed completely unaware that she was being watched through Sarah’s vanity mirror. Jareth took in the sight Sarah’s new friend, and decided that she was simple, but had a quick mind about her, with an extra sense for the strange and unusual. This sense had served her when she had almost caught him staring in the window to check on Sarah. According to Hoggle, Sarah had visited the Underground very little this past year, and now the Goblin King could see why. This Shophin, was in many ways very much like Sarah, in her thoughts and interests, but she struck Jareth as someone who was very self conscious. Someone with low self esteem that could easily be brought down, but who worried about other’s well being before her own. Where Sarah had been very vocal about her discomfort or disagreement with certain things, Shophin seemed to be one to suffer in silence rather then trouble anyone with her problems. However, when it came to someone else’s problems or discomfort, she would be quick to listen and help in any way she could.
‘Not the best way to be when in the Underground. If a girl like came to Court, she wouldn’t last five minutes among the nobility.’ though why Jareth was even thinking about this was beyond him, he had no intentions of bringing such a person to the Underground. However, he watched her fall asleep, and noted how she curled in on herself, making her look even smaller and more fragile then before. She seemed almost childlike in her attempt to pull herself into a ball. Jareth could remember so many children he had taken into his care that did the same thing, either out of fear or cold. As he continued to watch he noted a slight shiver running through both girls, and placing a hand on the other side of the mirror allowing it to seep through to the other side. Jareth noted the coolness of the room, and scoffed thinking,
‘Do human’s have no comprehension on how to fix a thermostat?’ Pulling his hand back through the mirror, Jareth summoned his strength, and in seconds a crystal ball appeared in his hand. A slight orange glow was the only indication this crystal held a great deal of heat, and Jareth gently pushed it through the mirror to float around the room letting the heat seep out and fill the room with warmth. It took a few minutes, but soon both girls stopped shivering, and Shophin uncurled herself slightly into a more comfortable looking position. Jareth smiled at this and faded from the mirror after one final look at Sarah as she slept, begging with his thoughts,
‘Come back to me Sarah, come back.’

Kk, could you point some of these things out, cause I haven't posted this yet, and I'd like to have it right the first time.

Chapter one, first second, "Shophin stared at her reflection in Sarah’s vanity, she had never considered herself a great beauty, but she thought of herself as fair. Her pale skin was soft, stretched over her voluptuous five foot figure."
Try saying, Shophin stared at her reflection in Sarah's vanity; she had never . . ." You had a run-on sentence there.
‘Do human’s have no comprehension on how to fix a thermostat?’ Say humans. You're talking about more than one, and there's no possession needed.
‘Come back to me Sarah, come back.’ Say instead, 'Come back to me, Sarah. Come back.'
That's really the only problems I've seen thus far. It's hard to edit in this format, but I'd say got the most of it (which wasn't many at all).
Hope this helps
