Was there no way to get her out? He had promised her a way out, and he didn’t want to let her down. To top it off, he just didn’t want to let her ...o. They were meant to be together, and he knew she felt it too. How was he going to convince Jareth to let her go if that was really his mindset? Shy had come to the conclusion as to why He was with her. He liked the power He had over her. He enjoyed her pain and her fear. What would happen if she stood up to Him? He would beat her to a bloody pulp.. I was worried that she needed someone more assertive, 'Well yes I am, but I can be more physical if you want me to'. She said she loved me being gentle as most men had been too rough with her, I told her that most women where not even as gentle as her and I loved her touch and wanted to make love to her slowly and completely. She drank up and said, 'Well we had better get started then hadn't we?' and stood up with her hands on her sexy hips. We got a taxi to my place and I put the kettle on and. She needs some positive things coming her way, with all the crap she’s been through. But for god’s sake, don’t tell me that you like her. Tell her!’ Why hadn’t I already? Same old tongue-tied-disease as always, I guess. The concrete in my legs and the local tranquilizer shot to my tongue every time the opportunity and occasion rose to say those words. Words that I had roaring inside of me, words that could cut granite and part oceans. Well, that was then, and this was now. And this time I knew. She felt a sharp pain in her lower back and a dry taste in her mouth as if something had burned close by. The smell of exhaust and gasoline hung in the air as did that of burnt ozone.The pain turned out to be a foot on which she was lying, and finally bringing her eyesight into focus Erin wished she could have just slept a little longer. The scene that slowly swam into view was from another world. The mossy cave was still there, as were the horses and their knights, although none of them were.
