Magic Dance (Jareth) Prologue

*Six Months Later*

Mariah and Tonya came, laughing, down the street. Tonya on her bike, Mariah on her skateboard, when they noticed a couple figures up ahead. They came to a stop.
"Lets go check it out?" Tonya asked.
Mariah nodded.
As they got closer to the figures, they noticed that they were also laughing. But as they came within ten feet of them, Mariah started to shrink back, horrified. They were two boys, both with beer in hand. One was slightly taller than the other, with short brown hair, in an opened button-up shirt and black jeans. The other was shorter, and was wearing a black shirt with matching slacks and shoes...

Charlie and Jake.

They looked towards us. "Well well..."
Charlie smirked. "Hey Jake, aren't these the girls that, uh, got us jailed?" He slurred.
"I think so, Charlie." Jake said with an identical smirk. "What'd ya think we should do with them?"
"Hmm..." Charlie pretended to think. "Let 'em go with a warning?"
They looked at each other then said at the same time, "Nah."
"I'll take down Crepsley, you take O'Neil." Charlie said, and they lunged at us.
Charlie easily knockedMariah down to the ground, pinning her down with his knees. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a tin canister. He poured all the contents on her, which smelled like alcohol.She choked, refusing to drink the vile-tasting stuff. While he threw the can,she managed to get a look at Tonya. She too, was wrestling with Jake, but, unlike Mariah, she was fighting back pretty good.
In the mean time, Charlie got off her, and Jake did the same to Tonya.They looked at each other. Tonya wasn't too badly scratched up, and, suprisingly, neither was I.
Jake smirked, pulling out a book.
He read from it. "I wish the goblins would come and take Crepsley away. Right now."
