Jareth closed his eyes tight, hoping to block out Astrid's screams. Seconds later she stopped shouting, her eyes were wide open as she gazed at the vast sky.
With each passing second, her heart thudded in her chest. She had never experienced flying before, she didn't expected White-Fire to do that all of a sudden.
She was still breathing hard and fast, panting like someone who ran a marathon. Jareth opened his eyes and smiled, he couldn't believe his eyes, she was scared out of her wit just now.
He decided to tease her a bit and bit down on her ear lightly. She jerked in fear and almost dropped the little white tiger-pheonix beast.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy there" he chuckled.
"Not funny Jareth, not funny" she complained.
"I'm sorry."
