Chapter 12.
Jareth and Sarah awoke early to the alarm on Jareth's bedside clock.
"Blasted thing." Jareth said, reaching over Sarah and turning it off.
Sarah, just waking up, was startled having her face suddenly pressed into her bed mate's chest.
"Hey..trying to wake up here." She mumbled into him.
Jareth chuckled as he pulled back. "Sorry love. That noise is grating and I could not stand it any longer." Noisy human contraption, he thought.
Sarah sat up and looked at him. "How do you look so good at..." She looked at the clock. "7am? Eesh." She smoothed down her hair and yawned. "I need coffee...and a shower."
Jareth got out of bed and padded into the bathroom, took care of personal needs, then started the shower and got some fresh towels set out.
Sarah watched him cross the room and into the next, He strode unapologetically naked and gorgeous. She heard the water start and he came back out and towards her.
"Shall we then?"
She blushed. "Umm..okay, but can I have a moment alone in the bathroom please? I'm not really ready for you to see me use the facilities yet." She climbed out of bed and dashed past him to the bathroom.
She could hear him laughing in the next room. "So shy, my Sarah? Really, it's nothing that would shock me. It's a perfectly natural function all living beings do."
Once she was finished she peeked around the corner at him. He had gathered robes for them to use post shower and was waiting for the all clear.
"Well, maybe you are okay with it, but let me just say I really have no desire to watch you pee either, before we even go there." She said dryly.
He grinned at her as he entered the room and walked by her, laying their robes down on a cabinet.
"Curses. I was hoping you would like to hold it." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Umm..well, I rather enjoy holding it, but not for that purpose. If we start that, it will probably lead to other things. Most especially being very late getting started."
He gave her a smarmy look, eyeing her body. "We could be a little late. They won't leave without me."
Sarah rolled her eyes and turned him around directing him towards the shower. "In, Jareth. Now. We both need it." She pushed him ahead of her, then stepped in herself.
Suddenly she found herself yanked to his warm body and looking into his eyes. "First, I feel the need for a proper good morning."
He kissed her deeply and long, making her knees give way a little. When he pulled back her eyes were glazed over.
"Good morning, Sarah." He said. holding her up.
Sarah came out of her daze and blinked. "Wow. Good morning."
He laughed again, and handed her the a sponge. "Wash my back, would you dear."
She sighed and rolled her eyes again, and took the items from him.
Once they had showered, dressed, and had eaten the light breakfast that had been prepared, there were people scurrying about packing things and getting them into trucks for their drive.
Sarah gathered her belongings and followed Jareth to the lobby. All she had was her carry on and her rolling case, so she would be able to fit the case in the trunk and took the bag with her.
Hoggle did a double take when he saw Sarah, and poked Didymus and motioned for him to look.
They could clearly see what other would not notice. Sarah was a changeling, and would soon be an immortal. Jareth noticed them staring, and motioned for Sarah to go ahead while he walked over to them.
"You two. Quit gaping at Sarah. Do you want her to wonder what it is you are staring at?" He said quietly.
"Yer MAjesty..I'm sorry. It's just..it's happenin' fast." hoggle bowed his head as he spoke. He motioned for them to follow him to a corner far away from the others.
"Yes I am aware. I'm not one to reveal such intimacies normally..but..she has marked me." He showed them the scar on his neck. "She of course does not have any idea what this means. She drew blood as well. I had no choice but to reciprocate or she would suffer. I plan on revealing everything to her this evening."
"Before she gets her memories back, Sire?" Didymus asked.
"I have to. To keep it from her would be a dishonor to a Queen of the Underground. *My* queen. She deserves to know her place. She is my wife. It is my responsibility to show her respect above all."
"But..Sire..what will happen to us? Will we go home?" Didymus was greatly worried.
Jareth smirked at them. "We are going home, no matter what. The Council has no right to govern myself or my kingdom. Their ruling was arbitrary and foolish based on one side of the entire situation. They are playing a game and the forget one thing. I am the master of games, and have only been beaten once. By her. She is the only Champion, and she is on my side. Or she will be, if everything goes well."
The Hoggle and Didymus nodded, but as their sovereign walked away, they looked at each other, both very concerned about the whole situation. Ludo was lucky, his simple way of thinking usually kept him from worrying to much.
Everyone loaded into their vehicles and they were off. They were headed to Birmingham, a large city a little over 2 hours from London.
Jareth had arranged for Sarah and himself to have their own car. He wanted to enjoy some peace and quiet with her. They watched the scenery go by, pointing out this and that along the way to each other.
Sarah was so comfortable in Jareth's arms she ended up falling asleep after a while, and Jareth just held her close to him, as both countryside and urban areas flew by, he stared unseeing at all of it. The only thing he was concerned with was there in his grip, and the closer they got to the next stop, the worse the fear grew of what the consequences would be of that night.
They arrived at the next hotel in the late morning. It was near the airport there and quite nice.
The rooms were spacious, and Sarah noticed they had a suite with two bedrooms this time.
She looked at Jareth questioningly. "You don't want to share?" She asked.
Jareth had been setting some things down and had not noticed she had walked through the bathroom into another bedroom.
He went to her and hugged her. "Of course I do, love. This was just their nicest room, and it happened to come with an extra bedroom." He knew beforehand, but kept that part to himself. He thought if she did get upset with him, at least she could have a room of her own but still near to him so he wouldn't have to worry.
They settled in and put things away, Jareth was a bit tired so he took a nap, and Sarah went to meet with Hoggleston and Didymus. Jareth had relented and she didn't want to pass up a chance to meet with the two alone. He had forewarned them one last time to be as vague and unforthcoming as possible for now.
Sarah met the two at the hotel restaurant, and they ordered some food and talked. She asked all the questions she had wanted to ask, but was a bit frustrated as they didn't seem to know a lot about his past. Or at least they claimed they didn't.
She noticed several times they would glance at each other and act like their knew more than they said. She let out an exasperated sigh and kept trying.
Jareth woke up and was waiting for his tea and a light lunch for himself to arrive, when He was informed Roxanna wanted to speak with him. He waved her in, albeit hesitantly. He did not like how cagey she had been behaving.
"Good afternoon Your MAjesty." She bowed.
He eyed her skeptically. She was dressed in a simple red sheath, hair pulled back..forher very plain.
"Yes, LAdy Roxanna..what is it." He snapped.
"I just want to apologize.." She started. There was another knock. It was Chef Jerry with his tea and food.
He gestured for her to sit. They both waited until the chef was done setting out everything and had left, Jareth smiling and thanking him.
"Would you like some tea, Roxanna?" He said politely. She nodded, jumping up. "Yes, thank you. please let me serve you, my Lord."
He acquiesced, giving her a small she brushed by him she knocked his napkin and silverware off the table. "Oh I'm sorry!"
Jareth shook his head and picked it up as she prepared the tea. She sat it in front of him. and went and sat back down.
"You were saying?" He enquired.
"I wanted to apologize for my behavior as of late. I just...well, I've been missing home so very much. My daughter, my whole family really. It's been very stressful." She lowered her head as he sipped his tea.
"Understandable. I suppose. I miss mine too, at times. You are forgiven, Roxy. I would appreciate if you reached out to Sarah. She seems to think you do not like her, and it a bit insecure about her place here in your presence. I have told her several times I have no romantic leanings towards you, but it would be good for you reiterate that point."
She looked up and met his eyes, tears running down her face. "I have to apologize for something else too. I hope someday you can understand, and forgive me. I need to go home, Jareth. I can't survive her much longer."
He was puzzled. THen suddenly the room began to spin and he slipped onto the floor, unable to keep his balance.
He looked up, his eyes swimming, but managed a glare. "What did you do? Roxanna?!" He said gasping as his vision started fading.
""It's darkroot, Jareth. I want you to know this. You will be fine, but unconscious. They wanted me to kill you..but I couldn't. I do care for you too much for that. Please..forgive me."
Jareth looked up at her as she stood over him. "Never...you will pay..." Then his body convulsed, and he passed out.
Roxy let out the breath she had been holding, and took the crystal out of her pocket. "Come now, I need your help. He is out."
Appearing next to her were two men, one short and rotund, and one a little taller, and scrawny.
"Good very good. Lady Roxanna." Lord Brayson smiled. She observed his smile was rather like a snake. Appropriate.
They moved him to the bedroom and laid him on the bed, and the taller man undressed him. Roxy could not bring herself to disrespect him that much. He pulled the blanket over his bottom half at her insistence.
""Now, Roxanna, I am relying on your skills as an actress, to chase the mortal away. If we can keep them apart long enough, no further action will be necessary." He grabbed her arm an reminded her. "If this fails, you too will be stuck here."
She pulled herself out of his grasp. "I know that. You promised me I could go home if she leaves. You better not go back on your word. I will tell him everything."
He shoved her against the wall and the other man helped hold her there. "You are fool if you do. He will kill you. He will cut you apart, slowly, with a cold iron sword, so you suffer. Then when you are at death's door but still alive, he with burn you to a crisp as you scream until you finally succomb to the pain and poison. The Goblin King is not known for mercy to his enemies and betrayers, woman."
His snake's grin widened. "If this woman is is true mate, his anger will be a thousand fold stronger than if you had merely attempted to assassinate him. you can count on it."
They let her go. "Do as I you are told. girl." He waved to the man behind him, and they disappeared.
She sat on the bed next to the prone body of the king.
Sighing, she wiped her tears away, and stood, removing her clothes. She laid down next to him but tried not to touch him. She turned and faced the door and waited, her heart heavy.
She rocked herself a little to soothe her frayed nerves. Looking at Jareth, she spoke hoping somehow he would hear. "I'm so sorry Jareth. I know what it's like to lose the one you love. My daughter is all have left to live for. He wouldn't let me go home unless I did this. I pray to the gods, somehow you will find her again. Trust me, if she remains mortal, you don't want to be immortal here anyway. At least you can die with her."
She thought of her mortal husband and spoke to him too. "Please forgive me my love. if you see what I am doing."
She sniffed back her tears, and waited for Sarah to come back.
Sarah was on her way, and Hoggle decided to accompany her. He neededto speak with Jareth about something anyway so he figured they could go together. Besides, he liked being around Sarah, she was his best friend, even if she didn't remember.
Sarah and Hoggle approached the doors, and the guard smiled and opened it. "He has company though, Roxy. She's been in there a while." the man said.
Sarah rolled her eyes. "No problem. She is probably trying to cajole something out of him."
They went in but heard no noise. Sarah found that odd, the door to the bedroom was ajar though.
She went through the door and.. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"
There laying across the bed, and next to Jareth's obviously naked form, was Roxy. also naked.
Hoggle ran in behind her, gasped, and shielded his eyes.
Roxy quickly got up and gathered her dress up to her chest. "Oops.. Umm..sorry, we thought you would be gone a little longer." She said, smirking at the dark haired woman standing in the doorway.
Jareth started stirring on the bed, Sarah's scream, and her distress which e felt, waking him.
He tied pushing himself up but the pain in his head made him dizzy and he collapsed back onto the bed, moaning.
Sarah just stared, her heart breaking into tiny pieces, as her anger began feeding on itself. It rose higher until it was ready to burst out of her.
Hoggle finally spoke. "Sarah, maybe you should..."
She turned to the short man behind. "Maybe I should what? Leave? Why? I've already seen everything!" He saw the fire in her eyes, and felt something more. Now that she was changeling, she would have access to magic. Moreover, she had access to the same magic Jareth had. He could see how powerful it was now.
"No, Sarah, I knows yer mad, but we needs to figure out what.." She just glared at him and turned away.
The blonde had slid into her dress, and was watching her, a smug look on her face.
"Sarah..." Jareth moaned from the bed, still trying to sit up holding his head.. "What the...?" He noticed roxy standing there."You...what have you done?" He hissed at her.
"Well damn, Jareth, you think you would remember banging her in the bed we've been sharing..or are there so many they all just seem the same?" Sarah said, venom dripping from her words.
Roxy tried moving towards the door, but found herself face to face with the irate woman. She could now see why the dwarf had been so nervous. Changeling's had limited control over their power, and Sarah's anger was fueling it.
Sarah grabbed the woman by the throat and pushed her to the ground.
Squeezing the blonde's throat, she watched coldly as her eyes begin to bug out as her air was slowly cut off.
Roxy had not expected this turn of events. She gaped at the woman standing over her. She could now seethe mark flaring to life on the woman's throat. The mate bond had already been completed.
Hoggle tugged at Sarah, but was now way equipped to stop her. "Sarah..you gots to stop. Sarah please, you will kill her."
Sarah saw nothing but red. She wanted to rip Roxy's head from her shoulders. They woman dared to try and take Jareth from her, a crime punishable by death. She squeezed tighter..the woman gagged, and swooned from lack of air, beginning to lose consciousness.
Something hard and quick knocked her almost off her feet, forcing her to let the blonde go.
Jareth. "Sarah, please, calm down, this isn't what it was made to look like, I swear it.. I would never..." He exclaimed as he held her back.
Sarah turned and stuck him, hard. His ears rung. She was much stronger than he had realized.
The pain in his head worsened.
"How DARE you!" I gave you everything! You promised me! Only me! You will only see me! You want no one else!" Remember?! LET ME GO!"
She wrenched away from him, and turned, grabbing her bag and sweeping her belongings sitting on the dresser into it.
Jareth made to grab her again, but she was far too quick. The pain and dizziness made him lose his balance and he fell against the dresser, tripping over the sheet he had wrapped around him.
Hoggle was torn. On one hand he was obligated to go to his king, but his heart could seethe pain and anger of his friend, and ached for her.
Sarah dashed out the door. Jareth ended Hoggle's conflict by screaming "Go after her Hogwart! Bring her back!"
Hoggle was only seconds behind her, but she was fast. She beat him to the elevator, it closed just as he rounded the corner. He slammed into the doors. "Sarah! come back!" He cried, sliding to the floor.
Roxy was barely conscious on the floor. Jareth was dressed with a thought and stepped to where she laid, then crouched next to her as she gagged and breathed.
He pulled her face to his. holding her by her jaw, and not gently at all.
She opened her eyes and met his. She could see it. The look she knew he must have given every enemy that that he had vanquished, right before he killed them. calm, cold, deadly. He spoke low, and slowly, he was talking right next to her ear.
"Lady Roxanna, it seems you have no desire to live any longer. Shall I help you along, or will you tell me why it is, you have just done what it is you have done? Not that it is likely I will let you live, either way, you understand, but the amount of suffering you experience will depend highly, on what you say to me now."
Roxy panted, trying to catch her breath enough to speak. "Why...' She croaked, her throat aching. "Why didnt you let her kill me then."
He picked her up and sat her on the chair. Then leaned over her. This was not Jareth King, performer. This was the face of The Goblin King. He looked right into her eyes, so she would see him. "It was my wish the Sarah not have to live with the consequences of taking your life. I pray she never has to do such a thing. Myself, however, having done so on occasion, when betrayed by such a loathsome creature as yourself, will sleep soundly at night knowing you are no longer among my enemies, and that I was the one who made sure that is the case."
Roxy nodded. "It was Lord Brayson, and his nephew. they wanted me to keep you two apart long enough to so your time would run out. Then he would rescind my banishment, and I could go home."
Jareth said nothing. but his mouth tightened. He Truly Wanted to blast the woman into oblivion.
Despite the fact it made the pain flare, he conjured a crystal and summoned Derryn and Weyliss.
They appeared a few feet away.
"Your Majesty." They both bowed, then were a bit startled at the scene before them.
Jareth snarled tightly at the woman. "Well, LAdy Roxanna, you wish comes true, back to the underground you go, cloaked and bound so no one will know you are there. Derryn take her to the castle and lock her way. You know what to do. I will be there in short order, either way. Weyliss, bring me silver thistle. She dosed me with blackroot and I need to take it soon, or I may be unable to restore myself to full strength.
Both made a move to return to the underground but before they could, Jareth stopped them.
"Wait." He commanded. He walked over and once again too hold of the blonde woman. "Woman you better hope I retrieve my wife, or your suffering will like nothing you can possibly imagine."
Roxy gulped and looked down at the floor.
"Wife, Your Majesty?" Derryn asked. "You are married?"
Jareth moved his hair to show him the mark. "She has the same. She marked me first as well. So she is changing as we speak. I fear she is in grave danger since she has no knowledge of her state."
Derryn and Weyliss exchanged glances. Such a thing was terribly rare. THey would do what was necessary. That made her their de facto queen and therefore they had an obligation to her.
Jareth, had little chance of findering her until Weyliss got back with the herbs needed to get him back to full strength, so he had little choice but to hope the dwarf located her and convinced her to return in the next few hours.
_
Sarah had left the hotel more pissedthan she had even been. She stomped down street after street, in an irate haze. Turning a corner she caught the attention of a group of men looking for an easy score.
"Hey there miss, you got the time?" One asked, stepping on front of oily smile making her shudder.
"No. Please, leave me alone." She said, clenching her jaw to keep her teeth from chattering. It was also getting rather cold.
The man went to put his arm around her, thinking she was an unknowing tourist.
Something in Sarah snapped. She grabbed the man's arm and bent it almost to the breaking point. Easily."I said, please leave me alone." Fire almost shot out of her eyes.
The man fell to his knees. She let him go. "Hey no problem, love. Just asking."
She backed away and turned, then took off at a run. She didn't stop until she was several blocks away.
She turned another corner and leaned against a wall, hot tears streaming down her face, and completely confused and what was happening to her.
Finally she calmed down a bit and saw a small tavern nearby, and went in.
A few barflies were sitting around, drinking their troubles away. The light was fading outside.
She was angry, cold, tired. "Something strong, please." She said as she sat at the bar.
The old woman behind the bar nodded. "Whisky then?"
"Fine." Sarah answered. Trying not to take out her anger on the unsuspecting woman.
The woman set a shot in front of her, which she downed. A warm sensation filled her belly, and she ordered another. "Leave the bottle." She said, laying down enough money for whatever was left in it and then some.
Sarah took several more shots of whisky, a little tipsy but nowhere near as drunk as she should have been. "Is there a place to stay close by? Just a cheap little motel?"
The woman nodded. "I got a few rooms upstairs, I rent out. Nothin' fancy, now, just a bed and a loo, but they're clean."
Sarah sighed with relief. "I'll take it. I don't care what the price is. I just cant go back to where I came from. Not tonight."
The woman called to them an wandering around collecting glasses and cleaning tables, probably her husband. "Ben, going to take the lass up to a room, be back in a few."
The man, Ben, nodded.
Sarah followed her up the stairs and into a room. SHe wasn't lying, a small bed, table with a lamp, and a small tv on a stand was all that was there, with a very small bathroom tucked into the corner.
Sarah handed her whatever cash she had on hand, realizing she needed to go to the exchange again. "If you need more let me know, unless you take credit."
"It's more than enough, Miss. I'll bring you your change. Would you like me to bring you up a sandwich and some soup? Nothin' fancy either, but I'll be making some for Ben and me, I can make another plate. Name is Della, by the way."
Sarah nodded. "Thanks." The woman nodded and left.
Sarah sat down on the bed and breathed deeply, then let it out. She still had the bottle in her hand, not much left, but enough for a few swallows. She took a sip then put the bottle on the table.
A few minutes later there was a knock, It was Della, with a cheese sandwich, a bowl of chicken soup and a bottled water on a tray. She came in a set it on the table. "Are you okay?" She asked, a concerned looked on her face.
"I'm okay, just pissed off at someone. I just need to get a good nights sleep. I'll deal with it in the morning. Thanks, Della. I appreciate it." She gave the woman a halfhearted smile.
"Must be a man. Yep. They can drive you crazy, I know that. Eat up, and just leave your tray outside the door. Get some rest." The woman smiled sympathetically at her, and quietly left her to her evening.
Sarah really didn't feel like eating, but knew she should get some food in her with all the alcohol she drank. The soup was hot, and the sandwich tasty, obviously homemade bread. So she ate as much as she could manage and sat the tray outside the door, then closed and locked it.
She stripped off her jacked and boots, and laid on the bed. Replaying everything that had happened. Seeing Roxy's nude form had stirred up something she had no idea existed in her. More than the pain, even the understandable anger, it was her physical desire to take the woman's life that scared her.
Then she wanted to do the same to the man who had tried to accost her. It was frightening. Yes, her heart was broken, and she wanted to throttle Jareth, but what the hell? She would have probably killed the woman if Jareth han 't have stopped her.
Jareth...how could he?! He made her so many promises, whispering to her how much he wanted her, needed her, desired her more than anyone else. He said he didn't want anyone else. Obviously a lie to get into herp ants..but why say it? She did ask him to, or expect him to. She hadn't gone into situation presuming any kind of permanence.
The tears started flowing again, and she went to the window, opening it a little to get some air.
"God, Jareth..what have you done to me? Why even now, do I want nothing more than to crawl into bed beside you and have you hold me?" She whispered out loud. "Why am I so connected to you? I believed you when you told me all that stuff. I know better, but I believed you. Somehow, I really thought you meant everything."
She went to her bag, and found her spare t-shirt and panties she kept in her carry on, and her bag with her little travel size toiletries in it. Thank goodness she can take a shower.
Something fell out she didn't recognize, a small cloth bag. "Whats that?" She murmured.
She picked it up and opened it. inside was a ring. It looked familiar.
She turned on the the light and examined it. Inside was an inscription. One that she had to reread several times before she could comprehend it.
To Sarah, Happy Birthday, Love Mom.
"Where the crap did this come from?" She lost this ring ages ago. How did it get in her bag?
Her mother had given to her for her 15th birthday, and a few months later, it disappeared.
There was nothing in that bag or the bag itself that she had owned that long.
She was mystified. She replayed the events that led her here. She had the bag with her, then she had dropped it when she saw..what she had seen. Then she swept up her few possessions sitting on the dresser into her bag and left. But how in the hell...?
She shook her head. There had to be a reasonable explanation. Maybe it had been in a box of her things in her apartment, and got dropped into the bag when she was packing..that must have been it.
Sarah showered and changed, crawling into the small bed wearing a shirt and underwear. it was all she had. She couldn't sleep so she paced, stared out the window, and ended up dejectedly sitting on the bed, sipping at the whisky, hoping it would make her sleepy.
"Damn it..why do I feel this way? It was just a fling! Fuck! It's done, over with, so what! So the sex was good, so I cared about the guy and he fuking betrayed me..big deal. Not like I shouldn't have expected it. After all, look at his reputation. Messing with groupies is what he is known for."
She threw herself onto the bed. "But he said those things, and made me care, made me think he cared. I KNOW he cared, and damn it I know I care."
Face it Sarah, her concious said,You more than care. You are in love with the guy. Even now. You are desperately, completely, stupidly, in love with the guy. Tomorrow you need to go talk to him..maybe it wasn't what it looked like, maybe there was something else going on.
Sarah looked out the window again. "Crap. I'm such an idiot. I have to admit it. I have to say it. I love him. I really do..I don't know why, but I do. I'm am completely, totally in love with Jareth King, that arrogant , pompous, cheating asshole."
She picked up the ring her mother gave her, examining and playing with it. She slipped it onto her finger, and took a deep breath, and let it out slowly. "I just wish I knew why I am in love with him, and I wish I knew how he really felt."
THe magic holding her memories in place disintegrated.
Suddenly her world turned upside down, and she collapsed onto the floor.
Laying there, she was assaulted with memory after memory. Her mind was flooded overflowing with images, conversations, visions, sights, sounds, smells, everything at once.
I wish the goblins would take you away, right now.. "You're him, you're the Goblin King..You're no match for me Sarah..you have 13 hours...I'm Hoggle!..Don't go that way..I'm coming Toby...Which way will it be, up or down..How are you enjoying my Labyrinth..it's piece of cake...The way forward, is sometimes the way back, Ludo? Is that your name, Ludo?..I've never smelled anything like it...I Sir Didymus, yield to thee...Everything's dancing...I'll be there for you oo oo as the world fall down...It's all junk!...My lady, look we are almost there, the gates to The Goblin City...
Let;s get that rat that calls himself Jareth...Ludo call the rocks!..He must have gone that way..I must face him alone..because that is the way it is done.. should you need us..I'll call...How you turned my word you precious thing..you starve and near exhaust me..TOBY!...I, I can't live within you...Give me the child...I have been generous up til now, but I can be cruel..generous, what have you done that's generous?..Everything!...I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I'm exhausted living up to your expectations of me...Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here...Sarah...look what I am offering you!..Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave... You have no power over me!
Sarah gasped in a breath as she sat up..her heart pounding. It seemed like hours, but it had only been a few minutes. She was drenched in sweat and felt like she had run a marathon.
Looking down, she saw the ring laying glinting in the moonlight on her finger.. The ring her mother gave her for her 15 birthday. The ring she gave to the Wise Man. The ring Jareth must had possession of.
"It was real..oh crap it was real.. and Jareth is..oh God!"
What had she done?!
DUN DUN DUN! Yes, I did it. Maybe some of you saw it coming, and some didn't. All I can say is, I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, just having fun writing my story the only way I can.
My muse has been very generous lately, pushing through all my stuff going on and I've been writing away thanks to her. I am now writing Chapter 16(yes 13-15 are done, but unedited) so not sure how long this will be, 20 chapters maybe? I can't tell anymore haha. Trying to get it all out so I can start on the SS&IK sequel, In A Time of Winter, which looks to be a summer project. Now that's ironic isn't it ;) Also have a fun juicy one shot for the in between time.
