Chapter 18: Seeing Ghosts
The ballroom was decorated in powder blue, the streamers all over hung from ceilings and walls. Everyone dressed in fancy gowns and suits and jewelry. Long tables filled with food and drinks, Soft music playing in the background. Jareth, Sarah, Desiree and little Jareth arrived last. Arlene walked up to them. "There's my grandson" Arlene cooed Sarah gently gave him to her. Arlene held him and started talking baby talk to him. Desiree laughed. Arlene stopped and looked at her "what?" "You sound funny" she told her grandmother "I did the same thing with you and your father" she told her "Now that everyone is embarrassed let's greet people" Jareth said taking Sarah's hand and walking deep into the room "Awe…Jareth did mommy embarrass you" Sarah said in a baby voice Jareth growled at her Sarah giggled. Desiree and Arlene laughed behind them, Little Jareth asleep in his grandmothers arms. Jareth walked Sarah to the dance floor they started dancing. Than Jareth nodded his head to the band playing instruments and the music started the music from there time in the ballroom, no words just music. Sarah smiled at Jareth than started to hug him tight on the dance floor. Arlene and Desiree watching outside the dance floor. "Your father really loves her" Arlene told her granddaughter "Yes he does" she told her "I must say he loves her more than your mother" Arlene said to her Desiree turned her head to look at her "really?" she asked than looked back at her father and Sarah dancing while they are hugging with smiles on their faces. "Yes he never acted that way with your mother" she told her Desiree smiled happily. Jackal walked over to Desiree "would you like to dance?" he asked while he held his hand out to her Desiree looked at Jackal than at her grandmother who smiled and nodded her head. "Yes" Desiree said shyly her cheeks getting red. She took his hand and he led her to the dance floor. Sarah let go of Jareth, he looked at her startled "Sarah are you okay?" "I'm fine just thirsty" Sarah told him "I'll get you a drink" Jareth told her "I'll check on Jareth" she told him He walked to the food table and Sarah walked over to Arlene. "Are you okay dear?" Arlene asked concerned "I'm fine, just as long as I don't move around too much" Sarah told her "Still a little sore?" Arlene asked "A little" Sarah said as she looked at her son in Arlene's arms sleeping looking very peaceful "are you okay with him?" Sarah asked "I'm fine dear, go have fun with your husband" Arlene said "Okay, if you're sure" Sarah said "I'm fine" Arlene said smiling Sarah left Arlene and started looking around for Jareth. Jareth poured himself some wine and Sarah some fruit juice; since she was nursing and just had a baby he didn't think that wine would be good for her. He turned around and started to look for Sarah he looked straight ahead and saw a woman he recognized the glasses slipped out of his hands and crashing down to the ground breaking. He whispered a name "Marissa" and started heading through the crowds to find her Sarah got to the table looking for Jareth, she stepped on something that cracked, and she looked down seeing broken glass. She started to look around, she didn't see anyone around. Jareth came up to the woman wearing a dark blue gown that went off the shoulders, her golden hair in a bun her back faced to Jareth. "Marissa" he growled lowly "Damn" the woman whispered at turned around "I thought you died?" Jareth stated "Of course not, I just needed away to escape" Marissa told him "Escape why?"Jareth asked "Let's face it we both didn't love each other, I was doing you a favor, if I didn't marry you. You would've married that witch, and I gave you a child so you could have an heir" she told him "Then why fake your death?" he asked not understanding "If I was dead than they wouldn't force you to get married, until you were over it, and look you are, you got married to Sarah" Marissa told him "You heard about that?" he asked her "Everyone heard of it Jareth, you falling in love with the only girl to ever defeat you and steal your heart in the process, people laugh make jokes, other worry if she is good for you, others worry about their kingdoms" Marissa told him Jareth was starting to get mad "and what do you think?" he growled than closed his eyes and took a deep breath and calmed down "I think she is good for you and truly loves you, more than I ever could, since I was having an affair while married to, well actually before" she told him Jareth again looked angry "you made a fool out of me" "Well no one knew except for your best friend" Marissa told him smiling "Redmond" he growled "No, your other best friend, the one that avoids you" she told him Jareth thought for a moment "Tristan?" "Yes him, we are married now, I am queen to the crystal kingdom, and we have four gorgeous children two boys and two girls" she told him smiling "What about Desiree?" Jareth asked Marissa thought for a moment "she is my past like you are, I am moving forward to the future" "Don't you think that you should get to know her, be her mother?" Jareth replied "I am not her mother, I haven't been for 16 years, she has Sarah now, and she doesn't need me" she told him "You are her mother" Jareth told her his voice getting loud "I just gave birth to her nothing more" Marissa told him getting agitated Desiree walked over to her father "Papa" she said than looked at the woman "mother, your alive" she said shocked "Desiree, yes I am your mother" Marissa told him "I have so much to tell you" she gushed than she looked at Marissa "how are you still alive?" "I faked my death with the help of my healer Loraine" Marissa told them "Where is Loraine now" Jareth growled at her "She still works for me" Marissa told him "I am so glad you're alive" Desiree went up to her smiling ready to hug her, Marissa moved back shaking her head "Mama" Desiree said sadly and confused "no my child, I am not your mother I am just the woman that gave birth to you, like I was telling your father you are my past and that part of my life is closed. I have a new life now, a new husband who I love and have always loved, and new children they are my now and future I'm sorry" Marisa told her "I was told you and my father were in love" Desiree told her "You were misinformed, we were just friends, and I married your father to save him from marrying the witch, while I was in love with someone else" Marissa said "Why would my grandmother tell me that" Desiree wondered confused Jareth put his hands on Desiree's shoulders "your grandmother wanted you to think you came from a loving home" "But you were upset over mother's death "Desiree said to him looking him in the eyes "Like Marissa said she was my friend nothing more" Jareth told her "Is everything okay honey" they heard a male voice ask from behind them Jareth, Marissa and Desiree looked at the voice; they saw a tall guy with long sandy blonde hair pulled back into a pony tail neatly, and had the brightest blue they have ever seen. "Tristan" Jareth growled "Jareth" Tristan replied casually than he looked at Desiree "so this is Desiree" Jareth put his arm around his daughter as if protecting her from him "She's beautiful my dear" Tristan told her smiling "Thank you" Marissa said blushing "Jareth there you are" a female voice said from behind them They all looked at the female behind them; Jareth grabbed her hand and pulled her gently to stand next to him. "Sarah my love this is Marissa and her husband Tristan" Jareth told her Sarah looked at them, than looked longer at Marissa in shock "your dead" "That was everyone's first reaction, believe me child I am very much alive" Marissa told her smiling Sarah looked from Jareth to Marissa and started to get jealous, thinking Jareth was going to leave her now that Marissa is alive even if she is married. Marissa looked at her "I know what you're thinking honey, and don't worry I would never go back with Jareth, or him with me, we never loved each other" Sarah looked confused "but you have a child together" "I only gave him a child because I never thought he would get married again, and he needed an heir, but I was thinking of Tristan the whole time" Marissa said smiling really big at Jareth Jareth growled at her "Oh Jareth don't growl at me, I am sure you were thinking of other woman too." she said to him with laughter in her voice "Maybe, not sure that was a long time ago" he told her "It's good your alive, you can get to know Desiree, she's a lovely girl" Sarah told Marissa "Like I told Jareth and Desiree, she will not be a part of my life, that part of my life is closed, I have a new life now that I love" Marissa told her Desiree started to cry and run away, Jareth called after her, Sarah watched this and turned to Marissa "You bitch" she growled at her Marissa smiled at her, Sarah ran to catch up to Desiree Jareth walked quickly after Desiree and Sarah. Arlene watched the whole thing confused all she saw was Desiree running and crying, and Sarah and Jareth going after her and both Sarah and Jareth looking worried and angry. She followed them. Marissa stood there with Tristan watching he put his arms around her waist squeezing her to him. He looked at her face she was showing no emotions. "Are you okay?" he asked concerned "I'm fine" she told him Sarah found Desiree sitting on a bench in the garden crying. "Desiree" Sarah said as she approached her Desiree looked up and wiped her tears off her cheeks "hi" she said as she sniffled Sarah sat down next to her "I'm sorry about your mom" "I guess she's right, she never loved me, I just pictured it differently if I had a mother, she would love me and want to do mother and daughter stuff with me" Desiree told Sarah "I understand my mom basically did the same thing to me, she ran off to become an actress, she succeeded she met her now husband Jeremy, and I never heard from her again. Well for a couple of years I did, to wish me a merry Christmas or a happy birthday. After that nothing" Sarah told her "I guess we really are alike" Desiree said and smiled at Sarah Sarah smiled back "So have you seen your mother after that?" Desiree asked "When I graduated high school, my mom was there with Jeremy, she bought me that expensive car I used to drive, and that was the last time I saw her or heard from her" Sarah said "So she doesn't know about you getting married or having a child?" Desiree asked "Nope, not sure she would care anyway, since she is probably busy with her new kids too" Sarah told her "She has kids?" Desiree asked "last I heard, she was pregnant when she came to my graduation, pretty much bragging how she was going to be a good mother and Jeremy was going to be a good father" Sarah told her "I'm sorry, I guess we both have terrible mothers" Desiree said "Yeah" Sarah said Jareth and Arlene watching Sarah and Desiree talking "What happened my son, why is Desiree so upset?" Arlene asked "Marissa is alive" Jareth told her "How do you feel about that?" Arlene asked "I did find out I loved her when I thought she died, those feelings were gone but I don't know seeing her today, I got confused" he told his mother "What about Sarah?" Arlene asked worried Jareth looked at Sarah and smiled "I am in love with Sarah nothing is going to change that" Desiree and Sarah stood up and hugged than walked over to Arlene and Jareth and walked back into the ballroom.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
