The party had ended and Sarah was cleaning up her room. All of a sudden she remembered. She jumped over her bed and over to her bookcase. She quickly searched the shelves until she found what she was looking for. She walked over to her mirror.
"Sir Didymus?" she whispered.
"Sir Didymus are you there?" Moments later a small figure appeared.
"My Lady, how may I be of assistance? He asked, bowing his head. "Does thou want another game of scrabble?" he wondered hopefully. "Not right now. I need you to deliver this letter to his majesty for me; it is of the utmost importance." Sarah said.
"Anything for thee my lady." replied Didymus. He bowed once more before disappearing from view.
"I just hope he reads it." Though Sarah.
Back in the Underground, Jareth was sitting in his throne among the chaos that was the goblin city. He was twirling a crystal between his fingers when one of his guards entered the room.
"Sire, the bridge watcher is here. He requests to see you." He exclaimed.
"Send him away." Sighed Jareth distractedly.
"But sire he says he holds a letter for you…from the mortal." Upon hearing this Jareth immediately took notice.
"Fine" he said.
"My lord I present a letter from lady Sarah." Announced Sir Didymus as he approached the throne.
"I don't want it" lied Jareth. Didymus paused.
"She knew his highness would say that. She also said that it was regarding his majesty's offer."
Jareth was silent for a moment.
"My offer you say?" he wondered.
"Yes My lord." answered Didymus.
"Alright I'll glance at it." Jareth sighed.
"As you wish, your majesty," Didymus answered as he left the throne room.
Jareth looked at the letter. After a brief moment of staring he decided to open it.
Jareth,
After you read this you will never have to hear from me again.
There are so many things I want to say to you yet this is not the best time.
First of all I wish to apologize for the way I acted tonight. I was spoilt and bratty and I should never have treated you that way. As I said there are so many things I need to say but this is most important and I don't know if I'll ever get another chance. I love you. More than you'll ever know. You may believe that I'm too young or naive to know what love is but I know what my heart is telling me.
I'm sorry for my actions tonight but you must understand that I had to think of Toby and not myself.
I wish things could have turned out the way we both wanted and I hope someday you'll find it in your heart to forgive me
Forever Yours
Sarah Williams
Jareth sat there stunned. She loved him. It was only hours ago that she said those words and broke his heart and yet she loved him. He didn't know what to do. Should he go talk to her? He watched from outside her window earlier that night during the night during her party and it looked at though she was happy to be rid of him. Although she did say she needed all of us…but that probably only meant her friends. Still he had to know if she had meant what she wrote in the letter. Or if she was playing a cruel joke just to tear away any remaining pieces of his heart away. She said the words. She knew what she was doing. Whenever she practiced in the park she could never remember that line but when it was the real thing she remembered straight away. Jareth sighed.
"Well there's only one way to find out for sure." He thought. "What else can she say to hurt me."
