I was never what one would call normal. Maybe it was my love for all things fantasy at such an older age. Maybe it was my firmly held belief in happily-ever after and that elusive knight in shining armor. Whatever it was most people did not find it appealing.

It was this strangeness that first brought me to meet Jareth. I was afraid of him at first, afraid of what he stood for. He was the evidence that all I believed in could be true and I was scared shitless that he would let my dreams down.

I sometimes wonder if I was right to be. He was a villain of my own creation. Would he have been so if I hadn't wanted him that way? Oh how I wish I knew then all that I know now.

The room in which I sit now is chilly, but then again most of the Goblin Castle is. I am in one of the many libraries, Jareth just across from me. Things have changed since I was that silly child. I could tell you how long it has been, but I doubt you would believe me.

I guess it started just a few short years after I first visited the Underground. I was still that naive little girl waiting for my Prince Charming. Who would have thought I would find him in an old bookstore, or that he would turn out to be the same man I had once hated.

It is funny how things happen, for now many years later I sit here draped in silks and married to the Goblin King.

You might ask me if I still believe in those same dreams. I am not sure. Maybe what I believe now is less than that perfect view of the world, but I do still believe in my knight. Only his armor is dented and just a bit tarnished.

I don't think I would have him any other way though.

Author's Note: Ok very, very, very short I know. But this was really just a bit of an Exercise to help me get started. This is also not at all edited, just a bit of a word spew actually. I really had no idea where this was going when I wrote it, I just got back from seeing "New Moon" and wanted to write and this sort of came out. Anyway now I am off to work on "The Fire Stone" and my original novel, so wish me luck ands maybe help me give my Muse a bit of a kick in the bum so I can actually get some chapters out for everyone!

Disclaimer: Yeah right, like I own any of this. If I did I would not be on this stupid superslow net connection!!!!
