1warnings: Lots of original characters, cause the movie just simply did not have a lot and I can't find the manga
pairing: Sarah and Jareth
timeline: After the movie, about 5 to 6 years
disclaimer: I do not own, unless someone forgot to tell me I do
notes: 1) This chapter dose not have anyone from the movie in it. They will be in the next chapter but not this one. It's to set the first plot up.2)This is my baby, the best fanfiction I have ever written, tell me if you agree. 2) Yes there are lots of original chars. This is because there is no way that Jareth is the only 'Human' looking person in the whole underground. Just no. 3) This will be updated regularly IF I get 10 reviews. If not well thats life and I will simply cry my self to sleep.
In the halls of a large palace, a young woman with long sliver hair walked, her boots making a clicking noise as she took each step, her eyes on a file in her hands. As she neared the door at the end of the hall, she snapped the folder close and placed it under her arm before reaching up and knocking on the door sharply. A voice called for her to enter as the door swing open with help of servants on the in side. She walked briskly past them, her head held high, her eyes forward to the person sitting on a throne in shadows. When she was closer, the young woman dropped down to one knee and bowed.
"My lady, You have summoned me?" She asked, her eyes down cast to the ground in front of her, the long sliver locks hiding her face. The woman heard movement from in front of her, telling her that her lady was adjusting with her arrival, giving the bowing woman her attention. Risking a glance up, her teal colored eyes caught only the legs in the light, the rest of her queen was still in the shadows.
"Yes, Amertrine I have. It seems my brother has taken to collecting children more seriously. He is taking the children and turning them in to goblins for his kingdom at an alarming rate. Soon, I'm afraid, the human world will not have any children left. As you know this can not be allowed," The voice that spoke was soft and almost airy, echoing threw the room.
Looking up more at the woman in front of her, the now named Amertrine waited to see if her lady would say more. When she didn't, the young woman reached for the folder under her arm and pulled it put looking it over, before asking the question she had.
"What is it you would want me to do, my lady?"
"Your goal is to stop him before he claims another child, I do not know what he wants an army for but I have my suspicions," Pausing and standing up the woman's legs disappeared in to the shadows, her the flared ends of her gown was the only indication of where she moved to.
"Do you remember a young girl that caught his eye, her name was Stephanie I think, or was it Stacy, I can not remember- "
"Sarah, My lady her name was Sarah"
"Ah yes, that was it, Sarah. Such a plain name she had. I never understood what Jareth wanted with her. The babe I knew, same reason as all the other babies, goblins for his kingdom or at least an intelligent one, But the girl, I never knew, alas, she never did return his feelings or at least I don't think she did. However I believe she is the reason for this, My brother is after all still hung up on her, and he is searching for her. By now she would be a woman," Stopping and turning to walk the other way as she paced, Amertrine watched in silence, listening to the heels of her lady's shoes.
As her lady kept talking, the silver haired woman reread the profile she held in her hands with a picture of the Sarah girl when she was six teen. While Amertrine herself wasn't as pretty as the upper Elven ladies, even she had to admit that she was beautiful compared to this young girl in the photograph, Long black hair green eyes, freckles dotting her face.
'It could be worse' she mused to her self. As to why the King of the Goblins would want her, one could only guess, but then again he was a goblin king. 'Maybe that was it,'
"My hunter, what are you think about?" The sudden question caught her off guard, as the queen intended, how ever Amertrine was quicker.
"My lady, I was only thinking of how to fix the problem at hand. I have a request from you, if I might impose?" The Queen regarded her from the shadows before moving a hand out in to the light for her to ask.
" How about offing a trade of sorts? As you have stated this is all because he wants to see her again, why not have a dinner where the two are to meet again, under better circumstances that is, in return he is to stop taking children for his army at least for this generation, " Bowing her head down again she missed the shift of darkness as her lady queen smiled. The servants all gave quite gasps as she moved out of the shadows towards the kneeling woman. Only till there was a gentle hand laid on her shoulder did Amertrine look up and met the duel eye colors of her queen.
"My dear hunter, you are much wiser than I at times like this. How do you plan to execute this idea? Surly the girl would not come here again by choice?"
"Yes, that is true my lady, but if you do trust me as you have shown in the past I will show you good reasons to trust me with my ideas, for I have a plan." At that comment the young woman leaned up to whisper in to the queens ear her plans. After she finished speaking, she pulled away to see that both the brown and green eyes were smiling at her, making Amertrine blush slightly.
"My hunter, you are so very clever! What a lovely plan you have created in you pretty head! I will set the actions in to play at once, my clever Amertrine," The queen then reached out and hugged the young woman quickly before pulling away and clasping her hands together. Waving her hands to the servants, The queen shouted at them in her excitement,
"Servants! Gather the cooks, set the tables send out invitations to all the lords and ladys! Set the date for three days from now, night of the new moon, for we celebrate the reunion of The Goblin King and his Queen!"
In a small quite town a thousand miles and years from the large palace a young woman in her early twenties, was rocking her baby sister yet again one night, the baby wouldn't stop crying now matter what the woman did,
