Chapter 3

Young Matthias was having an enjoyable Christmas vacation with his sister. They were going to movies, getting burgers and secretly shopping for their parents' presents, and on Christmas Eve, Victoria lead every one in a joyful Christmas carol sing-a-long on the piano. Everything was perfect; which was why it was so sad for Matthias when Victoria had to go back to school.

"But Tor! You just got here!" He said, hugging her tightly.

"I know, Kiddo.but I gotta get back to school, you know that."

"Yeah.but you'll come back soon?"

"I'm afraid not.next break isn't for a while.I'll tell you what, I'll give you my e-mail address, and you can e-mail me whenever you want." She said, writing it down on a piece of paper.

"Okay!" He said, pocketing the paper.

"Well, this is goodbye, Kiddo." She cooed, kissing him on his head and climbing into Jimmy's jeep.

"Bye Tor!" He shouted as they pulled out of the drive. He gave a full arm wave, and went back inside.

Back At College...

Victoria was sad to be back in school. Having a small break, made her realize how much she had been working the rest of the year. She did get back on track however and was ready to take her Psychology notes when a new teacher walked in. He was wearing a grey suit with a cornflower blue tie. He was tall, he was handsome, and he was Jareth. Victoria stared at him. His hair was trimmed to look more modern and he had washed his face clear of any eye shadow or glitter junk. He smiled at the class, displaying his crooked tooth that looked like a fang.

"Hello, class." He said, still smiling. Victoria noticed that at the sound of his voice, most of the girls turned their attention to him.

"My name is Professor Nilbog and I will be your teacher for the remainder of the school year." He scanned the class with those miss-matched eyes of his. They settled on Victoria as he whipped out a attendance sheet.

"Miss. Williams." He said looking at her. Victoria didn't know how, but she found her voice in time.

"Stevens." She corrected.

"Sorry.?" 'Professor Nilbog' said.

"Stevens, my last name is Stevens."

"Who.are you not Sarah Williams?"

"No.I'm Victoria Stevens.." She nodded curtly.

"You look exactly like your mother." His voice echoed in her mind. She shook her head slightly.

"Oh great." She thought, "He's in my head."

The Professor went through the class roster and began his lesson. Victoria took notes as usual but found it hard to concentrate. At the last bell of the day, the class got up and filed out, happy to be done for the day. Victoria scooped up her supplied, shoved it in her bag and rushed towards the door.

"Little Sarah." Jareth said standing in her way.

"Jareth move, I'm late for my next class."

"You have no other classes, this is the last one of the day." He smirked.

"What are you doing here?" She asked sharply, thinking that if she got right to the point it would save a world of time.

"Well, as you know," He started pulling out a crystal from his pocket and letting it roll over his fingers and hands, "You're mother has given birth to a son." Victoria closed her eyes, she knew what was coming next, and she dreaded it, "My heir. And, I was thinking that you would know the whereabouts of where I could go and retrieve him."

"And what makes you think that I'll tell you?!" Spat Victoria angrily.

"Nothing..just the fact that if you DON'T tell me, I'll be very mad, and when I find him for my self, I won't be so kind to him."

"Don't you DARE hurt Matt!" She growled. Jareth laughed.

"Foolish girl! You think harsh words as such will stop me?" He raised an eyebrow, "Really Little Sarah, you're very funny!"

"Don't call me that." "But why? You used to enjoy it.

"I'm not little anymore. You're dealing with a whole other person, and when I say Don't you dare hurt Matt, I mean if you lay one finger on my brother I'll come for you, and you won't be happy to see me." She snarled, turned on her heal and stormed away, her short hair flying out behind her.

"Oh I will Little Sarah, more than you know." He laughed to himself.
