Chapter Six
The Ball was still going on when Sarah and Amara returned they walked over to Gwen who was talking to a woman and a man.
"I would like you to meet my daughter Ophelia and her husband Phillip of the Elf kingdom"
"Nice to meet you" both Sarah and Amara replied.
Ophelia studied both women before her and then looked at Sarah and asked "are you Sarah?"
"Yes, I am" Sarah said.
"I can see why my little brother likes you so much" she paused and continued "you are very beautiful"
Sarah blushed and said "thanks"
They noticed the ball coming to an end; Ophelia noticed Sarah looking around for someone and smiled "Jareth left a while ago"
Sarah looked at her sadly and replies "oh"
They all said goodbye to each other and Gwen and Sarah went back to the castle.
Sarah went to her room to go to sleep, while Gwen and Garrett checked on Kiera and saw her sleeping soundly; they both smiled and went up to their room to get some sleep.
Sarah was very tired when she got to her room, so she quickly got undressed and dressed in a nightgown and climbed into bed and fell asleep quickly as soon as her head hit the pillow.
She started to dream about Jareth. They were in the ballroom they were dancing and wearing the same outfits they were six years ago and he sang the same song to her.
Sarah and Jareth looked down at her stomach that was big and sticking out and they smiled at each other and they put their hands on it.
Then Sarah saw what looked like a sword go through Jareth's stomach, Jareth moaned in pain as the sword came out of him and blood appeared on his shirt instantly. Then Sarah started to scream.
Sarah woke up gasping for breath and put her hand to her stomach and realized that it was just a dream, she tried to go back to sleep.
Jareth also woke up and placed his hand on his stomach and realized it was just a dream and he wondered what that dream meant, so he tried to go back to sleep.
Both Jareth and Sarah had a dreamless sleep.
That Morning
Sarah woke up and went down to breakfast to join the others, Sarah walked in she saw Gwen, Garrett, Kiera and Toby sitting at the table and Jareth standing by the table talking to his parents.
They all looked at Sarah as she walked in.
"Jareth" she said in a low voice.
Jareth smiled and bowed his head then replied "Miss Williams"
Sarah frowned at that and watched him walk away; his mother's voice caught him as he was walking away "don't you want to join us for breakfast?"
"No, thank you mother" Jareth said and left.
Sarah sat down looking upset and confused and didn't eat much just mostly pushed her food around with her fork. Gwen looked at Sarah and smiled sadly and noticed that she was deep in thought.
Jareth was pacing the Labyrinth.
"What's the matter my king?" a female voice asked.
"I had a bad dream" Jareth replied.
Amara nodded her head and says "I know"
Jareth looked at her annoyed "I hate it when you read my mind"
"Sorry my king" Amara apologized.
"Since you saw my dream, maybe you can tell me what it meant" he said.
"It could mean many things" she told him.
"Like what?" Jareth asked.
"It could mean death is in store or maybe you and Sarah are not meant to be happy together or there is an enemy after you" Amara stopped when Jareth put up his had to stop her.
Jareth started to pace again then stopped and looked at Amara "I know what I have to do"
Amara dreaded to ask this question since she already knew the answer but she wanted to hear it from him "what is that?"
"The only way to save us is that I have to marry Abigail" Jareth tells her.
"Please sire don't" Amara begged.
Jareth looked at her and asked "you don't like her do you?"
"No, sire" Amara says honestly.
"Why not" he asks?
"She's not Sarah" she tells him truthfully.
Jareth smiled at her and responds "what are the other reasons?"
"She's not good for you, and she's mean" Amara explains.
"And what of Sarah" Jareth asks?
"She is perfect for you and you complete each other" Amara tells him smiling.
Jareth smiled at her then frowned "but what the dream"
"I will protect you and Sarah and any children you will have" she tells him.
Jareth smiled at her then kissed her on the cheek and disappeared. Amara blushed then put her hand to her cheek and smiled.
Sarah was sitting on the bench on the garden thinking over everything that has happened since she's been in the underground. Then she heard a noise and quickly stood up on guard.
She saw her friends walking towards her; she smiled and ran over to them hugging each one of them.
"I thought you could use your friends" Hoggle says.
"Of course I can" Sarah told him.
Sarah sat down on the bench while her friends sat on the grass in front of her they were talking and laughing and all worries melted away.
