Don't own Jareth, do own Silea and Mae and my ideas, but anyone may lend them, just bring them home safe :)

Chapter Six: Knock it off.

Silea went back to her house. She went to her room and grabbed her bag. In the doorway, she turned around. She walked back and took the book out of her desk. She took the picture out of the book. It was still intriguing. Silea sighed and put it back. She wrapped the book in a soft scarf and went to school.

She was late, but Silea didn't want to take any chances and had hidden the book in the back of her locker. She walked into the classroom with a lot of confidence. It surprised Jareth. He was still wondering why, until he noticed she stood in front of him. The class held their breath.

He looked her angry in her eyes, but Silea just said: "Don't make me fall asleep again," and she sat down.

The class was flabbergasted. They wondered what she meant. Did he use drugs on her? But they didn't give that much thought. It was even more amazing she dared to use this kind of tone to the teacher. They couldn't believe it. They'd thought everybody was afraid of him and that shy, dreamy girl wasn't. They didn't understand.

They tore their eyes off Silea and looked at their teacher. How would he react? Angry? Furious? Astonished? But that couldn't be right! He was just watching her with an amused smirk on his face, looking little surprised, but not overwhelmed.

Then he saw the class watching. He quickly pushed away his emotions and started the lesson, as if nothing happened, but Silea didn't fall asleep.

The bell rang. Silea kept looking straightforward, as everybody left. Jareth just shuffled some papers. Silea was anxious and hoped Mae would be fast. Jareth had decided to be generous and wait for Mae.

When Mae walked in, they both began to move. Jareth wanted to speak first, but Silea was faster. She said: "There are some things I need to tell you and there are some things you need to tell me. To be sure you will tell, I'll wait until you're done."

"Well, well, you finally got some courage, took you long enough, hmm? So, things you need to know, you mean the nightmares, don't you? They could be nightmares or they could be a message sent by…"

Silea stopped him by holding her hand up and said: "Yeah, I know by Ynitsed, old news buddy. I want to know what were supposed to do. That man was talking in riddles, although in her eyes it made some sense."

"He told you his name?" Jareth was astonished. "Yes, he did, after I had asked." Jareth looked at her. "All right, I think I can tell you girls. A long time ago, someone made a prophecy. Nobody knows who did it and nobody knew what it meant."

"Well, what's the prophecy?" Silea interrupted. "I was trying to tell," he hissed and he continued in an official tone: "A long time will pass. The worlds will be in peace and sometimes in war. But someday the universe starts to implode in the human realm. When the human realm is destructed, the fantasy realm will be too. There will be a group. Some Fae and some humans in it. They will be able to save the world. The must go on a quest to the north of the Fae world and they will have to calm down the creature that lives there to succeed."

Silea and Mae were impressed. "So, are you ladies ready to tell me what you needed to tell?" Silea took a piece of paper out of her bag. When Jareth looked questioning, she said: "It's because this way you can't say your story influenced it."

He read the piece of paper. "Really? She's one, that is probably not a coincidence." "That's what I figured out too," Mae said. "Really?" Silea said nothing. She took the book and gave it to Jareth. "Ah, the book. I was curious about the 'magical looking painting', why it would be so convincing."

Jareth took it out. "You got a book of destiny here! What would be the probability of that happening? This is clearly not a coincidence. This shouldn't even be in this world. This should be safe and sound with…"

He paused and gasped at Silea. "You are not human."

"What???" they both exclaimed.

"You're not human, you're Fae."

Silea gasped. "But I have parents, I can assure you they are human."

"You apparently are adopted. It all fits. Listen, around between 15 and 20 years ago, there was a minor war between the Faerie kingdom and the Vampire kingdom. The vampires conquered the Faerie castle in the middle of the war. I'm guessed one of the vampires impregnated the Faerie Queen. Result: you. Because she doesn't want you grow up unhappy as a bastard, she brought you to the above, where you would be a normal child and have a normal life. The book given to you to remind yourself or to bring you back to the underground sometime. I just wonder why she gave you the book of my kingdom and not her own book."

"Are there more books?"

"Yes, for example, the Faerie Book is called 'The Forest' and there are more."

"Well, I don't know a lot about the books or the reasons she gave me that specific book, but it cannot be a coincidence."

Jareth seemed to think about that. "You're right. It's can't be a coincidence. The Faerie Queen and I are the only two persons who have a Goblin kingdom book of destiny. It all fits in, I mean your being a Fae."

"How do you mean?"

"Ever wondered how your sister really made it to my castle? I mean, she was really clumsy."

"No, I didn't"

"I just couldn't let her lose, for some reason I couldn't. I think you must go of your own will, you can't be forced to the underground. It also explains why I grew such a fondness for you while you where in my castle. Normally, I can't love humans, I can like them, but I can't love them. It's a curse, laid upon me. It why I turn most of them into goblins. They forget about the things done to them, not all parents are nice to their children and I can love them. Although they annoy me a lot, I still love them, like a father loves his children."

"I think we should go home, I want to see if I can find some clues it's true and ask my parents."

Silea stood up, but Jareth stopped her. "That isn't necessary, I can show you" and he conjured a crystal and began to twirl it.

A/N: This is one of the chapters I really wanted to write, finally some explanations and some suspicions affirmed :)
