The nurse hummed to herself, quietly writing as she sat next to the bed of the comatose girl. A sudden scream wrenched her from her stupor, making her let out a small scream of her own as she watched the girls body literally start to heal itself right before her eyes. "Jesus Christ!" She yelled, watching the scars and cuts fade from her body in shock. The yelling and screaming made doctors come running, three standing in the doorway in shock.

All four watched as, though she remained asleep, she screamed and flailed on the bed, her body healed. They also watched as one of her hands ripped the feeding tube from her throat, the screams turning up in pitch. The nurse crossed herself as Sarah's body fell back onto the bed, its chest heaving before tears started pooling and streaming down her sleeping cheeks.

"Jareth..." The sound startled both doctors and the nurse alike, all four staring at the body of the young girl in shock.


Sarah was asleep once more, Jareth observed when he himself woke up. Sadness and fear ate away at his heart when he saw just how shaky her body was and how it flickered in the dying light of the fireplace. He reached over and gently took her hand, closing his eyes again when her breathing became shaky. She was slowly returning to her body back in that blasted Hospital room in the Aboveground. He grit his teeth together suddenly vanished from the room.


The doctors had left by now, not wanting to be near the girl who had so suddenly healed. They whispered among themselves as they crowded close to the door of her room, their whispering interrupted when a blond man appeared from around the corner. They paused as they watched him approach, his blond hair cut close to his scalp and his mismatched eyes watching them the closer he got. He wore a suit, eyes gleaming as he stopped a small foot from the group of doctors.

"I'm here to see Sarah." He said, his voice sounding like a command. The men scurried away, watching as Jareth walked into her room. His shoulders crumpled when he saw her still comatose, pulling a chair up as he took her hand and sat. "Sarah-mine, please wake up." He whispered, unable to stop the tears as he placed a gentle kiss to the back of her hand.

The girls body emanated a mumble that sounded like his name, her hand squeezing lightly though she remained asleep. Jareth suppressed a sob, knowing the doctors were watching and not wanting to appear weak in front of these strangers. "Precious…" He whispered before quietly humming "As the world falls down".

He started when the machine beside her stopped it's beeping only to let out one loud, long one that filled his heart with fear. Throwing a hand up to create a barrier, forcing the doctors to stay out. He watched her for a moment before panic finally set in. Tearing his gloves off, he ignored the doctors as his hands slowly phased through her. When he pulled his hands back, a second Sarah was in his arms, sound asleep as her chest moved steadily. "You are not leaving me, precious… Not after I just got you back." He whispered, staring at the now fae girl in his arms.

It hurt him, seeing her mortality fade away to the now corpse on the bed. But it was the only way he knew how to keep her, to keep her alive. His blue and hazel eyes studied her new features like the way her skin seemed to glow and her hair shined brighter than the sun though it remained it's dark, chestnut brown. Her lips almost seemed fuller and he was sure her eyes, were they open, were brighter, possibly a deeper emerald green he loved. Gently pressing his lips to her temple, he teleported them back to the Underground.


So I'm debating… Should I bring this story to an end and start a new one? Where Sarah starts her fae life with Jareth? Please review or PM me and give me some of your thoughts and ideas!
