Sarah smiled at him from where she was stood, beneath a huge silver birch tree
Jareth ran to her and holding her tight wept "oh Sarah…I'm so sorry"
She ran her fingers through his hair, "Jareth its okay, hush I'm alright"
They sat leaning against the tree Sarah's brown hair had silver in it, though she didn't look a day over 20, "Sarah, what happened?"
"I'm being changed; he explained it all to me, the unicorn. I'm being changed from human to, to a creature" Sarah had turned her head, but not quickly enough.
Jareth gripped her face and turned it towards him, pearly tears fell down her cheeks
"Sarah I wish I knew what you are! I want to free you"
"I, I, wont I be Sarah?" she looked scared
"You will never be Sarah again" Jareth said without thinking he regretted it immediately, Sarah's eyes widened full of pain
"Then, I won't be the one you want anymore" she whispered "you won't love me"
"Sarah" she wasn't understanding he had reached out to touch her shoulder, she had turned away again. Her very skin seemed to be moving, he snatched his hand back. Sarah stood and turning to him, Jareth saw her face was changing, half human half horse "You can hardly bear to touch me Jareth" She spat out tears falling Sarah's human form dropped away revealing, Jareth could hardly believe what he saw taking his surprise for horror Sarah closed her eyes and began to walk away he couldn't move "Goodbye goblin king" a voice said in his mind, Jareth almost reeled at the emotional hurt from both himself and Sarah, before he could reply; she had gone
Jareth fell out of the bed with something between a grunt and a scream. He was dizzy, disorientated. He wondered where he was briefly. Pink wasn't his usual décor for a room, it looked like the queen mothers chambers….near to his own……why wasn't he in his usual dark colours……Sarah…..Sarah!
With a yelp he stood up, and conjuring new clothes vanished into his rooms.

Callum felt him arrive and before Jareth could say anything he was backed against the wall by a very pissed off looking horse….with a very pointy horn.
"Callum it's me!"
"Humph" the horse said a lay back down, Jareth knelt down beside him
"I know what she's going to be!" This caught the unicorn's interest; he tuned his shaggy white head towards Jareth.
"And what would that be" he said inside Jareth's head
Jareth grabbed Callum's horn without invitation and showed him the image of Sarah, in her non human form. Callum's neigh of displeasure melted into a horse version of a gasp
"Wha? When? How?"
"No time, I want to talk to Sarah NOW"
"Jareth don't….!" Callum tried to stop him but Jareth sidestepped the horse and reaching out and grabbed Sarah's hand.
