A/N: I'm sorry, it's been over two weeks and you haven't heard from me. I am so sorry. School started back up for the semester and I fell away there. I've already had two quizzes and I have two more than a test in 5 days plus homework! XD This professor is evil. I should send him to the Bog! Jareth! I wish for algebra to be sent to the bog and anyone that teaches it as well!... Jareth?... Hello?

Kaye woke to hushed voices, the dawn just about to break.
"So you found him then?" Chase asked softly.
"Yeah. But he'd been dead for hours. Whoever 'saved him' finished him off." Chance told him, annoyance strong in his voice.
"We still don't know who that savior was." A deep voice spoke.
"We will continue the hunt in 6 hours time. For now, go rest." Jareth told them.
"I'll keep watch till she wakes," Chase said softly.
"No need," Jareth said firmly. Kaye listened, eyes closed as they said their goodbye's. Jareth moved over to the seat Chase had been using, a sigh leaving his lips as he shrugged off his coat.
"Jareth?" She called out softly, not wanting to spook him. He quickly looked up from taking off his boots.
"Yes?"
Kaye said nothing as she moved over on the bed, Draco moving his self to lay next to her again but leaving enough room for someone to comfortably lay down as well. Jareth looked at her for a moment, loving the pale blush on her face as she looked anywhere but at him. He finished pulling off his boots and socks before crawling under the covers, patting Draco on the head.
"Why do you trust me?" He asked before turning on his side to look at her. Kaye turned over as well, getting slightly lost in his different colored eyes.
"I began to trust you because you saved us. Then when I was in the labyrinth and again in your room. I felt your emotions. I could feel that I could trust you fully."
Kaye flipped over onto her back, placing her hands over her face.
"But I feel like this is all rushing along and I'm powerless to stop it. I've only known you for a day." She said with a frustrated sigh. Jareth pushed his self up onto his hand.
"I'll get out."
"No! I mean, no. I just. I don't know. I'm sorry. I think I'm going crazy."
Jareth chuckled as he laid back down onto the bed.
"I felt the same the first time I saw you. Did you know that fae kings have mates?" Jareth asked, studying the ceiling.
"I thought I had found her a long time ago. But I was wrong. I was cruel. I thought if I got her to play my game, change the stars for my own gain but make her think it was for her. She'd love me. I even told her if she'd only fear me I'd be her slave,"
Jareth let out a humorless laugh at this.
"Of course, the first chance she had, she ran. Leaving me behind. I swore to never go to the Aboveground again. To never love again. But then I gave in, I went to the Aboveground, and I saw you. I fought against everything I felt until I thought I had gone crazy. I'd start laughing for no reason, then be screaming the next." Jareth told her, unable to stop the words from spilling forth. Kaye peaked at him through her fingers, taken aback by his honesty.
"Then one day, as I looked through the Old Kings Chronicles, I came across something that explained in detail what a kings mate was and what happened when he ran across a potential. Everything that was written there described me. Everything I felt and was going through. You see, I think the reason we are like this, and so quickly. Is because you're my mate. At least, a possible one."
Kaye pondered this. If goblins and fae were real, who was she to say this wasn't as well?
"I guess in a magic kind of way. That makes sense. At least there would be a reason for this extreme pull." Kaye told him with a yawn, snuggling up to Draco. Jareth grunted in response to her as he started to think. She peeked at him around Draco's head, watching as his eyes grew heavy a little slower than her own.
"Good night Jareth." She mumbled as she closed her eyes, too tired to fight against the sleep anymore.
"Good night Kaye. Have sweet dreams. Safe dreams." Jareth whispered as she fell asleep, a small smile on her face.

Kaye felt her body wake her up, telling her she must go to the restroom. Sighing she moved to stretch but felt slightly trapped.
"Draco. Move." She grumbled, uncurling her hands that were under her chin to push at him. When her hands touched warm skin instead of fur her eyes shot open. Once they focused she noticed she was staring at a pale collar bone that peaked through a black poets shirt, her eyes slowly lifted up and landed on the sleeping face of the goblin king. Kaye felt her face burn as well as her ears and neck as his soft breath ruffled the hair on the top of her head, his arm was currently draped over her protectively as he slept. Kaye slowly inched her way out of his grasp and rushed to the bathroom, shutting the door behind her, placing her back against the cold wood.
"Oh, my goddess..." She whispered, putting her fingertips to her lips. She took a few deep breaths to calm her self before deciding to take a bath to help lower her blood pressure. She walked over to the tub and went through the same processes she watched Daisy do the night before. She hummed softly to her self as she made the water slightly warmer before pulling the nightgown over her head. The sudden thought that she hadn't put on any undergarments after last night hit her and cause her to blush all over again.
"I'm such an idiot!"
Kaye covered her mouth as her yell at her self sounded throughout the bathroom. She quickly whirled around as the bathroom door was jerked open.
"Kaye? What's wrong?" Jareth yelled out, standing in the doorway.
