Chapter Nine:
When Danielle went into her chamber, she saw a bench covered with a blanket. She walked over to it and sat down. She waited for something to happen. While she waited, she looked at the blanket. The blanket had pictures covering it. The pictures were of her and an unfamiliar man. The man looked sort of like Ioan Grufford. There where children playing around them, but the children looked like Sarah and Jareth. The pictures began to move, she saw her and the man watched Sarah and Jareth's life play out. They went to a grave. The grave had her name on it. It said that Danielle had died from iron poisoning. Words appeared next to Jareth's head. The words read "why do we have to keep Danielle's secret."
"You know that mom and dad, grandma and grandpa couldn't take the truth of her loving Robert and Karen's new son. You know that they used their magic to make him older."
"Yah. I still can't believe that they had the nerve to call themselves your parents when you weren't even their blood child. I also can't believe they took Toby back. He doesn't know anything but The Underground."
"I know." The pictures stopped moving and the blanket disappeared. Danielle looked up and saw that her surroundings were that of the garden that She, Jareth, and Sarah played in before they came here. She saw the man from the blanket coming towards her. "This is what is to come if you are not mindful Robert and Karen's plan. You are the next seer of the land. I am your future husband. If you watch Robert and Karen, you can prevent Toby from being taken from The Underground and Me being their son. If you don't stop them, they will take Toby and Adopt me and use dark magic to make me their son. The door of Danielle's chamber opened. She stepped out and walked over to her grandfather. She bowed as she said "Master, I have reason to suspect Robert and Karen of treason."
"What reason have you to suspect them." Danielle explained to her grandfather what she had seen in her chamber. " I will have your grandmother keep an eye out on them. Lets wait to see if your brother and Sarah have anything further to say on the matter." They sat and waited for Sarah and Jareth to come out of their chambers.
****** Sarah and Jareth's test ******
Sarah walked into her chamber and saw a courtyard garden that had flowers everywhere. There was a pond in the middle of the garden. 'wow. This is beautiful.' She thought. She walked towards the pond and saw that it had lily pads growing in it. She then saw Jareth laying on his stomach running his had in the water. He looked so innocent laying there. She had to keep in mind that he was a month older than her. She quietly went and layed down next to him. "hello good sir." Jareth looked over at her. "I didn't know tests could be shared."
"Neither did I." Something caught her eye. She looked down at the pond. "Jareth look" He looked. They both saw Karen and Robert trying to get Toby to do dark magic. "Son, you do this magic or you will never see the light of day again."
"you are not my daddy, and you are most definiatly not my mommy" said Toby trying to push away from Robert and Karen. "yes we are. Now do as you are told."
"No. Leave me alone." Toby threw a granite ball at Robert and Karen and ran away from them as fast as he could. The image faded away. It then showed them all the Fae and magical creatures being forced into The Underground. When the pond was done showing them what was to be seen, Sarah started to cry. She tried to get up but couldn't. "There there." Jareth said as he comforted her. He hated to see her cry. It made him want to cry too. Their friendship had strengthend over the years. "Sarah, don't cry. You know it makes me cry to."
"I can't stop."
"we can fix all the problems. I know we can."
"really."
"really." He said to her as he hugged her. " Sarah, can I tell you something?"
"sure, anything."
"I Love You."
"You do. That's funny, I love you too." Sarah and Jareth looked into each others eyes. Jareth shyly gave Sarah a kiss. As he pulled away, Sarah put her hands on his cheeks and pulled him back and kissed him. Their chamber doors opened up and Danielle saw them kissing. " awwwwww." She said. They pulled apart startled. They then gave Danielle the worst stares she ever got. They came out and told Danielle and Nanourak what they saw in the pond. They then went in to the castle to futher their making out.
