Chapter 12

That night Sarah couldn't sleep. She walked over to the doors that led out to the balcony and took a deep breath. Looking up at the stars she felt at peace. Then everything that has happened the past few days came crashing down on her. Then her mind wandered back to when she had wished her brother away. Sarah really didn't want to think about those times, the times when she would dress up and act out parts of her books that she would read. She was always fighting with her step mother and her father. She was always staying home with her brother and she never had plans on the weekends.

Sarah looked away from the stars and started to think about her mother and cousin. She missed her cousin dearly. Then she made that wish for the goblins to take her brother away. Yet, she didn't want to think about that damn wish. Then something occurred to her, it was something that her father said, "What do you think about the King?" Those words had haunted her mind ever since her father had said them. Looking around she noticed no one was there, so she let her guard down and thought about what her father had asked her about. How did she feel about the goblin king? She wasn't sure. But, until a few days ago, she didn't trust him or know anything about him. Yet, at the same time, as the days went on since she had met him again, she thought how he had acted towards her and it was nothing like he had when she was running the Labyrinth.

Sarah walked back into her room with thoughts of Jareth on her mind. She couldn't help but remember the bubble dream of her being in that white dress and he in that blue outfit. She couldn't understand why he had done that, but at the same time she knew why. Glancing down at the ring on her vanity she realized why she had had that dream, she had felt something for him, but dismissed it because she needed-no wanted to get her brother back.

"Damn, if only I could figure this out. It's all so confusing and he's so confusing" she said out loud to herself. Putting her thought to the side, Sarah decided to finally get some sleep. Yet, unaware that someone was looking in on her though a crystal.

Jareth

Jareth watched as Sarah was trying to work out whatever was bothering her. Oh how he wanted to help her, but he knew that she would be mad at him and hurt him even more than she did right now. Jareth had think of some way to get Sarah to see that he wasn't the villain from all those years ago. It was only an act that he had to perform for the runners, yet he knew that she knew he could be cruel.

"Jareth, is there a reason why you are spying on a young lady so late at night?" called his ever-nosy loving mother.

"No mother," Jareth answered while playing with his crystals.

He waved a hand over the crystal to hide the fact that he was indeed spying on Sarah. He couldn't say why he was doing it. But he knew that Sarah was his, his alone, and his to have. Glancing over at his mother he noticed that she had a look that said she knew what he was feeling.

"Jareth, don't forget that she had denied you twice now, and yet you are still trying to win her heart? How are you going about it this time?" Queen Lily asked.

"I don't know. I'll work it out on my own. Please, mother, don't try and help," Jareth said looking around the room.

"I won't help. But, spying on her does not help. Let her be and just act normal and maybe talk to her. I know you fell for this girl since she was a child. Don't forget the women of the Aboveground have a little more freedom on whom they want, want to be, want to be with, and also have as many lovers as they want until they find the one that is right for them. So please don't do anything stupid." With that said the Queen walked out of the room and left her son in thought.

Jareth started to spin his crystals in his hand once again trying to think of how to win her and make her his. He hadn't been with anyone in a long time. Jareth thought back to the day he had cut his heart off from every being that was alive. The day he had lost someone because the one he thought he was in love with was too jealous.

"How do I go about this? It seems that tonight was actually really good. Just talking to her and helping her take Toby to bed," he said out loud to himself. Jareth looked into one of his crystals and saw that Sarah was sound asleep, but he didn't dare see what she was dreaming about, or at least not yet because she did need her mind to be clear.

Sarah.

Waking up when the sunlight was on her face, Sarah had a hard time thinking about where she was because she wasn't in her own room. Looking around she realized that she and her brother were at the Castle beyond the Goblin City. Getting up, she got dressed and looked at the purple colored dress that she was in. She felt a bit better knowing that she was safe. Yet, her dreams she had the night before were confusing her.

The dream was something that she didn't want to think about because each time she did, she would end up blushing. Looking around again and she noticed that no one was in the room with her. Looking at the mirror, she was getting nothing but flash backs of that dream of her and Jareth being alone talking and then kissing.

"I can't think about that dream. It's not something you should be thinking about especially about him." Sarah said out loud to herself.

"Sarah are you all right dear?" Asked the Queen Lily.

Sarah turned around and noticed that her door to her room was opened and the queen stood there and look around and noticed that they were alone. The Queen walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Sarah are you all right? You seems quiet warm?"

"I'm fine. I think I am just hungry." Said Sarah.

The Queen didn't really believe her but she didn't press the matter. Nodding her head, the queen looked at Sarah and said, "If you want to work some things out but you can't seem to work them out in your mind you can always work them out with paper and ink."

"I think I might do that later. Thanks you-Lily." Said Sarah.
