A/N: just to let you know, I didn't plan for this chapter to be like this, it just came out, so I hope you like the backstory and if not I am sorry.

Chapter 25

Jareth and his sister Jane arrived at the gypsy camp looking for Alana who said she could make Jane walk again but they needed to come to her.

As Jareth and Jane got closer to Alana's trailer Zara stopped in front on them,

"Jareth where do you think you are going?" she asked.

"To see my daughter" Jareth told her walking around her.

Zara looked at Jane "Janell how nice to see you, how are you?"

"I'm fine and yourself" Jane said.

"I'm good" she smiled.

Then Zara went back to walk in front of Jareth trying to block him "you shouldn't be here, you're not welcomed"

Jareth stopped and looked her in the eye and replied "I was invited"

"By who?" Zara asked.

"Me" a female voice said.

They all looked where the voice came from and saw Alana standing there with her hands on her hips.

"Alana why did you bring him here, you know your mother would not approve" Zara said.

Alana looked at Zara and replies "mother is dead, so it would not matter if she approves or not, my father is here and needs me and I want to help"

"Let them pass" another voice said.

Zara looked at saw her mother Lily standing there "mother you are behind this too?"

Lily smiled at her daughter "yes, Alana wants to help and I want to help her"

"Mother your helping the enemy" Zara said.

"How is Jareth the enemy Zara?" her mother asked her.

"He killed Serena, remember her, your daughter, my sister" Zara said.

Lily shook her head and pinched the bridge of her nose then replied "Serena killed herself, you know Zara your sister was not well"

"And who's fault was that?" Zara says.

"Zara dear I love you, but you have to stop blaming people when it's not their fault" Lily told her.

"But mother it is his fault" Zara said.

"no my dear it's not, your sister was mentally unstable, due to the magic in her she could not control and the man that she was in love with was brain washing her she didn't know who to trust anymore and because of that she lost herself and thought that killing herself was the only way out"

"Yeah Jareth brainwashed her" Zara said.

Jareth looked angry at her and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Zara dear, I wish you would get your facts straight, Serena never loved Jareth and she was in love with Anton" Lily tells her.

Zara looked shocked at her mother "Anton the king of elves?"

"Yes" Lily said.

Jareth looked shock then said "I thought it was the guy I always saw her with"

"No that was the body guard that Anton put on her, well actually a spy" Lily said.

"Anton is married, isn't he?" Zara asked.

"Yes, he was" Lily said.

"What do you mean was? He left his wife?" Zara asks.

Lily didn't reply, Zara looked at her and said "mother what happened to Anton"

Lily looked at them and said "I had him killed"

"Mother" Zara said in a shocked voice.

"He destroyed my daughter with his promises, his love and forcing her to do things she didn't want to do" Lily said.

"When did you kill him?" Zara asked.

"Right after Serena died and she confessed everything to me on her deathbed" Lily said.

"I thought Serena died instantly?" Jareth asked.

"no, she put poison on the tip of the sword, so only the tip went in, my guards found her and brought her to me, because I knew she was unstable, I wanted to help her, but she said that death is her escape and wanted it all to end and to let her go" Lily was crying by the end of it and walked away.

Zara watched her mother go sadly and walked away the opposite way, knowing that her mother needed to be alone.

Alana, Jareth and Jane went into her trailer.

Lily was in her trailer and sat in a chair by the fire remembering the day Serena died like it was yesterday.

Years Ago

"I want my daughter found, I am afraid she might harm herself" Lily told the men that worked for her as the gypsy's body guards.

Lily was pacing back and forth, when she heard someone walk in and heard moaning she turned around and saw Serena in the arms of her guard.

The guard laid Serena on the bed; her mother quickly went over to her and put a cloth on her head, the guard left.

Serena removed her mother's hand from her head "mother, I just had a baby"

Lily smiled "I know you did dear"

"Mother, I did a terrible thing" Serena choked out crying.

"What is it sweetie" Lily said trying to be strong.

"I had them tell Jareth his daughter is dead, but she's not, Zara took her" Serena pushed out through the pain and tears.

Lily looked at her sadly "why did you do that for dear?"

"She is not safe with Jareth, Anton will look for her and kill her" Serena said.

"Why would he do that?' Lily asked.

"Because this child is not his, I wanted to give Jareth something to remember me by, I didn't love him and I know he doesn't love me, his soulmate is out there and it isn't me" she explained.

"What are you saying?" Lily asked.

"Tristin is Anton's not Jareth's, but please don't tell Jareth he loves him so much as his own and Anton is an evil man" Serena said.

Lily held her hand and asked "I thought you loved him dear"

Serena shook her head gently and moaned and replied "I did, but he is scaring me now, he promised years ago that he would leave his wife for me, but I bring it up he threatens to kill me and our son, he beat me once"

Lily started to cry, she knew that Serena had more to say "he forced me to kill and to have sex with other men" she was crying.

"I didn't know who to trust anymore, mother I am going crazy, I need help" Serena says, then took a breath she knew she had to get this out "this is my only escape from Anton, Jareth, my kids, I can't be what they want me to be anymore"

Lily held her hand tighter "Serena, I can save you"

Serena shook her head "no, mother I have to go death is the only way I can be free, I want you to live to be happy and find love and look out for my daughter Alana"

"I will" Lily said.

"I love you" Serena says as she took her last breath.

Her mother hugged her and cried.

Present Year

Lily said by the fire crying, she then took a letter out of her pocket and looked at it and said to herself "the letter I had to forge to Zara to get her to hate Jareth and give her a reason to help her hide Alana"

Lily ripped up the letter and threw it in the fire.

Alana had Jane lay on her bed, Jareth sat in a chair next to the bed holding his sister's hand.

"This won't hurt her, will it?" Jareth asked.

"No, she won't feel a thing" she assured him.

Jareth smiled at his sister.

Alana was mixing ingredients and walked over to them with a bowel in her hand.

"Where do your legs hurt the most?" Alana asked.

Jane put her hands on her legs right above the knee, the removed her hand.

Alana looked at Jane and said "this might tingle a bit, but I promise it won't hurt okay"

"Okay" Jane said and closed her eyes.

Alana lifted up her dress until Jane's legs were bared and sprinkled the powder over her legs and within minutes the power was absorbed in her skin.

Jane moved around like she was uncomfortable, Jareth watched her and asked "does it hurt?"

"No, it tingles and tickles a little bit" Jane said.

And then it stopped, Alana put her dress back down and grabbed both her hands "let's see if it worked"

Jane looked at Jareth who smiled at her and nodded his head at her.

Jane got off the bed and started to walk around, Alana and Jareth watched her.

"Are you in any pain?" Alana asked.

Jane thought about it for a moment then answered "no, none at all"

Jane smiled happily and Jareth went to her hugging her tight.

Jane walked up to Alana "thank you so much"

Alana smiled at her and said "you are welcome"

Jareth and Jane left her trailer; they saw Lily waiting outside for them.

Lily looked at Jane and said "I see Alana fixed you up good, congratulations my dear"

"Thank you" Jane said.

"Jareth say hi to your father for me" Lily said.

"I will" Jareth said.

As they walked away Lily got a memory in her head after Serena died Jareth's father her lover came to see her.

"I am sorry for your loss my dear" he said as he kissed her cheek.

Lily looked at him and said "I want you to do something for me?"

Garrett grabbed Lily's hand and replied "anything for you my dear"

Lily looked him in the eyes and said "I want you to kill Anton"

Garrett looked at her horrified "why?"

"It's his fault my daughter is dead" Lily told him.

Garrett thought about and said "consider it done my dear"

Lily smiled up at him and kissed him.

Lily smiled at the memory, Alana walked up to her and put her arm around her "are you alright grandmother?"

"Yes, I'm good" Lily replied.

They both walked into Lily's trailer.
