A/N: Just please remember, I love all of my readers and I am so sorry for what I am about to do to you. (2019 Edit: There is a sequal up so don't panic!)

Kaye felt as though she had been trampled by a herd of goblins, her body hurt so much. She let out a groan due to the pain as she started to register the surrounding sounds. The steady beeping of a machine, the soft hum of people talking in the distance. The more she came to, the stronger the pain became but also the more confused she was. She had not seen any machines in the Underground that would make these sounds. And why was it proving so hard to open her eyes! She listened as the beeping got faster and louder as she struggled to open her eyes. Just as her vision was met with a blinding light she heard people rush into the room.

"Stay calm ma'am. You're safe here." A soft female voice said Kaye blinked a few times before the blinding white light started to allow shapes and other colors to be seen.

"Ma'am, you are in the hospital. Do you remember who you are?" The voice from before asked, pulling Kaye's eyes that were wide with panic to her.

"What? I-" Kaye started, not knowing what to say as she started to look at everyone around her that was checking things.

"Your name? They didn't find any information on you when you were found."

"Kaye. My name is Kaye Sawyer. I don't understand. A hospital?"

"Don't worry Miss. Sawyer We are going to give you a mild sedative to help you stay calm and ease the pain. The police will be in shortly to explain and ask a few questions. For now, this is Dr. Semidy. He's going to be doing some basic test." The nurse explained, her voice still soft as she looked sadly at the girl.

"Hello, Miss Sawyer. I need you to listen to me." A man said, just as soft. She assumed this was Dr. Semidy as she listened to the beeping machine slow back down to the original speed. Kaye nodded before following all of the doctor's orders, lifting her hands and feet, following his finger with her eyes.

"You seem to be recovering nicely but I would like to run some more invasive test. Check your brain to be sure all the swelling is down. The police seem to be here now. If it becomes too much. Please speak up. Nurse Brooks will ask them to come back at a later date." Dr. Semidy explained, nodding to the nice lady from before.

"Okay," Kaye said, still wondering what the hell was going on. She watched as the doctor stepped out and spoke to two men in suits out in the hall. They glanced at her a few times during their conversation.

"Don't worry. I will be here with you the whole time." Nurse Brooks said with a smile. Kaye gave a weak one back before looking back at the men from before as they walked into the room.

"Hello, ma'am. I believe Dr. Semidy said your name is Kaye Sawyer?" The older man asked as the younger one took out a note pad and pen.

"Yes, sir." She responded a nodded before sitting down in a chair next to the bed.

"Well, Miss Sawyer. What is the last thing you remember?" The man asked.

"I am afraid I am a bit confused still. I don't even know what I am in the hospital for, to be honest."

The two men looked at each other for a moment before the older man repositioned himself.

"You were found in your apartment with head trauma and a knife wound in your back. Your neighbor heard something and called the police. We brought you here but we could find no information on you. Even your landlord had nothing. Do you remember why you were found like that?"

Kaye's eyes went wide at this. So she had been in the hospital for the past week almost. At least that's what this man was telling her. In the hospital due to wounds from Alex.

"Oh, gods. My dog? Is my do okay?!" Kaye asked, trying to sit up as she did so.

"Shhhh, Miss. Sawyer, you have to stay calm or these nice men will have to leave." Nurse Brooks said, softly pushing her back into the bed.

"Ma'am. We took the dog to a vet, but he passed due to complications a couple days after he was admitted. We are sorry. Do you know what happened? He seemed to have suffered knife wounds similar to the one we saw in your back."

Kaye started to hyperventilate. Draco, this couldn't be real. He was safe. Jareth healed him and he was at the castle with the goblins and Daisy. Daisy was keeping him safe for her from the war so he wouldn't be harmed. That's why she hadn't seen him in a few days. He couldn't be dead!

"I'm sorry. I am going to have to ask you to leave for today. This is too much for her after waking up so recently." Nurse Brooks said, stepping in between them. The men nodded their understanding, apologizing before leaving the room.

"Please calm down Miss. Sawyer. They have left. I am so sorry about your dog. I am sure the vets did everything they could to save him. He must have been protecting you."

Kaye stopped listening to her as she began to weep. She wasn't strong enough for this. Not strong enough to lose Draco. To lose her new friends. To lose Jareth. To lose a possible beautiful love. The nurse looked at her sadly before leaving the room, giving her time to be alone as she closed the door behind her.

"I wish the goblins would come take me away. Right now." Kaye chocked out in between sobs, knowing there was no hope to the words. Fairy Tales were meant for movies and books, not for broken women.

A/N: I know, but this had to happen. I can always come back and do a sequel when I finish school and writing my novels and planning my wedding, (all while working full time!) I just need to tie up some loose ends floating around and this is one of them. Just remember, if everything had a happy ending, where would the fun in that be? You can't be happy about something if you have never been upset at something else. Well here is your something else! I love you all and thank you for reading!
