"Jareth!" Sarah cried out in surprise and horror and then clapped her hand to her mouth. She hoped her parents were out or this would be awkward to explain. She listened and didn't hear anything. Good. Now she had to figure out what to do with the Goblin King. It was an effort, but she managed to get him into her bed. Worriedly she felt for his pulse and sighed in relief. It was faint, but unmistakably there. What was she going to do? Jareth was obviously weak with most of his magic gone, but what happened? Angrily she shook her head. Help him now, ask questions later. And boy, was he going to get an ear-full. But what to do? She wasn't a nurse and she didn't know much of anything magical. Well, she could at least make him comfortable, but she didn't want to leave him alone. Sarah could feel herself beginning to panic despite the control she had learned. Then she was struck with an idea. Jareth had said that she worked powerful magic when she let her emotions get out of control. What if she used her panic to her advantage. Experimentally she sent out a tendril of her magic to a fork downstairs and directed it to come to her room. With a little 'pop' it appeared on her desk. Delighted with her discovery she retrieved a small table, some food, a glass of water, and more utensils. She had just finished setting the food on the table when a small groan from Jareth let her know that he was regaining consciousness. "Garette," he muttered. Sarah dismissed that as rambling. "Be quiet and eat," she ordered him. "And then you are going to explain to me what happened." Jareth smirked. "I am, am I?" Yep, he was definitely awake. "Yes you are. Now eat." Jareth decided that he was too hungry to argue with Sarah at the moment and began to eat. When he was finished Sarah ordered the dishes into the sink and the table back to the dining room. Jareth's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "How did you – ," he began before Sarah cut him off. "Nuh-uh. You are explaining first." The Goblin King glared at her but complied. "Garette's not dead, Sarah. He just tried to kill me and I barely got away in time." Sarah was shocked. "But…but, that's impossible isn't it?" she pleaded. He shook his head. "I thought so too. Now, how did you do magic when we hadn't practiced any spells yet?" Sarah grimaced and told him what happened. "Interesting," he replied. "What are we going to do now?" asked Sarah. "Yes. That is the question now, isn't it?" replied Jareth.
Garette stared moodily at the blank stone wall. No matter how much he hated Jareth he was not about to enter a powerful sorceress's home unwanted. "She has too much power, that one," he said out loud into the empty room. "And such wild beauty. I can see why Jareth loves her, but he will not have her. Not if I have anything to do with it."
