Chapter Thirteen: Tears and Spells
The pain, that was all she knew. Not just the shock of attempted rape, or the fact that the rapist had been her old love, but everything. The world twisted and spun and finally collapsed on her. All her agony that she had been holding back year after year came after her with a vengeance, each a crushing blow that she could hardly stand. The fact that her father hated her from the moment he knew that she would have great power. The thought that she had no friends whom understood her. The knowledge that, not only did she have an evil side, she couldn't indulge it. The truth of being turned against her will and that no one cared. The feeling that she had when she realized the one man that she loved and still loves would never come back. The reality of the thing that she was, a monster. The pain of her brother's betrayal… the list that went on and on in her head, brought the memories back, making the pain raw. The pain was so great, it made her body shake until finally, it was released in small drops of truth that ran down her cheeks. And it hurt, oh, by the Beings Who Made Us it hurt…
…And here she was, crying, for the first time in a long time, to the man that had made her the monster that she was, who indulged her, who understood… and yet… this all seemed planned.
But it hurt to think, she was weak, so weak, and… -wait- why was she so weak?
Her sobs slowed then and gradually stopped. She looked up at Gavinn, gazed into his eyes, and she knew… she KNEW that he had something to do with this…
"What," her voice came out a choked whisper, so she cleared her throat and tried again. "What did you do to me?"
He pulled back so he could look at her fully, then finally turned his gaze back to her eyes. "Just a drug spell, my dear. It will wear off after the vows are spoken. Just to ensure my side of the deal. You understand."
A new spark of hate glinted in her eyes, which burned brighter when she saw his shiver of pleasure. Her mismatched eyes, now tinted red, would have made any lesser man back off in fear. "You put a spell on me? It practically got me raped! And yet, you don't trust me? And what, pray tell, -exactly- is your precious, little spell doing to me?"
He winced slightly, but hid it quickly. "It drains your physical energy. It also limits your power to do great spells until tomorrow night m'afraid." He got up, standing tall and looking down on her.
She sat up straight and looked at him, defiance still clear in her eyes. "I don't like that you don't trust me, if I am to be your wife then-"
He broke, "I don't like you defying me! And you have before, no longer!" He created a black crystal and started to roll it across his arms. "If you break our little deal, here's a taste of what's to come. Sweet dreams." He snarled, tossing the crystal at her.
On instinct she caught the crystal, and regretted it immediately. Her body slumped, now unconscious, but her eyes moved rapidly beneath their lids. Her light whimpers told Gavinn that she was seeing the dreams of torture and rape, hearing the pained screams ripping not only from her throat, but from Sarah's and Jareth's, as well.
Gavinn sighed and shook his head. He really wished things were easier between them. He did love her after all, couldn't she just love him back? Slipping her carefully between the sheets, he kissed her forehead, taking away the nightmares.
"Sleep well, my love." And he left.

Down in the dungeons thoughts of escape were brewing, but the guards were more intelligent than he had assumed…
CS: **coughs** Well, I hope you enjoyed. Please review… **sniffle**
Jareth: **hands her a tissue and puts his arm around her** Don't worry, you'll get better soon.
CS: Thank you, Jareth. **hugs him** Oh, and No I'm not enlarging your closet in your dressing room.
Jareth: **facade drops** WHAT!
CS: Nice try Jareth.
Jareth: But… But…
CS: Yes, we all know you have one. Now get out, before I decide to kill you in the fiction!
**Jareth leaves in a hurry**
CS: **sighs** Would I really do that, you ask? Well… you never know, until you read!
