More Truth and Family
By Silver Space
Sarah shrank back against Jareth, who kept his arm around her protectively
"What do you want Jared?" Jareth said the anger was evident in his voice.
"Just wondering were our star initiate went to."
At this point Sarah had gotten her old courage back "I was tired and Jareth was kind enough to walk me back." Sarah squared her shoulders "Now if you will be so kind as to leave us." She had that dangerous glint to her eyes and Jareth smiled inside, so his Sarah was not lost at all just hiding.
"Then I shall take my leave." He bowed slightly "See you in class Sarah" and he vanished
Jareth raised his eyebrows "class?"
"Well it appears your not he only one interested in theater from the Underground."
"If I had know he was here I would have sent word with Hoggle."
Sarah looked at him curiously
"Yes I knew that Hoggle came to see you and if needed he would deliver a message for me."
"Oh." Said Sarah and she relaxed against Jareth and they continued to her dorm in silence. At the edge of the woods Sarah spoke
"Jareth, tell me about your family."
"Well my sister is about 200 years older than me and married to a duke she fell in love with from a neighboring kingdom. When I was born it didn't look like I would live long. I was a very sick child and with my sisters marriage she was promised the throne. I lived however and challenged my sister for the right when it came time to pass down the crown. The challenge was the Labyrinth that we played in as children. Who ever could get through in the fastest time won. I made it through in half the time. My sister took it well she was happy in her marriage." Jareth stopped speaking as they came to the main part of campus.
"What's wrong?" Sarah asked
"Too many ears."
"Oh, come on up to my room. I don't have a roommate."
Soon they were in Sarah's room seated on her bed. Sarah had a throw pillow hugged to her chest.
"Now were was I?" Jareth commented to himself
"Your sister had lost the challenge and was going back to her husband."
"Yes, my sister took it well but her son was another matter. He has always been a power hungry brat who was not satisfied with being a duke. I have heard about him plotting to get my throne for years now."
"So Jared just wants to be a greedy king and use any means necessary to do it." Sarah said casually. Jareth nodded. "What dose his mother have to say about this?"
"She has not been in the court of the Fae for about 50 years now and left Jared in charge of the dukedom."
"I will keep my eye on him."
"Sarah I want you to have this." A small crystal necklace formed in his hand "If you ever get into trouble I will know."
"I could get into more trouble than the Labyrinth?" Sarah asked questioningly but moved her hair as Jareth put on the necklace."
"When my nephew has almost equal power to myself, yes." Jareth whispered in her ear. And rested his hands on her shoulders.
"Thanks Jareth, I know your just concerned." Sarah turned round to face him, his face mere inches from hers. The last time he looked at her like this had been in the ballroom as they danced.
Jareth slowly leaned toward Sarah and kissed her gently. To his surprise she responded, slowly opening her lips to his gentle probing. Sarah ended up against the wall wrapping her arms around Jareth's neck deepening the kiss. Slowly they parted.
"Be safe Sarah." And Jareth vanished.
Sarah slept with pleasant drams that night. The next morning Sarah smiled and was completely happy when she awoke, still able to feel Jareth's kiss on her lips.
After she was dressed she called on Hoggle.
"Hey ya Sarah." He greeted
"Hey Hoggle things are going great here how about yourself?" Sarah said and plopped on the bed her necklace caught the light and Hoggle's attention.
"Sarah, were ya get that necklace?"
"From Jareth last night. He said it was for protection against his nephew."
"Sarah, the only person who can were that there necklace is the ones whos to be Queen of the Underground.."
"What!" Sarah said very upset now
"That's whats I'd been told." Hoggle replied quietly
"Jareth didn't tell me any of this!"
"Did he umm kiss ya last night by any chance?" Hoggle asked effectively distracting Sarah from her thoughts.
"Yes, why?"
"Well, it was a special night last night and ifs a fae kisses someone on a night like last, that's the person theys to marry." Hoggle explained
Sarah looked at him shocked "Hoggle I'll talk with you later all right I need to figure out some things."
Hoggle disappeared and Sarah started to pace and think.
About ten minuets later Sarah knew that all the answers would come from one person and one person only.
"JARETH!!!!!"
