Chapter 4: What Dreams Hold
Disclaimer: Again, all together now, they are not mine. But how I wish that they were.
Summary: After Jareth makes a certain proposal to Sarah, her dreams help her in making a decision.
AAARRGGHH!!! I am sorry I am posting so late, but I got backtracked with school and with the events that took place. But I am back, so you better read my stuff and review it, or I am just wasting my time. ;)

At first, Sarah felt nothing. There was just blackness around her. she felt around with her hands to find that there was nothing there. She tried to move around, but ran into a wall about three steps in front of her.
"Shit," she muttered to herself, frustrated, as she turned around and put her hands out in front of her again, only to hit another wall after about eight steps.
Trying a new technique, she put her hands against the wall, and felt her way along as she moved, being careful not to trip. When she found an opening, she smiled and moved towards it, only to fall into the blackness, screaming.
" If only there were a bunch of hands here to help me." she thought to herself as she continued to fall. She didn't scream. Her throat wouldn't allow her to. All she could do was close her eyes and wait until she stopped falling.
It wasn't until later that she realized that she had stopped falling, and had somehow landed comfortably on something soft. She looked around and realized where she was. She was sitting on Jareth's throne in his castle.
" Odd." She thought. " I don't remember even landing." As she tried to make out what had happened, she heard a voice call out, " Majesty?"
She looked over to see a small goblin standing at the base of the throne, his eyes wide, with a broken urn at his feet. "Where am I?" Sarah asked him.
" What? Of course you know where you are, Your Majesty." the goblin replied. " Is there anything wrong? I heard a crash and ran in her to find that the urn was broken, and that you were staring off into space. Are you feeling allright?"
" No, I don't feel allright." Sarah said. " I don't know how I got here. All I know is that I went to bed in my own room, and then I was in a black room, then I was falling through the darkness, and I opened my eyes and found myself here, on HIS throne."
" I can assure you that none of that could've happened, Your Majesty." The goblin said, as he moved around to clean up the broken pieces.
" What did you call me?" Sarah asked, hoping that her ears were playing tricks on her.
" I called you Your Majesty', ma'am. why?"
" I am not you queen. I never was." Sarah said, to which the goblin began laughing hysterically. " What's so funny?" She asked him, angrily.
The goblin shut up immediately and said, " I am truly sorry , Majesty, it's just that I have no idea what you are saying. All I know is that you have been married to His Majesty now for about ten years and that You have been our queen for that long, also."
" Oh great." Sarah said. " Well, where is he?" She asked him. " His Majesty is down in the village, meeting with some of the goblins. And he has taken the little ones with him."
"What little ones' ?" She asked him, fearing, what his answer would be.
" Why your children, Majesty. He would have brought you as well, but with you in your condition, he thought that it would be better if you stayed off of your feet."
" I have children? When did this happen?" She asked him.
" Well, first there was little Damien, that was about eight years ago, then there was Mikayla, she came around about four years after that, and in about another month, there will be one more addition." the goblin said, gesturing at her stomach.
Sarah looked down and saw that her once flat stomach now was a huge bulge. She brought her hand up to it, and felt a powerful kick.
" This can't be happening." She said to herself, as she brought her hands up to her head.
" Majesty, is anything the matter?" the goblin asked, but it was too late, for the Goblin Queen had already fainted.
