"I'm not sure if I want to go to the underground with you." Sarah finally exclaimed. It was not at all like she thought she would say when she was actually asked to be with him. She saw sadness covering his eyes while she made her statement.
"I was wrong, you do not love me, do you?" He said, while not able to look her in the eye.
"No, it's not that. I do love you. It's just that I really don't know anything about you, except that your the goblin king and you enjoyed torturing me when I was younger. Okay, it wasn't actually torture, but you know what I mean. I want to get to know you and to say it frankly, I don't want to leave this realm, I love living here. My home is here and as much as I love you, I don't want to leave my home." the dark haired woman finally said.
She looked at him and saw a glint of happyness into his eyes. And as the seconds almost felt like an eternity, he finally spoke: "This brings me hope, you do love me. I do not want to leave you again. Ten years apart was like hell to me. I'm not going to let this happen again. But living above gorund would probably kill me, I have a hard enough time trying to stay like this for a few minutes. So I offer you this. You come and stay with me for a month and if you still want to go home, you will be free to leave whenever you wish. Please just give it a chance."
"Okay, I will give it a chance. But what about my responsabilities here? I can't just up and leave." sarah looked worried. "Don't worry, I will take care of it, when you do decide to leave the underground, you will be back here at the same time you left. No time what so ever will have passed. I will come for you this evening. No need to pack, I have everything you need at my castle, clothes and all."
Then Jareth took her hand into his and kissed her knuckles gently before turning into an owl again and flying off.
---------------------------------
A/N I know short chapters, I am not the one who writes long chapters. I have some thoughts about how to proceed further. You shoudl know that I'm a big fan of medievil customs and clothing, just love it, so expect much of that in the next chapters.
Also thanks to Labyric and Born-of-elven-blood for the reviews. It's those that keep me going.
