Disclaimer: Once again, I own nothing but Mary Jo, the plot, and Jareth's
father, Herman.
A/N: I would like to thank all those who have reviewed. Thank you once
again.
Jareth was in his throne room, feeling very much disturbed. He had been so sure that Sarah had wanted him back, but now she was acting like she had years before. Was she no longer interested in him like he thought she was? Was that longing to talk to him just some kind of fluke or something? A loud banging on his bedroom door interrupted his thoughts.
"What?" he barked.
"Jareth!!" came a deep voice. Oh no, thought Jareth. It was his father, Herman. What was it he wanted this time?
"Come in," growled Jareth. The door flew open and Herman walked in, his face a red deeper than that of a rose.
"What is this I hear? You went to her HOUSE? How dare you go near that girl after I distinctly warned you not to! This is absolutely horrific. You are on your way to being completely rubbed off our family tree for good."
"Fine, father!" Jareth growled. "Thank you very much. Now, I no longer have to worry about being under your control." Jareth could not control himself. For as long as he could remember, his father had been completely controlling his life and everything that he did. And for the first time in a long time, he felt that he was finally free from the clutch of darkness. He told his father all this, and was not surprised to see his father's head explode. Herman was so angry; he almost had smoke blowing out of his ears. This, oddly enough, caused Jareth to smile instead of grow scared.
"You are now out of our lives forever. You shall never be near us, see us, or even speak to us until you are ready and willing to give me a full apology and admit that you are wrong!" He began to walk out when Jareth stopped him.
"What if she said she did not want me?" he asked. "What if she were to tell me to get lost, in a nut shell?" Herman thought for a moment, never looking at his son.
"Then, I would come back and try to make amends with you. If she does accept you, then I will stand by what I said today. You will be permanently rubbed off of the family tree. I will deny you as my son and as my son. As well as any children that you should have." And with that, he stormed out of the room.
