Hey guys! Hopefully this post will appear the way it should and not get all
mutilated like the last post I tried to make :P. Anyways, here is the next
brand spankin' NEW chapter. Woohoo! As for all the couple questions, I
could be coy, but I will tell you this, romance between characters from the
different universes is not gonna happen as my mind is programmed for only
certain couples to get together. ;)
Thanks for all of your wonderful comments. Keep them up, please? :o)

The sunlight which Jareth had been basking in moments before was darkened and quickly was gone, the torches in the throne room flickered faintly allowing the foursome to see vague shadowy outlines. Spike vamped out in an effort to see better. He looked over to the window, instead of some dark cloud or something along those lines (Goodyear Blimp, let'' say) he could back out hundreds of flying figures. It was alike a swarm of people.
"Bloody Hell?!"
"What is it William?" Jareth asked, already fearing that he knew what it was.
"It is like hundreds of people sized insects." Spike walked closer to the window to see if he could make them out better. Jareth closed his eyes in thought, unconsciously pulling Sarah into an even tighter embrace. Buffy was still braced against a pillar, her wide eyes taking in the dull images that were being presented to her. Spike's hazy silhouette against the darkened window, the figures of the Goblin King and Xander's cousin.
"Xander is never going to let me take care of anything again. One simple thing, and I end up in like the Twilight Zone, figures, this is so my life." She ranted to herself. Jareth blinked himself out of his thoughts, a plan of action in mind. Taking Sarah's hand within his own gloved one he strode to the entrance way to the Escher room.
"Follow me," he barked back at Buffy and Spike. The two ran as best they could, with the still shaking ground, to the stairs.
Sarah was surprised to find herself back in the Escher room. Not only that but it seemed completely unaffected by the attack that was rocking the rest of the castle. Jareth waited for the Slayer and the Vampire to arrive, they managed to ricochet in, Buffy barely managed to stop herself from falling off of a ledge as she ran in though, having not expected the floor to end so abruptly. Once they were all safely within. Jareth waved his hand at the doorway, it slowly became another staircase, heading off to seemingly nowhere.
"Follow me," Jareth barked he tugged Sarah in behind him, her hand still firmly in his grasp.
Buffy followed behind Spike, not willing to find out what it had been he had seen in the sky.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"This is it William, lad. You can't turn back now."
"I wasn't going to sir. I have to get home." The monarch stood with the child on the hill that overlooked his vast kingdom, the slythy paths that lay ahead were not easy for anyone, let alone someone who barely could tie his own shoes.
"William," Jareth kneeled. "This is hard for one so young, but you are alone now."
"I know, that is why I have to do this."
"No, my boy, you don't. Your family is no longer where you left them."
"Then I mustn't waste any time, I will have to find them after I finish this." Jareth shook his head, there was no getting through to this child, he saw no use in giving the child more grief than necessary. It was best to let him concentrate on the task at hand.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ That's it for now. More to come before too long, hopefully. Reviews do spur me on and pick up the pace though ;)
