Chapter Fourteen

Author's note: This chapter is dedicated to (bum bum bum!!!) Hippie99. Since A. I like hippies and B. she sends such groovy reviews (not that you other guys don't or anything -)

"Hello hon," Karen smiled. Oh no, I thought this is BAD. VERY VERY BAD.

"Karen?" I choked "how?" Karen's smile was almost enough answer for me, this wasn't a good thing.

"Didn't you know?" she asked "I mean, you're the dreamer, your supposed to KNOW these things…right?" I didn't say anything. "Ah well," she shrugged "in a nut shell, I am the Fairy Queen."

"Oh yeah," I nodded "those sweet little things that bite." She sighed and looked at Elaine as if they were discussing something. "I'm so confused…" I muttered under my breath.

"Welcome to my world," Jareth breathed and I looked up at him. He gave a dry smile and looked back at the two dimwits mentally discussing their next move. "What exactly happened?" Both Karen and Elaine looked at us and I looked around nervously.

"Tu y mi frignitalys," I muttered and his eyes widened some. Elaine and Karen laughed among themselves for a moment. Jareth started speaking rapidly to me, asking me a million questions and I sighed. "I only know a little bit," I admitted and he nodded.

"Oh," Elaine started and I gave a loud obnoxious sigh "Jareth, this GIRL put a spell on you to make you fall in love with her."

"Yeah," I muttered "because that's my mission in life."

"She split you into two personalities," she lied though her teeth "one good and the other bad so she could keep you under her power."

"Everyone knows it," I shrugged dryly.

"She only wanted you for your title and power," she gushed and this is where I drew the line.

"WAIT," I snapped "you can go on and lie and say I put a spell on him, which makes no sense because I DON'T KNOW MAGICK. You can lie and say that I wanted power over him which might possibly be true if I happen to be on speed. But if your going to knock me down to YOUR level, at least leave him out of it."

"I think I'd better just take her home," Karen nodded "we can take her to a nice mental hospital and…" I looked around helplessly, this was getting very bad very quickly. Karen was a fae queen, this Elaine girl was trying to make it seem like I was trying to hurt Jareth and he couldn't remember anything that'd happened.

"No," Jareth shook his head and all three of us looked at him.

"Now Jareth-" Elaine started but he narrowed his eyes and she went quiet.

"She doesn't know magick," he nodded "and I know her well enough that she wouldn't want to go and do something stupid like draw me out for no apparent reason. But until I remember what happened, or someone provides adequate proof, she will stay in my castle."
