HEY EVERYONE! I AM WRITING THIS AS A CONGRATULATION GIFT TO MYSELF… I GOT ACCEPTED INTO HARFORD TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL! I AM SO HAPPY! IF I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO TO JOPPATOWN… ALL HELL WOULD HAVE BROKEN LOOSE!
WELL HERES THE CHAPTER!
The food was brought out and everyone started to eat, except Sarah. The pain had come back from her corset and she didn't think that it could hold it. Sierra wasn't helping things by flaunting herself to Jareth.
Jareth was purposely being extra flirty with Sarah just to get to Sierra. The small things such as hand holding, pecks on the cheek, compliments and things like that seemed to bother her the most, so Jareth did them most. Sierra decided that it was time to take another shot at Sarah.
"So Sarah, are you a virgin?" Sierra asked. Sarah laughed and nodded. "Well, not for much longer! As soon as you marry him, it's all over!" Sierra said throwing her hands in the air. Sarah felt a tap on her leg and found Natalia holding yet another ex-lax.
"Where are you getting these?" Sarah asked aloud. Natalia just smiled.
"I don't need them, but you know how my mom is. She packs everything."
"What does she have, love?" Jareth asked her.
"Oh! German chocolates." Sarah answered with a wink. Jareth wasn't sure about this so he decided to ask her.
What are you planning? He mentally sent to her.
You'll see. Just don't eat these! Sarah thought back. "Would you like one?" Sarah asked Sierra.
"Oh, thank you!" Sierra said eating the crap-pill. "Would you excuse me?" She said jumping up from the table. Sarah and Natalia were almost dying from holding in their laughter.
Soon dinner was over and everyone was leaving. Nobody noticed that Kaylin and Heathen weren't at dinner, but that they were alone together.
Kaylin and Heathen-
Kaylin had finally stopped laughing about something Heathen had said. She never realized it, but Heathen was a smart, polite, sweet, and very funny man, which was very hard to find among the fae. She had been so caught up with Morlin that she never really noticed all of Heathen's qualities.
"So, it's completely over between you and Morlin?" He asked her.
"Yeah. I'm glad. He was such a jerk. All he wanted was to make an heir so he could take over Jareth's kingdom." She said bitterly. "Why do you ask?"
"I was wondering," he started, "if you would, allow me, to court you."
Kaylin answered him by throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him. She always knew there was an attraction between them, but was always with Morlin.
Jareth and Sarah-
Everyone wanted to get out of their ball clothes so they all went to their rooms. After about 10 minutes, Sarah heard a knock at her door. "Come in!" she called.
When Jareth opened the door, she smiled. "Hey." She greeted him. She was wearing black cotton pajama bottoms with stars on them and a black tank top.
"Hello Sarah." He came in and sat down on the bed, Sarah did the same, except she flopped down. He heard her stomach growl softly. "You must be hungry, I noticed you didn't eat at dinner."
"Yeah, I was afraid the corset might bust. The feel of it came back when I was singing and square dancing with Natalia." She said with a little less than a smile.
"You should have told me, I would have taken care of it for you." Jareth said putting a hand on her stomach.
"I don't want to bother you."
"Sarah, you could never bother me. I never want you to hide anything from me, ever." He told her, almost angrily. Sarah nodded. "Would you like something to eat?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I am really hungry." Jareth then formed a crystal, whispered something into it, and threw it at the wall. Sarah closed her eyes ready for it to smash, but she heard nothing. "Where'd it go?" she asked.
"To the kitchen." He replied. "What did you think I did with it?" he asked with a smirk. Sarah didn't say anything.
"Jareth, how old are you?" she asked in an attempt to change the subject.
"Trying to change the subject? Well, I am about 6 million." Sarah's jaw dropped and Jareth laughed. "No, I'm 32. You see Sarah, when a fae reaches their prime, they stay that way forever. When I turned 30, which was my prime."
"Is that 32 in my years?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Yes. I am 32 in aboveground years."
"Thank god! No offence, but it would have been kind of weird if you were some odd thousand years old."
"None taken." As he said this, the food was brought up to Sarah's room. She and Jareth ate it together and within an hour that seemed more like 5 minutes, they were finished.
For a few more hours they talked until they both faded off to sleep.
4 hours later-
Jareth awoke to Sarah thrashing around in her bed. He was immediately up and trying to wake her.
"Sarah, Sarah wake up." He whispered softly into her ear. Her eyes flew open and she gasped at seeing Jareth above her.
"Oh Jareth, thank god." She said throwing her arms around his neck.
"Shhh, it was only a dream. It's over now."
"God it was horrible. I kept on seeing Robert telling me about that girl and his affair. Then I would run out into the woods. I fell through the ice and was drowning. I couldn't call for you because I was underwater. It felt so real." She said crying into his shirt.
"It was only a dream. Say it." He said laying her back down into the soft and warm bed sheets. She said it as Jareth wrapped his arms around her waist, which formed a type of shelter from all the outside evils of her life. Sarah's crying stopped and soon she was asleep again. Jareth pushed back a few stray strands of hair away from her face and looked at her. How he loved this young, beautiful, sweet woman. He would do anything to make her happy and keep her safe.
