Chapter 3

It was the day of the funeral. Toby had been dead a week and it had also been a week since the Goblin King came back into Sarah's life.

Sarah sat on her bed waiting for her father to call her down to leave. That wouldn't happen for at least another half hour but she had nothing else to do. Nothing but wait.

Jareth had left early in the morning to go back Underground to make sure that everything was running smoothly, or as smoothly as things can go in a kingdom of goblins. He would be back soon she knew, he had promised but for now she was alone.

Sarah was dressed simply in a black knee length dress with long sleeves. She also wore black heels and had a black coat for when they were at the cemetery.

She sat there thinking about her brother, the things they had done together and the things that Toby would never be able to do. She felt the tears well up in her eyes but only let them fall for a few minutes before wiping her eyes and putting her stony mask back in place.

Soon enough Jareth appeared before her.

"Hello love, how are you holding up?" he sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"As well as can be expected I suppose," she settled into the embrace, letting Jareth's warmth penetrate and warm her within.

He kissed her forehead and spoke again. "Do you want to go downstairs or stay here a little longer?"

"I'll stay here until they call me down. I know that you can't come with me but can you meet me there?"

"Of course I will Sarah, I'll be there for you."

"Thank you Jareth."

Then they both heard Richard calling to his daughter to come downstairs so they could leave.

'---,--'---,--

The ceremony went well, all of their family and friends had shown up as well as some of the teachers from the day care Toby attended once a week. There were a lot of tears for the loss of the child and Sarah cried with them. Jareth never left her side and offered all the comfort he could.

'---,---'---,--

It was night now, and Sarah's father and step mother were asleep.

Sarah lay on her bed with Jareth beside her.

"Jareth?"

"Yes love."

"When will it stop hurting?" She knew she had asked a similar question before, but she couldn't help it. She just wanted the pain to fade.

Jareth sighed but answered. "It won't stop Sarah, only lessen. I don't know when the loss of your brother will begin to stop hurting but one day it will."

She moved closer to him and Jareth held her close.

"Jareth?"

"Yes Sarah."

"When can we go back Underground?"

"When would you like to?" He couldn't help but smile, knowing that she would be returning to the Underground with him.

"Soon. The funeral is over and I don't really have any reason to stay here now."

"Sarah don't you want to stay and finish school?"

"Not really, but I suppose I should, there's only two weeks left, all the exams are over. I guess I should stay until my birthday anyway, I don't think dad would be too happy if I left home a week before my eighteenth birthday."

"You're right, well in two weeks, once you finish school, you can come back with me. Is that alright?"

She kissed him gently for a moment and then pulled away. "That would be wonderful."

AN: What do you think? Let me know how I'm doing.
