AN: It's short I know and probably not all that good but I've got lot of school work to do so I tried my best with only a little time.

Chapter 4

It was the day before Sarah's birthday. She was turning eighteen. Sarah tried to act normally but she just couldn't. In her mind it didn't seem right to be having a celebration, albeit a small one, so soon after her brother's death. She was interrupted from her musings however when Jareth, Goblin King came up behind her and called her name.

"Sarah? Are you in there?"

"Ah sorry Jareth, just thinking."

"It's alright love, what were you thinking about?" he said this as he causally draped an arm around her waist, Sarah moving closer to him without a thought.

"Nothing important really."

"Don't bother trying that with me Sarah. You were worlds away; you can't tell me you weren't thinking about anything important."

She sighed, and eventually decided to tell him the truth. "Alright, fine. I was just thinking about Toby. It's only been 2 weeks since he died and now I'm celebrating my eighteenth birthday. It just doesn't seem right, it doesn't seem fair."

Jareth placed a kiss on her forehead and gave her a sad smile, letting the 'not fair' pass without comment. "Sarah, there's nothing you can do now. So just enjoy your birthday. Do your parents know you will be leaving soon?"

"Yes, I told them last night. They said that they understand. I didn't tell them I was going with you though, I just said I would be moving out and going to live with a friend."

"They took it well?"

"Didn't seem to mind too much. I think they want to move away from here anyway. Too many memories, and I agree. So we'll be going soon then?"

"When you're ready Sarah. And I love you."

"You too Jareth. Well I think I might go and read for a while. I suppose you have to go see to your kingdom then?"

"Yes I probably should. Enjoy your nap Sarah."

"I'm not-"

"Yes you are, you're tired, I can tell. So go on and get some rest. I'll be back later."

He kissed her and transformed into a white barn own, flying out her bedroom window.
