Chapter 5 The Diary
The next day Sarah happened to come across a dark, midnight blue book with stars and moons glittering across it, she opened the book and saw familiar handwriting; it was her mother's. Written in the cover was Anna Elizabeth. She opened the book to the first page and gasped, it was the day her mother had left her and her father.
Dear Diary,
This is the first page of what I hope will fill your pages and one day be handed down to my darling daughter, Sarah. Today I chose to leave because my body was dying in the mortal world, she never knew who I was- Aarius of the elves, my powers were becoming less and less in the real world, I've given her the red book just as it had always been planned, and returned to my own world, also as she does not realize her father is a mortal wizard of sorts and she draws her power from the both of us, I've seen what she can do when she is angry enough, her powers are greater than my own… though my life will not last more than two years here in the underground I hope that I can get this written in time…in 13 years the underground will end, and in that time she and the king must fall in love, or their selfishness will destroy their home, yes I consider this place, the underground, Sarah's true home because it is where she draws her power, as it dies then so shall she, even if the other creatures manage to escape, her life force is one with this world… So Sarah, whenever you get to read this remember- Beware the purple moon, it will kill you if you don't manage to save your home.
Sarah flipped to the last entry, tears filled her eyes as she read it:
Dear Diary,
My condition has slowly grown worse over the past year and I fear my life will end soon, my sight grows darker by the hour, I just want Sarah to know that I love her and-
At the last part in the diary it was obvious that her mother had died before she could write down what she wanted to say. Fury filled Sarah, Jareth, you asshole mother fucking liar! She thought, you lied about my mother's death; I will never forgive you for this- ever. Sarah hid the diary in a drawer and lay down in exhaustion, even though she had just had nine hours of sleep, her battered body needed rest, she was soon deep in a dreamless sleep.
It's kind of strange getting two chapters out in one day- but I remembered a question somebody asked about how Jareth knew about Sarah's mom… and this idea just popped into my head… so R&R plz.
