Disclamer: Once again I own nothing, sadly.
Sarah looked around at the room she had been led to and at the servant who led her there. She looked to be a human in her mid thirties or so. "The bath is in there and I will get your measurements tomorrow so that you can have some proper clothes. Until that time I will bring up one of the girls clothing, you look about Lisa's size."
"Um…thank you. I don't mean to be rude but what are you. I can tell that you aren't a goblin or a dwarf, but you don't seem like a fae either."
The woman just smiled, "I am a human dear child. I have been in his majesties service for several years. It must be difficult for you, I don't think I've ever seen one your age before."
"One what?"
"A wished away, an unwanted child."
"But I wasn't wished away."
"Hmm…that is odd, Cahira said something about this."
"Who?"
"Oh never mind dear child, you need to go to bed. I have the feeling that tomorrow will be a long day and you will need plenty of rest."
With that the servant left and Sarah was alone. She had time now to get a better look at her surroundings. This room almost seemed to fit her, it wasn't like her room back home but in a way it was better. There was a huge bed that was draped in royal purple and blues. The furniture also included a vanity, an armoire, and a chest. There were three sets of doors in the room. The first one Sarah knew to be leading to his majesties chambers, the second she discovered led to a hallway, but it was the third that took her breath away. It was a balcony overlooking the labyrinth and a small garden right out side her window. She could smell the magic in the air and suddenly just the ability to be back here made dealing with his royal pain worth it.
Jareth was fuming at Sarah and her actions toward him. He was going to have to teach her to respect him as a king. Now he was wondering what he ever saw in her and why she seemed to haunt his dreams and his thoughts. She was more beautiful then he imagined. Nothing had prepared him for that moment when he saw her, it seemed that time stood still, he had prayed that this was not a trick of the fates or a dream. She was here and she was spiteful and a pain, but she was here in his labyrinth sleeping in the next room. This was too much, he needed some fresh air.
Jareth stepped out onto his balcony overlooking the labyrinth and listened to the sounds of the night. It was not long before he heard the doors to the balcony next to him open and he watched Sarah emerge from her room. The very site of her took his breath away, the way she seemed to glow in the moonlight. Jareth wished that he could hold this simple moment for all time. There was no way she could know of his presence there, for he had perfect night vision and she didn't. He watched her intake of breath when she saw the view from her room. She leaned over the railing to look at his private garden down below them. She looked so happy and peaceful, so content. Sarah looked how Jareth felt just watching her. "She belongs here." He heard himself whisper, she seemed to hear something as well for she looked over at his balcony and saw only an owl out for an evening flight. Sarah closed up her robe and went in for the evening and Jareth feared going to sleep for he knew he would dream of her.
