Sorry for not up-dating much, but I am not at school and not on the computer that I love so much. , but I will try to do more as I can.

That night Sarah slept better than she had in a very long time. The rising of the sun did not wake here, it actually took several attempts for Edana, the woman assigned to her, to try and wake her. "Child you must wake up."

"Just a few more minuets more." Sarah sleepily replied.

"No more, it is after ten." Finally fed up with this, Edana pulled the blankets off of the sleeping child.

Sarah finally came to the realization that this wasn't the room she grew up and that the woman waking her was not her step mother. "I'm sorry for behaving like that, I felt like a child back at home. I haven't slept so well in a long time. I feel bad, I do not know you name."

"It is alright, I am Edana, and King Jareth assigned me to take care of you. You seemed so out of it last night so I let you sleep in a little later than normal. I got you a dress from Lisa, she is another servant, so it isn't as nice as a lady like you should be wearing, but I can't let you walk around in that revealing attire. I can't believe you let his majesty see you in such revealing clothing. You must bathe first and then I shall dress you and take you to eat something."

"I am hungry. Could I get something sooner?"

"Of course. I will send for a servant to bring you some fruit. Now it is time to go off to the baths."

"Um…where is the bath? I found no other door."

Edana smiled, wondering if she should inform the girl of which room she was staying it, well now seemed as good as any. If Edana did not tell her, she would learn it from one of the servants. "The bath is in his majesties chambers. This room is more of a formality than for function."

"What do you mean?"

"This is the queen's chambers; the bath is in the kings."

"Why am I in the queen's chambers? Shouldn't the queen be in here?"

"We have not had a queen since the last one died; his majesty has yet to marry."

"Are you telling me that he put me in the room that is meant for his wife?"

"Yes."

Edana watched the fury in Sarah's eyes. She wanted to avoid the conformation that would occur when Sarah found Jareth later that day. "Come child, you must bathe."

The bath took Sarah's breath away and made her forget her fury with Jareth and just be in awe. It was unlike anything she had ever seen and could only hope to see in her dreams. It was not so much a tube as it was a magical pond with a fountain and rose petals floating on the surface. Sarah removed her gown and crawled into the water, which felt so amazingly warm and perfect. There was a multitude of soaps and Sarah didn't quite know which to chose, so she picked a bottle at random. It smelled of apples and fall and made Sarah feel happy and she felt as though she could get lost in the scents. It was with regret that she finally climbed out of the bath and began to dress and ate the peaches and strawberries brought for her.

After she was dressed Edana took her through the castle and to a door leading out. "I must leave you here Lady Sarah. I cannot enter his majesties gardens, but you are to eat lunch with him out there." And with that Edna left Sarah staring at the door to the gardens deciding whether or not to grace Jareth with her presence or to find her way out of this place for good.
