Jareth pondered her question; it had been bugging him all night. He so desperately wanted her to stay with him. There was something about her that made him curious and strangely happy at the same time. Sarah was a new puzzle to him and one that he so wanted to figure out and then work it out again. Jareth still wondered how she got here and had planned a visit to his sister's and planned on taking Sarah with him. It was his sister's fault that she was here, that Jareth was almost sure of.
The trip would be within a week and Jareth had yet to tell Sarah. He had informed his sister and was having his servant prepare Sarah's and his things for the up coming trip. They would go by carriage along the protected roads to get to his sister's. He had to prepare Sarah for what was coming up and part of that preparation was giving her the pendent to protect her.
Jareth had the feeling that his sister had given the ring to the young girl so that her daughter would return with it, she most likely didn't expect their mother's ring to be in the mortal world for so long. He would need to take the ring with him to his sister's so that the power could be used to trap the Nightmare once more. Jareth felts that things would go smoother with his sister if the thing threatening her for years was gone.
Sarah let Jareth's room in a hurry, she couldn't handle his response. She didn't know what it would be, but her question feared her. Being here was so odd. It was nice to see her old friends again, but things felt so different now. It had to be more than the Underground that caused these new feelings within her. It was because of these new scary feelings that Sarah wanted to be in her old room in her old house with Lancelot in her arms. She even wanted to play with Toby, with what he was like as a baby. It had been over a year since she saw Toby, he was big now and doing so well in school. They turned out to be total opposite, she was arts and he was science. The one thing they had in common was that they both loved books. Before she left home, Sarah use to take Toby to the book store with her and they would spend hours just reading, each in their own section, but they were together.
Sarah never had any luck with men, most of the guys she hung with were gay. So that was one of the reasons that she had no idea with what to do. It was most likely due to Jareth that Sarah's thoughts kept jumping around and she couldn't figure. Sarah knew that she needed to get some sleep and she wasn't going to do that thinking about Jareth and how good he looked. She recalled how it felt when he held her hand, the way his skin felt against hers. The day had been so perfect that Sarah could hardly wait until tomorrow to see what is brought. She changed into her night clothes, they were one of the first things that had arrived at the castle, insuring that she should be able to sleep in the finest the kingdom had to offer. The nightgown was silk and felt cool on her hot skin. A servant arrived in her room shortly after she had changed and gave her a glass of wine to help her sleep. It wasn't long after she climbed under the sheets that she was asleep.
Jareth ordered for one of his servants to bring Sarah a glass of wine to settle her and he added a small sleep spell so that she would get the rest she needed for her knew that the next day would be a lot for her to take in. He stepped outside on to his balcony with his evening cup of brandy and just admired the view. There was something special about the Labyrinth at night, it was never the same. That was part of its magic, it was this magic that he wanted to share with Sarah and let her know about it all. He was hoping that the magic of the Labyrinth and that of the Underground would entice Sarah enough to where she would stay and stay with him.
