Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I have just had some personal issues I am going though and after my bf and I broke up I really did not feel like writing at all for awhile.

Sarah and Jareth had an adjoining sitting room with a balcony in the Cahria's castle. They were together in the sitting room not quite ready for bed. "Your sister is very beautiful Jareth."

He seemed to be amused by her observation, "You don't know her like I do."

"Why don't you trust her?"

"She betrayed me Sarah; it is as simple as that."

"Why do I get the feeling that it isn't?"

"Drop it Sarah, I do not wish to discuss her betrayal of me."

"Who was her first husband?"

"He was Gavin's brother, someone just as power crazed as she was."

"Gavin, that is your sister's current husband, how did the last one die?"

Jareth walked over the couch in the room and patted the place next to him, motioning for Sarah to sit down. "Sarah, we cannot talk of this. It is dangerous in the Underground to speak of such things. Our would in not like yours, I do not wish to cause fear of something in a realm where an evil creature feeds off of it. Just know that my sister's first husband was so evil and power hungry that even she feared him, but she did not kill him."

"If your sister feared him so then why did she marry him?"

"She didn't have a choice. The marriage was arranged to created a treaty between the two kingdoms. Cahria was chosen to marry him because of her thirst for powers, it was a sort of punishment for her."

"That is awful."

"It is how things are done down here." As Jareth was saying this a strange emotion play across his face for just a second. He then got up and walked out to the balcony and looked over the city. Sarah soon joined him out side.

"Jareth, what is it."

"It dose not concern you Sarah."

"But it might help if you talk about it."

"I was just now reminded of my wife."

"Oh."

"She died a long time ago; it was also an arranged marriage."

"Did you love her?"

"I never knew her."

Sarah had a puzzled look on her face and Jareth glanced over and saw it. "We did meet, but she died just a few days after the wedding. I was not really upset about it. As horrible as this may sound I was relieved. I did not want to be married and not to her."

"How did she die?"

"She died in child birth."

"Wait, I thought you said you didn't know her."

"I didn't, it was the child of a friend of mines. The woman was, I believe the term in your world is loose."

"Oh."

"I did not keep the child. I gave him as a gift to his father, another way to create a bond and to keep his wife from getting suspicious about why she was suddenly receiving a son."

"You seem a good man."

"I am not always the villain in the story Sarah."

"I see that now, well actually I saw it a long time ago. I just was afraid and unsure as to calling you and telling you I knew you wanted more than the child and you did all I asked of you."

"It is good to know that you've grown up Sarah."

"I think you noticed that a while ago."

Jareth smirked at her and Sarah gazed out over the city once more. She was right, he had noticed that she had grown up and had admired her beauty as well. Sarah glanced over at Jareth as if to say something about the view, but she was mezmirized by the look in his eyes. Her mouth was parted in awe as Jareth leaned down and their lips met. It was a sweet and short kiss, Sarah didn't know what to say or do when he pulled away from her. Jareth ran a gloved hand though her hair, "goodnight Sarah." With that he turned and walked away from her into his room. Sarah stood there for a while before she lifted her finger to her lips and just simply smiled.

Once in his room Jareth found himself pacing and upset with himself. "I shouldn't have kissed her, but it felt so right. I will not fall for her again. She left me before and she will do it again." But Jareth that it was already too late, he had fallen for the girl once more and knew that she would break his heart again.
