Still own nothing, sadly….

Jareth found Sarah in the garden, it seemed to be her new sanctuary and he just stood there for a while as she stared off into the reflecting pool. She looked so beautiful sitting there thinking about something, he wished he could know what was in her mind. Almost as though sensing his presence she looked up at him and smile. Taking that as his cue he walked over to her and sat down next to her.

"Hello Jareth, it is so beautiful here. I know I will miss it."

"What makes you so sure that you will want to leave?"

"Jareth why wouldn't I?"

"Sarah, I need to tell you something, well several things in fact."

"Why do I have the feeling that this isn't going to be something good?"

"You are changing, becoming fae. The longer that you stay in the Underground the more you change and you will get powers, but after a point, you will not be able to return to your home."

"Oh, how much time do I have?"

"Not long, just a few more days."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I didn't know how to, I figured that what ever brought you here would just take you back before the change would happen, but you are still here and I can tell you are changing. At least this way you will be more of a help with trapping the Nightmare."

Sarah stood up and began to take a walk through the garden, Jareth being concerned for her, also stood up and began to follow her. "Jareth, what will I do here?"

"You can do anything you want; your room will still be there at the castle. I will not throw you out."

"But Jareth, I can't stay in that room, it belongs to your queen."

"Sarah, stay with me."

"I don't think I have much of a choice."

"Sarah.."

"Jareth, this is a lot to take in, I need some time to myself to think. Can you take me to my room?"

With that Jareth transported them both to Sarah's room and he left her alone. Once he was gone she just sat down on the bed and began to cry. There was a lot on her mind and she now had a lot to take in. She would never be able to go home again and she was turning into a fey. She would be living in the Underground and would be able to use magic, in high school this would have been a dream come true, but now it was something different. Her whole life was gone, and she would be in a world that was foreign to her. Sarah didn't know what she was going to do and that is why she cried her self asleep.

She was still curled up the next morning when Jareth found her. He felt horrible for having to tell her all of that, but she had to know. Jareth never wanted to hurt her, but it seemed to him that was all he did.
