Sarah watched in horror as Corryn's army attacked the palace, they were not yet prepared for his sudden onslaught and his forces had quickly advanced and were already at the castle wall preparing to breach the inner barrier that protected them. Jareth and Gavin used Sarah and Cahria deeper into the castle where they would be safe.
Cahria was frightened for the safety of her children and of her previous husband. Sarah was also afraid, she had no magic and so she could not defend herself. Cahria's magic was unstable because of her pregnancy and so she could not help much either. Jareth stood outside the door of the chamber in order to protect the two most important women in his life, even if he refused to admit it.
There was a loud explosion and when the smoke cleared there stood Corryn. Jareth went after him, but all his attacks were blocked and soon Jareth lay on the floor at Corryn's feet and Sarah let out a scream as he poised his sword over his heart….
Sarah let out a horrifying scream that caused Jareth to run in from the balcony. She shot up in the bed in cold sweat and Jareth immediately took her into his arms as she began to sob. "shh now Sarah, everything is going to be alright."
"Jareth, I had a horrible dream."
"It's ok now, it was just a dream Sarah."
She pulled back and looked into his eyes, "no, it was more. It felt so real, I… I want to become fully fey so that I can protect myself and you won't have to worry about me."
Jareth allowed himself to smile at this, "Sarah, it won't be that simple. You will not be able to master magic overnight, but if you wish to become fey, I can help you to speed the process along."
"I would like that."
Satisfied Jareth began to get up, but Sarah reached out her hand and stopped him. Puzzled he looked over at her and she leaned up to give him a light kiss on the lips, but before she could pull away he wrapped his arms around her and depened the kiss. When the two finally pulled apart for air Jareth smiled at Sarah and again started to get up. "Jareth, could you stay with me tonight. I don't want to be alone." Jareth smiled at her and walked over to the other side of the bed and climbed in next to her. She curled up close to him and together they went to sleep and there were no more nightmares.
