Chapter 19: Goodbyes

Amelia sat down again and Toby followed her.

"What's wrong?" he asked her after a moment.

"Nothing Tob, I just kinda miss home."

"Oh." The little boy didn't really know what to say to his cousin, so instead he simply hugged her.

"Thanks Toby."

"Sarah?"

"Mmhm?"

"I hate to interrupt, but I think your little cousin wants to return to her home."

"Oh." Sarah lifted her head and looked at Jareth.

"Are you ready to go back to the children then?"

She stretched a little before replying. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Well then come on." He stood and Sarah followed suite. Then he grasped her hand and suddenly they were standing a few meters away from Amelia and Toby.

"Sarah!" Toby shouted when he saw her, "I missed ya."

She walked over to him and picked him up. "Well I'm back now little one so you don't need to miss me anymore."

Amelia was just standing there, looking at Jareth.

"Do you want to go home now Amelia?" he asked her gently.

The girl stood a moment longer before nodding her head. "Yes please."

"Alright then. Go on and say goodbye to Sarah and Toby."

Amelia walked over to where Sarah stood with Toby in her arms. As the girl got closer Sarah put her brother down and he ran over to his cousin.

"I'll miss ya Mel. Will you see us soon?"

"I hope so. Miss you too Toby."

Then Amelia ran over to Sarah and jumped into her arms.

"So are you ready to go home Amelia?"

"Yeah, I miss home. But I'm gonna miss you and Toby and Jareth too."

"I know sweetie, but if you want, you can come and visit us sometimes. Would you like that? I can make it that when you're parents are away you stay with us instead of Karen. Only if you want it though."

The girl nodded her head, smiling. "Yes please Sarah, I'd really like that."

"Alright then. I'll work it all out ok?"

"Ok Sarah."

Sarah put her cousin down and grasped hold of her hand as they made their way over to where Jareth was standing with Toby.

"Ready then?" he asked.

"Yep. I'm ready."

Sarah let go of her hand and Amelia took Jareth's now outstretched one.

"Come along then little one, time to go."

Then the two disappeared, leaving behind only a trace of glitter and a hint of magic.

Sarah began to walk out of the room and saw that her brother was still standing there looking at the spot where Jareth and Amelia had stood up until a moment ago.

"Come on kiddo, Jareth will be back soon and don't worry, Mel will come and visit us again in a couple of weeks maybe ok?"

"Ok Sarah."

"Now, wanna go for a walk to the gardens with me before you get some sleep?"

"Ah ha."

"Then come on."

She walked out of the room and Toby stood there a moment longer before hurrying to catch up to his sister.

AN: A bit longer than last chap, sorry about the lack of updates, blame my school and all the assignments I get. Anyway, you know the drill, please leave a pressie so I know how I'm going and to give me some incentive to keep this going.
