When It Will End, Nobody Knows

"She's blind?!" Jareth yelled as he threw his goblet across the throne room. Goblins scattered, trying to dodge the flying object. "How could this happen?"

The idea of revenge had died the second the words came from Sarah's mouth. He couldn't do anything to her. It had to be torture enough not to be able to see the world around her. Jareth tried to image his life without sight. God, he would probably kill himself.

"I can't take her back," he said out loud, "The laws of the Labyrinth prohibit it," Jareth glanced at the clock on the wall. "Nine more hours and she will be a permanent habitant of the Labyrinth," Jareth felt a headache coming on.

"Doesn't look very promising, does it?" a taunting voice commented. Jareth growled in annoyance.

"I do not need your commentary now, Cypress," he growled out. A figure appeared in front of him, but he seemed to be floating in the air, his legs crossed Indian-style.

"Oh, but who will give you council? Goblins? Faeries?" the man that was floating had dark brown, almost black, hair and jade eyes. He wore brown leather breeches and a dark green tunic.

"I'm not in the mood for your mockery," Jareth growled again and threw a crystal at Cypress. He dodged it easily and 'tsk'ed him lightly.

"You never welcome your guests anymore," Cypress complained and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"First of all, you are not a welcome guest. Second of all you're getting quite annoying. Why are you here?" Jareth glared at him.

"The Underground Court has caught word of the woman here," Cypress said.

"News travels fast," Jareth muttered and twirled a crystal in boredom.

"AND, they have also heard she is too old to become a goblin. They know she's going to become Fae," Cypress continued.

"Are you getting to a point here, sometime soon?" Jareth asked annoyed.

"My point, oh impatient one, is that there is a opening in some of kingdoms for a queen. The Dragon King is getting lonely, for example. Isn't that your brother?" with that Cypress disappeared as quickly as he could. He didn't want to be their when sparks flew.

"WHAT?!" Jareth stood up quickly. As soon as a mortal becomes Fae, everyone's after them. Mortals that become Fae have a different kind of magic and are known to be quite powerful. Jareth should know, his mother was one. 'Damn the council and their meddling' he thought darkly.

"Sire?" a goblin approached him.

"What is it?!" he snapped.

"There is a lady at the door. She seems very angry," the goblin said as he coward slightly. Suddenly a fireball flew by the window. Jareth disappeared and appeared at the front door of his castle.

"Took you long enough," a agitated voice said. Jareth looked to his left and saw a very pissed off Sallina leaning against a stone pillar.

"Is there a reason you are here?" Jareth asked.

"I came here to steal a goblin!" she spat, sarcasm dripping from every word, "What do you think?!"

"Sarah was wished away and in about eight and a half hours she will become fae. Would you mind telling me who you are?" Jareth said with a mask of indifference on.

"I'm Sarah best friend and that's all you need to know," Sallina shot back. "I want to see her, now."

"Be my guest," Jareth said and threw a crystal at her. She caught it, but nothing happened. She squeezed the little sphere and it cracked. It shattered in her hand.

"The normal way, Goblin King," she growled. Jareth opened the door and tried to keep an unemotional face.

"Take her to Lady Sarah's room," Jareth told a nearby goblin. The goblin bowed and motioned for Sallina to follow.

Sarah was sitting on the bed thinking about all that had happened when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in," she said softly. She heard the door creak open.

"You know you are hard to track," a amused voice said. Sarah's face lit up.

"SALLINA!" Sarah yelled and tried to off the bed. Sallina hurried to her side and sat her back down.

"You stay sitting down. I don't want you to get hurt again. God knows you've had enough," Sallina muttered the last part.

"Sallina," Sarah started as the two sat down on the bed.

"Mm?"

"Sallina are you human?" Sarah asked bluntly. Sallina was slightly taken aback by the question and started to twiddle her thumbs nervously. Sarah noticed the silence.

"Sallina-"

"No!" Sallina said firmly. "No, I'm not human. I'm an exiled Fae. I'm sorry for lying to you. If I had known you knew the Goblin King, I would've told you, but I really don't like talking about my past. It's not really fun. You were my first friend when I was exiled and I didn't want you to think I was crazy or mean or something-"

"SALLINA! Your rambling! I forgive you! Will you please calm down!" Sarah giggled slightly.

"So you're not mad?" Sallina asked, surprised.

"No, I'm just wondering why you were exiled. I met you when we were freshmen. You got exiled when you were 15?" Sarah asked.

"Sarah, I'm not 20, nor was I 15 at the time," Sallina confessed. Sarah's eyes widened. "I used what power that I had left to alter my appearance. So I grew like you. To you I looked 15 then as you grew, so did I," she explained.

"So how old are?" Sarah asked. Suspiciously.

"Um, about 490," Sallina said.

"WHAT?!" Sarah yelled and almost fell off the bed. Sallina caught her arm and balanced her. Jareth walked in when he heard the yell.

"I knew I couldn't tell you without you freaking out," Sallina sighed. "Listen, now that I'm in the Underground again, I'll stay in this form. So I'm still the same Sallina, except that I have my magic back," Sallina said and conjured a fireball in her hand. "Hold out your hand," she instructed. The two seemed to be ignoring Jareth (which he didn't enjoy).

Sarah held out her hand. Sallina let the fireball float to Sarah's hand. Sarah felt warmth float over hand. "What is it?"

"My inner magic is fire," Sallina said and made the fire disappeared. "Like Jareth's is dreams," Sallina said and looked to the Goblin King. "But dreams can leave behind a lot of extra magic. And he did when he disappeared. That was my chance. I use the left over magic to get my self here," Sallina finished.

"Hey you still didn't answer my other question," Sarah pointed out. "Why did you get exiled?"

"Oh, that," Sallina became quiet for minute, "A long time ago I was a thief, just trying to get by, by stealing from rich Fae. Well, one night I was caught by a very wealthy royal that wanted to hire me to kill a member of the High Council," Sallina said. She drew in another breath. "I refused and was framed. The High Council was convinced that I killed the guy. They exiled me to the Aboveground for eternity," Sallina finished.

"You are the Fire-Flight Thief?" Jareth asked curiously.

"Was the Fire-Flight Thief. I was the best of them all too," Sallina said reminiscing about the old days. "But now I'm back and someone's gonna pay, dearly," Sallina said darkly.

"Well now I understand," Sarah said with a sigh. "But why are you here?"

"You're my best friend and I don't trust anybody but my best friends," she said and threw a glare to the Goblin King.

"Oh, are you going to stay,"

"Of course n-" Jareth began.

"You bet," Sallina cut in. Sarah hugged her and smiled. "Jareth can I talk to you for a minute?" Sallina asked.

"Why?" Jareth growled out. Too late, Sallina had already pulled him outside the room.

"Sarah is like a sister to me," Sallina said harshly. "And Hell will freeze over the day I abandon her. Not even the Goblin King will stand in my way," she conjured a fireball, "Just because I refused to kill the man doesn't mean that I can't," she threatened.

"Threatening me will not gain my trust," Jareth warned. "I will allow you to stay, but you get in my way and I will be forced to turn you over to the council my self," he threatened back.

"Fine, truce?" she asked and held out her hand.

"Truce," Jareth grounded out and shook her hand. The two entered the room again. When they did they were taken by surprise when they saw Cypress sitting on a chair talking to Sarah.

"Oh, the two hot-heads return," Cypress said as he stood up and faced the king and ex-thief. "Jareth , I must say Lady Sarah is a wonderful conversationalist, unlike someone," Cypress teased. Sarah didn't exactly smile but just kept silent.

"What are you doing here, pest?" Jareth asked menacingly. Cypress cringed in mock hurt.

"Jareth I'm scarred. Is that any way to treat a friend?" the annoying man asked.

"Cypress, you are a friend to no one," Sallina growled.

"I see your back to your old self Sallina. Still angry about the whole framing thing? I told you I had nothing to do with that," Cypress said seriously.

"Somehow I find that hard to believe," she shot back.

"Mm, pity, we could've had such a beautiful relationship," Cypress said.

"Out of my sights, snake," Sallina said and threw a fireball at him. He disappeared with a smug look on his face.

"He's going to sing like a song-bird to the council," Jareth said.

"I know," Sallina said and looked to a confused Sarah.
