Chapter 4

When Jareth awoke next he was still in his chair next to the bed and Sarah was sleeping peacefully. He decided against waking her and instead called up a breakfast tray for when she awoke.

After about half an hour, Sarah began to stir and Jareth went back over to her side waiting for her to awaken.

Finally she opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Good morning Sarah. Glad to see you're up and awake again."

She stared at him for a long while before speaking, her voice stronger than it had been the night before. "Jareth, when do I get to go home?"

"Home?"

"Yes, when can I go back?"

"Well I hadn't really thought about it, why would you want to go back to a place like that at all? Least of all be in a hurry to get there."

"It's still my home Jareth. Besides, whoever said that I was in a rush to go back, I simply asked when I would be able to."

"Well in that case, I do not know. Perhaps in a few days, maybe weeks, depending on your healing as well as when you want to leave."

"Alright, I'll wait and see then."

He then moved across to the bed and sat beside her, "How are you feeling now anyway?"

"Not too bad, considering what happened. I don't think I wanna be alone for a while though. Besides that, my wrist hurts and my ribs, nothing else hurts too badly."

"Good. My healer, Nessa, tended your wounds but said that your ribs would take a little longer, and your wrist. The wrist was broken so she'll probably have to treat it a little more when she checks your progress later today."

"Ah, alright then. I suppose."

"Now, are you hungry?"

She tilted her head in thought before slowly nodding. "Yeah, now that you mention it, I am a little hungry."

Jareth stood and brought the breakfast tray over to the bed and set it down.

After Sarah had eaten, Jareth left her alone to get some more rest until Nessa came and checked her progress.

Eventually Sarah fell into a light sleep until she heard knocking at her door. Before she answered though, a woman entered the room. To Sarah, she looked like a middle aged woman, who seemed to be the kind that would be tough, but underneath it all really cared. She looked almost human, except for her pointed ears and violet eyes.

"So you're awake this time," the woman said. Before Sarah could reply though she continued. "I'm Nessa by the way, the healer. Just come to see how you're coming along. Now how's the wrist and ribs?"

Sarah looked at Nessa for a moment before replying. "Well, my wrist hurts, by ribs aren't too bad now though."

As Sarah spoke, Nessa was checking her wrist to see how it was healing.

"Sit up for a moment now miss."

Sarah complied and with a little help managed to sit up. When she had done this Nessa felt along her ribs where they had been injured and continued the healing she had begun earlier.

"Now does that feel better?"

Sarah nodded, surprised by how much better she felt.

"Just go easy for a day or two so you don't re-do any of the damage. Now your wrist."

They went through the same process with her wrist and Sarah was once more amazed at how much the pain has lessened.

"I'll come back tomorrow and do that again for the arm."

Then Nessa bandaged her arm and turned to speak to her again.

"You may get up later, but not until the king is here to look after you, and leave the bandage on, you're wrist is not yet completely healed. I will inform the king of what I have told you, I'm sure he will reurn to you soon. I shall see you tomorrow."

With that Nessa left the room and Sarah lay back on the bed thinking about what had happened to her since she had left the club.
