Dislaimer: I don't own anything.

Chapter 5

Sarah had lay there for a while when she heard a knock t her door and then Jareth came in.

"Hello Jareth."

Jareth looked at the girl before him for a moment. Finally he was broken out of his reverie when Sarah spoke.

"Can I get up now?"

"What? Oh yes you can get up if you feel up to it." He then watched as she sat up and moved to the edge of the bed.

"Are you still in pain Sarah?"

She looked at him from the edge of the bed a moment before answering him. "A little, but it's only really my wrist now, and it's not even that bad."

"Good then." He looked on uncomfortably in silence as Sarah stood up slowly and walked over to the window.

She stood there, looking out the window, over the goblin city and the Labyrinth in silence. Eventually he spoke again. "Jareth, will I be able to go out into the Labyrinth?"

"Yes I suppose, but now alone and not until you are completely well."

She nodded in agreement and then continued to look outside in silence.

Jareth walked over to her and stood at her side. "Would you like something to eat?"

She shook her head but then spoke. "Actually, I'd really like a bath. I just feel dirty."

He smiled at her, "Your wish is my command."

She looked at him confused for a moment before just shaking her head in amusement.

He took her hand and led her across the room to one of the other doors in the room, she already knew which one was the entrance to the room and she guessed that this was a bathroom. Jareth opened the door and led her inside.

"You can bathe here; I trust this will suit your needs."

She looked around the room, it had a large bath and a number of scented oils and the like along the edge. The bath was already full and the water was steaming.

"Definitely, this is great."

Jareth then handed a towel and a robe to her, that she guessed he had used his magic to get as he hadn't moved from her side.

"I will send your clothes in soon. Have a nice bath Sarah, I shall return when you are done."

Once he walked out of the room Sarah slowly undressed from the pyjamas that she assumed Jareth had put her in when he brought her here, and climbed into the steaming bath settling against one end and just soaking in the warmth.

After about half an hour she decided that she should get up, her clothes were sitting on a chair that was in the room and she guessed that meant it was time to be getting out.

Sarah got out of the bath and looked at herself in the mirror that was above a basin opposite the bath. There were no bruises, nothing to indicate the occurrences in the alley. She then dried and dressed herself, putting on her black skirt and top, but forgoing her boots and jacket.

Finally she emerged from the bathroom and Jareth appeared before her almost immediately. "Feeling better now?"

She nodded her head. "Ah Jareth, will I have to wear this the whole time I'm here? Or is this there something else I can wear?"

"I will get some clothing for you later, that outfit isn't really suitable for the Underground anyway. But that will have to do for a few more hours anyway."

Sarah went and sat back on the bed before speaking to Jareth again.

"You know, I wasn't trying to be rude or anything when I asked when I would be going home."

"I know that Sarah."

"I mean, it's not that I'm in a rush or anything, I just wanted to know, because I have work and I was supposed to be seeing my dad and Toby for lunch today. I would like to stay for a while though. If it's ok with you I mean."

"Yes it's fine, you can stay as long as you like. As for your father I will arrange for him to get a message from you saying you cannot show up and I will do the same for your work."

"Thank you Jareth. I know you don't have to do this stuff for me, and you didn't need to help me. I really do appreciate what you're doing for me."

He smiled at her and then spoke again. "I'll have to leave you for a little while Sarah, but I shall return soon. Go and get some more rest."

As Jareth strode out of the room Sarah lay back again. The last thing she though before falling asleep was how much she wanted a cigarette.
