Sorry about not getting this out a lot sooner, I know there's not much I can say in the way of apology for any of you who have been waiting for an update. Basically, lets see…I kinda lost interest in the story, that and I was stuck and had to deal with school. But mostly I just lost interest. Anywho, on with the story!

Chapter 7: Going Back

For a moment nothing happened, and then Jareth appeared right behind Ciran. He was dressed in his normal Goblin King attire; grey tights tucked into his black boots, white poet shirt with black coat and his silver and gold pendent. "And just what do you think you are doing Ciran?"

Ciran growled in frustration and threw one last bolt of magic at Kyra's shield before disappearing, not wanting to deal with the Goblin King.

Kyra sighed and dropped the spell leaning against the couch for support.

"I told you you needed to be more careful" Jareth said as he walked over to Kyra.

Kyra waved him off, "I'll live."

"Mind telling me what's going on here? And who the hell are you!" Robert demanded, caught off guard by yet another strange man appearing in his house.

Jareth shifted his gaze to Robert, carefully avoiding Sarah's, "I was called for and I came to collect on that wish. Now if you all will be so kind as to stand closer together it will make it a lot easier for me to transport you all."

Robert was about to say something but Jareth turned his back to him and grabbed Kyra's arm as he supported her weight. "Come on, lets get you home so you can rest." He said as he transported the group to his castle.

Underground

Jareth, Kyra, and the Williams' appeared in the throne room of Jareth's castle. Kyra took one look and laughed, "What? No messy goblins to greet you Jareth?" She asked smiling at the unusually clean throne room.

Jareth rolled his eyes, "You my dear are going straight to bed, and I will see you at dinner." And with that he flicked his wrist transporting her to her room, before turning to his four other guests.

The Williams where all looking around with various expressions on their faces; Robert and Karen were both in shock, Sarah looked almost frightened but Toby was thoughtful as he looked around the room before glancing back at Jareth.

"I've been here before," Toby smiled at Jareth, "you sang to me."

Jareth nodded slightly, "yes Toby you have, now if you and your family would be so kind as to follow me I'll show you where you will be staying." And with that he turned and walked down the hall, expecting the four to follow him.

After showing them to their rooms, Jareth headed back to his study, which was where he had been working when he had been summoned. He sat down at the desk and sighed as he looked at the amount of paperwork he had left to do. He created a crystal and spoke into it, "There will be four more besides myself and the Lady Kyra for dinner, make sure that everything is taken care of."

The elf that appeared in the crystal nodded, "Of course You Majesty, anything else?"

"Yes, make sure that clean clothes are provided for my guest for dinner, and tell Kyra she is to help Sarah if she is feeling better later this evening, if not send a maid to help her."

The elf bowed and disappeared as Jareth's crystal disappeared.

AN: Ok, so yeah, that's all you get folks. Sorry it's not longer but I thought that was a good stopping point. Also, if anyone wants to be a beta reader for me I'd greatly appreciate it! I really really need one!
