Finally My computer is cooperating somewhat so I'm taking advantage of it and updating

Sarah awoke still drowzy from sleep. She let out a yawn and stretched stopping only because she thought she heard something hit the ground. Confused she leaned over the bed as her eyes caught something rolling under the bed. Curiousity getting the better of her she got out of bed and went on her knees to discover the mystery item. She reached inside the darkness letting out a yelp pulling back discovering that she was either pricked or something bit her. What the hell?

Sarah growled in annoyance putting her finger that now started to bleed to her lips. She was determined now to see what it was getting a flashlight and looking underneath the bed She let out a loud gasp pulling out a crystal ball. It can't be! Angerily she threw it against the wall watching in satisfaction as it shattered.

A voice called from downstairs "Sarah what was that?" Sarah groaned hearing her step mother's voice. I am tempted to tell her what happened to see the look on her face! Then again she would think I'm crazy..."I accidently knocked over the lamp." Karen let anger cloak her voice "Clean it up and don't expect me to buy a new one!" Sarah mocked her step mother in her room "Don't expect me to do anything but buy stuff for me and go out to eat blah blah blah"

Sarah swept up the shards of the crystal and dumped the pieces in the trash can happily. She then went downstairs to have their "pretend to act like a family" breakfast not at all happy about it.

When she came back the first thing she saw was the crystal on her bed all together. She stared at it in shock. How could it be? She had witnessed it shattered into millions of pieces! Angered and a little panicked she took the crystal and threw it against the wall again. This time it just bounced off and rolled to the other side of the room. She cursed as she began to feel uncontrolably sleepy. Deciding it was time to take a nap she curled up on her bed and fell asleep.

Meanwhile Jareth At His Castle

Jareth smirked viciously at the crystal he held in his hand. Shall I make my appearance sweet Sarah? He chuckled darkly. Yes that is what he would do. Tonight is the night young one where you see who is in command! He stood from his throne kicking a goblin out of the way.

Like usual he didn't announce where he was going he just left and came back when he felt like it. Anyone who opposed him or asked unnecessary questions was thrown into the dungeons or the bog of eternal stench. Recently the goblins where his outlet to his unknown anger and suffered worse fates then that.

Back at Sarah's Room

Sarah was still sleeping soundly when a familiar figure appeared with his usual glitter and arrogance. He smiled darkly approaching her sleeping figure. He waved his hand taking the sleeping spell off the room letting her awake and she did so sleepily. The fist thing she saw however was those mismatched eyes and she jerked awake. "What are you doing here? You have no power over me!" That earned her a dark chuckle his voice was still smooth but arrogant. "Sarah..you have soo much to learn" The evil look in his eyes made Sarah slightly frightened.

Jareth grinned but not a grin she wanted to see and walked to the other side of the room turning around halfway. "You may have one the battle but I WILL when the war." His voice was eerily calm and his grin faded. "Sleep." The command made her body tired as she struggled to hold her eyes open. NO! Not this it can't be! I won! The last thing she saw were those mismatched eyes of his before fading into a deep sleep.

He grinned darkly picking her up with one arm around her shoulders the other beneath her knees. His grin faded into an emotionless face as he transported them back at his castle.

At Jareth's Castle

He handed the girl's body to his second in command. "Put her in the dungeon and lock it. Do not let her out unless I say or your body will be missing it's head." The second in command nodded slightly fearful of his King's threat and went to take the girl to the dungeon.

Next chapter we will be back to the present and see how Jareth reacts to the slap!
