I know this chapter isn't long, but they will be getting longer, I promise. The reason it's been a while since I have updated is because my family said that if I'm serious about writing, they'd send one of my stories to a publisher. It won't be this one…I was told it couldn't, so I started writing another, but I will be faithful to all of those who have written reviews.

Chapter 6- Disruptions

Jareth sat in his study, staring out his window into the garden. He had let his anger get the better of him and feared he had hurt Sarah. She would forever look upon him in fear, he could not live with that. A knocking on the study door broke him from his thoughts.

"What now?" he asked in annoyance until he saw Ariella at the door.

"Forgive me, my lord, but the lady wished to see you and refused to take no for an answer."

Upon hearing this, Jareth's spirit was lifted. "Let her in and you may go."

He watched Sarah cross into his study, transfixed by her beauty.

Sarah moved slowly to the chair beside Jareth's, aware that he was watching her every movement.

Sitting down beside him, she placed her palm on the place on his cheek where she had slapped him, wishing she could take it all back. Looking deep down inside, Sarah realized what she should have known all along. She loved him, and she always had.

Gazing deep into his eyes, she whispered softly, "I'm sorry, Jareth. I acted the way I did because I couldn't admit, not even to myself, that I love you."

Jareth said nothing, but acted instead. He leaned forward, cupped her cheek, and laid his lips on hers, coaxing a reaction from her. His kiss caused a slow heat to build and spread throughout her body.

"I love you, as well, my dearest."

At what she thought was the happiest time in her life, it happened, and it would change her outlook on life forever.

"I wish the Goblin King would take us to my sister," Toby said, trying to remain calm. Sarah needed him to save her. He wouldn't let her down.

Toby turned when he felt the familiar presence of Jareth, the Goblin King.

He was that Toby was with Matt and grew slightly sad. "So you wish for your sister? Come then, and you shall find her."

Sarah anxiously awaited Jareth's return. He had told her that it was Toby who had summoned and she anticipated seeing her brother again.

Staring into the fire, she did not notice their return until she heard a small voice call out her name.

"Sarah!"

"Toby!" she cried as she ran and gathered him in her arms, savoring the feel of him. She looked up and saw the third man that was with them. "Hello, Matt."

He just stared at her, as did Jareth. Both seemingly devoid of emotion.

"Sarah," Toby said, tugging on her shirtsleeve, "come back with me, please? I miss you so much."

Sarah smiled at her younger brother, marveling at how much he had grown. "Of course I'll come with you, silly. I miss you, too."

As she said this, she felt despair emanating from Jareth and looked at him with a silent apology in her eyes. She wanted to stay with him, but she wouldn't leave her brother again.

"Jareth," she whispered, barely audible, "please take us home."

When she felt the ground disappear and reappear under her feet, Sarah opened her eyes and silently said good-bye to the Goblin King for what she thought was the last time.

Thank you all so much for all of your support. I am probably changing my penname next time I get on to Ville'sVixen. It is not a definite but I thought I might like to warn you in case I do…because donovanwitch might have to be put on the shelf for a little for personal reasons. Again, thank you all and I hope you enjoy this story.
