"Making sure you are okay. You ran from me last night rather swiftly." His voice was unfeeling almost cold, pain was evident in each word he spoke.
Sarah blinked. "But why would I?" She sat up, rubbing her eyes. She didnt understand. She thought she had been running from an attacker. What in all the underworld was going on. "I dont remember running from you. I ran from someone else." She said, her green eyes confused.
Jareth moved towards her, holding out a crystal ball, with his memory in it. "Since your memory seems lost, look into mine." The crystal ball showed the scene from the time Sarah appeared in the garden to the time she ran from them. When the show was over the crystal in her hand seemed to burn with the very pain that Jareth felt at the time Sarah refused him once again. Sarah promptly returned the object for fear of being burned.
"But why cant I remember it that way?" Sarah was lost and sitting next to Jareth she felt odd. He wasnt of the real world in which she lived, just he was there, talking to her as if they were old friends. "Why did you come back Jareth?"
Jareth about jumped hearing his name. "To toy with your mind again I suppose, she if I couldnt seduce you into another magical dance? Why do you think I came back Sarah?"
His mismatched eyes met her's. Emotion was in them like a storm was at sea. For that briefe moment Sarah began to understand why Jareth looked, sounded, and acted the way he was now. She couldnt answer his question, instead she looked away. "I know why." Was all she murmered to him, closing her eyes, holding her head.
"If you know then I hope you will send your boss packing. He's the reason you cant remember what happened and the reason why you ran from me last night. Hes seem your mind, your memories, everything about you he knows. With your knowledge he knows about me, which is dangerous. I fear he may try something drastic. I dont know why but I only hope you can resist him."
Jareth stood, moving towards the door. Sarah looked at him, turning. "where are you going?" Her voice sounded lost and fightened almost.
"Home. I've said and done all I can right now, what happens between you two is up to you."
Sarah got out of bed and moved to Jareth, hugging him, wanting to be safe. Jareth blinked, feeling odd. With a soft sigh of defeat he put his arms around her. HE couldnt be himself around her, unless it was a game, and his games were out for this meeting.
Sarah nuzzeled his chest and rubbed his back, taking in the smell and feel of Jareth. "Please dont go. I dont even know what he'll do and you are leaving me to fight alone."
Jareth could have laughed. "Sarah, you dont need me. You defeated me, remember? You are strong and can overcome any battle as long as you believe in your own power." Jareth had never admitted to himself or anyone else that Sarah had a gift and she did. It was as pure as a baby just born and as bright as the moon in the night sky. She could take the darkness and make it glow with her love. She was fearless and willing to go the limit to save her loved ones. "Just believe Sarah. Believe in your magic as I do."
He looked down at her as she looked up, her eyes soft, softer than he ever remembered them being. "Jareth.."
He stared into her eyes. "yes?"
She blushed a little. "Stop talking and kiss me already."
Jareth could have danced, well spun crystals in this case. He was so lost in feeling he hadnt even thought of kissing Sarah. But since she agreed to the idea he complied, leaning down enough to kiss her gently.
You have all kinds of kisses, soft and sweet, hard and heavy. This was a little bit of everything, a kiss just for them when no one else was around. Jareth's spirits rose and with them he transfered some fo his magic to Sarahs little crystal, making sure she had a scape goat incase she got stuck.
"Be careful." He said softly against he mouth, giving her one last soft kiss. He disappeared as he always did, but Sarah had to fight the battle, untill he was called in.
Mare watched with a smirk at the ever daring Sarah. "bravo." He said with a chuckle. "Its about time you two got it together." But Mare stopped feeling the presence. Turning, she glared at the man who stood there.
The man smirked. "Having fun mother?"
Mare growled. "You arent welcome here."
He laughed. "I would think the king wouldnt mind. You know I almost didnt recognize you, you look so different from when I saw you last."
Mare prayed to god that Jareth showed up, and fast. "Yes well I can take any form I please and look any way I please. So maybe what you saw wasnt really me."
The mans smirked turned into a scowle. "No, what I saw of you was really you. Father fell in love with you when you were that way. I was surprised that you didnt tell Jareth about me yet, after all I am his half brother. Full brother if you count the fact that you raised him mostly."
Mare glared, just as Jareth walked in. "Get out Eric..."
