This will probably be the last update until next Monday or Tuesday because I have to go for testing in Boston. Not sure how I'm going to be feeling after it, so hopefully I'll update one of those two days. Anyways, have a great weekend! Oh, and enjoy! ;)

Darin looked at his mother with eyes of stone just like hers. "He made you do it, didn't he?" He accused Jareth as he stared at him.

Esmerald stared at Darin and shook her head. "No son, no one made me do anything I didn't want to do. When I found out what you were trying to do, I knew we had to do something." She looked at her husband then her daughter. "You had no right trying to steal your brother's betrothed. You know this right?"

"Look at her. She's the most beautiful creature I have ever set my eyes on. I will have her."

Sarah had had enough. She stepped forward. "I am not a creature. I am a human being and I will never be yours." She laughed. "That's the difference between you and Jareth. He treats me with kindness. You, you just want me because you think I'm a beautiful creature." She said mockingly.

Jareth stepped forward and grabbed Sarah by the waist. "My love, I must insist that you let myself, and my family handle this. Why don't you and Rowanda go for a walk with Sandra." Sarah gave him a confused look but nodded.

"Yes, Sarah, let's get better aquainted. I mean, after all, you are my new sister in law. We will be spending lots of time together." She smiled at Sarah as they poofed away.

Jareth stared at Darin and snarled. "How dare you come here. I do believe you are un-welcome in my castle. Especially after what you tried to pull last night. What with you trying to take Sarah away, then Sandra. I should smite you right here, right now." He said through clenched teeth.

"That's enough!" King Abbot boasted through out the castle. "I will not have my sons bickering like this. You are grown men." He looked at Jareth with pride. "You are finally married and have a Queen." He looked at Darin with a mixture of emotions. Darin couldn't figure them out though, but he knew that disappointment was one of them. Especially after last night. "And you Darin, you haven't taken a wife. Yet. But you will. At Jareth's masquerade ball this year, you will find a wife. And it will not be Sarah or Sandra. Do you understand me?"

"Yes father." He said defeated. He turned to walk away, but as he was walking away no one heard him say, "We'll see about that."

Sarah and Rowanda were interuppted by Darin storming out of the castle. He almost slammed the door into Sarah. "Sorry." He muttered.

Sarah just stared at him then looked at Rowanda. "Anyways, as we were saying, I know it's going to take a lot to get used to, but I know I can do it. I've been down here before. I'm positive I can learn to live down here. The only true problem is having to say goodbye to my family."

"I couldn't imagine saying goodbye to my family." Rowanda shook her head. "It would kill me. I spend almost every second with my family. They mean the world to me." She smiled. "I imagine it's the same way for you?"

"It wasn't always like that."

"What do you mean?"

Sarah shook her head thinking of the way she treated Karen before she ran the Labyrinth. She looked up at Rowanda. "I have a step-mother. I treated her horribly until I went home after I ran the Labyrinth." She paused and sighed. "The Labyrinth taught me a lot of things. It taught me to grow up, how to be kinder to my family, and how to appreciate them more. Which is why I never made another wish again in my life aboveground."

Rowanda narrowed her eyes. "Wishes are supposed to be made though dear Sarah. It's what makes magic, magic. Even if they don't get granted, it's supposed to make you believe."

Sarah shrugged. "I didn't want to chance anything happening to Toby again. So I didn't take any chances. I just did what I needed to."

"Tobias. I've heard much about him. My brother seems to like him a great deal."

"Rowanda! Come, we must be going. After all, it is Jareth and Sarah's wedding night. We should leave them alone." Esmerald said as she came through the doors of the castle.

Rowanda smiled at Sarah and whispered in her ear. "Please, give me a niece. I've wanted one for so long." Sarah blushed.

"I-I-"

"Oh, I'm just kidding. Relax. You humans are so easy to make blush."

"Rowanda, please, I am the only one who should be making my beautiful new bride blush. And you all know she has to be fae before she can carry my un-born child." He said as he wrapped his arms around Sarah's waist.

Rowanda pouted. "Then get on with it! I really do want a niece or a nephew." She winked at Jareth and Sarah and skipped off.

Queen Esmerald and King Abbot walked over to them laughing. "Please excuse our daughter. She's not so subtle. Take your time son." King Abbot said.

Queen Esmerald elbowed him in the gut. "I however am going to say it how I want, get on with it, so I can have a grandchild to play with. You know it's been eons since you children have really been children! I would like to see you have a family Jareth. Especially with Sarah." She leaned to Sarah. "You will most definitely give me some beautiful grandchildren." Sarah blushed again. "We'll be leaving now, but we will be visiting once the transformation is complete." She looked at Jareth with completely serious eyes which made Sarah nervous. She turned back to Sarah. "I'm so very glad to have you in our family Sarah. Until next time." She leaned down and kissed Sarah on the cheek. Then her and King Abbot walked away laughing in high spirits.

Sarah and Jareth were back inside the kingdom sitting down to dinner. Sarah had been un-usually quiet, Jareth had noticed. "What's wrong love?"

"I noticed the look your mother gave you when she was talking about the transformation. What was that about?"

Jareth put his fork down and folded his hands into his lap. "I don't think it is appropriate to talk about this at dinner."

She narrowed her eyes at him in wonder. "Am I going to die or something Jareth?"

He leaned over his plate and smiled. "No, of course not my dear. You'll just be asleep for a few days. Maybe a few weeks. It depends on how your body adjusts to the change."

Sarah's eyes opened wide in shock. "Excuse me? Sleep? I don't think so!"

"Sarah," He drawled. "It has to happen. You have to become fae. It's part of the ritual. Trust me, you will be fine. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

She sighed and looked at him. "You promise?"

"With every fiber of my being."

She closed her eyes and sighed again. "Fine then. How do I begin the transformation?"

He stood up and walked over to her. He flicked his wrist and a peach appeared. "You must eat this. All of this."

"Last time I at-"

"Love, last time I wanted you to forget about young Tobias, but this time the peach is different. I swear it on my life."

She looked at the peach cautiously. "All I do is eat this?"

"Every bite."

"Then what happens?"

He knelt down beside her chair. "Then you will fall into a deep sleep. Here."

Sarah grabbed the peach from his hand and bit into it. "Well, it certainly tastes differently than the last one."

"It will. I told you, it's different than the last one."

Sarah finished the peach and looked up Jareth one last time before she fell asleep in the chair. He picked her up and carried her to their room. "I probably should have had you eat this in her love. It would have been much easier to have you already dressed for bed." He laid her on the bed. "No matter. Nothing a little flick of the wrist won't fix. He flicked his wrist and she was in a light blue nightgown that flowed to her ankles. "Goodnight love. I have work to do, like waiting for a family for this un-wanted child. But I'll be back to check on you soon." He bent down and kissed her on the forehead.

Hours later when Jareth came into the room to check on Sarah, she was nowhere to be found. He screamed at no one and everyone. "Where could she be?" Then the thought crossed his mind. My brother.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! :) Who do you all think took Sarah? Guesses? Anyone? ;)
