Sorry everyone for how long it took to update, I've been sick, then my birthday was here, My friends threw me a STELLAR surprise birthday party!, then I had the holidays, and then I was sick AGAIN to the point of almost being admitted into the hospital. It was madness I tell you! MADNESS! Lol. But here is the next chapter. I hope you all love it! :)
lulipmoran- Sorry it took so long for me to update. Here it is!
- I'm Sorry... But she won't stay that way forever.
Xepher06- Oh my, that would be quite scary. Wouldn't it? I hate to even think about it! But, then again, I have thought about it! ;) Thank you, the work on the novel came to a halt because my laptop had to be worked on AGAIN. Then I was sick to the point of almost being brought to the hospital. :( Which is why it took me so long to get this out!
Fallenangelvamp- I know, I was pretty confused about where I wanted her to go in the story, but then I was thinking that I didn't want her to stay the way she was. She had to have some kind of transformation, and she did! Although, I can't say that she will stay this way. In fact, I don't plan on it.
midns- Thank you. :)
zombie guts- Thank you. Sorry it took so long, Like I said earlier, I've been sick and with my birthday and the holidays, it's been crazy!
Sarah woke up the next morning bright and early. She stretched and looked over to see if Jareth was still sleeping next to her. To her utter dismay, he wasn't. "Where could he be?" She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom to find that he wasn't there either. Letting out a low growl, she walked down to the dining hall, where she found him eating breakfast without him. She tapped her foot impatiently on the floor. "Excuse me, but is there a reason you are eating breakfast without me?"
Apparently Jareth hadn't noticed her coming into the room, because he dropped his plate on the floor when he heard her open her mouth and begin to talk. He had one of the servents pick it up while he walked over to Sarah. "Darling, you looked so sweet while you were sleeping. I didn't want to disturb you." Sarah narrowed her eyes at him. She could tell he was lying and she didn't like it. She didn't know how he was lying, but she could tell. He could tell that she knew he was lying. He tried for a different tactic. Grabbing her hand, he kissed it, then gently placed kisses up her arm until she started to withdraw her arm. "The truth of the matter is, I'm extremely busy today and I needed to get things done. I won't have much time to spend with you today."
"So you had to lie to me? That seems ridiculous. Don't you think? Considering I'm your wife." She didn't want to hear lies from her new husband, nor did she ever want to be lied to in the first place. "You know, you could at least be straight forward with me. I'm obviously with you forever now, so just always tell me the truth." Jareth tried to caress her face, but she backed up. "Hold on a minute. We have to discuss something."
"Darling, I really must go."
"No. Not until we talk about this."
He lowered his eyes a little. Just enough to make them look dangerous. "You should probably rethink your statement love. I am still your King. You do not talk to me like that."
She scoffed at him. "And I am your Queen. Last I checked, that made us equals."
Jareth moved his hand around dismissively. "In your world, yes. Down here, not so much love. Down here, the Queens actually listen to their Kings."
"Whatever Jareth."
She started to storm off, but Jareth didn't want her to leave angry, something inside of him actually wanted to know what she wanted to talk about. He held out his hand and called out to her. "What is it that you wanted to talk about?"
Before Sarah turned around, she smiled in accomplishment. She knew that a woman could still make a man do whatever it is she wanted, just by being angry. It worked in the aboveground, she just wasn't sure it would work in the underground. She was glad it had. She finally turned around and walked over to him. "I thought you said after I was turned Fae, that I could go visit my family."
Jareth's face dropped. He hadn't thought she would think to go so soon. Especially not in her present condition. He grabbed her hands. "Darling, there is no way you can go see your family."
She closed her eyes and then opened them just as quickly as she closed them then cocked her head to the side. "Excuse me? It sounded like you just said that there is no way I can go see my family, which is exactly what you promised me I could do." Jareth nodded. "Do you remember you promised me that I could do that Jareth. Do you?" He nodded again. "Then why are you going back on your word?"
"You can't go when you have a different personality. They will suspect something."
She pulled her hands out of his. "I won't stand for this Jareth. I won't."
"Makes no difference to me."
Sarah shook her head and narrowed her eyes at him. "I'll just learn that stupid magic thing you do when you appear in peoples rooms and I'll do that. You will not keep me from my family."
"Then I just won't teach you how to teleport. Simple as that."
She shrieked as loud as she could. "Are you still going to let me see Sandra? You said I could do that no matter what, and don't play the different personality card on that one. She knows I'm here."
"Sandra is a different case. You may see her, but only when I choose to bring you."
Sarah stomped her foot on the ground as hard as she could. "This isn't fair! Why aren't you being fair?"
He had to surpress a laugh. "Well, you keep that up, and you just might have your old self back and you might be able to go visit your family in no time."
She was confused. It wasn't that she didn't remember how she used to be. It was just that she thought he liked the grown up version of her better, which he clearly didn't. How many times did he tell her to stop saying that things weren't fair, and now he was telling her to keep saying it? It was all so confusing. "I don't get you."
He walked around her and put his arms around her waist. "What don't you get?" He said before he started kissing her neck.
Instead of stopping him, she let him kiss her, enjoying it. "You used to always tell me to stop saying that things weren't fair, and now you're telling me to keep it up. It makes no sense. How do I win with you?"
In a flash he turned her around and held her hands in his again holding her gaze in his. "You don't, but that's the fun of it."
"Huh?" Before she could ask him what he meant by that, he placed a kiss on her lips and then he was gone. She sighed heavily, wishing that she could have gotten answers from him. Finally she looked at the table and saw that a fresh plate of food had been left for her. She shrugged and sat down to eat.
