A/N: I don't own any of this besides my original character ('s)! As always, R&R! Its funny how when I started the story I had no plot line or anything, now everything's falling into place…strange. I guess I just have a knack for writing! Am ii right? Ha-ha. Now, were on to your regularly scheduled programming.
~~~~~!
"Um…why am I meeting you're…. Parents?" Sarah asked Alex hesitantly, not knowing if he was going to get mad for no reason, like his brother.
"It is a direct violation of the law for any human to live in the underground with out consent from the high king and queen." Alex said. His twinkling blue eyes weren't making eye contact, which probably meant that he was leaving something out. This scared Sarah quite a bit.
"Oh…really?" Sarah said sounding a bit confused, shouldn't jareth have already got permission?
"Your thinking jareth probably already got permission, correct? Well you're wrong, he didn't. Didn't you know? Jareth never plays by the rules." Alex said smiling widely at some sort of inside joke which made Sarah curious.
"Well if you know jareth that much would you know what he did to my brother?" Sarah said sounding a bit hopeful
"OH! You mean the small child I ran into on my way to jareth's? Yes, he's running the labyrinth for you, so you can go home. Oh but don't worry, he is under 24 hour surveillance so nothing can hurt him. Runners under the age of 10 are guaranteed to come out Un-harmed. Physically, that is.
"Oh thank god, but what do you mean just physically?" Sarah asked, she was so happy that he couldn't get hurt.
"Remember when you got home after running for Toby? You thought someone was watching you 24/7, you thought jareth would come back and you needed therapy? Well getting a wish like that granted…well scars you for life." He said as we came to a halt with his blue eyes staring blankly at the door.
"Well this is your stop; ill see you when I get out of court and when you finish your interview" he whispered in her ear, getting real close which made Sarah uneasy. Either way her face turned bright pink. But before she knew it the doors opened in front of her and Alex had vanished.
"The one who is called Sarah may step forward now" said a loud deep voice.
And like the voice said, she walked into the large grand room, marble floors, a high ceiling which was at least 15 feet tall. It was like a court room but the seats were nicer and everything looked expensive. Including the people, they looked like porcelain dolls; they had no emotion what so ever on there faces and their clothes were all from the Victorian era. Finally after that long moment of silence which felt like an hour a man spoke who was where a judge would be in a court room.
"Sarah, while you were in jareth's care did you know that your being underground was violating a major law? The man said looking down upon Sarah with his green curious eyes. From where he sat it was obvious that he was the king.
"Um...No I wasn't aware that there were any laws..." Sarah grew uneasy as all the eyes in the room shifted onto her.
The whole room burst into hysterical laughter.
"SILENCE!" The king shouted, and directly after everyone stopped laughing. It was clear to Sarah that everyone was scared by him. At least I'm not the only one Sarah thought to her self.
Finally the women next to the king spoke "Sarah dear, every dimension has laws and the underground is no exception. Do you know why jareth has you in his care? You are over 18 you are not allowed under ground unless you are married to a Fae, an elf or any other breathing creature out there, excluding the animals or plants. Are you two engaged to be married?"
"My brother Toby who is only five years old wished us both away and no I'm not married or engaged to anyone above ground or under. Nor do I plan to anytime soon.
Sarah stated in responses to the queens question.
So I finally found out what he didn't tell me. Why would it matter if I had to get married to stay here? Or if not I have to leave? This means Toby wouldn't have to run that stupid maze and I can just go home! I don't get it! Sarah thought to her self as everyone started mumbling words in some strange language to one another.
"It will be announced what we will do with Sarah tomorrow, for now everyone can go home" as everyone was leaving Sarah started to walk to the door only to be stopped by the king him self!
"Everyone but you Sarah Williams, now follow me." He said as he turned to a door that came out of no where. The king opened it, walked in and sat on a large chair at his over sized wooden desk.
"You may have a seat." He said smiling while pointing to the chair infront of the desk.
Right as she took her seat he started talking in a nice calm voice "I'm sorry to have called you in like this but I didn't want this to be such a shock for you. You know how you have to be younger than 18 to be wished away? Well jareth kidnapped you once he heard your brothers wish, which was against the law. He should have only taken the child and not you. You see, we can not let anyone over 18 in and we can't let anyone over 18 out either. As the law states you need to be married to stay under ground so you will need to find someone to marry. The court decided that we shall giving you three months to get engaged and a year to be married.
Sarah sat there in shock, not knowing what to do or what to say.
Suddenly every thing went black. When she awoke the words were still ringing in her ears "you must get married" when she stopped sulking and rose from the bed she wasn't in the white room again, she was in a nicer looking room. Everything was either black or gold. The bed was obviously a Cali king. The two tall windows were draped in black lace curtains that hung from the ceiling. Her eyes soon drifted away from the furnishings in the room and fixed on Alex who was sitting, reading a book on the three seater sofa across the room.
He finally looked up "oh, it looks like some one is up! Apparently you had quite a fall, you just fell over out of your and fainted yesterday, or so I've heard. So how are you feeling? Are you hungry?" Alex said looking slightly concerned and amused.
"Oh no I'm fine, I'm just wondering, where's a bathroom?" Sarah asked, because she really had to go.
"Right there." Alex said pointing to a door that just appeared right out of no where, like always.
"Thanks" Sarah mumbled as she scurried out of the bed and to the bathroom.
~~~~jareth
"Jareth you know what you have done is un-acceptable!" the high kind yelled
"Don't worry father, I know what I did and I plan on fixing it." Jareth smiled as he said the last part. This seemed to be quite suspicious to his father.
"And might I ask how you will do that?" his father asked getting angry.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Jareth said smiling at his father
"Well, I do to, your younger brother intends to court her and get engaged to her within three months, and make her his wife within a year! Isn't this exciting? For the mean time she's going to stay with him in his kingdom!" the high king was practically jumping for joy when he said this.
Jareth put in a big fake smile and said "well, I wish him luck." Jareth turned and left. He shut the door behind him and mumbled
Jareth was truly a very possessive man. When his brother tries to takes what's his, jareth louses it and sometimes does and says stuff he will later regret. Jareth tries to not show his possessive side as much, sometimes he slips up. "He'll need all the luck he can get; that stupid shit face….I won't let him have what's my property!"
All the eyes in the hall turned to him. Everyone looked somewhat scared and worried at the same time. Every one was now probably thinking that he needs therapy.
~~~~Sarah
Once Sarah got out of the bathroom of Corse, Sarah started to ask more questions.
"So Toby's running that stupid shit maze for nothing?" Sarah asked enraged.
This isn't fair! He shouldn't have to do something for nothing like that! Sarah thought to her self still pretty pissed off.
"Obviously, didn't my father make that clear to you?" Alex had the same stupid smirk on his face that jareth always has. This made Sarah even madder than she was before.
"But you said th-"Sarah was cut off before she could even finish her sentence.
"Let's not argue today, ok? It ruins my mood. Come on lets go out and do something fun!" Alex said excitedly while pulling Sarah out the large wooden door. They walked in silence threw the winding hallways to a huge double door leading outside judging by all the locks. Two guards opened both doors at the same time, the doors lead to a city filled with busy people! Threw out their time in the city Sarah pulled Alex into every store, and bakery she saw! Sarah was like a small child in a candy store.
A few dozen stores and crap ton of dresses later, Sarah an Alex returned to the castle, tired and hungry for real food, and not cream puffs.
They both walked in laughing hysterically at some joke Alex had just told. But once they saw an angry blonde staring directly at Alex their laughter came to a halt. It was obvious he had been waiting a while for them. When no one said anything he grew even angrier by the second.
"Oh! Why hello dear brother! Having fun playing with something that isn't yours?
the blonde man snapped at Alex.
A/N: yes, I updated the story quite quickly this time. See? Reviewing really gets me motivated to write! Also, what quote do you want Alex to record? I was thinking "It's your dearly beloved viscount strophanthus" what about you? (I finally got him to agree to this! Ha-ha)
I truly think Alex should get Sarah but I know everyone thinks that she's better off with jareth and blahh de da de da. But jareth can be such an ass at times! Ugh, so I decided to have them fight over her and we'll see who wins~! Remember, reviewing, and spamming my inbox telling me to update really gets me motivated to update faster! I also like it when readers tell me what they want to happen next so I can get an idea of what to write. Thanks as always! Hope get reviews from you all soon~! I've noticed that I write better when it's past 12AM…. Well it's now 2PM and I need to go to give the one and only real life Alex an Early morning visit. :D Bye-Bye!
EDIT: sorry but in the original some things didn't add up so I edited it, once again. Sorry T.T
