Sarah woke up with a loud bang. Sarah groaned. Not another endless day. Had it all been a dream? Did she really spend the night in Willum's room? I got up and rubbed her eyes. "Come on maggot!" Boil yelled. After days of working for the King, she realized this was Boil being nice. She once saw a Goblin trying to escape one of his cells and Boil caught him. He tortured the poor Goblin by grabbing him by his feet and banging him on the floor like a mallet trying to crash a mole while playing whack-a-mole at the arcade. Doing so broke almost every bone in his body. But lucky for the Goblins they healed very fast, and Sarah didn't really care at the time the Goblin was being tortured because Sarah didn't particularly like the Goblin. He was always mean to her a purposely making her trip when he saw her working.
When Sarah was done getting ready, she fallowed Boil into the throne room, where, like everyday, Booger was waiting for her. "His Majesty has instructed that today you wake Lady Alysia. Master Willum and him have stepped out and will be gone most of the day." Sarah's heart sank a little. She possibly wasn't going to see Willum today. And if she was it would only be breif because it would be at night, she still wasn't sure last night with Willum was real.
She went to Lady Alysia's room. She held Booger's hand the whole time. She use to only hold his hand because he was leading her somewhere, but now since they got to know one another and trust one another, they became more friends and they just held hands because they wanted to.
Sarah knocked on Lady Alysia's door. She groaned,"Come in."
Sarah softly opened the door and Booger fallowed. Lady Alysia looked like a Goddess in her thin white night gown and her long flowing hair in a braid behind her back. Even first thing in the morning she looked like the most beautiful creature in the Underground. "Good morning Lady Alysia." Sarah said doing a curtsy.
"Morning." Lady Alysia said coldly. Sarah frowned.
"Um... how did you sleep?"
Lady Alysia rolled her eyes. "It was another long lonely night in my bed without the Goblin King." she faced Sarah with a ice cold glare. " You do realize that he still doesn't love me, and you do realize that if I don't become queen that I can't set you free?"
"Sarah looked down at her feet. "Yes." she said quietly.
"Then do better in trying to get him to love me. I know for a fact that you haven't been trying that hard."
"I'm sorry my Lady, but I have so much work to do, and whenever I see him he gets mad and sends me somewhere else."
Lady Alysia gave her a puzzled look. "Why is that he keeps getting mad at you?"
Without thinking Sarah told her the truth. "Because I'm always with Willum and it make him angry."
Lady Alysia gave an eager expression. She gave a smile. "What are you guys doing?"
Sarah blushed. "I'd rather not talk about."
"Oh come on." Lady Alysia pressed. Sarah looked up. She smiled. She realized that even though Lady Alysia was a cold Fae, she was still a woman and she enjoyed a little girl talk. "Come sit down and tell me." Lady Alysia said patting the spot next to her on the bed. Sarah complied and sat down next to her.
"Okay, me and Willum just sort of talk to each other and Jareth doesn't like it."
Lady Alysia gave another puzzled look." Why would he care that you and Willum are talking?"
Sarah blushed and rubbed the back of her neck. Half because her neck was sore and the other half was because she was embarrassed. "Well um..." Sarah wasn't sure if she should tell Lady Alysia about her and Willum's secret love affair. "Do you promise not to tell?"
Lady Alysia bit her thumb to symbolize and promise. "Fae's honor."
Sarah smiled. "Okay." Sarah situated how she was sitting. "Well me and Willum sort of... have a... secret."
"What's the secret?" Lady Alysia's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Sarah looked around the room and leaned forward to whisper in Lady Alysia's ear. "We are sort of... Lovers." Lady Alysia pulled back and squealed.
"Oh my God! That is amazing. I knew Willum liked you the moment he saw you. I just didn't know he liked you that much. You know before he met you he was a awful person."
"Yeah I keep hearing that from people." Sarah said. "What did he use to do?"
"Oh he just moped around most of the time, and when ever someone would just walk right next to him, he would glare. He would just walk around and grab his Gnomes by the ear and throw them."
Sarah gave a shock expression but quickly composed himself when she heard Gnomes. "Gnomes?" Sarah asked. "Is that what he's King of?"
Lady Sarah gave a questionable look. "You mean you don't even know what he rules?" Sarah shook her head. Lady Alysia grabbed Sarah's hand,"Come." Lady Alysia commanded, leading Sarah to the window. "You see that castle off in a distance?"
Sarah looked. On a top of a hill that she had never noticed before was a creepy dark stones looking castle. Sarah could have sworn that she saw lightening in the sky where it was. Sarah nodded. "Yeah I see it."
"That's his castle where he rules over Gnomes. It's farther away then you think. It looks like it would only take about a half and hour to get there, but in reality it takes 5 hours."
"Then how come I can see it so well if it's so far away?"
"Because the castle is as big as a mountain." Sarah gave a confused shocked expression. "There is a very huge population of Gnomes." Lady Alysia explained. "The Gnome city is hardly big enough for all the Gnomes, so a whole bunch of them live with him in his castle. But most of them live in one section of the castle so Willum could be alone."
"Then how is it possible to get places on time if the castle is as big as a mountain?"
"Your forgetting Sarah that most people that come to visit him are Fae. But the only Fae that come to visit are part of the court, and sometimes they have court meeting at his castle since it's the biggest castle in the Underground and he has plenty of room for all the court Fae to sleep." she looked towards Sarah and continued to talk. "But if you ever stayed at his castle, you would have to be at his side always. Which is probably what he wants." Lady Alysia gave her a sly grin.
Sarah blushed. "I have a question."
"What's that?"
"Um... why does his Majesty want me to stay here and be with him so bad, when eventually I am going to get old and die someday?"
Lady Alysia scoffed. "You have been immortal ever since you first came to the Underground" Sarah looked confused.
"But why?"
"Well... he wasn't really planning on you winning in the first place, he was planning on you losing and you and Toby being his forever. And your immortality never went away."
"I know I've asked you this before but, how do you know all this? How did you know Jareth loved me?"
Lady Alysia grimaced. "Let's just say I spied on Jareth just like he spies on you."
Sarah did a double take. "What? He spies on me? How do you know."
"I walked into his study yesterday and saw him spying on you through one of his crystals.Who knows, he may be spying right now." Sarah's eyes widened in horror.
"Oh NO! He may have saw what I said to you about me and Willum."
Lady Alysia shook her head. "When I say Fae's honor. It makes it so you can explain a secret, even if someone is spying on you. But that wore off after I showed you Willum's castle."
Sarah let out a sigh of relief. She looked up at Lady Sarah. "I promise you Lady Alysia, that I will do whatever I can to make Jareth fall in love with you. It must feel terrible that he doesn't love you back."
"Oh I don't love him." Lady Alysia corrected.
Sarah cocked an eyebrow. "What?"
"I don't love him. I just want to be queen."
"Why? Why would you have him fall in love with you and not love him back? That is just cruel."
Lady Alysia chuckled. "Sarah isn't that what you did in a way? He loves you so much and you won't even give him the time of day. Isn't that just as cruel?"
Sarah looked down. "Yeah I guess."
"And yet you parade around with Willum. Don't you think that is the most cruel of all?" Sarah kept looking down.
"I see your point. I will continue to help you make him fall in love with you even though you don't love him back."
Lady Alysia nodded in approval. "Good. Now go draw my bath."
It was almost thirteen o' clock when Willum and Jareth got back. Jareth went strait to bed, while Willum went to go look for Sarah.
Sarah looked was walking in a hallway with Booger leading her. She had no idea where they were going because it was not the pathway to the dungeon. "Booger where are we going?"
"Master Willum has instructed me to take you to his bed chamber so you can sleep with him from now on."
So it was real.Sarah thought. They kept walking until Sarah squealed when she felt two strong arms wrap aroudn her weist and nibble on her earlobe. She turned her head and saw it was Willum. "I'll take it from here Booger." Willum said. Booger nodded and bowed and left them both alone.
Sarah turned around and started to kiss him on the mouth but stopped her. Sarah gave a confused expression. "Before we do anything." he pulled something out of his pocket. "Drink this."
Sarah took it in her hand and examined the vile. "What is it?"
"Drink it before I explain." Willum commanded. Sarah gave him a wary look but drank it, she trusted Willum.
"Woah." Sarah said getting dizzy and bracing herself on Willum.
He held onto her. "Sorry. That is a potion to make it so Jareth is unable to spy on us. When he looks in his crystal it would show you doing what he wanted you to do. Like cleaning the terrace or waxing the floors. And the best part is, whatever he expects you to be doing, it will magically be done so it looked like you actually did it."
Sarah gave a seductive grin. "And what will I really be doing in that time?" she put her arms around his neck.
"Oh I don't know." he said getting closer. "Maybe spending time with me?" he gave her a long lingering kiss.
Sarah smiled when they parted. "I like that idea."
"Come. Let's go to bed."
