Chapter 15
My Sarah is awake! I stopped in my sprint down the hallway to find a goblin. "Skittles!" I yell and true little goblin comes running around the corner. "Yes Kinga." she stopped in front of me panting and out of breath. "Skittles I need you to take one other goblin and you go tell the High King and Queen that the Goblin Queen is awake and the other one go tell King Drake that Sarah is awake." Skittles started bouncing with excitement "Really Kinga!" The little goblin looked like she could barely contain her excitement. "Yes Skittles now go." I said with a laugh. I started sprinting until I reached my chambers that held Sarah. I burst through the door and looked to the bed and sure enough there was my beautiful bride. I ran over to he bed, picked her up and starred swirling her in the air. I stopped So I could sit her down and kiss the daylights out of her. About that time unfortunately Marcy walked in. "No Jareth! She just woke up and if you don't quit that I will personally throw you out of here!" As annoyed as I was Marcy is one of those people that you just have to listen to. "Sorry Marcy." I said while Marcy smirked in front of me and Sarah giggled behind me. I turned to Sarah and said "Oh that's fine. Just you wait till we're alone later." now it was my turn to laugh.

(Oberon)
Oh life as High King can be so boring. Even when you have three children such as Drake, Jade, Jareth and now Sarah. Oh that poor girl I wonder how she is today. I know my son feels that it won't be long until she is awake. I don't think Tatiana has received and word from the council about if they have decided to let her become Fae or not. That poor girl has lived in the Underground for nearly two months but not got to experience any of it. I do wonder when she will wake, I'd hope its soon. Jareth tries to keep his mask of composure up but sometimes it slips and you can tell the longer she stays out the more it gets to him. I turned to Tatiana and said "Do you think we should go see Jareth and see how Sarah is doing?"She was silent for a moment longer and sighed "No I think our boy will tell us if anything new happens. We just need to wait." she went back t staring off into the distance. She was staring like she hoped for some one to come through the doors. "I'm just worried Ana. The girl has been in a coma for nearly two months. I know Jareth is worried and so we should be too." She stood from her throne to come stand in front of me "I am worried both for the girl and for our son but there is nothing we can do right now and if smother him with our worry and his he's going to slip into a depression again. So right now it's just best to let them be." I know she's right I just don't want her to be. "I know Ana."She went to sit back in her throne to my right, she reached over and grabbed my hand "It will be okay I promise." I kissed her hand and we went back to waiting.
It was silent in the throne room as usual. We were waiting for any news of the girl and Jareth. There was commotion outside the doors. There were guards yelling and armor clanging. A little goblin no higher than a foot came through the doors screaming "I tolda ya Kinga Jareth sent me!" She came to stand in front of our thrones, she curtsied and said "You majesties your son Kinga Jareth senta me." I looked to Tatiana in surprise and she looked back at me with a I-told-you-so look. We looked back at the goblin and I said "What is your name and what has my son said."She looked up at us kind of nervously and said "My namea a Skittles your majesty. My Kinga said to tella you thata his Queenie is awakes." I looked to Tatiana so maybe she could provide some answers. "Are you sure little goblin? Did Jareth tell you this?" Skittles looked a little exasperated and said "Yesa your majesties. Hes said yous wouldn't believes me so he saida to gives you this." the little goblin held out a crystal to me. I took it and looked into it and sure enough there was my son twirling his beloved in the air. I handed it to Tatiana and said well let's go then. I walked to the middle of the room and waited I asked the little goblin if she would like to transport with us she said yes so Skittles, Tatiana and myself transported to the Castle Beyond the Goblin City.

"Jareth put me down. I'm not going any where." he looked at me with love filled eyes and said "I know but you have know clue how close I was to losing you." He had me sitting in his lap with his arm wrapped around me holding me as tight as he dared. I shifted and said "You know eventually I will have to get up." He laid his head against my neck in my hair and said "Yes eventually but no yet. Right now you are going to sit right here and let me hold you." All I could do was sigh and relent seeing as this was not a battle that I was going to win. Not that I was complaining, I loved sitting with him but I needed to tell him about what my mother said. "Jareth I have question." He looked down at me with something close to longing but nodded his head for me to proceed. "Jareth while I was out I was in something called the void." He tensed under me and held me a little tighter while he said "Well then my love you have no clue how close to death you actually were" he pulled tighter against me and nuzzled his head into my neck where he kissed my neck. How is it that just this simple action could send tingles all the way to my toes. I shuttered but continued "Jareth while I was there to get back to you I had to complete something called the steps of truth. Do you know of them? What are they for?" He shook his head yes and said "Yes precious I know of the stairs of truth. All new inhabitants of the Underground must complete to be aloud to live here. The men you met along the way on the steps were the Fae council. If you made it you have been accepted and are changing as we speak. I will say you will go through some rather enjoyable side affects." He gave a devious smirk and I playfully hit him in the chest. "Alright Mr. Goblin King, now you said the men I met but I also met a woman. Actually she had a message for you." At this he looked rather confused but said "Oh? Well don't delay any longer what did she say?" I was a little nervous now he looked just as confused as I was. "She was my mother Jareth, I haven't seen her in almost 14 years. She said and I quote "Oh my Gods you have to get out of here! Go find Jareth and don't leave his side tell him Tana will be by to explain things later. " and she pushed me through the portal here." He jumped of the bed and screamed "Mother! Get here now, we have a problem!"

Oh no this can't be happening! Not now! She just got back and the problems begin again! I am going to have a mental break down before we're even married. Almost as soon as I called my mother popped into the room in a defensive position. "What is it my son I received your call." She looked like she was ready to go into battle she was so defensive. "Mother first off Sarah was in the void. Secondly she met her mother but her mother is a old friend/enemy." Mother seemed to relax slightly but I knew it was on false pretenses. "Who my son? Who would have you so worked up?" Before I could speak there was a huge crack of thunder and all the candles flickered out. They all burst back to life in a cloud of black glitter and in the center of the cloud was a woman that look just like Sarah. Before anyone could pick their jaws up off the floor the woman smirked and said "Hello my little niece. So good to see you again."
