You guys I'm so sorry its been so long since I've updated it took me forever to write this chapter. I had such a bad case of writers block but it's over now and I'm committed to this story again. Since it's been so long I'm giving you guys two chapters instead of one. And again I'm so sorry for the delay.
Chapter 16
"What!" I screamed and everyone turned look at me in shock, well all except Jareth. From the looks on their faces you could tell they all thought that I was a mild tempered bashful little girl. Boy did they all have a lot to learn. I was still angry and getting a angrier by the second because all they could do was stand there with their jaws on the floor. So before anyone could pick their jaws up off the floor I started to yell again.
"Well are you all going to stand their of is someone going to explain!" I glared around the room and Jareth was the first to snap out of his shock.
"Calm down precious there is no need to get so worked up and yes I will explain. Your mother is my mothers aunt."he sad in a very nonchalant tone which jet angered me more.
"Yes I concurred that. Wouldn't that make us related then Jareth?" I asked.
All around the room everyone had the audacity to laugh at me. Laugh! Not just a giggle but a full on laugh, holding their sides as if afraid their insides would fall out. It made me so mad I could feel the heat burning in my face. I was sure my face was turning blood red out of pure anger. The room fell silent again as now they looked on in fright. Tana turned to Jareth and spoke in a voice that had venom behind the words but she tried to cover it with soft sweet voice.
"You did a fine job boy, now let me try." she placed a had on his shoulder and began to walk forward.
"Sarah my dear little Sarah. No you are not related. Jareth's parent are they High King and Queen but I am one step above them. I am head if the Fae council, which also means that I am Fae."
In my opinion this still explained nothing. I was just as confused as when they started. I knew my voice was going to make me sound stupid but I couldn't help it. I tried to pull strength to my voice but failed miserably. "So?" I said with a imploring tone. At this Jareth stepped forward again. This time he pt his hand on either side of my face and kissed my forehead and I relaxed slightly.
"No precious we are not related. She maybe your mother but she is also Fae. The only reason she is your mother is because she traveled to the Aboveground just like I do. Your father knew she was Far and would have to go back, but he loved her and so they were married. She was only able to stay a few years before she had to come back. When she did you stayed with your father and slowly all of your Fae genetics faded away from lack of magic. Now you only have some of your mothers looks but your fathers DNA. You are by all accounts mortal."
I breathed a sigh of relief at this because I was so glad we were not related. I pulled him down for a deep passionate kiss until we were broken apart by Tana clearing her throat and I blushed.

As Tana cleared her throat Sarah pulled away from me much to my disappointment. After that kiss I thought I was good, until she turned to be and gave a smirk to rival my own and said.
"Don't get to hopeful Goblin King, your still not off the hook for laughing at me. Just wait until we're alone later." and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. All around the room people were giving us knowing looks.
Then all the attention turned to Tana. Everyone was giving her suspicious looks. She gave a look back of mock-hurt as she said.
"What can't a mother come to help her daughter get ready for her first ball and to say hello to her soon to be family?"
Everyone still looked suspicious except for Sarah. Sarah just looked at the ground avoiding everyone's eyes. And that was very concerning for me. So I pulled her aside to talk to her.
I kissed her softly and asked "My sweet, beautiful Sarah are you going to be okay of you go with her?" all she did was nod and continue to look at the ground.
"Sarah my love your not being very reassuring while looking at the ground, let me see your beautiful eyes." she slowly raised her head to look at me.
"Yes Jareth I think I'll be okay with her. If not I'll call for you okay." Sarah said in a convincing voice
I wasn't fooled by her false bravado, I nodded and we began to walk back to the group of on looking parents. I put my arm around her shoulder and she rested her head on my shoulder and I whispered in her ear "Are you sure? You don't have to go." and in response she moved out of my arms and walked to the door and her mother followed. Soon Tana was walking down the hallway with my sweet Sarah in tow. Sarah walked with her hands folded in front of her with her head hun low and eyed down cast. I wanted to go after her but I had business to attend to so I let her go.
