Not being able to find much about the child of the dragon kingdom Jareth went and gave what he found to Evnic as she nod her head to continue doing more research. Going back to his room he found Violet still sleeping in his bed as he notice that she pulled the blankets and furs closer around her cocooning herself inside them. He chuckled gently at his silly strange human as he lean over pressing a kiss to her forehead. One of his goblins was telling him how Sarah was and honestly he was growing bored listening to it. He wasn't sure why but he didn't care about it like he did when he first began to keep tabs on his precious Sarah. No, she wasn't as precious as he thought now that Violet was keeping him company and he's been so busy watching over her. Moving to lay down on his bed he looked at her face. Sarah had such pale skin while Violet's was almost warm pale. Violet was more mature with kind heartedness and a sense of childish joy that played on her smile. Sarah was more like a spoiled child that was finally growing up now that he thought about it. He had more fun playing and watching over Toby then watching her complete the maze half the time. Violet loved him in her own little way and was here with him, willing here unlike Sarah. Growing tired with these thoughts he pulled the blankets Violet had curled around her so tightly so he could get under the covers and rest his head as she clung to him for warmth. Wrapping his arm around her he closed his eyes falling asleep.

Evnic's POV

Talking to the goblins and directing them where to hang the decorations I squeaked feeling arms around me. Turning I sighed seeing it was Lucifer as I smiled to him.

"Gods you almost scared me out of my skin," I told him putting a hand over my heart taking a calming breath as he laughed stepping around me to face me. "What do you want Lucifer?"

"Can't I just drop by to meet my favorite goblin in the underground?" He asked moving to hold my face as I puffed out my cheeks pouting at him as he chuckled making me smile some to him holding his wrists. "Besides Jareth asked me here for some info and he wanted his healer to have a date to the ball. He knows I hate them but I'll go if you're there." Smiling more I leaned up pecking my dark knight on his lips. Feeling him smile against my lips I giggled as he held me closer to him.

"Can you tell me about that girl I saw earlier. She smells human but those violet eyes are not so human, at least I've never encounter a human with violet eyes."

"That's because there are very few who are known to have purple eyes. They've nicknamed it Alexandria's Genesis but most believe it a myth though the basis of said condition don't fit Violet. Those with alexandria's genesis are extremely pale and do not menstruate, though she can tan and has a healthy skin tone as well as told me that she does. Also those with the genesis don't get sick and therefore would not have her heart problem most likely so I can only think they are of magical quality," I told him as I looked to him. Then I thought came to mind as I looked up at him. "Do you think she is of magical birth? She has told me that she is adopted and that may explain her weak heart if her magic is trying to exert more then her body is able to handle in this state. No simple human can handle too much power, but that means she has extensive magical abilities and I think they maybe showing through the longer she stays here in the underground that she might be remembering things as well."

"How so?" Lucifer asked with a concern tone.

"Well there have been a couple times she has gotten hurt and almost seconds later it's healed up, no scar, nothing, like it didn't even happen. I have seen her talk to Jareth in fae speak without bating an eyelash. He doesn't notice it cause he just falls in and out of it without noticing when Violet should not be able to understand. Violet seems to get lost in her thoughts more and more some days and will cry when she thinks no one notices. When a goblin does a blank look comes over her and suddenly it's like she has just been woken and doesn't know why she was crying though seconds earlier she was muttering about her mother and father. Lucifer, what if something goes wrong?" I asked him as he held my hands. I remembered when Lucifer told me how angels who wen to hide on earth as humans and were slowly gaining their memories and powers back went mad and killed themselves, worse some didn't survive the transformation. "What if that happens to Violet? I don't think I could live with that. Jareth most certainly wouldn't be the same if Violet was ever hurt or died. It's been so long since he's been happy and it will be all my fault if I can't do anything." Lucifer held me to his chest as my eyes began to water.

"That won't happen. As far as we know she is fine, maybe she's just a fast healer and she is able to understand other languages. Maybe she is coming into who she really is but she is in the kingdom of wishes. Jareth won't let her simply fall into madness and with a healer like you by her side she will surely survive any transformation that will come over her. Please don't think so darkly my dear goblin. Leave your dark thoughts with me," Lucifer told me petting my head as I closed my eyes tightly nodding my head as he held me closer swaying some. "If even gods turn their backs to these girl I will be there with you watching over her." Looking up at him I saw him unfold his wings as I smiled to him feeling reassured that he would help my friend if need be. "You've gotten quiet attached to her. It's only been a couple weeks."

"I know but I feel like I've known her since forever. She's honest, kind, caring, and so gentle," I told him."She can be a bit quiet and too nice for her own good but-"

"Evnic, it's okay I promise everything will be fine," he told me as he held my face. Letting him kiss me I relaxed a bit more before just hugging him. Lucifer held me and buried his head into my neck.

"If the ball get's too boring for you, we can always sneak off while everyone else isn't paying attention," I told him smirking some as he chuckled grinning against my neck as he nuzzled it some making me giggle.

Violet's POV

The world seemed so fuzzy when I began to wake up. I felt numb all over from a nice long sleep. Strangely my bed felt so soft and I felt so warm, it was nice. Humming I nuzzled into the pillow. Something brought me closer to the warmth as I hum happily closing my eyes. My bed was never this warm and I began to think as I stiffen as I started to remember more clearly where I was. I must have fallen asleep in Jareth's room, oh god.. Jareth was holding me! Oh my god! Opening my eyes I shifted some to rub at them and looked to see Jareth's chest as he squeezed me closer to him. Squeaking I felt my face heat up as he groan some in his sleep. Looking up at him he seemed so peaceful in his sleep and I smiled relaxing into him some. Deciding I could lay there a bit longer to let him sleep. He was very important to me, a friend i guess. Though it didn't feel right to call him that. I felt like he was more to me, maybe because he's been so nice or that he treated me like I was worth something. He made me feel like I could take on the world even though I was just a simple human in his world. I could be me and it didn't matter what anyone else think. Feeling him move I looked to see him yawn as his eyes open slightly looking to me as I blushed smiling to him.

"Hey," I mumbled softly seeing him smile to me as I smiled more to him. "Thanks for letting me sleep here. Your bed is really soft."

"Mm, thank you for staying," he told me touching my face and my eyes widen as I moved to take his hand looking at it. "What?"

"I don't think I've ever seen your hands before," I told him before pressing my hand flat against his to see his fingers were longer then mine. It was like any other hand but it was really cool to me cause he usually wears his gloves all the time.

"It's just a hand," he told me as I rolled my eyes looking at him as he smiled chuckling at me. "You make the greatest faces ever, they are so adorable." I pouted puffing out my cheeks giving an annoyed look as he laughed more grinning brightly. I ended up smiling as he continued to laugh and joke about the faces I made. Moving to sit up I stretched my arms above my head popping my shoulders and back some as I sighed pushing my hair out of my face.

"How long was I asleep. It feels like forever," I said yawning.

"Mm~ looks like it's just getting light out. Everyone is probably still asleep," he told me as I hummed before moving to lay back down shivering some.

"So cold, you shouldn't keep the window open all night, idiot," I told him as he chuckled waving his hand as the window closed. He sat up and pulled me into his lap as my back pressed against his chest. He pulled a blanket over us as I hummed snuggling down. Seeing a book in his hands he held it out to me. Taking it I examined it looking at the cover. It had beautiful golden swirls of designs.

"This is a book about some of the people coming to the masquerade and about their kingdoms," he told me as I open the book and flipped through it. Stopping when I saw dragons I smiled brightly and looked to him.

"Dragons? Well we see them at the party?" I asked him looking back at the pages to see the dragons could take shape as people.

"Sadly they won't be. The Braveheart Kingdom is lost to the underground. They've been gone for sometime," he told me laying his head on my shoulder.

"Why?" I asked him reading the pages and then looking to him. "It says they were a kind and strong kingdom... oh." I slouched some as he rubbed my shoulder.

"Wha... why do people think violence everywhere? Why can't people get along or work it out in a civilized manner? I could have hit Eric or made his life hell but I chose to just dump him and kick him out of my life. All the bullies, I could have fought back and hurt them but in the end I didn't and guess what? They ended up apologizing to me and I forgave them cause violence doesn't solve anything. It only hurts and destroy people. Make people into something they aren't."

"You really feel strongly about this," Jareth stated as I turned to him slightly and he looked at me.

"I do... violence is wrong," I told him. "You can be angry and cry out but hurting someone will never solve the issue you have. In the end it will only hurt you and the people around you." I sighed some slumping against his chest as he hugged me closer pressing his chin against the top of my head. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath in and breathed out my anger as he rubbed my arms pulling the blanket closer around us.

"What if all that person has is violence? What if no one is willing to help them and show them the kindness they need?" Jareth asked me. Opening my eyes slightly I looked down at the white blanket keeping me warm.

"For every dark night, there's a brighter day," I told him.

"Nicely put, did you read that in a book?" He asked me as I giggled smiling.

"No, it's a quote from a guy called 2pac, he was a musical artist. He said somethings that have stuck out to people through the years that others have found inspirational," I told him as he hummed some.

"Any idea on what dress you want?" Jareth asked me as I thought about it.

"I'm not sure to be honest," I told him biting my thumb as I thought.

"I know a tailor that can fit you for dress. We can see him today and you can tell him about what you want to wear," Jareth then said as I nod my head in agreement smiling brightly to him. He smiled back before kissing my forehead as I blushed brightly. I then let out a squeal as he began to tickle me.

"N-no! S-stop! Please!" I squealed sliding down as he continued his tickle attack on my sides and stomach. I tried to move out of his reach but he only found other places to tickle me. I then moved to sit in his lap as I took hold of his hands. I held his wrists to his chest as I couldn't stop the small giggles and panting slightly out of breath. Looking at me with a smirk as I blushed some but giggled as I smiled shaking my head. "You're such a child sometimes."

"Not as much as a child as you are. With all your giggling and excitement at the smallest tricks," he retorted back.

"Well excuse me for being a simple human to gets really excited when they see real magic," I told him rolling my eyes.

"I don't mean it as an insult, far from it. Most humans lose their wonder when they get too old for fairytales and magic. Soon material possessions are all you think of or the fact you haven't done anything with your life and that death is coming soon. You forget to, how to put it 'smell the roses'," Jareth said as I giggled some before looking down thinking about what he said. "What's wrong?" Looking a his worried expression I shook my head smiling to him.

"Nothing, your highness," I said moving to hug him as he hugged me back. "Just thinking about what my dress will look like, all that tickling made me a little sleepy." Closing my eyes I hoped he would accept my reply and not delve further into it. Feeling him hug me back and press his chin into my shoulder I nuzzled into him as I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Well don't fall back asleep. We slept a really long time and it's almost time for breakfast. Then we have a whole day ahead of us."

"Don't you have any Kingly duties to attend?" I asked him.

"Nope, so you're stuck with me," he said as I knew he was smirking at me and I giggled.

"Yeah~," I said in a sarcastically cheerful tone as he hugged me more tightly in retaliation. Giggling I smiled brightly even though he could not see it. Closing my eyes I saw the flashing of the open flower field from my dream and the fuzzy images of the couple smiling to me. Opening my eyes I felt confused by it but pushed it away as Jareth pulled away and I looked to him smiling brightly. Shifting to get up I looked back at him pushing my hair out of my face. "Well I should get cleaned up. I can't wait to see what we will be doing today." Going to the door I turned to him smiling as we waved to each other. Stepping out I began running down the halls looking for my room. Spinning around the goblins and jumping over the chickens I managed not to fall down as I said morning to those I passed. Stepping into my room I closed the door sliding down against it as I looked to the window sighing. Covering my face I felt it heat up as I groan. Pushing my feelings to the side I got up and went to the closet looking through the clothes. Deciding I wasn't in the mood to wear a dress I went to the dresser getting out a top and pants to wear humming to myself to distract from the thoughts plaguing my mind. Slipping on the black pants I slipped on the pale blue tunic as I wore my flats. Going to brush out the tangles in my hair I looked in the mirror beginning to brush my hair as I jolted, the brush falling from my hands. Shaking I didn't see my face but the face of a small girl with violet eyes crying with blood staining her night gown as a black shadow of some creature loomed over her with glowing eyes. Turning away I closed my eyes shaking like a leaf and gripping my hair. No! No, no, no... t-that. That wasn't real. I'm jus... just exhausted and my dreams got the best of me. Slowly turning back to the mirror I held my breath. Closing my eyes and sighing I was happy to see it was just my reflection. I looked pale and like a scared animal. Rubbing my cheeks and brushing my hair out taking a couple deep breaths before taking a headband and pushing my hair back so it wouldn't get in the way. Getting up I felt how shakey I was from the experience. Closing my eyes I thought of Jareth as strength returned to my being calming myself. I would have to tell Evnic about this, she needs to know but I can't let Jareth know, he didn't need to worry about me needlessly.
