Selena and La Muerte talked about the human.
"I swear to you, she didn't even smell like she was turning into a goblin. I've never met a human with violet eyes before either, unless they are contacts," she told her as she seemed intrigued. Selena then held her hands to her cheeks smiling dreamily. "And her voice is so sweet when she sings~. Jareth most defiantly got a unique one, I'm so jealous I don't have a human like that around the castle." She giggled at her smiling brightly.
"Are you still on about the human?" Xibalba asked a bit sarcastically. "So she has pretty eyes and voice. So do many other humans."
"When you meet her you'll know. She's not like all the other humans you've met," Selena said sticking her tongue out at him while he wasn't looking before going back to smiling as La Muerte giggled behind her hand. Tyron was wondering around the gardens before he stopped seeing Violet looking at a blue caterpillar perched on her finger and smiling to them.
"Violet?" He asked as she still looked to the caterpillar. She then began to sing as he stopped his walk towards her and listen.
"Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right here where you left it
Laying upside down
When you finally find it
You'll see how it's faded
The other side is lighter
When you turn it around
Everything stays
Right here where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly
In little ways
Everything stays." Moving to walk towards her again he froze hearing Selena call for him. Who he thought was Violet looked to him but their eyes were closed as they smiled gently. Seeing them slowly open their eyes and beginning to speak he stepped closer to hear her.
"Tyron! I've been calling for you!" Selena said as he jumped looking to her and put a hand to his chest as she raised an eyebrow at him. "Darling, why do you seem so shocked? Did you not hear me call for you?" She asked him walking over to him and putting a hand to his shoulder. He looked back at Violet but found she was no longer there and felt confused at this. Looking to his wife befuddled he sighed some.
"I thought I saw Violet. She seemed to be trying to say something but I couldn't hear her," he told her and she seemed confused at this looking to him.
"Darling, Lucifer just told us that Violet was with her friend getting ready for the ball and that Jareth was giving us rooms to rest in if we got tired of the garden," she told him as his eyes widen. He looked back to the spot he thought he saw Violet and then to his wife. "Tyron... do you think maybe."
"No, no we said it couldn't be true. They've been gone for ages and it can't possibly be her. That prophecy is nothing but fairytales, the ones we tell ourselves to make up for not doing anything. Violet is just a human girl that is different," he said not wanting to go into further discussion about it. "I'm just a bit tired and the fairies around Jareth's castle are playing tricks with my mind." Selena nod her head smiling to him and kissing his lips gently.
"You're right, come on, let's go to the others," she told him pulling him along. Walking back to La Muerte and Xibalba.
Lucifer's POV
Walking through the halls I sighed some. When I woke up from my nap I saw Violet just sitting there holding the broken dreamcatcher as she seemed lost before I spoke up to her. She smiled acting like her normal self and asking why I was in her room. After telling her what happen she seemed confused like she didn't remember as Evnic woke up and checked Violet. She seem normal but something was bothering. She seemed too relaxed and calm, even if the dreamcatcher kept her mind calm it was broken now and she should feel the pain or just a bit exhausted. Was she accept what she was? If so when will it show what she really was? She still seem and smelled human. There was something different about her that he could sense and see. She seemed more confident, like she knew herself better and less like she was thinking about everything she did. Sitting outside I sighed some hoping she would either retain being human or at least when she changed her mind wouldn't go too much. Evnic and Jareth really cared about her. Chuckling I didn't know which one cared about her more, Jareth or Evnic. Well, sorry Evnic, I'll have to give this one to Jareth. Speaking of the Goblin King, I should tell him Violet is awake and fine.
Jareth's POV
Opening the door to Violet's room quickly I saw Violet jump putting a hand to her heart as she smiled.
"Jareth! You scared me half to death," she said but I didn't care as I moved to hug her tightly to me closing my eyes. "Jareth..." I just pet her hair hugging her close against my chest.
"I thought you wouldn't wake up. I thought you wouldn't be the same when you did wake up," I told her as she hugged me back as I felt her run a hand through my hair.
"I'm sorry, I'm feeling much better now, I don't even feel exhausted," she said moving to lay her chin on my chest as I open my eyes to see her looking up at me and smiling gently. Smiling some I kissed her forehead sitting her in my lap as I held her close. She blushed some as I heard Evnic giggling from the other side of the bed. Violet then nuzzled her face into my chest as I chuckled some hugging her closer.
"Mm~ so warm," she mumbled against my chest as I laughed some relaxing now that I knew she was alright. Violet then turned so she had her back pressed against my chest as I moved my arms around her waist as her arms laid on top of mine. Sighing I closed my eyes again as she giggled. "Evnic said that Lord Tyron and Lady Selena are here."
"Yeah so is La Muerte, she rules the realm of the remembered while her husband Xibalba rules the realm of the forgotten. Tyron and Selena are excited to see again. I told them they will see you at the ball and that you were resting," I told her as she nod her head.
"Well we were about to go get ready till you came in sire," Evnic said as Luci nod her head.
"But we can wait a bit right?" Violet asked her as Evnic sighed.
"I guess we have time. Meet me in my room when you're ready," she told Violet getting up waving to her Violet waved back to her as she left. I smiled as Violet just lean back humming softly. Just listening to her hum helped me relax some more.
"Shall I sing you a song, Sire~?" Violet in a sing along voice as I chuckled shaking my head.
"Not now, just sing me something at the ball. I...I was really worried Violet. I let Sarah slip through my fingers and I was worried I would lose you too," I told her.
"Who's Sarah?" Violet asked me moving her hand to compare it to mine to see how much smaller it was to mine.
"Someone I believed I loved, I turn the world upside down for her, I even moved the stars for her. Yet she didn't love me back. I have lived in this castle for so long and just wanted someone to be with me. I had believed she would love me. Then seeing you and knowing you has been more then I can ever ask for," I mumbled into her hair. "You've brighten my world and showed me warmth. You could have hated me for being taken from your family but you didn't. You became my friend and embraced my world instead of making me change it for you." Burying my face into her shoulder I took in her gentle scent. Lavenders, roses, and honey; I don't know how she got that scent but she seemed to always smell of those things. I felt Violet tugging at my glove as I held my hand letting her remove it. Looking up I saw her take it as she brought it to her face kissing my palm. Blushing some I looked to her confused as she open her eye looking to me.
"Did you know that where you kiss someone there is a meaning behind it? Kisses on the hand means you adore them," she said blushing lightly but smiling still holding my hand. I smiled moving to take her hand as I pulled it close kissing her knuckles as I looked to her hoping she could see how much she meant to me in my eyes. She only blushed darker looking to me still smiling. I smiled holding her hand to my cheek closing my eyes. I then smirked some thinking of something evil.
"Can you tell me what other kisses mean?" I asked her opening my eyes and acting like it was a normal question as she blushed more looking away.
"U-um, well k-kisses on the cheek mean 'we're friends' a-and and," she began to trail off as she spoke and I chuckled watching her just get a dazed look in her eyes looking to me. More specifically my lips. Taking her head I tilted it down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
"I hope we're together forever," moving I kissed her ear feeling her shiver some and seeing her close her eyes as she whimpered softly as I spoke into her ear. "You're my everything." Looking to her blushing face I lean forward pressing a gentle loving kiss to her lips. Still holding her hand I moved so our fingers intertwined together. Pulling back I pressed my forehead to hers.
"I love you." I told her as I looked into her eyes. She teared up moving to wrap her arms around my neck smiling brightly.
"I love you too," she replied back as I wiped her tears away.
"Then why are you crying? Don't cry," I told her kissing a tear away.
"I'm just so happy you love me, b-but will you still love if I change? When I'm not the same and whatever is happening to me takes control of me finally?" she asked me as I pecked her lips.
"You will always be Violet, nothing can change how I feel about you. I found true love in you, something I thought was out of my reach for a long time. Nothing is going to take that away from me," I told her smiling as she smiled pressing kisses to my faces as I laughed at how she continued to peck my face repeatedly. Leaning back pretending to get away I fell on the bed with her on my chest as I looked to her smiling brightly. She smiled back to blushing brightly but the love in her eyes to me. She sat up some as I held her waist.
"I should go see Evnic and get ready for the ball," she said though I pouted not liking the idea of her going so soon from me. She smiled moving to kiss me as I held the back of her head to keep her there for a bit longer. Pulling back I smiled gently as she held my face. "I'm really not dreaming this am I?" I laughed smiling to her shaking my head feeling the same way.
"No, this is real," I said pulling her hand to press against where my heart was beating against my chest. She then had this light almost drunken giggle as she covered her mouth and closed her eyes giggling some more. It was so cute to see her so happy and carefree like this. It meant more knowing I had caused her to be so happy. "Alright I'll let you go get ready then." She smiled getting up and slipping on her shoes before I sat up and peeked over at the covered mannequin that had Violet's dress under it. Hands covered my eyes as I fell back against Violet's chest.
"No peeking you. You'll see it at the ball," she said as I laughed some smiling.
"Fine~, only because I love you," I told her moving her hands and looking up at her. Getting up I left the room with her as I kissed her one last time with my arms wrapped around her waist. "Until I see you again." She giggled as I disappeared around the corner to outside smiling brightly.
"Well if someone seems pleased with themselves," Selena said raising an eyebrow at me as I only chuckled to her.
Third Person's POV
The Goblin King smiled and greeted all his guests. He saw Evnic with Lucifer but no Violet yet. He was growing worried after a while. Then like some sense he turned to the french doors that lead into the ball and saw her standing there. Her gown was pure white that shimmered the pale colors of the rainbow as she moved some, it was styled as himation dress, her left strap turned into a sort of cape as patterns of flowers started at the shoulder flowing out down the rest of the cape, a golden belt of interact swirls and a design of a butterfly synched in the dress some to show of her figure, and a golden chocker decorated her neck with an opal stone in the center. Her hair flow down her back as small parts on either side where braided back then pinned into the shape of a flower at the back of her skull with golden butterfly clips to keep it in place; her bangs were curled slightly and framed her delicate face. Instead of wearing a mask her face there was blue and purple shadowed around her eyes which spread into interact swirls forming a butterfly mask as her lips were painted a beautiful shade of pink. Jareth couldn't take his eyes off her as he walked over to her. He wore black pants and boots, his coat shimmered like raven feathers of purples and blues, the black high collar shirt he wore under neath had ruffles and a silver moon pinned on it. His mask unlike was a goblin mask with silver tipped horns and on the fang teeth. Violet could still see his eyes and the lower part of his mouth as he smiled to her taking her hand and kissing her knuckles. She blushed some before giving him a small curtsy.
"My King," she spoke softly looking down before looking up at him as he smiled more.
"My songbird, come the fun has just begun," He said pulling her to him and beginning to dance with her as he lead her to where everyone was dancing. She gasped and looked around feeling uncomfortable. Moving his had to wrap around her waist she looked up at him as he leaned closer to her. "Don't look to them, just keep your eyes on me and you'll be fine." Feeling her relax as she nod her head smiling he pulled back some. The other guests looked to The Goblin King with the human and whispered. They could no deny that she was beautiful but wonder if this human was anything like the last that came into his kingdom. Having heard whispers of the human from Tyron and Selena they wondered how special this little human was to the King, some even wanted to steal her away from the Goblin King. Selena went over as she interrupted the dance moving to hug Violet as she stiffen some not expecting it. Hugging back lightly Selena giggled pulling back to hold Violet's shoulder.
"Oh you look so darling~. I'm so happy you are here, I can't wait to hear you sing again. I just can't get the sound of your voice out of my head," she said smiling brightly to Violet who blushed some.
"O-oh well I promise to sing later, my Lady," she said politely bowing her head as Selena giggled clasping her hands together.
"So darling~," she giggled as Tyron chuckled before holding his hand out to Violet.
"Little songbird, could have a dance with you?" He asked her. Looking to Jareth who nod his head slightly she laid her hand in his as Selena pouted some. He smiled putting his other hand on the middle of her back pulling Violet to dance with him. "Don't pout dear, you can dance with her later." Selena giggled smiling before dragging Jareth away to talk. Violet remain silent as she danced with Tyron not sure what to say.
"Did you happen to be in the garden earlier today?" He asked her and she looked to him confused before shaking her head.
"No, I've been inside the castle all day," she told him as he seemed sadden that she said that. "I'm sorry." He smiled kindly to her shaking his head.
"No no, it's nothing, I was just curious. You do look very beautiful as a butterfly," he said as she smiled brightly. "There's a red moon tonight, it's very exciting."
"I know, I've never seen a red moon before," she said looking up to the skylight before to him.
"Did you know under a red moon those that are hiding will show what they really are? As in if you were one of us you would change into what you really are," he told her as she looked to him fascinated at what he said.
"So I'll see what everyone looks like if they are hiding? That's amazing," she giggled some smiling. Dancing more she saw Evnic being held by Lucifer as they watched everyone dance. As the night progressed she had lost sight of Jareth and went to get something to drink. Feeling something tug on her dress she looked to see a goblin wearing a bow tie as he grin widely. Turning to him completely he held his hand out to her. Giggling she took it as he pulled her away to the balcony. Standing outside she felt the wind ruffle her hair before looking to the goblin as he was joined by another.
"Can we sing you a song Ms. Violet?" He asked her as she smiled nodding her head before watching as the two giggled smiling brightly.
"Red moon, red moon...
Cleanses the sinful an makes them anew...
Shining brightly in the night sky.
Waiting for the souls...
Who will be born again tonight?
Who will be born again, tonight?" As the song ended Violet looked up to see the red moon shinning through the clouds. The goblins shifted into their human forms and giggled before running off as Violet stood there. Her eyes widen as her whole body was captured in the light of the blood red moon eyes glowing brightly.
