Lana didn't move, she seemed lost. "Jareth.." She breathed his name with a slight sigh, but he easily ignored it and deepened the kiss. Lana didn't want to move but she needed to. She pulled away gently blushing. "I'm sorry..I just cant.." Jareth seemed a bit disappointed but he nodded. Lana didn't know what to say at this point. Jareth stepped towards her pulling her close to him.

"Go get some sleep, Lana. You've had a long night. I will see you in the morning." He didn't smile or anything just simply held her near to him. Lana looked up at him. "What about you? Aren't you going to sleep?" Jareth chuckled. "No, now go on." With this he gave her a little push towards the door. Lana nodded and left somewhat quickly. Jareth sighed as he left the ballroom.

Once back in his own room Jareth summoned a crystal. Peering into it he noticed something. "Damn her!" Jareth teleported appearing right over Lana who woke up and screamed. But Jareth paided no mind to her and lunged at the shadow who had entered the room. There was a bit of scuffling and then it was over. Jareth emerged from the shadows. "Are you all right?" Kana stared at him wide eyed and nodded. "y-yes"

Jareth turned back around and sent the unconscious body to another room. "I will return shortly." And he was gone again. Jareth reappeared next to the body his own body showing his anger. "GET UP!" The person on the floor shook themselves awake and jumped at the sight of Jareth. "Jar-Jareth" a female voice breathed. Jareth stepped towards her and she scooted away. "Get up, now." She nodded standing already knowing the trouble she was in.

"Give me on good reason why I shouldn't kill you, Cat." Cat backed away in fear which only made Jareth smile. "Well?" Cat stuttered a bit. "B-because I am your f-friend." Jareth laughed coldly. "You are no friend of mine. Not after what you just pulled." Cat winced. "Now get out of my Kingdom before I behead you." Cat edged towards the door. "NOW!" She took off running towards the castle doors.

Lana was still awake when Jareth returned. She sat in her bed waiting for him. She could see his anger all over and didn't dare mock or tease him like normal. "What did they want?" Jareth stood at the window watching Cat run for her life. "She wanted to kill you, thinking she could have me again." Lana got up and stood beside him trying to see what he saw. Jareth looked down at her and he could hardly breath. "Lana!" Lana looked up at him and blinked. "What?" Jareth quickly turned his head another direction. "Why are you only in your underwear?"

Lana blushed and giggled. "Because that's how I sleep." Jareth was trying to control himself, but his body was screaming with need. "Please put something on. You are driving me insane." Lana realized what he meant and only then realized just how much his body was responding to the sight of her almost completely nude body, only covered by her hair and underwear. "I'm sorry." Lana walked over to the bed to grab her shirt but a hand stopped her. "No, I'm sorry. I should have checked first."

Lana blushed and gazed up at him. "Jareth..I..want." But he stopped her with a small kiss. "I know." Lana sighed and looked away wanting nothing more then to return home. But just as soon as the thought crossed her mind again there she was in her room. "What..the.." Jareth chuckled finishing her sentence. "Hell?" Lana blushed again.

Jareth sighed softly and stepped away from her his features masked just as well as his emotions. "You are home now, Lana. Goodbye." "Jareth wait! I didn't get to say-" She sighed knowing he wouldn't hear her. "say goodbye.." Lana sighed and fell into her bed falling into a deep sleep. Only t o be pulled gruffly awake moments later by her mother. "Lana!" Lana opened her eyes sleepily. "Mom?" Sarah pulled Lana into a tight hug. Lana became fully awake. "MOM!" She hugged her back tightly.

Sarah and Lana both laughed and cried happily. Not knowing that a certain someone was watching them from his palace. "Be happy Lana, my sweet." With a sigh Jareth laid back in his bed not really sleeping, just relaxing. But soon sleep overcame him and he didn't care about the real world it was his dreams that mattered now.
