Chapter 4
The next day, Karen was determined to find out exactly what Sarah was up too, but found herself road blocked. Apparently, she had forgotten about a lunch date with her friends and was about to take Toby with her, until realizing the fancy restaurant they were attending would not fit in with Toby around. A nice car came and picked Karen up around two, and Karen left. Soon after, an emergency meeting called Robert away to his Law Office in town, leaving Sarah and Toby home alone. After putting Toby down for his nap, Sarah rushed up to the attic room. It didn't take long to figure out what she wanted from the room. She quickly repacked certain things and took them downstairs to her and Toby's room. Placing everything either under her bed, or in her closet, it had taken Sarah exactly two hours to get everything done. She showered and washed her clothes quickly, drying them, and then putting them back on. She made Toby lunch and played with him, while teaching him how to read.
Karen arrived home at five o'clock to find Sarah had already put dinner in the oven and had the table set for dinner. She also had Toby in the living room watching an educational, but fun video. The house was clean and nothing was out of place. Karen was still suspicious though. She knew deep in her gut that the little bitch was up to something. She just didn't know what. She carefully watched Sarah as she started placing dinner on the table and then went up to her room with Toby to get him ready for dinner. Sarah wasn't acting differently, but it was her behavior the night before.
When Robert got home, Sarah took Toby and went and gave him a bath and put him to bed, saying that Toby was tired and she had to study for a couple of big tests. She suggested That Karen and her dad watch a movie and have some 'them' time. Robert thought it a wonderful idea and Karen was forced to agree. Now she knew Sarah was up to something.
Sarah quickly washed up Toby and put him to bed. She sat on her bed and studied a bit before feeling the air change. Looking up there was once again a well dressed Elf. Sarah motioned him over, but placed a finger to her mouth to let the elf know to be silent. She quickly wrote on a piece of paper and showed the elf.
'Parents are down stairs. Need a way were I can talk to Christina without getting into trouble. I think Karen knows something is up'
The elf understood and handed Sarah a scroll and smiled. He then disappeared. Sarah wasn't too surprised when she read the scroll.
"Dearest Sarah,
I have been watching and have put glamour on your closet and under your bed. I am currently on my way home to my castle and I am hoping for my reinforcements to show up soon. Do you have everything ready? I hope to protect you and the little prince until I can safely return you both to the underground. I am going to also place a protection spell on the both of you when I return home. That should help you hide better from that wreathed woman. She is watching you so be careful. If you need to talk to me, just write on this scroll. The words will disappear as soon as you speak the words;
I wish this letter be received by the Elfin Queen immediately
The words will appear on a scroll carried with me at all times. Please also write back some information I need to know. What is your favorite color? What is your favorite flower? What is you favorite season, but most of all, what is your favorite foods? I need to know for when you and the little prince arrive here. Also, what are some things that the little Prince might enjoy? It is vital to know this, along with any known medical problems, in case something might come up in the future.
Sincerely with love,
You're Sister-in-law,
Queen Christina
Sarah had to be careful not to laugh. If she thought Jareth was careful, then his sister must be a perfectionist. She instantly knew she would love his sister. But she still had to wonder, how was she going to save her and Toby when the time came when Jareth didn't know how to? It was just something she was going to have to trust in and wait for.
Meanwhile back in the Goblin Kingdom, Jareth was pounding his head. He knew his sister was up to something, and while he couldn't fathom what, he had to be ready. He quickly summoned a crystal ball and watched Sarah writing on a glamour scroll. Well, just because he couldn't read the scroll, didn't mean he couldn't read her mind. Walking up to the Queen's rooms beside his, Jareth started to work. First he made a blue, silver and white room for Sarah, adding touches here and there according to Sarah's secret desires. He then moved to a set of rooms across from the queen's chambers. This would be Toby's room. He started laughing when he read the sleeping boys mind. Dragons, by the love of the Gods, the boy loved Dragons. He decorated the room to fit Toby's tastes and then retired to bed with just one thought on his mind.
'Sweet Christina, I hope you know what you are doing. I can't live through this broken heart twice. But if you succeed, I will make sure what ever you love and are hiding from me and our parents, will be grated to you'
Queen Gwenivere was waiting for her daughter in the Elfin Kingdom's throne room. She knew Christina needed her for something important and it had to do with her son and the labyrinth's champion. Her husband, King Arthur, was waiting in Avalon, thinking that there needed to be a mother/daughter talk. She just hoped Christina wasn't barking up the wrong tree.
