Chapter 15
Sarah had cleaned up Toby and quickly put him to bed. Keeping their combining room door open, Sarah started going over some of the supplies the Goblin Castle had already. She looked at a map of the castle itself and pulled out a piece of paper. She started off by finding the old underground kitchen, used when the kingdom was at war so long ago. She quickly rang a small enchanted bell on her desk and waited. Before long a single young Fae male entered her chambers.
"May Lady, what is it that you require"
Sarah smiled at the young looking man. His name was Jackson and he was named her personal assistant when all of this had started inside of Jareth's private Library. He knew she would require help doing her desired job during this war and had granted her several servants, but this young man as her assistant. She knew the young Fae lived in the goblin city and was newly married. He was a nice young gentleman.
"Ah Jackson, might I ask of you a small favor?"
"Of course my Lady. My job is to serve you as you help to serve our King and Kingdom"
"I have found some old kitchens below ground in part of the castle maps here. Can you send a few goblins down to inspect the old kitchens and see what needs to be done to bring them back to working order in case we need them while protecting the civilians while the fighting is happening overhead?"
"Of course my lady, would you like them to report to me or you?"
"Me please. The sooner I find this out the better. It will help me save many lives"
"Of course my lady, I am upon it"
With that that young Fae exited the room and Sarah sighed. She then went back to her plans. She knew she needed to check on her father, but she also needed to get this done as well. If she had Fae powers like Jareth, she could go down and fix the problems needing fixing. But at the moment she had to rely on others to do the work, which she despised. She wanted to show the kingdom and its residents just how much she cared for them by helping them. She wasn't doing a very good job in her opinion.
She quickly looked in on Toby, finding him fast asleep with what used to be her constant companion as a child, her bear Lancelot. She had given Toby her bear right after coming back from the Labyrinth the first time around. Now she watched her little boy as he peacefully slept with it when it hit her.
Her little boy; Toby was now her son. She was surprised to find it didn't bother her. Karen had been a horrible parent, and she had him with her most of the time anyway. Then her father had given her Toby, so by all that mattered, he was now her son. She just smiled as she watched him sleep for a bit, before going to check on her father. When she entered the room, the Fae healer was checking over him. Her father was fast asleep and the older man was showing great care for him. She startled him when she spoke.
"Thank You"
The man turned around quickly with a small fright intil he realized that it was Sarah addressing him.
"For what my Lady, I am only doing my job" he spoke softly.
"For takings such great care of my father. Thank You"
"You are most welcome, My Lady"
She watched as the man quietly left the room and once again looked upon her father. She could see the years on him, even in his sleep. It caused a small pocket of hatred in her heart for the woman that had caused it. Not only had Karen hurt her and her mother, but she had essentially killed her father. It was something she would never forgive the woman for. As she left the room, she was approached by a small goblin.
"My Lady, the beneath ground kitchens need much cleaning, but we believe they can be used. Do you wish for us to clean it tonight?"
"Yes" replied Sarah. "We might need to use them tomorrow if that is when the fighting starts. It will be our source of cooking and heat at that time"
"Very good Ma'am" and the goblin scurried off to do this requested job. Sarah went back to her chambers to look over the supply list again to see what they needed compared to the last census the kingdom had taken the year previous. She then compiled a list of things the other protected corners would need when going underground. She had to ask Jareth how much would it take for him to use his magic to create underground shelters for those civilians, she never noticed Jackson walking back into the room.
Jackson stood there and quietly watched Jareth's beloved make up several lists. He had to admit, he didn't think a mortal would care that much for their kingdom. He already knew that Sarah was 'The Sarah'. Her determination was known throughout the underground. He watched as she would look over one thing on the maps, then go and look upon the compiled lists, and then write something down on one of the many lists she had made out in the evening to keep things straight. Had to admire her fortitude. She was very through with what she did. It was the true mark of a woman that was born to be a Queen. He cleared his throat to let her know of his presence.
Sarah looked up to find Jackson watching her. It made her a bit uncomfortable, but knew the man was safe. She just didn't know why he was here.
"Yes Jackson?"
"Is there anything else you require tonight My Lady?"
"Not at the moment. If you need to go home, see if Jareth will command the bell to call upon another so you can spend time with your family tonight. I know I will probably be up most of the night working, so I know I'll be needing someone to assist me from time to time. There is much to do before the fighting begins and I want to make sure everything is in order and everyone is as safe as possible to reduce civilian deaths"
Jackson was surprised she was taking so much consideration into everything and everyone. She was truly the perfect Queen for their Kingdom.
"Thank you My Lady. I appreciate to consideration. I just wish to get a good night's sleep and spend some time with my wife and child before the fighting starts. No one knows when things will be back to normal again"
"Of course" replied Sarah. "Good Night Jackson"
"Good Night My Lady"
Jareth was thoroughly exhausted with war plans and strategies by the time Jackson entered his library. Even if he was surprised to see his young cousin, he had to admit he was good company.
"What can I do for you Jackson?"
"Sarah said for me to have you change the enchanted bell you gave her to ring another since I am heading home for the evening. She said she is to be up the rest of the night planning for everyone's survival. She is quite a woman Jareth"
"Yes, yes she is. Alright, if I must, I will have the bell call upon Marcus to give Sarah assistance. But remember this Jackson, Sarah might be one hell of a woman, but she's MY WOMAN"
Jackson had to laugh at his cousin's reaction. He had always been a jealous lover. He should have expected him to take his compliment wrong.
"I know that Jareth" he said with a chuckle. 'I'm just saying she is a wonderful woman and that you have chosen well for you Queen"
Jareth sat back and looked closely at his cousin. Jackson was a 2nd cousin and was well respected by Jareth. His father's cousin had produced the man in front of him, and he was a good and trusted friend. He was surprised Jackson approved of him taking a mortal bride. He knew something was up with that.
"So you don't mind that she is a mortal then?"
"Not at all, in fact I think it gives her a sort of charm. I do think though you need to grant her own Fae powers though, or at least think of turning her Fae. Especially at the list she has made up to ask your help for. I get the feeling off of her that she wishes she could do it without asking for help, but knows she can't. She has a lot of plans, and they are all for the safety of the kingdom and its occupants. She has a very caring and kind heart. But I also get the notion that if you have chosen her, she also has a dark side. Probably exceeding Christina's temper if she get angry enough"
Jareth busted out laughing at the last part. He was quite right; there was a certain fire about Sarah. She had the brains and the heart. She would be the perfect Queen beside him.
"Quite right you are Jackson, quite right you are. Good Night cousin, rest well"
"The same to you Jareth, rest well" and with a shower of blue glitter, Jackson was gone.
In the Troll Kingdom, Herald and Karen were looking for ways to invade. They knew the two kingdoms were watching the boarders closely. No doubt they knew if their return and would be prepared. They had to find an ingenious way to get around their forces. The Elves might not look it, but they could be a sneaky bunch if they had to be and they were brilliant fighters.
The Goblin Kingdom was nothing to laugh at either. It had been made up eons ago as a way to bring unwanted children from above into families in the underground that couldn't have children. Since most creatures in the underground live a lot longer than mortals, it made them suffer from infertility.
But that was not all the Goblin kingdom was known for. Not only Goblins resided inside the Goblin Kingdom. There were Dwarfs, Gnomes, Fae, Fierys, and a lot of breads that were of mixed origin. When someone wanted asylum, they ran to the Goblin Kingdom. Jareth always greeted them with open arms and told them they could stay if they followed the rules. There were also a lot of mystical creatures that also stayed there. Banshees, unicorns, jackalopes, dragons, and many more. Jareth did more than just rule over the unruly goblins.
When it came to goblins in war, they were also one of the most vicious, not unlike their King. They were loyal to an extent, but they were also cruel. They were known to follow Jareth's order to a t and they were also known for their torture techniques. The two races you didn't want to be taken as a prisoner of war was the Goblins and the Trolls. They were even crueler than the vampires.
"How do you plan to get around the bases camps at the border Herald?"
"I'm not sure yet. It seems both the Elfin and Goblin Kingdoms have them about 15 miles apart and they are heavily armored and their weapons have arrived. It would be a death wish to attack right were they are, and I'm not sure I can get them quietly through in between them. My trolls are too loud and too large"
Karen kept looking at the maps when her brother responded.
"I could use my magic to get them inside, but I would have to be careful of where I put them. There are a lot of areas I don't even want to attempt intil I crush them. The creatures that are there would rip my Trolls apart if they are not well rested and prepared"
"You mean like the Shadow Horde, the Banshee and the Dragons"
"Yes"
"Well" said Karen, "I don't think you should use your magic either"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because" replied Karen, "Not only would Christina and Jareth feel the magic shift inside of their own kingdoms like we can, but there is also way too many Trolls to attempt that with. You would kill yourself with Magic Exhaustion, and intil I Get my son back from that little bitch Sarah, I don't really think I could run the kingdom. I have not been back long Herald and my magic is just now coming in. If you exhaust yourself with just transferring the first wave, then how are you going to lead them? They are not all that bright you know"
Herald had to sit back and think. His sister had a good point with that. Not to mention he had already heard how she attended to his little toy being injured. She remembered that he didn't like losing his toys and he was thankful now that she had stepped in. He would have killed the girl if she hadn't done what she did.
Looking at her now, he wasn't all surprised that his father had married his cousin and made her his Queen. Their mother had been a Blonde Beauty and the longer Karen was in the Underground, the younger she was becoming. Not only did he feel her magic returning, but she had regressed back 20 years in mortal time and was once again a proper Fae Princess. Her dress made him remember just why he used to look upon her with delight.
Her hair and curled up again, her bust was firm and lifted again and whatever little weight she had gained in the Aboveground was gone. Her wrinkles were gone and her skin and eyes glowed once again. Karenith was an absolute sight to behold. He might just have to make Christina his Queen just to take her kingdom, then dethrone her and take Karenith as his Queen. At least then he would have a woman that could handle his brand of pleasure.
"That's it!" yelled Karenith and startled Herald out of his musings. It took him a moment to remember what she was looking at to realize she had a way to invade the kingdoms. He rushed over to where Karen was standing to look at what she had found.
When he realized what she had found, he picked her up and swung her around before kissing her. Karen resisted at first then melted into him. She knew he didn't take rejection lightly and he couldn't resist any longer. They were two twisted minds coming together as well, with plans to take down the most powerful family in the Underground. It was easy to see they were sick and twisted on more than just one level.
Sometime after Jackson had retired, Jareth decided to check on Sarah. He didn't doubt it when Jackson said Sarah had planned to be up all night preparing. But he also knew she needed her rest for the fight ahead of them. She was mortal after all; he didn't know how long mortals could stay up when needed. From what he knew, it depended on the mortal.
He wasn't surprised to find Marcus going through lists that Sarah had compiled and a coffee maker going strong in the corner. On four blackboards behind a now scattered desk, was a map of his Kingdom, separated into sections; a list of supplies, all equaling meals in threes; a weapons list and a diaphragm of the lower sections of the castle; a roaster of the guard she would need in each section of the kingdom, with a drawn up underground bunkers, in 3d design that he had never seen before; and the fourth was nothing but a list of things she needed Jareth to do for her before the fighting started.
Looking at his impromptu 'To Do List', he now understood what Jackson had meant by either granting Sarah her own Fae powers, or making her a Fae altogether. Everything she had thought up, planned and demised was not only to help the soldiers that would be fighting to protect the Goblin Kingdom, but to save to inhabitants of the kingdom from getting hurt. She was 'One Hell of a Woman' and was already acting like a true Queen, looking after her people.
"I told her it was too much your highness, but the woman won't listen. She doesn't understand that death follows with battle. She is too young"
Jareth turned to address Marcus. While Marcus was loyal to Jareth, he hadn't learned to be loyal to Sarah yet. That would have to change. And he knew just how to do that and knock the snobbish Fae down a notch or two as well.
"Not really Marcus, I was actually expected a much bigger list. She has planned well though, even if her list is smaller than I expected. She will make a fine Queen"
Marcus soon found himself with his jaw touching the ground. His King couldn't be serious! That list was enormous!
"But your majesty, she doesn't understand what it would take for our kingdom to build those in such a small time. How do you suppose it would be done?"
Jareth turned around, giving the other Fae a hard look before responding.
"I am your King Marcus, so watch your tone. Not to mention I have even better control of my magic abilities than most. Sarah made this list because she has no powers of her own, or trust me, she would be trying to use magic to do this herself"
"Damn right I would be, and that list is not yet done Jareth"
Both men turned around to see Sarah leaning against the doorframe of her bathroom. She quickly walked to her desk as if she had always belonged in this room, in this castle and sat down with a grace most Fae woman did not possess. But then again, this was Sarah. She held a state of regard most do not see in mortals anymore. Only royalty did, and one day Sarah would be just that. Royalty.
"Marcus"
"Yes My Lady"
"Could you please leave for a moment, I need to speak to Jareth"
"Yes My Lady, of course. Just ring the bell when you need me"
"Of course Marcus and thank you for your help"
"Yes My Lady, anytime"
When the other Fae walked out of the room, Jareth took another good look at Sarah. Even though she was beautiful, he could tell she was exhausted. She was starting to get dark circles under her eyes, and she had had a trying day before even arriving here, let alone after.
"Precious, you need to rest"
"I can't rest Jareth. We are about to enter into a war. I know you have a job to do, I understand. But if you want to be with me, and I know I want to be with you, than you have to let me fight beside you. I'm not asking much, just let me fight beside you. Because you're going to be on that field out there, but I'm going to be on the field here"
Jareth stopped for a moment to look into Sarah's eyes, and saw at that moment more than a determined and stubborn soul. He saw his equal, his other half. This was his Sarah, this was his Queen, and this was the woman he loved.
Before Sarah knew what happened next, Jareth grabbed Sarah and pulled her to him. Their lips meet in a fight of fierce battle, neither wanting to give into the other, but their long awaited passion would wait no longer. Jareth lead her to the bed and didn't break to kiss as he laid her down upon it. Her touch was like the flames of a fire. Each touch set him aflame. He wanted, needed her, loved her, and he was going to make her his.
Sarah couldn't explain how it happened. One moment she was standing face to face with Jareth, letting him know that if he really wanted her, than to let her fight beside him. Then he kissed her and she was gone. She had loved him from the first time she saw him in her parents bedroom, dressed in his goblin king regalia. Now he had her pinned to her bed, which she already suspected was also his, but at the moment she really didn't care. Everywhere he touched she burned. It was almost too much, and yet she wanted more.
Quickly they dispersed themselves of all their clothing and Jareth had to sit back and take in the beauty that was his Queen. Her long black hair curled and cascaded around her head like a halo, her pale and unmarred white skin were a bright contrast compared to the dark blue sheets beneath her. Her lips swollen from his kisses and yet so full and pouty he swore he could just eat them. But nothing compared to her eyes, her emerald green orbs that were currently glazed over in passion and love, as her hand explored his body as his eyes explored her.
"You are so beautiful precious and I plan on worshipping you everyday for the rest of your life"
With that said Jareth lowered himself on top of Sarah and kissed her till she felt like her brain had melted and ran out her ears, intil her heart felt like it was to explode from the love radiating off of Jareth. She kissed back and moaned as his hands traveled from the back on her head, down to her breast. She gasped as he pulled and twisted her nipple, making her arch up into him. Feeling her arch up, made Jareth moan out. Gods, this woman was going to make him lose it before he even entered her.
Apparently Sarah was thinking the same thing because she opened her legs wider and arched up again. Sarah watched as Jareth broke the kiss and pulled away a bit, squeezing his eyes shut and knew exactly what to do to make him scream in pleasure. Just because she was a virgin didn't mean her friends were. Amber had once told her about a little trick to make a man go wild. She arched again, rubbing against Jareth's erection before finding the right angle. Once his tip was at her opening, she moved her hips up a bit, just enough to bring the tip of him inside of her tight opening.
It was too much, he couldn't hold back any longer. Jareth grabbed her hips and thrust quickly inside of her. He screamed her name just as she screamed as well, just not for the same reason. Jareth tensed at the sound of her scream, knowing something was not right. Opening his eyes after a moment, he saw the tears leaking out the side of her eyes. That was when he realized that he had not only pushed himself inside of her, but he had broken her maidenhead. Sarah had been truly and purely innocent. She had waited for him. He had hurt her unintentionally.
"Shh, I'm so sorry Sarah. Please don't cry precious, I didn't mean to hurt you"
Sarah gasped for a bit. She had done it; she had given Jareth the most precious thing she could ever give anyone, her innocence. She breathed through the pain and then pulled Jareth down to kiss him. He responded gently as her tongue probed his mouth, mapping out every space and crevice. When she finally moved her hips, Jareth got the idea and started to move slowly.
This apparently was not enough for Sarah. She understood he was being careful due to the fact she was new at this, but she didn't want careful. She wanted passion, and she knew that Jareth was holding him back. She interrupted his rhythm by moving her hips in a circular motion. Jareth grabbed her hips and whispered harshly.
"If you keep that up precious, I'm not going to be able to hold myself back. I don't want to hurt you"
"My Love, I don't want you to go slow. I love you, make me yours. It might be my first time but I'm not made of glass. There is time for sweet love making later. Show me your passion now My King and I will show you mine. I've dreamed of this for too long, waited too long"
With that being said, Sarah pulled him down to her and gave him a punishing kiss. Jareth responded with kind and soon their passion was over flowing. Their movements quickened and they both were crying out in pleasure. They were finally together at last; they were finally one soul, one body, two hearts beating as one.
Before long, Sarah was meeting him thrust for thrust and his body started to tense. He knew his orgasm was approaching fast. He could also tell hers was as well. It was the perfect opportunity. He silently mouthed the spell to change her into a Fae and reached his one hand down to push his thumb into clitoris. Sarah gasped at the sensation that it caused her, and as Jareth started moving faster and harder within her, Sarah could feel a coil in her belly tighten.
"Jareth, oh god Jareth. Please Jareth please"
Jareth raised her hips a slight bit and hit a spot deep within Sarah that had her gasping for breath. She started ramming her hips up into his punishing thrusts and Jareth started pushing harder, moving faster and moving his finger in a circular motion with the pressure he was applying to her clit. Her next words made him moan out and almost had him crying out in pleasure.
"Oh god Jareth, right there Jareth, right there my love. Please Jareth, make me yours"
Jareth could hold in his passion no longer and started ramming inside of her. All at once, Sarah screamed out his name as she clenched around him. He stopped pressing into her clit to grab her hips, and with one last almighty thrust screamed Sarah's name loudly as he spilled his seed within her tight passage, tripping Sarah into another massive orgasm.
Jareth saw stars behind his eyes at the explosion of pleasure that was ripping through his body, to the point it was almost painful for him. He had done it, he had made her his, just as he had been made his so long ago when she first captured his heart. Jareth collapsed to Sarah's side, pulling her on top of him. Still connected, they waited for their breathing to calm before Jareth asked.
"Why didn't you tell me Precious? If I had known you were pure, I would have been more careful"
Sarah looked up into his eyes, seeing the worry etched in them. She didn't want him upset or to be filled with regret. She loved him. She loved the Goblin King.
"I didn't want you to take it slow. I heard it hurts worse that way"
Jareth was surprised by her answer. He hadn't expected it whatsoever. Just what exactly had she been told?
"What do mean 'you heard' precious?"
Sarah blushes a deep red before responding.
"Just because I was a virgin, doesn't mean my best friend was. You learn a lot from your friends Jareth, and let's just say I learned a lot from my best friend Amber."
It was then he understood. She had a close friend that was 'active'. She had heard things from her friend. She had been told things she wouldn't have usually known because of this friend. He didn't know if he should be grateful or scared of this 'Amber' girl.
"So Precious, what else did your friend Amber tell you about?"
Sarah grinned and then asked could he 'clean' himself with his magic. He grinned arrogantly as he snapped his fingers, removing all evidence of the previous love making they had just commenced. Sarah couldn't help but smile at his arrogance, but he didn't act arrogant for long as he noticed Sarah's grin before she started kissing down his body. Sarah soon showed him just how much she had learned from Amber.
