Aida stood right outside of the throne room. She was clutching her hands together with nervousness. She could hear Jareth's boots on the stone floor from his pacing from inside the throne room. Aida was surprised how quickly two days had passed. She knew that Sarah had not eaten or drank anything within the past days. Aida was worried that the young lady would be too disoriented to comprehend what was going on. All she could do was wait, and see what was to become of the situation.
It seemed like Aida was standing there forever until Jareth emerged from his throne room. The doors flew open and he slowly walked out. He noticed Aida standing there. All he could do was smirk at how worried she looked. He walked right by her and started to head to the dungeon.
Aida slowly followed behind him, making sure not to get too close.

Sarah heard the door hinges squeak and she slowly turned her body, not completely getting up. She was so weak and tired. She felt disgusting and was not exactly smelling like roses. She hadn't showered since she was last at home. She was covered in dust and dirt. Her clothes were no longer wearable and her hair was a wreck.
Sarah noticed black boots behind the bars. She slowly lifted her head up only to see Jareth with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. It seemed that her state was not even noticeable to him.
"So precious, do you have any idea why I have graced you with my presence?" Sarah just looked up with her tired eyes and then looked down and noticed Aida there. She gave no evidence on her face that she noticed Aida.
Aida was right behind Jareth and had her finger to her lips, telling her not to speak. Sarah then looked up again and shook her head, no.
Jareth then smiled. "Well Sarah dear, I have come to make you a deal. You have two options, but you cannot hear the second option until you answer the first one. Also once you chose you cannot go back on your decision"
"Well, that is not much of an option." There was so much dryness in Sarah's voice, it hurt her to speak.
Jareth chuckled "If that is how you want to look at it, then fine. "
"And what if I do not want to play your little game Goblin King?" Sarah tried her best to seem strong but failed.
"Than my precious I will decide your fate." Sarah knew very well that it was not a fair outcome.
"Fine, Goblin King! What is my option?"
"What I want is very simple. All you have to do is agree to marry me with no fuss. Also taking up the responsibilities as queen, which are going to meetings, making public appearances" Jareth took a long pause. "Also of course, producing an heir." Sarah's face was distorted in disgust once she heard the word "heir".
Sarah used what little strength she had left to stand up. Her features became very angry.
"If YOU think I would EVER marry you then you are mistaken!" She yelled with such disgust. Jareth was furious at her response but kept his cool.
Taking a deep breath Jareth spoke. "Now Sarah I would watch your tone if I were you." Sarah took a deep breath.
"Now Sarah I will ask again. Do you agree to these terms?" Sarah was about to speak but Jareth cut her off. "Also I would think wisely if I were you."
Sarah was so tired and confused and overwhelmed to think straight. All she could think of was; how could she ever come to terms with producing an heir with him?
She did not notice Aida trying to motion to her to calm down and think.
Sarah clenched her hands into fists. "I could NEVER marry a conceited person like you!"
"Is that your final answer Sarah?" Jareth said with a warning tone.
"I repeat, I will never marry you." Sarah said it with such venom.
Aida put her hands in her face in disappointment.
Jareth was fuming with rage. "Then Sarah Williams you have chosen option number two. Which I know you will regret. "
Sarah braced herself with what was coming next. She was so weak and his rage only made her feel weaker.
"Since you denied my nice offer once again Sarah, the outcome will not be so pleasant. From here now on you are to be my personal slave. You are never to be able to return to the Above Ground again! Anything I ask of you must be done; if not then there WILL be consequences."
Sarah's mind was going a hundred miles per-hour. It hit her she had no chance of getting home. She was stuck in this hell forever. Also, who knows what Jareth would ask of her? Sarah all of a sudden felt light headed, and then her world went black.
