Chapter 2
Jareth paced his throne room; with the doors locked he could show his worry and anxiety. Darcy was missing. His little sister was missing. And what was more the fae council seem to care. They had past her absence as her leaving to go to a university. Her note had confirmed it in their eyes.
'Jareth, I'm leaving for my four years. I hope that you will understand that I do not wish to be followed. I truly hope that you do find her.
Darcy x
Jareth knew Darcy. She rarely left anywhere in such discretion. She loved attention, which was probably why she became such firm friends with Puck in the first place. Jareth suspected she was plotting something, something big. And that worried him especially.
Jareth was so busy pacing he didn't notice his father appear, lounging across the throne.
"Well, well Jareth it seems you only stop mooning over one beautiful woman when you start worrying about another. Jareth paused in his pacing to look at Oberon.
"Father you know Darcy would never do something like this, not normally anyway. Something's wrong, I know it."
"Jareth, I'm sure..."
"Father, anything you may know, anything at all that could tell us why she left and where she went, please. Why did you send her here?"
Oberon sighed and ran his fingers through his blonde hair.
"I should have known you would ask me this, very well I owe you that."
"It is not me you owe father."
Oberon stood to face his son.
"I'm sure you heard of Darcy's recent ..." Oberon had to think for a moment "... friendship with my servant boy." Jareth scoffed.
"Of course I did, that gossiping whore Lady Arielle wouldn't stop wittering about it at the last assembly." Oberon gave Jareth a look.
"Don't be rude, Jareth. Yes I am aware that the lady has been running her mouth rather a lot. Unfortunately I found a few weeks before I sent her to you, that their relationship had taken a more... 'romantic' approach."
"They were courting?" Jareth whispered. "You sent you're only daughter away because they were COURTING!" Jareth's tone raised as he spoke.
" They weren't courting and even if they were I wouldn't send her away for it." His father's tone was clipped. "I sent her away because her and Robin Goodfellow were sexually involved." Jareth glared at his father.
"Half the court is engaging in sexual exploits out of wedlock and courtship, father" Oberon glared just as coldly.
" That is beyond the point. This is my servant boy and my daughter. I did it for her own good."
"Her own good!" Jareth was close to yelling, "You mean to tell me the reason that Darcy refused to come out of her room for two weeks, and didn't go to a ball in a year and a half was because it was for her own good?" Jareth spat the words out.
"Honestly I had no idea..."
"Yes I know you didn't. I know because you didn't think how ripping Darcy away from someone she cares about would affect her."
"How do know she-"
"Father of course she cares for him. Darcy may love attention but she's also incredible guarded, why do think she's so cold most of the time. She let Puck into her life and that says something about his own feelings for her." Jareth sank onto his throne.
"Do we know where Puck is?"
"He's at the palace I think, although he has been leaving a lot."
"Then he's looking or has already found her, that's good." Jareth watched his father pacing, suddenly realising why Darcy found it was so annoying.
"But how will we know where she is." Jareth gave him a look.
"Father, if Puck is with her then she won't want to be found and you know when she puts her mind to something it happens. Honestly I think that it would be best to leave her be until she finished her college course." Jareth stood and crossed to the door.
"Now if you will excuse me I am going aboveground. Give my regards to mother ." And with that Jareth stalked out of the throne room, leaving his father to sink into Jareth's throne, head in hands.
"What have I done?"
Word Count: 718: Um… I thought I had more, I feel so underachieving… Ah well hopefully the new romance will make up for it! Let me know what you think.
Hey! Hey see that button! Press it!
