Chapter Ten

The next day…

Jareth and Sarah sat there for awhile relaxing and talking to catch up with each other. Sarah was asking him lots of questions about the goblin kingdom. Which he was happy to answer because he was so glad, that she was so interested in his kingdom.

Just then Sarah looked into Jareth's eyes and asked "So I now know that you don't really turn the wished aways into goblins,"" as she smiled at him "What do you really do with them then ?." she knew what keela had told her happened to them but she wanted to hear from Jareth's own lips..

"Oh my precious Sarah. I do the same thing the above grounders do." He answered, but at seeing the confused look on Sarah's face he added " I put them up for a adoption to good faeies or elves that can't have children of their own. And I make sure they take good care of them"

"I knew you wasn't such a cruel person, as you tried to make me believe" she said as she looked him over, realizing he looked really uncomfortable and asked him "have you been there all night my love" Jareth smiled and nodded. "Oh Jareth! you didn't have to stay with me all night. I would have been alright. I just needed some rest that's all. As I used to much energy in that spell" but at seeing him shake his head, she sighed knowing there was no point in arguing with him. So instead Sarah slid over the other side of her queen sized bed lifting up the covers. Then she tapped the side besides her, she had just made for him and said " come on lay down and get some sleep"

Jareth was surprised, that she trusted him enough to share her bed with him. He looked up at her and he asked "Are you sure Sarah ?"

"Yes Jareth we're just sharing the same bed that's all" she said patting the space again " come on, I know I can trust you"

Jareth smiled took off his boots and socks before he slipped into the bed with her. He still wasn't comfortable, as he didn't normally sleep with his shirt on. So he took it off and hoped Sarah wouldn't mind, but all she did was look over at his now bare chest and smiled at him. Jareth magically changing his bleacher into a more comfortable pair of pants to sleep in. Then he laid down resting his head one of the pillows and closed his eyes…

Sarah at seeing Jareth settle down. She decided that if she was going to one day hopefully become his queen and wife. She might as well get use to sharing a bed with him and so she decided to make herself comfortable and just hoped he wouldn't mind…

Jareth who opened his eyes, remembering that all the pillows was now under his head. He was just going to move so he could pass her one, when he felt Sarah shift closer to him before laying her head upon his chest…

As Sarah settled down resting her head upon his chest, draped her arm across his stomach making herself comfortable. She smiled as she felt him wrap his arm around her and place a kid upon head. "Goodnight night, My goblin King" she said even though she knew it was morning..

He smiled and replied "Goodnight, my goblin Queen, sleep well" he closed his eyes again as he thought to himself 'one day my love you really will be my goblin queen'..

A few hours later. It was Lunch time and Keela was starting to get worried, about them since they hadn't come down for breakfast. So she went to Sarah's room and let herself in quietly. She knew that Jareth would of made sure the protection spell on Sarah's room. That would allow her in, knowing she wasn't a threat. So she walked over towards the bed and saw Sarah sleeping in the arms of her brother coursing her to smile…

Jareth who had woken up when he had felt another presence enter the room. Jareth looked up to seeing it was only his sister vanished the crystal orb, he had created ready to defend his beloved Sarah from anyone that might wish her harm..

"Easy brother it's only me" Keela said in whisper as she noticed Sarah was still asleep " it's lunch time and since you both missed breakfast I was worried"

"Um" Jareth said as lookied out of window. He saw it was indeed around midday and so he looked at the clock that also conferred it was lunch time " Sarah my love" he said gently nudging her " it's Lunch time, we have to wake up now"

Sarah opened her eyes and looked up at him smiling. Then she heard movement near the bed and turned to see Keela standing there, making her feel kind of embarrassed. She worried about what his sister most be thinking. Sarah turned her face burying it into Jareth chest, as she couldn't bring herself to look up at Keela.

"Sis, we'll be down shortly to join you for lunch." said Jareth as he smiled down at his shy Sarah. Then he looked back to his sister "we'll have it in the main dinning room. The goblins know not to go in there, which means once the lunched is severed you should be able to set up a protection spell. That way we can all eat together in peace, without having to worry about anyone knowing who our Owlett really is." So Keela left the room, telling her brother she would prepare the room as he had requested. Jareth turned to Sarah and said" you'll be able to eat lunch with all your friends, without having worry about hiding who you are. My love"

Sarah smiled happily at the thought of seeing all her friend again. Then she muttered "Shit" almost to low for Jareth to hear, she had just remembered the bandits had taken all their luggage "now what I going to do" she thought to herself out loud

"What's wrong my love ?" he asked. Wondering what had suddenly coursed the change in her mood..

"Those bandits took all our luggage, off our carriage and we didn't have time to get it back. Before we fled" she said as she got out off bed looking over herself "now I have nothing to wear"

Jareth just laughed "Is that all you're worried about, my love" he said as he got out of bed also. But at receiving a pointed look from Sarah which seamed to mean 'well-yeah-I-can't-go-around-in-this-or-worse-naked-all-day-can-I' Jareth just shook his head. He moved across the room, to the 1st of two doors as he said" not that I would mind you being naked" which made Sarah give him another pointed look. Which was angrier this time. As he looked over his shoulder at her, "but" he said as he opened it "don't you think, that I would of made sure you had lots to wear and everything you would need ?" and then he stepped aside waving for Sarah to take a look..

((Author's note the other door leads to the bathroom))

Sarah moved past Jareth and into the large room. As if by magic, she was no longer mad the huge room turned out be a huge closet. Which was packed with casual and fancy clothes of all kinds. which made her gasped and say "WOW" as she ran her hand gently over the gowns which were for both fancy and everyday wear. Then she turned around and saw along the other wall was selves containing poet shirts of every colour and design, looking down on the lower selves she saw bleaches and pants. "Jareth" she said in awe as she turned again noticing shoes to go with every dress , boots both casual and riding style were all placed along the back wall with capes , coats and jackets hanging from rails and hooks..

((Author's note I'm from the UK and we spell Colour like that where as the US and FF seam to prefer the spelling Color so it says I am wrong. Oh well!. It is the way we spell it over here, so I will keep spelling it Colour and ff people from the US will just have to ignore it sorry))

Smiling Jareth moved to the gownsand pulled out a beautiful yet casual emerald green gown. He also picked up a matching pair of shoes. Before he moved over to Sarah and held them out to her. " Here my love. You will look wonderful in these, they'll bring out your amazing eyes". Sarah reached over and took them from him. Then moving behind her placing his hands on her shoulders he guided her to the center of the room. Where there was two huge chest of draws and a full length mirror, that stood between them..

"your undergarments and in those" he said as he pointed to the chests of draws. He then her lead to the other side where there was a gorgeous dressing table with a beautiful mirror, as well as two other sets of draws, then he added "all the makeup , jewelery and accessories. That you'll need are in those" there was an enjoining door in between the rows of gowns. Jareth turned her to face it before saying "and in there is a bathroom with a shower and bath as well everything you'll need"…

Sarah placed the gown and shoes down on the dresser. Then she turned to Jareth and reached up to his face with her hand. She smiled, stoking his cheek with her thumb, before tiptoeing up and kissing him. which then coursed him to wrap his arms around her deepening their kiss. When they pulled apart Sarah whispered " thank you so much, my love. This is wonderful I have never seen so many clothes in my life apart from in stores" as she looked around her again still in his arm and added " are you sure all just is for me"

He smiled down at her placing a kiss upon her head before whispering "Of course it is, my love." Jareth stepped away from her and added "Now get yourself ready they're waiting for us, I'll go get myself ready as well. When you are done call me and then I'll teleport us to the dining room" before he left to go to his own room to get ready…

While Jareth was in his room getting ready, Sarah was also getting ready where he had left her. She quickly took a shower magically dries her hair afterwards (what she's in a rush and I have to use magic for some things) before putting on her gown and did her make up nice but simple. When she was done she went into the hall and called for Jareth…

Jareth heard her call and appeared before her and then said "you look beautiful my love, are you ready ? " and at her nod, he teleported them both to the dinning room. Where all her friends was waiting…

"Hoggle" she said moving away from Jareth then kneeled down and hugged Hoggle. Who hugged her back, then since she was already on her knees she turned and said "Sir Didymus" who came over to her and she hugged him then petted Ambrosias before she stood up and moved over to Ludo..

Ludo being such a kid at heart, grabbed her and pulled her into a bear hug lifting her right off the ground. " Ludo missed Sawah" he said to her before Sarah who was still in his bear hug, heard Hoggle and Sir Didymus say they missed her as well and then Ambrosias barked as if in a agreement with them..

Sarah hugged Ludo back and said " I missed you too Ludo" as he set her back down releasing her. She smiled before adding "I missed you all very much" looking around at all of them, including Jareth and said "I am Sorry that I have been gone for so long and had you all so worried about me" lowing her gaze to the fall

Hoggle was about to say something. But he was cut off by Sarah's and Jareth stomach growling. Which reminded them, it was lunch time and their food was getting cold so they all sat down to eat …

Jareth who had been trying to find out the whole story of why his sister. But only had pieces of information, he had been told or the rumour. That he heard about the Owlett, but still there seamed to be lots missing and so he decided to start by asking his sister. While they all sat around at the table. As he knew that all of Sarah's friend was also wondering why she had been gone for so long. " Keela" he said as he look over to where she sat opposite him "please explain why you thought it necessary to kidnap" but Sarah who was sitting next to him, elbowed him which made him turn and look at her then at seeing a very pointed look that seamed to say 'don't-put-it-like-that'. Made him changed the wording of his question as he turned back to his sister and said " I mean, Why did you take Sarah away from her home and hide her away from us all for so long ?"

Keela who had been smiling at seeing Sarah elbow her brother said " Because my dear brother. Sarah is the Key" making Jareth , Hoggle and Sir Didymus look confused wondering what she meant and the key to what..

Ludo is so innocent and child like spoke and said "Sawah is no key" as he had mistook, it to mean a literal key you used to open doors and things ..

Coursing Keela, Curos and Toggle to laugh but they stopped at the look Sarah had shot them for laughing at poor at Ludo ((Sarah is very good with given pointed looks. When she annoyed or mad at someone)), it was Keela who spoke " I' m sorry" she said before paused and added " no Ludo not that kind of key" but at seeing the confused looks from Jareth and as well as all of Sarah's old friends she clarified

"she is the key. Because she is going to be the person that will not only safe you my dear brother. But all of the kingdoms" Jareth tilted his head, as he wondered why they would need saving at all. So Keela continued " you know as well as I do that our brother Ciaran as his eye on the Underground thorn. But as long as you stand in his way, he will not be able to obtain it as our father as chosen you as heir apparent . yes?" at seeing him nod she continues "there is a prophecy that states the champion of the labyrinth AKA Sarah will prevent this from happening. She will not only stop our brother from forcing you off the goblin thorn some how or by killing you" she paused looking at a worried Sarah "but will also save the underground from a great war that is said to becoming. Though it does not say when"

((Author's notes the great war will not happen in this story.))

((Sorry but that is for a sequel , which if enough people like this story, I'll write one day but for now. Please keep reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of this story))

Sarah looked over at keela and said "Keela, how can I save everything?." as she was still worried " You never explain it all to me at all. You just said that Jareth and I are in grave danger. And that I would need training as well as protecting. Until I was strong enough to help him and protect myself" she said fearfully, as she did not know what laid ahead and was worried she would fail…

"The prophecy isn't pacific, but from what I have pieced together" answered Keela "1st off you most help secure Jareth his right to one day become high king"

"How am I meant to do that ? " Sarah said interrupting Keela, but it was Jareth who answered "My place as heir apparent, will only be secured once I have found a bride" he said then looked at Sarah "which I hope you will one day soon agree to be"

"If I agree and I mean if" She said though she knew in her heart, that if he actually purposed she would agree no matter what " how would that, secure the high thorn for you Jareth." she asked as she look at him wait for an answer..

Which he was about to give. But before he could Keela cut him off " Our father believes that without a good wife and queen at his side running the whole underground kingdom would be to much for Jareth or anyone to handle alone"

"Ok, I think I am starting to understand now." Sarah Said "But how would your father know, I would make a good wife and queen for Jareth ? " she then paused as she remembered something that Keela had told her " you mentioned something about training me to past some kind of test ?"

"Lets assume you have agreed to be Jareth ok" Keela asked to which Sarah nodded "Okay, my brother would have to make it official. Which he would have to do at the Goblin Ball, as many member of the high court would be there"...

Then Sarah still confused asked "what do you mean by making it official ? "

"Simple my love" answered Jareth " I would announce to everyone, present at the goblin ball. That you are the Lady I wish to be my future wife and queen"

Then Keela added "once everyone at the ball knows you have been chosen to be his wife and queen word would reach our parents and then before you would be allowed to wed. They would have you to take the tests and prove yourself worthy of becoming high queen one day"

"But I am just a mortal human girl from aboveground" Sarah said. As she wasn't sure she be worthy of one day being the queen of the whole underground. " There is no way they'll find me worthy of one day being the queen, of the whole underground even with Jareth by my side. Besides my life span is way shorter than yours are"

"Sarah not only have you done. What as never been done before and won the labyrinth, which already gives you an advantage" answer keela " but you are no long just human"

"What you mean I am not just human anymore" asked Sarah

"Yeah what you mean Sarah not human" Said Hoggle

"Sarah, humans can not handle a lot of magic in there bodies"keela answered "the longer you spend in the underground. The more magic you gained and so the underground's own magic as been changing your body with the help of the fae food you have been eating starting with the peach Jareth had given you. Since you first came to the labyrinth" Jareth had confided in his sister long ago with the truth of what happened in the Labyrinth back then….

"You made me give her fae food you rat" grumbled Hoggle

"Yes Hogbrain i did. That peach was fae food and I did know what I was doing to her, but I was determined she wouldn't be leaving my kingdom. So I didn't see anything wrong with starting her transformation" answered Jareth

"You big selfish Rat" Said Hoggle and was about to say more but Sarah cut him off

"Hoggle" she said sternly " that does not matter now it was in the past" then she turned to Keela " please finish telling me what it is that I have been changing into ?"

"Well Sarah you are now more fae than human" she answered smiling " which means you no long a moral girl, but an almost immortal Fae"

"But how will Milady Sarah be able to pass such test" Said Sir Didymus

"Because I have been training her, in all she needs to know since the day, I brought her to my kingdom. She is more than capable of pass those tests" Keela answered " for her will is strong enough and her power is great. She will succeed" those lines made both Sarah and Jareth cringe at the memory..

"Don't worry my love. I know you will do fine" reaching over and squeezing her hand " But a lass, I most go back to work. As I have much to catch up on, you can stay here for awhile and catch up with your friends" then he stood as did Sarah move in front of him and tiptoed up pressing her lip gently against his hoping for a brief good bye kiss but Jareth had other ideas and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss which she eagerly returned..

"Yuk" said Hoggle and Toggle

Ludo said "Ewww" and Custos and Keela just coughed..

Coursing both Sarah and Jareth to pull apart and look at them " anyway" said Jareth " if you need me I will be in the thorn room" then he turned back to Sarah make sure wear you disguises before you leave the safe zones. my precious one and I will see you soon" then he took is leave and teleported away…

Awhile later Toggle , Custos and Keela took there leave also leaving Sarah, Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus and his dog to catch up. But a few hour later Sarah decided she wanted to go explore the labyrinth or at least the castle. So she disguised herself and left…

Jareth had been busily organizing things and Listen to completes as well as other kingly duties for hours. when Owlett ((who really is Sarah in disguise)) entered his thorn room " Your Mastery, I hope I am not disturbing you" as she curtsied as well as slightly bowed her head in greeting acting very bit of a the Lady she was meant to be..

Part of Jareth wanted to grab her an pull her into kiss, telling her there is no way she would not be a welcome interruption, but he knew he could not so instead he said "No Lady Owlett you are not disturbing me" he signalled for her to move closer "Welcome my kingdom. Is there anything I can do for you"

"Thank you for the Welcome my lord" replied the Owlett as she stood up from her curtsy and moved closer to him " no sire I was wondering, if I could be of any help to you, Princess Keela told me you was organising the Goblin ball and thought I would offer my assistance" she paused and added "where I come from. I have helped to organize a lot of grand parties though nothing as grand a scale as the Goblin ball, my lord. But maybe I could still be of some help to you"

"Ah Yes I do have a lot of work to do, as well as organizing the goblin ball. So any assistance you could provide would be most helpful Lady Owlett" he answered " if you would accompany me to my study, we could get started"

And so Lady Owlett followed Jareth to his study. Once they were inside, he closed the door locking it. Then he set up a protection spell. so they could work without worrying, about having to hide who the Owlett really was " My Sister taught you well Sarah, it seams you have learnt in 3 years. What takes at least 10 for most to learn and they start from childhood"

"I am glad you approve Jareth," Said Sarah before asking " now how can I be of assistance to you" Jareth instructed her to sit down on a chair in front of his desk. Before he settled a scroll before her with all the information, he had so far on the goblin ball. He then moved to the other side of his desk and sat down in his own chair. Then they spent the next few hours discussing the ball.

Once they had the plan for the ball settled. Jareth told her he had invitations to write, which Sarah offered to do for him. As she knew he had lots of other stuff he needed to do. So Jareth placed a long list of names down before her as that also had all the information, she would need to put on them." There is a lot here my love," he said "I could get you someone help. If you wish" Sarah shook her head. She knew that if Jareth got any help for her, they have to go back to pretending she was just the Lady Owlett and not herself "Are you sure my love" he asked looking over at her…

Sarah did not answer him. Instead she took one of blank invite cards from the pile, then picked up a quill pen adding ink to it. She whispered a spell to low for Jareth to hear the words. Then she wrote down the 1st invitation leaving the name and the signature blank then let go of the quill pen. It was then Jareth realized what spell, she had cast for the quill pen took on a mind of it own. He watched as another blank card came down before and it writing down, what Sarah had written on the other card. When it was done another blank card moved as the card it had just finished, flew to a place in front of Sarah who picked up another quill pen and wrote the name of who it was for on it leaving the signature blank. As she knew Jareth would have to sign it. She glazed up seeing the confused and surprised look Jareth's face, so she said as she continued her work " your sister allowed me to help her with the day to day stuff of running her kingdom in between my lessons she taught me that spell to speed up my work" as she smiled then added "she told me that , if you did decided on choosing me as your bride and queen. I would need all the help I can get. And that helping her in her day to day stuff, would give me an idea of what I would be excepted to do"

"So that's how she always finishes these things so quick when she helps me" Jareth said smirking to himself, he had always wondered but his sister wouldn't tell him..

And so for the next few hours they worked until dinner where they went to join the others in the main dinning room, Jareth had teleported them there so Sarah wouldn't have to hide herself…

Dmew: Well that was a long character I hope it turned out alright, I'm sorry if it was kind of boring but the next is going to be about the evil King (so called) Ciaran..

Please review and thank you for taking the time to read my story…
