Chapter Eleven

Ciaran learns of the Owlett's escape

King Ciaran was catching up on royal business, when there was a knock on his study door. He wasn't happy about being disturbed so he allowed " who dares distrube me, it had better be important"...

Meekly his General Bluesnot came into the room carrying a report, he had just got back from his men. "My lord, some of our trolls that had been running with highway bandits. Just informed me that they think they may of just spotted the Owlett."

"Where" shouted the king.

"Half a days ride from the elf kingdom Sire. They said that the bandits had tired to rob them, but one of them ladies shot fireballs at them." he started to shake, as he was worried what the king would do, when he heard the next part "they escaped my lord, the troll said they opened a portal which close behind them as it went"

Ciaran was really pissed off "they had her in there gasp and they let he get away" He ballewed as he magical threw is captain into the wall. "Wait the elf kingdom you say." he asked as he rubbed his chin 'that's Princess Keela's kingdom' he thought to himself " how long ago did this happen"

General Bluesnot checked his notes, before he answered " about 3 days sire, um" he remembered something else that was strange around the that time " one of our spies, didn't report in2 flipping through the note some more he added "ah yes the one from princess Keela's elf kingdom"

"So that conferns it then" he said tapping his chin " she's Jareth's Sister. I bet she ran to him for help, and she probably as the Owlett with her." he started pacing the room " try to see if they are indeed in the goblin kingdom......... ." And so Captain walked away bowing as he went to try to get spies into the goblin kingdom.

After the Captain left, one of the most trusted advisor and oldest friend walked out from the dark corner he had been standing in. " This isn't good my friend, if the Owlett is indeed within the protection of the Goblin kingdom. We are going to have to change our plans as I don't know how we'll be able to kill her now"

"Then we will just have to do it at the ball." he said with a smirk " I just have to make sure Wisemeir and the princess Saonta an invitation to the ball" he smirks and says " and then if she is the girl of legend, we'll find away to kill her"

Back in the underground while Jareth was finishing some more royal business. Princess Keela was giving Seras some more lessens, she was teaching her more does and don't of the royal ball, as well as having Curos run through the dance steps with her.

Days later :

Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus was on there guard especially now, that Sarah was in the castle. "I am worried Sir Hoggle" said Sir Didymus " By now our lady's valiant escape as most of been report to King Ciaran" while they was in one of the spell protected rooms watching over Sarah as she trained.

"Yah Ludo worried" Ludo mumbled.

"Easy Ludo we don't want 'orry the little lady, now do wi" said Hoggle before turning to Sir Didymus "yah me's thinks you's right theres. But Lookies she's got magic nows and she good" the other nodded and continued to watch her train.

Every day the Sarah, her three friends, Keela, Toggle,Curtos and of coarse Jareth shared meals together. After every one else had gone to bed Sarah and Jareth would share a few hours together in Jareth's private study. Sarah seemed off this night and Jareth was worried about her "what is wrong my precious one"...

Sarah was in her own world a thousand thoughts running through her "um" she said startled by Jareth's concerned voice " oh it nothing" Jareth shared at her in a way that said i-know-there-something-wrong so Sarah sighed "Okay I'll tell you, just stop looking at me like that" his look soften as waited for her to speak. "I'm worried my Love, that something is going to interfere"

"Don't worry Sarah. Your safe here" he looked at her face and sighed, "but that's not all is it" She shook her head knowing she couldn't hide from her beloved "your worried your not good enough" she nodded " oh My love, you are more than ready, I am very proud of you." he pulled her closer to him and stoked her hair " some of the spells I seen you do, during your training very few fae or elves can. And the fact that your animal form is an barn owl, proves we are meant to be together. I am the only other fae that can do that" feeling a bit more relaxed Sarah rested her head on Jareth's shoulder and wrapped arm around his torso.

She sighed and said "I love you so much, Jareth with all my heart and soul."

At this moment Jareth was having a very hard time, not picking her up and taking her to his bed chambers. But he knew he had to wait till at least she had pasted the tests if not the wedding night itself. He sighed and said "I love you too precious, more than words can describe" as he placed a truly loving kiss upon her lips.

Sarah returned the kiss, with the same love that he had put into it. She then yawned and said as they pulled apart "I am sorry my love, but I am worn out from a hard day of lessons and training" she giggled and added "your sister is really drilling everything into me"

Jareth smiled though inside, he was sad the night was coming to a end. "Of corse my Precious, we both should retire for the night" as leaned over and kissed her once again before they bothe transported themselves to their own rooms.
