Chapter 28

(Truths Learned)

Jareth stood on his private balcony overlooking his labyrinth. He had been filled with a strange feeling ever since he woke up. He didn't know it was but surely it wasn't regret; Sarah was his to do with as pleased.

The King groaned. "Perhaps I was a little hard on her but she rejected me!" He said angrily. "No one rejects me! Especially not some slip of a mortal girl!"

He rubbed a hand over his face. An image of Sarah appeared in his mind. The King of Goblins remembered her in her white gown practicing her lines the very day she'd spoken the words that had brought her and her brother to his kingdom. He sighed remembering her innocence.

Jareth let out a growl of approval as he thought about the fact he'd had the pleasure of taking her virginity. He became aroused remembering how he'd enjoyed the dark haired girl's body; the feel of being inside her.

He sneered becoming angry she wasn't there to relieve him. "Enjoy your freedom little girl it will be short lived."

Sarah ran through a field. She felt the most alive she had ever felt. Birds flew above her and she happily ran beneath them. She skipped into the forest. Her long gown whisking behind her. Her pace slowed as she walked out from behind some trees. A white castle lay before her.

"Where am I?" The dark haired girl asked.

"Home Sarah, you're home."

Sarah turned around to see a tall muscular man with dark hair and green eyes like hers. "Who are you?"

"I'm your father King Eliseo." He replied. "This is your home; where you were born."

"No I…"

"You were stolen Sarah." The king said gently. "You and your mother."

"My mother left me." Sarah said and looked down sadly.

"No she didn't. She was stolen from us." The king replied. "Ormond stole her from us."

"Ormond? No, he has Lorelei."

"Yes your mother. Lindalynn stole you from us Sarah. Lorelei and I thought you died at birth." The captured king told her. "If I had known you lived I would've tried to contact you sooner. I'm afraid I only just found out you were alive."

"Lorelei is my mother?" Sarah said.

"Yes."

"Where are you?"

"I am trapped Sarah. Trapped in an underground dungeon; by an evil immortal human."

"Ishaan." Sarah said as the dawn of realization hit her.

"Be careful Sarah. Ishaan wants to take over the underground. I don't know his plan but he seems to think he will have control of Oberon and Ormond."

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"No daughter. Finding me would put you in danger of Ishaan. You must get away from Jareth."

"I'm with Oberon."

"Warn him Sarah. Warn him of Ishaan."

Sarah opened her eyes and sat up with a start. 'Was it a dream? Was it real?' The dark haired girl looked around her room. She was still with Oberon. Glancing outside she found it was dark. Sarah didn't understand what was going on but there was one thing she knew for certain; she needed to speak to Oberon come morning.

Lorelei got out of bed careful not to wake her husband. A dream weighing heavily on her mind. She'd dreamed of Sarah; Sarah and Eliseo. She couldn't help but wonder if it was truly a dream or if it was a vision.

'Could he be alive?' The blonde queen wondered. Lorelei looked back at her sleeping husband. She needed to find out. The UnSeelie High Queen had never given much thought to what Ishaan did but thinking about it she became curious. She had noticed him leave at odd times and return as well in an odd manner.

She looked out the widow and noticed Ishaan come out of the woods. 'Odd to be out and about at 3 in the morning.' She thought to herself. 'Time to keep better tabs on my husband's former teacher.' the woman silently vowed.

Sarah left her room to find Oberon; the time for answers had come. It took her a little time but she finally found him alone on a balcony outside his office window. "Your Majesty?" She called staying within his office.

The High Seelie king turned and looked at the dark haired girl. "Come." he told her gently.

Slowly Sarah entered the private balcony. "There's something I need to ask you."

Oberon sighed but gestured for her to ask her question. "Who's King Eliseo? Is he my father?"

Oberon blinked at the girl for a moment. He'd expected a question about Ormond; perhaps even Lorelei but not Eliseo. "Who told you that?"

"I had a dream last night. There was this man with dark hair and green eyes like me. There was the beautiful white castle." Sarah began. Not looking at him she didn't see his look of awe. "He said Lorelei was my mother and I was stolen by Lindalynn and my mother was stolen by Ormond and that Ishaan had him trapped in an underground dungeon and…"

"Whoa what?" Oberon said becoming suspicious. "He wants you to find him?"

"No he told me to get away from Jareth; I told him I was with you. He seemed really happy about that." The green eyed girl said. "Please if you know what's going on tell me." She begged.

"Yes Lorelei and Eliseo are your real parents." Oberon admitted. "Only Darien and I know though."

"My dream?"

"It means child that somewhere your father is trapped but is very much alive. We need to get Darien. He is the dream Prince and may be able to help you contact your father." The High King said.

"How?" She questioned.

"You're connected by blood. You can call to each other. You're Fae Sarah; your powers are undeveloped but you have power." He replied. "It's time you learn to use it."

"Lorelei is really my mother?" Sarah said and remembered the woman's headache. "Do Fae women feel pain when their children are in pain?"

"If they are connected by blood yes." He confirmed.

"Wait if my father is alive doesn't that make my mother's marriage to Ormond void?" The green eyed girl questioned.

"Yes."

"Does that put her in danger?" Sarah inquired.

"Only if she realizes you're her daughter and Eliseo is alive and they find out." He replied hesitantly. "She doesn't know though; she thinks you're dead."

"How did you know?" Sarah asked.

"How doesn't matter. I know and we are going to work to find your father alright?" The Seelie High King said. Sarah nodded. "Good now go and get something to eat; I will go and see Darien." In a gust of fall leaves he was gone.

"Wonder if I'll learn how to do that." The dark haired girl commented and left the Kings office. For the first time in her life a feeling of complete belonging rushed through her. The Underground was her real home.

Ishaan was not pleased to learn the tunnel hadn't been found upon inquiring on progress to a guard. The red haired man walked quickly through the halls and entering his room he went to his locked cabinet and opened it. He pulled out a scroll containing the spell he'd used long ago.

"Damn it!" He said angrily. "Two days and the spell will begin to falter. Jareth has to mate with Sarah before it's too late!" He rolled the scroll up and quickly hid it back in the cabinet. The red haired man walked to the window and looked out at the Labyrinth. Time was running out for his plan; somehow he had to get Sarah back to the castle for Jareth, or get Jareth to Sarah. How could they get Jareth to Sarah in time?

There was also the problem of no one finding out what he'd done. If anyone figured out what he'd done he'd have Seelie and UnSeelie after him. He'd used black magic on both sides. If he was discovered what had been done to the traitors would seem like an innocent slap on the wrist. He'd be hunted down and tortured; if he was lucky they'd ultimately kill him.
