Ok I uploaded a longer chapter originally but I really didn't feel good about it so I've taken it down to continue working on it.

Thank yous to those who read the original chapter and reviewed but I realized from some of the comments that the chapter didn't fit.

The improved section will be published as Chapter 21.

Thank you.

Sorry that this one took so long. I'm not sure I'm happy with it so there may be a re-write.

Hopefully drawing the story to a close now.

As always please tell me what you think, reviews please.

Enjoy :)

Chapter 20

Titania arrived at Avalon still in two minds about leaving Sarah and Jareth alone together, especially with Sarah's memories being absent, but she felt she may have left her return too late as it was. Contrary to her usual habit, before returning to her own chambers the High Queen sought Oberon out in his own. She found her husband in his private study, there was no sign of her son.

"So how is Jareth dealing with his problem?" He asked without looking up from his paperwork.

"Well enough." She answered from just inside the door way, before continuing, "Sarah seems unable to remember the past six weeks or so."

"How is that possible?" The High King asked finally looking up. "And don't go blaming me, all I did was put her to sleep."

"No, I'm not blaming you. That girl has been running on empty for too long, she was exausted."

"Isn't it better that she doesn't remember? Her and Jareth would have a second chance."

"But what happens when her memory returns?"

"Hopefully she'd be in too deep for it to be a problem." Oberon answered with his usual lack of finesse.

Titania couldn't help but let out a small laugh, "You've never met Sarah properly. She would raise hell no matter what and she now knows how to do a huge amount of damage. Besides Jareth will feel too guilty to stay silence."

"You must remember love that when I met her she'd pinned one of my son's against a wall. She has far too much power to be left roaming around the mortal realm."

"Sarah didn't need the magic until the fae interfered in her life a second time." Titania pointed out to her husband. "Perhaps she has just enough to deal with Jareth."

"Perhaps."

"Speaking of dealing with our sons, what have you decided to do with Eric?"

"I invited him to stay in the Dungeon and told him he wouldn't be released until he could tell me what he did that was wrong." Oberon seemed depressed at imparting this news.

"To which he replied?"

" 'I got caught. ' "

"What a fine pair of sons we managed to raise." The High Queen sank into a chair across from her husband.

"Jareth hasn't turned out too badly in the end."

"In the end? So far both have seen something they want and have simply tried to take it, not earn it and unless you've forgotten they both got mortal women pregnant, against their wishes."

"Jareth, at least, seems to have grown from the experience." Oberon tried valiantly to defend one of his sons.

"He fell in love with a mortal girl and tried to bribe her into returning his affections. I can't fault his choice in women but how could he act the way he did, Sarah having no knowledge of our ways?" Titania paused briefly, calming down before continuing, "You called me "love" earlier. You haven't called me that for an age."

"I was in love with you once, perhaps all this talk of our family is making me nostalgic." He said with true sincerity. "Don't you remember what I did to win you?"

"How could I forget? You convinced me to run away with you. The look on my fathers face when he finally caught us." Titania couldn't help but laugh only to sober up a moment later. "But our love didn't last."

"We didn't make it last."

"And a pure mortal I was not." The smile returned.

"No, you were fun though." His face bore a wicked grin that would have looked more at home on the Goblin King's.

"I still can be fun on occasion." Titania responded with a glint in her eye.
