Tortured For Love

Chapter 15

 

Sarah put her daughter down for  a nap after she was done feeding, Sarah then sat back on the bed adjusting her nightgown, she looked down and saw Jareth sleeping, she smiled and bent down and kissed his forehead, she then laid next to him, putting her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

 

Corinne was in her room packing up her belongings to go back to her castle, Harold walked in not looking at all happy, and Gwen was walking behind him.

Corinne looked up at him “is something the matter?”

Harold strolled up to her quickly “of course something is wrong; you parents interfered again as always”

Corinne sighed “what did they do now?”

“They are siding with your son, over me” Harold told her

“Jareth is your son too, and why shouldn’t my parents stick up for him, he is their grandson” she told him

“But they never sided with Reiko” he told her

“Reiko was evil” she said

Harold drew his hand back and smacked her across the face hard for the first time since they’ve been married, Gwen gasped in fear.

Corinne looked at him afraid, Harold then grabbed her around the throat “Reiko was my favorite, I loved him over all my children, and your son killed him for no good reason”

Corinne tried to say something but she couldn’t get it out with him choking her, he let go and whispered cruelly to her “what is it dear”

“I said Reiko tried to murder Jareth and Sarah” she told him

Harold laughed wickedly, that made both Corinne and Gwen had cold chills running down their spines, they both shivered.

“Sarah is just some slut, that Jareth is going to get  tired of, like he always has, and he is going to wish that I did kill her” Harold said

Corinne was getting mad “don’t you ever touch my son or Sarah again”

Harold smiled devilish at her and replied “I can’t do anything to them, your parents made sure of it, anything bad happens to them and I get hung for it”

Corinne smiled in relief of that, Harold glared at her.

 

Jareth woke up a bit disoriented he forgot where he was, he looked down and saw Sarah sleeping on her side her head lying on his shoulder, and he noticed she looked so beautiful and so serene. He smiled lovingly at her, he watched her roll over and moaned as she did, he laughed at her but covered his mouth so he didn’t disturb her. Jareth heard a knock at the door; he rolled his head over to face the door, he saw his mother peaking her head in.

“Is this a bad time son?”

Jareth sat up “no mom come on in”

His mother walked in, she walked to the bed, and saw Sarah with her back facing them, and she frowned sadly “are you two okay?”

Jareth looked at Sarah then back at his mother “yes we are fine”

She smiled happily at him “good son, I’m glad”

Jareth returned her smile “is there something you wanted?”

“I just wanted to let you know, your father and I are going back to our castle”

He nodded his head ad replied “when will I see you again?”

“As soon as you let me know when your wedding is” she said

“We haven’t decided yet ourselves, since the baby came we haven’t had time to discuss it” he tells her

His mother smiles at him “my granddaughter is just beautiful”

Jareth nods his head in agreement, and then they both heard Sarah mumble in her sleep, they couldn’t make it out. They laughed at her.

Then there was a soft knock on the door, Jareth looked at his mother, she shrugged her shoulders. “Enter” he called out

The door opened and Gwen walked in “your majesty I need to speak with you”

Corinne looked at her “Jareth or I”

“I’m sorry my queen I was not clear, I wish to speak to you alone” Gwen said nervous

“Anything you can say to me, you can say in front of my son” Corinne told her

Gwen swallowed nervously and staring at the floor she replied “I’m pregnant sire, the healer just confirmed it”

“And who is the father?” Corinne asked her calmly

Gwen took a while to answer, Corinne walked up to her “who is the father my dear?”

“The king wanted me to say Jareth, to hurt him” Gwen said panicking then continued as she collapsed on the floor in front of them with tears coming down her cheeks “I can’t lie sire, it’s your husbands”

Corinne looked upset, Jareth was shocked “I see”

Jareth couldn’t believe how calm his mother was being, but it probably wasn’t the first time his mother heard this from some woman.

Corinne looked at Gwen “what do you want me to do about it?”

“I was hoping you could hide me, I don’t know what Harold would do if he found out” Gwen pleaded

“I am guessing it won’t be good” Corinne said

“What do you think we should do with her mother?” Jareth asked curious

“I am going to hide her and mask her so Harold can’t find her” Corinne tells him

She then closed her eyes, chanting softly, no one could hear what she was saying, she waved her hand in front of Gwen and she disappeared.

“Where did you send her?” Jareth asked

“A place your father will never go to find her” she said

“And where is that?” he questioned

“In the dungeon” she told him

Harold barged into Jareth’s room “have you seen Gwen, she said she wanted to tell Jareth something”

Both Corinne and Jareth shook their head no and said “haven’t seen her”

Harold facial expression went from disappointed to angry.

“I’m sure she will show up, she always does” Corinne said trying to reassure him.

“Your right” Harold said

Corinne walked up to Jareth and hugged him and kissed his cheek and whispered to him “I love you my son”

Jareth hugged her back tightly “you too mother”

Harold pulled Corinne away from Jareth “and that is why, he is the way he is, you turned him weak by loving him”

Corinne gave Jareth a sad smile, he smiled back at his mother, while he watched his father pull his mother roughly out of the room.

“Are you talking someone?” a voice said from behind him

Jareth turned around smiling at her “my parents were here”

“Oh” she said as she stretched and yawned

Jareth walked towards the bed and sat down next to her “so when are you going to marry me?”

She smiled widely at him “whenever you want?”

He laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her towards him “what if I said right now”

She giggled at him “that’s not what I meant”

“I heard you say whenever I want, and I want now” he tells her with laughter in his voice

“I meant when we have everything planned invitations sent, and then we can get married, just pick a day” she said

Jareth pouted at her “I did pick a day”

She laughed at him “okay fine, we can get married today. But how are you going to invite everyone on short notice?”

“Magic my dear” he said

“Of course I should have guessed” she said

Jareth made a crystal ball appear on the palm of his hand, he then ran his hand over it and blew it and it turned into millions of crystals floating right out of their bedroom window.

She watched them in amazement and looked at him with her mouth opened in surprise. “See all done”

She pushed him playfully away “now I should get dressed”

He pouted at her again, sticking out his bottom lip, she kissed his lips “now go” he made his eyes drop sadly “the faster you go, the faster I get dressed. And we get married”

His face lit up he kissed her quick on the lips, he smacked her ass and disappeared, she shook heard laughing. She started to go through her closet; she pulled out a beautiful white ball gown that she thought would be perfect for a wedding dress.

She brought the gown over to the bed, and started to get dressed, when the gown was on she heard a noise by the window, she smiled thinking it was Jareth she turned her head to look she saw nothing, she then felt someone come up behind her, grab her and cover her mouth.

“Jareth” she mumbled against the gloved hand

“Guess again dear” the voice whispered hissing in her ear, he grabbed her roughly and they disappeared.
