Chapter 7

“Ahh, Lielle, welcome to my kingdom.” Micheal smiled as Genieve’s daughter walked in.
(AN: It’s pronounced Lie-i-lee)

“So glad to be here. My mom says you can make me a queen.”

“Yes, yes, I believe I can.”

“But, how? I thought he was infatuated with that whore mortal of his...”

“Exactly. Are you willing to change for this?”

“Change how?”

Micheal grinned a wicked grin. “Are you willing to change your life, your world, your...
appearance?”

Lielle grinned as wickedly as Micheal. “Change me as you wish.”

He nodded and beckoned her to him.

“Follow me, my little Sarah.”

Lielle gladly obliged. *He will be mine before long*

Micheal lead her down a long hallway and into a dark chamber.

“When I close the door, breath deep my dear, and think human.”

Lielle nodded and waited for the door to seal. Instantly the room filled with a smoke and
she did as she was told. She breathed in deep, desecrating her lungs with the poisonous
fumes. Red hot pain shot through her veins as her body contorted and changed before her
eyes. Long brown hair cascaded down her back, and her chest grew to full voluptuous
breasts. Her legs grew longer and she began to cough and sputter from the fumes. The
door swung open and she gladly released the poison from her lungs.

As the cool air refilled her, she smiled into a mirror.

“You look wonderful. Now for the plan.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Toby smiled as Crystal showed him some pictures.

“And this one is of you two when you were only a little one.”

“Crystal... will Sarah be ok? Jareth’s not that mean is he?”

Crystal looked at Toby with adoration in her eyes. *I have never met such a strong mortal
family. What power they possess* “Yes, Sarah will be fine. And no, Jareth is not that
mean.”

“Will he hurt her?”

“No, I dont believe so.”

Toby paused for a second. “How do you know Jareth?”

Crystal took a deep breath. “I met him quite a while ago. Way before you were even
thought of, Toby. He came here with his father, who was in search of a queen.”

“Why didn’t he marry one of you?”

“One of me?”

“Come on Crystal, I know your one of those fairy things...”

“A fae?”

“Yeah. Just like Jareth, right?”

“And what makes you think I am a fae?”

“Your eyes. And your so nice, but can have a bad temper.” Toby said, laughter lighting up
his eyes.

“Uh huh. I see. Yes Jareth is a fae,”

“Just like you.”

“Yes, Toby. Just like Me.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Mother, she has been so distant for so long. Do you think I was too forward with her?
Showing her those things?”

“My son, she will accept them in time. She’s a little lost. Distant, thats all. She’s scared of
her feelings for you and she is in a new world. Give her her space and she’ll come
around.”

Jareth thought it over for a while. “I love her mother.”

“I know you do, son.”

“It matters not what anyone says, she’s the strongest mortal I have known, besides you of
course.”

Jareth’s mother laughed. “A spit fire is she? I must meet this young lady.”

“Yes, all in good time. When she’s ready and comfortable.”

“Until then, my son.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sarah sat in the garden, thinking over everything.

*So much pain. Am I really that selfish? No, it’s not my fault. Is it? Would none of this
have happened if I would have said yes?*

She pulled thoughtlessly at the grass around her.

*I really do love him, I guess. He’s not that bad, right? Hell no. Him in those pants... who
can resist that?*

Sarah smiled at herself.

*Sure he’s hot, and sure he’s probably an expert in bed, hell he probably wrote the damn
book. But, do I love him?*

She sighed and laid back into the soft grass and gazed at the canopy of flowers that
hanged over her.

*He makes me feel so... so comfortable. I do... I love him.*

Sarah smiled to herself and lifted herself on her elbows.

*I’m going to go tell him right now.*

She shifted her weight and prepared her legs to be stood on when out of the corner came a
soft whimper.

“please... help me...”

“Hello? Is someone there?” Sarah walked cautiously towards the sound.

“Please.... My dog....”

“Your dog?”

“Ambrocious no!”

Sarah screamed as a white blur launched itself at her.

“Damn dog, Didymus, I's told you keep the dog quiet!”

“Hoggle?” Sarah called in to he corner?

“Yeah, yeah, dont gets mushy with me.” The little goblin hobbled out to the clearing and
gave Sarah a hug.

“Oh Hoggle! I’ve missed you SO much!”

“My lady.” Didymus said with a bow.

“Sir Didymus!” she lunged towards him and squeezed him affectionately.

“Sarah, friend.”

“Ludo!” Sarah yelled as the beast picked up the tiny girl.

“What are you guys doing here?”

“Wes wanted to sees you.” Hoggle said with a blush tingeing his cheeks.

“We have awaited your arrival for many years, my lady.”

“Sarah gone, long time.”

Sarah smiled. Her friends from so long ago, that no one believed her about, were here
with her. All the cares in the world disappeared as the four talked for hours, about
anything and everything. Hoggle mentioned about the war that took place in which
Micheal’s kingdom had defeated the southern lands, with Jareth’s aide.

“Is dont know why he puts up with that scum.” he added shortly.

“Its his brother. Blood runs thick, especially in fae people.” Sarah stated blankly. “But,
why do they hate each other so much?”

“Micheal committed the ultimate sin.”

“Whats that?” Sarah asked, thinking she already knew the answer.

“He killed their father.” Didymus answered.

Sarah stared in disgust as it sank in.

“How?”

“Iron bad.” Ludo answered.

“Iron poisoning?” Sarah gasped.

“It was horrible. Jareth let Micheal live out of pity for him.” Didymus replied.

“Such a pity.” Hoggle mocked.

“I would have killed the bastard if it was me. He doesn’t deserve to live at all. Why in the
world would he do such a thing?”

“Sarah, thinks about it. Power is a big thing to the Seelie Court. Micheal thought that if
hes killed his father, then the power would be passed down to him. And since no ones but
Jareth knew the truth, it almost happened that way.” Hoggle explained.

“Who stepped in?”

“Jareth’s mom. She is also a mortal, like you, my lady. She told the court that Jareth was
the rightful heir and she requested that be he bestowed with the power. And the rest is
history.”

They talked into the night and when Sarah yawned, Hoggle decided it would be a good
idea for all of them to retire for the night. Good-byes were said, promises made for more
rendezvous and after the three friends disappeared, Sarah made her way back to the castle.

She walked down the courtyard and thats when it happened.

Quick as lightening, an arm snaked around Sarah’s neck and a cloth covered her mouth.
She breathed in to scream and passed out. As she drifted off, she could have swore her
evil twin was waving goodbye to her.

“Sleep, you little slut.” Her own voice filled her ears. And then it all went black.

“Go Lielle. Make him love you.”

“Yes, m’lord.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Jareth, are you in here?”

Jareth lifted his head and saw Sarah walking into his throne room.

“Sarah, I haven’t heard from you since this morning. Are you ok? I didnt scare you off did
I? I just thought you had the right to know.”

“I’m fine.” She smiled a genuine smile for him. “And I am glad you showed me those thing
Jareth. You really opened up to me, It means a lot. I met Hoggle and the others in the
garden. It was so nice to see them again. That’s where I was.”

“Ah, yes. So you are happy here then?”

“I couldn’t dream of being anywhere else.” She paused and smiled seductively. “Jareth, I
love you.”

Jareth smiled as she walked towards him, swaying her hips and licking her lips. As she
reached him, he wrapped his arms around her and transported them to his bedroom.

“I love you too, Sarah.”

*Yes, Sarah...*

Jareth smiled as he looked on his smiling soon to be queen.

“Make love to me Jareth...” She pleaded as he gazed at her.

Jareth, a little taken a back at the forwardness, but none the less a man who granted
wishes, bent in and whispered. “Anything for you.”

Lielle smiled as he lead her to the bed and moaned a little as he laid her down with such
gentleness. *This is going to be fun. Just me and my soon to be King.*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oh no! Trouble in paradise??
And the plot thickens....
