"You actually fell in love. With a mortal girl no less. " Disdain leaked from her voice.

"Does she love you back, my son? Can a mortal girl even love a Goblin King?"

He was listening on deaf ears - he wasn't going to take this from her. He wasn't going to stand here and let her insult Sarah the girl he had fallen for - the girl who possessed his heart ever since that first meeting.

"Mother, she is my mate. You have to realize what this means to a Fae?" A Fae could die if they were ever to mate with another. It was to be taken seriously mates were no joke in the Underground of the Fae.

Although he couldn't believe it the first time he realized the truth. Sarah hated his guts after what he did to her.

Taking Toby and threatening his life no wonder she hated him. Yet, he was only catering to her wishes to play the role of the villain it was all he could do at the time. He wanted to see her to be in her world it's what he had to do.

"I know what it means my son. As much as I hate the idea of a mortal with a Fae - I won't lose you. Although how will you talk to her about this I imagine she will hate you?"

"It's no matter... She will come to me on her own." Jareth lied - he knew all to well that Sarah would never love him. Ever since their final confrontation with one another - he offered Sarah everything: himself and the Underground - all she had to do was love him...yet, with those six words everything changed.

Jareth saw his mom conjure a vial with purple potion within it. A love potion?

"Sneak this into her morning drink if you think she could never love you? Are you one hundred percent sure she will come to you?"

With that the High Queen vanished leaving the Goblin King to doubt his feelings and consider his mother's option.

Sarah awoke from her dreamless sleep. Blinking sleep out of her eyes - she got up from her bed as she heard a knock on her door. 

She was hesitant at first. Knowing it would be Jareth - remembering how close their bodies were to one another the night before. Blushing...and shaking herself out of that way of thinking. Taking a deep breath and with a determined mind and burning will she opened the door only to see a goblin.

"I'm Silver, my lady. The king requests you."

Her determination faltered. Why couldn't he knock on her door himself? Why send a goblin? Although her thoughts led her to explanations that would steer the Goblin King in the lighter path of her anger. But it wasn't working too well. Sarah followed Silver at the goblin's pace - strolling down each corridor as she was led to a spacious room that was revealed behind French doors.

In the middle of the room was a long table: the table having an assortment of foods, plate settings, and a blonde hair, mismatched eyed King. Jareth stood up from his seat as he gestured Sarah over.

Once they sat down next to each other Sarah was at a standstill until her plate magically appeared full of food.

"Now Sarah tell me did you sleep well?" She reached her hand out toward the goblet and raised it to her lips...

The end for now...

Now an important question:

Do you think Jareth gave her the potion? Or is the drink simply a drink?

What are your thoughts I would love to hear them!
