~JARETH~

The Goblin King continued to tap his Boot-Heet against the cold-concrete.
He was in danger, His wife to-be was in danger, Zane was with-child and was already in-danger.

Jareth, continuously blamed himself.
His usually angry-Demeanour, was now struck with pure and utter panic.

The King searched everywhere in the castle for Sephtis, he had to get revenge for his Queen to-be.
How dare Sephtis promise to make a commitment, a vow, to his Sister! And yet, Apparently, Sephtis continued to chase Sedina around the Castle, attempting to grope her again.

Jareth tried, countless times, to maintain his anger toward the Man, but this... this had cut Jareth's last string.

Jareth vowed to himself, he would get Deep Revenge, but he couldn't risk the lives of his Family, friends, and Kingdom.

~SEDINA~

^Knock Knock Knock^

Three loud thuds were heard from the door.
Fear spun around Sedina's mind, veins and heart.
The girl slowly walked forward, preparing herself for the worst.

She opened the door slightly, Expecting something to jump at her.
Nothing came.

Sighing with relief, Sedina softly closed the door and sat on the edge of her bed.
Pondering.

~ZANE~

Zane, stood, admiring the painting she had finally completed, of Jareth and Sedina, with a frown.
Zane pondered for a moment, and thought of Sephtis, her Child, the war, Sedina's almost-r@pe.

If the Goblins found Seph, after their search, Zane vowed she would get revenge, not just for Sedina, but for herself, parents and kingdom too.

=*•MEMORY•*=

The young Jareth chased Zane around the endless fields of Sunflowers.
The children's giggles were joyous, as they continued to plough through the golden flowers.

Jareth's silver pocket-watch softly chimed, sounding to the young Prince and Princess their time outside was up.

The young Princess groaned.

"They never give us enough time!" She cried, causing the Prince to giggle even harder at her whining.

"They just don't trust us out in the Aboveground for too long, Zane..."
the Prince, Jareth, muttered.

"Just wait, until we are the Queen and King! And we get to boss everyone around! We will have babies of our own to boss around too! And Mummy and Daddy will be their grandparents!
Just wait until Mummy and Daddy make you King of the Goblin Kingdom, and me Queen of the Faeries!" Zane happily cheered, predicting their future.

"Eww! I don't want to have a baby! Not until I'm 1000 years old!" Jareth laughed, setting off Zane into the giggles.

=*•ANOTHER MEMORY•*=

Teenage Jareth, And Teenage Zane, held their ears against the large door, trying to work out what their Parents were discussing.

"Josephine! They are not ready to Rule the Kingdoms on their own. You cannot just separate them!" King Aldon (The Goblin King) shouted back.

"How can he talk to Mum like that?! All she wants is the best for us, Jar."
Zane whisper-shouted in her Brothers ear.
Jareth nodded angrily.
"She's done more for us than he ever has or will."  He whispered back.

"Aldon. We both know Arthur Stygian has sent his army to kill us. Zane and Jareth are strong enough... But, Arthur offered a deal..." Queen Josephine started, you could evidently hear the guilt in her voice.

"If we don't accept Sephtis's marriage request... We will be sentenced to death."

=*•MEMORY ENDING•*=

Zane huffed, and threw a black ink pot over the painting, that was still drying.
She turned swiftly, ditching the large canvas to continue writing her novel in the Library.
