Chapter 23= final chapter

Jareth arrived on the scene to a site he despised. A grown man was on the bed of a small child, trying to force himself on a 5 year old girl. An eight year girl was fighting the man, trying to keep him from her little sister, but not successfully. Jareth watched as the 8 year old was thrown across the room and Jareth couldn't stop the anger anymore. The goblins showed themselves and opened the door as Jareth flew in, changed mid fight and attacked the man.

The man didn't know what hit him. Jareth watched as the man looked up at him in anger before Jareth set his goblins upon him. Soon, there was nothing left but a disfigured mess that was once a living man. Jareth quickly checked on the 5 year old that was crying on the bed. The man had been orally abusing her, but he saw the blood on the bed. He knew where it came from when he saw the blood at the bottom half of the 8 year old white nightgown.

Jareth went to her next as the goblins cooed and protected the younger girl. He used some of his magic to heal the wound on the back of the girls head as the girl opened her eyes.

"You're him aren't you? You're the Goblin King?"

"Yes little one. What is your name?"

"Carolyn. That is my sister Mary on the bed. Where is my daddy? He was the one hurting us"

Jareth had to swallow the bile that rose from his stomach. That man was their Father! He shook his head of the disturbing images that had filled his head. He needed to know.

"Where is your mother Carolyn?"

"I don't know. Daddy came home drunk again and Momma tried to keep him from us. We heard fighting then Momma scream after a large pop sound. Then nothing intil daddy came in here and hurt me and then started hurting sissy. Please take her away to safety Goblin King. I don't want her to hurt anymore"

A tear left Jareth's eye, this small girl had wished away her sister to save her. If he had any say in the situation, neither one of them would be hurt again. It was then that a small goblin came and whispered something in his ear. The mother was down stairs. She was dead from a single gun shot wound to her chest.

"Carolyn, I'm afraid your daddy killed your mommy. I'm very sorry, but I will do something else. How about both you and your sister come and live in the goblin Kingdom with me and my family?"

The little girl looked surprised. She hadn't expected the Goblin King would take them both away.

"Really, you mean it? No more pain from daddy's hand and no more of the pain that happened tonight?"

Jareth had to smile at the child's wonder and innocence. If he had his way, both of the little girl's life would be better from now on. He sent the goblins ahead of him to prepare for the children's arrival.

"That's right Carolyn. All you have to do is come with me ok? And the name is King Jareth"

"Ok Jareth" replied Carolyn as she went to get up, but cringed at the pain she was experiencing. Jareth picked the girl up before going to the bed and picking up Mary. He walked through the open window that led into the underground. He then transported all three in his bed chambers. He would have a healer come to him.

Sarah was shocked when several angry goblins ran into the room. The goblins quickly put together two small beds and Sarah's stomach dropped. He was bringing the wished away child here, while she was here giving birth! When Jareth appeared with two little girls, he ran to the small beds and screamed for the healers. Sarah watched in horror as two healers came running in and asking what was wrong intil they saw the older girls night gown. She almost got sick as she heard their words.

"Oh sweet Gods! Who would defile such a small child?"

"Their father"

"Where is the runner?"

"There is no runner, they are staying here"

"Yes your majesty"

Sarah was appalled. Their father had done this to them! Christina and Gwenivere sensed Sarah's distress for the girls and gave her a comforting hug. They understood completely why she was upset. They little girls in front of them were hurt. To hear Jareth wanted to keep them together and here at the castle meant Jareth was not going to adopt them out. That meant Jareth had actually witnessed the attack.

Sarah watched as Jareth rushed around and cared for the two small girls. Her heart was breaking for the girls. How could a father hurt his children like that? What kind of monster could look at a child and think that this was right!

She could hear Jareth talking to the older girl with understanding and care. He was going to be such a good father. May the gods help these children as they took them under their wings for protection?

"Carolyn, I'm going to put up a cloth screen while my healer fixes the damage your daddy did ok. See that pretty woman on the bed?"

"Yes"

"That's my wife, Queen Sarah. She is making me a daddy and I will promise you I will never let anything bad happen to them or you. If you hear her scream it is because she is having a baby ok. She is not being hurt. But keep your sister with you intil she is finished ok. I don't want the both of you to get scared"

"Ok Jareth"

"I'll be on the other side of the screen with her if you both need me. Just call out, and I'll be here. You even get to meet my older son and the new baby before anyone else"

With that, Jareth put up the cloth screen and called on Jackson to fetch his wife Maria. When Maria arrived a few moments later, Jareth introduced the girls to Maria and explained she was going to make sure they were safe. He then ordered that a room be placed next to Toby's with a large bed and done up in pink and white. The goblins rushed to do their King's bidding as Jareth returned to Sarah.

"What happened?"

"Their father killed their mother, then raped the older girl and was proceeding in raping the younger child when I arrived. The police are arriving as we speak to find the mother and looking for the children. I'll arrange the mother to get a proper burial"

"Oh my god those poor girls!"

Christina and Gwenivere gasped when they heard Jareth. Gwenivere rushed behind the curtain with Christina on her heels to look upon the girls. They were beautiful and Christina quickly used her magic to put the two girls in pretty dresses. The girls seemed to like this and Gwenivere said she would stay in there intil the baby was born as Christina rushed back out to help Sarah.

Gwenivere sat next to the girls and her and Maria helped the healers examine the girls. Gwenivere placed her hand on Carolyn's stomach to fix the internal damage done by her father. The girl looked up at the older Queen with astonishment.

"You have my mommy's hair"

Gwenivere just smiled. She was fighting back tears and she didn't want to upset the girl more.

"You know, I have 2 granddaughters. Jessica is 13 and Daphna is 8. I think you might be around Daphna's age, am I right?"

"Yeah, I'm 8 too. This is Mary, she just turned 5. My name is Carolyn"

"Well then, hello Carolyn and Mary. My name is Queen Gwenivere and my son Jareth is going to make sure you are never hurt again"

Soon enough, Sarah was given the urge to push and started to do so. Carolyn and Mary had gotten worried at the sounds of Sarah's screams, and Jareth wasn't too pleased about his wife being in so much pain either. Jareth and Christina helped Sarah sit up with each contraction as they also held on to a knee.

The midwife said she could see the head, and Jareth smiled when he heard her say the baby had a head full of blond hair. It only took one more big push before the baby was born. Sarah gave a cry in triumph when the baby was expelled and she lay back exhausted and cried when she heard the baby's first cry. But it was the Midwife next words that brought tears to everyone's eyes.

"Congratulations My King and Queen; it's a healthy baby girl"

Jareth cut the cord in shock as the midwife then proceeded to clean up the wriggling bundle of screaming pink skin and He kissed Sarah's sweaty forehead while they were waiting. A moment later, the midwife returned with the princess wrapped in a pink blanket and handed her to Jareth. Sarah watched as Jareth sat there and uncovered the baby's face to see his little girl sucking on her fist and looking up at him. Her eyes were mismatched like his own, just one was sky blue and one was emerald green.

"She's beautiful" Jareth said as Sarah was helped to sit up by him so she too could see her daughter. Jareth handed her to Sarah and the baby reached out for her mother's hand. As the small baby gripped her mother's finger, the midwife asked for a name. Sarah looked up at Jareth and it came up with a name she had had on her mind for some time.

"How about Faith Reinette"

Jareth just smiled at Sarah and kissed her before repelling.

"Welcome to the world, Princess Faith"

Outside, pink fireworks exploded into the sky as the whole Goblin Kingdom celebrated the birth of their princess. It was the beginning of a new line of royals that would help them stay in peace and harmony for a long time.

It took a month, but Carolyn and Mary got used to living in the underground. They took to Sarah like a duck to water and Jareth would always laugh when he would see Sarah walking down a hallway or across the garden with one baby in her arms, and three children following behind her. Toby thought it pretty cool that he had gained three sisters instead one in a single night, but then asked Jareth when they would give him a brother, much to Sarah's shock and Jareth's laughter. The boy would have a brand new line of royals if he had his way.

The labyrinth still carried runners, and took away wished away children. Jareth still ran the goblin Kingdom while teaching Toby all about the labyrinth, as he would one day become its king. Sarah raised the girls to be princess and realize the responsibility of being Fae.

It wasn't too long before Toby, Carolyn and Mary were changed into Fae and the healers said Carolyn would grow up normally despite the harm done to her by her real father. Mary had a spell cast on her to forget the terrible night her father had molested her, but when Jareth went to do it to Carolyn, she asked him not to. She told him it made stronger to get through such an ordeal and she wanted to become just as strong as her new momma. Jareth could only smile and agree with her; after all she was now Sarah's daughter.

"Ok Carolyn, I can understand your reasoning. But if it even changes"

"I know King Jareth, and I thank you"

No one knew the danger that was coming. In a prophesy in the High Fae library, spoke of a mortal that would bring peace and beauty to the Underground and who would capture a Fae King's heart. But not many people remembered was that the prophesy also spoke of a great evil that would try to destroy the heart of the Mortal turned Fae Queen. It spoke of pain no normal woman should go thru, and a secret that could tear a family apart.

As the prophesy was written, a man laughed in great glee. Queen Sarah would do to remember that she was a worthless mortal and that her dream would soon be destroyed. A mortal in this man's opinion had no right to serve with a Fae. He would make the Goblin Kingdom pay for their ignorance of traditions and old rules. The man closed the book and left the High Royal Family library before he was discovered.

After all, it just wouldn't do to be caught just yet. Not after no one knew he was even still alive.
