Sarah Williams' POV

When I awoke the next morning it was light and the others were all still asleep. At least, I assumed they were.

I laid next to Roselea for somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes before I couldn't take it any longer. I had to get up.

In a matter of seconds, I was up and out of the tent without waking Roselea.

It was warm outside and the sun shone off everything in that way it only did in the morning when it first got light and then darkened back down again before becoming the day. It was beautiful.

I walked around the clearing looking at everything. The sky, the trees, the grass, the log next to the campfire. An image flashed in my head of the night before. No, not the log next to the campfire, back to the trees, back to the grass and the sky.

It was useless.

I had looked at my seat from last night, and now it's the only place my eyes would go.

I sat on the log that was placed on the other side of the campfire to the one Jareth Eden and I had sat on the night before. I stared at the log thinking over what had happened the night before. Jareth making me tea. Jareth kissing me. Me telling Jareth that I.... Oh my god... Did I? I thought back. Yes. I did, in fact, tell Jareth that I loved him, then continued to make out with him.

It was now that I realized how happy I was that I was the only one awake. I didn't know how I felt about kissing Jareth and telling him I loved him and I needed time to think over the whole thing.

Why did I kiss him? Was it because he kissed me? Was it because I wanted to kiss him? Why did I say I loved him? Do I love him? Don't I love him?

I don't know.

I sat and thought some more.

The sun had fully risen into its morning position when I had finally made up my mind, and just in time, it seemed. I heard the doors to all three tents open and out stepped Jareth Everild, Sarah Everild, Roselea and Jareth Eden.

I smiled politely at them and got smiles in return. Sarah's smile was different though, there was something off about it.

I couldn't place it, but it felt familiar. Of course its familiar, I scolded myself, you have the same face so it's only reasonable you would have the same expression, though I wasn't sure which expression it was.

"Good morning," Roselea said, skipping over to sit beside me. "You were up early this morning."

I frowned. So much for sneaking out of the tent without waking her up, I thought.

"Don't worry, she's a ridiculously light sleeper." Said a voice from my right. I didn't need to look up to know who it was, but I did anyway. My eyes met Jareth Eden's and I smiled and looked back down.

There were rounds of chatter in a variety of topics as we caught, cooked and ate breakfast. And yes, I did just say caught. Roselea thought it would be fun. By the end, neither I nor my face agreed. The rabbit probably did though, baiting me into falling over another branch or root. On the upside Roselea gave me some of her prey so I didn't go back empty-handed.

After breakfast I decided to go and stand by the tree line, leaning on one of the trees.

I locked over the camp but didn't realise I wasn't actually looking AT the camp until a shadow shielded the sun from my eyes and I looked to the side to see Sarah Everild was stood with me.

"Hi." I noticed she was studying me in such a way I partially expected that she could see the very atoms that built up my existence.

"Hey." She said with that smile back on her face. I couldn't place it before but seeing it up close paired with the look in her eyes, I realised. That was my accusing slash know 'I know things you don't know or perhaps don't want me to know' look. A look that I, a fellow wearer of that look and face, needed to know the reason for.

"What are you smiling at"

She smiled wider.

"I don't know. Perhaps it has something to do with you? And a certain look you have on your face? And a certain air about you? And a certain royal Fae?"

Wow, that was a lot of certai- Wait.... Did she say royal Fae?!

"You know?!" I whisper shouted, pulling her closer to me and facing towards her, rather than the camp.

"Of course I know. I know your facial expressions and I know you, better than anyone else I'd wager given that I AM you. So..... Tell me all about it?" She said, her voice turning into that of a gossiping 13 year old towards the end.

I gave her a look of annoyance before telling her all about my conversation turn make out session with Jareth Eden last night. In truth, I was happy I had someone to tell this to. I was even happier that it was Sarah Everild. Most people would probably judge me for liking... Loving?... The man who kidnapped my baby brother and made me run around his annoying ass maze for 13 hours, but Sarah Everild not only wouldn't judge me, but couldn't given she did ifirst.

When I finished Sarah had a look of deep thought, happiness and something else on her face. Understanding?

After a moment she smiled and gave me advice that I would not expect to come from someone who was in the same position as I was only a couple of months ago.

"Give it time. You may have doubts now, even though you know you feel for him, but if you give it time and actually get to know him those doubts will fade away. If he's anything like my Jareth, he's waiting."

"For what?"

"For you."

She said it so matter-of-factly that it was impossible not to believe her. All of my doubts disappeared with the look in her eyes. That look disappeared quickly and was replaced with one I could only describe as pure love when she turned her eyes from me and onto Jareth Everild, who was leaning against a tree on the opposite us at the other end of the clearing. He had the same look of love and adoration, but also held a slight glimmer of the knowing look Sarah had worn earlier.

"Does he Know?" I didn't even need to hear her speak to know her answer, the 'oops' expression on her face said it all. "Why?!" I whisper shouted again.

"He guessed!" She said, holding her hands up in defence. "Believe it or not, he was there when I fell for him so he probably knows what it looks like."

Ok, That makes a lot of sense, but still.

Sarah's went still for a moment and looked as though she was listening to something. Just as I was about to ask what she looked over a Jareth with such a scalding look I was not surprised when he stood and walked briskly over to Jareth Eden and Roselea. Sarah turned back to me and did a slight huff. "Sorry," She said "he was winding me up."

I realised that must be all a person on the outside would ever see when those two were talking to each other in their minds. A moment of thought, then back to nothing.

"You really think this will end well?" I asked. "Jareth and me, together?"

"Ok." She said. "First things first. Jareth and me? Come on Sarah, it's Jareth and I. I thought you knew better" The smile on her face mad it a little less hurting that she was right. I, Sarah Williams, lover of books and all around nerd had used the incorrect term. What was next, mixing up who and whom? "And second," her voice pulled me out of my thoughts and back to her. "Of course it will work."

"Because it did for you?" I asked, slightly offended by the fact that Sarah's and my life should follow so closely together.

"No. As much as we are the same person, we are also individuals. Just because I've lived my life one way, that does not mean yours will follow the same path."

"Then how do you know?"

She smiled. "Because I see you two. As much as you two refused to admit it, you have liked each other for a very long time. You suit each other, You'll be fine. Both of you. Now come on, lets go back and join the others."

With a smile Sarah Everild and I rejoined the group. Though I had not asked, Sarah and Jareth Everild said nothing of what happened with Jareth Eden and I. They left us to figure things out in our own time.

I'm going to miss them when they go back.

Hi everyone,

I'm sure, sadly, that you are getting used to and fed up of the late updates and apology notes. This will be stopping for this book as it will soon be drawing to a close. This is both a Sad and Joyous thing at the same time. We are happy because the book has come to a neat and happy end, but also sad for the same reason. I am also sad over the fact that I will no longer be co-writing with Katarina. Who is not only a co-author but now also a friend whom I talk with almost daily and also have, which I'm not afraid to admit, an 82 day streak on SnapChat... One that, I'm you're not surprised to hear, would be a 2 year streak if I wasn't so lazy/forgetful and actually replied. (Sorry Katarina XD)

On that rambling note, I bring this chapter to a close and I cannot wait to see you all in the next one.

Bye Bye
