Little Prince snorted at Jeremey and pawed the ground impatiently as he leaned in the entry way of the stall admiring Sierra.
"Easy boy"she said as she stroked the jealous horses neck.Immediately Little Prince calmed and let her continue grooming him.
"You have a way with animals "he professed.
She smilled as her icy blue eyes connected with his caramel eyes for a moment.
That moment sent a chill down her spine."He trusts me"she said simply.
She put the brush away and exited the stall and latched it so that Little Prince could not come out.


"Shall we go back to the castle?"Jeremy suggested.
"I should go check in on Philip and changed"she mused
"Philip?"he said with a questioning tone.
"He's my adopted son that was left for me to take care of when I was in the mortal world.But to me he is my son."she did not know why she felt th need to explain this to him ,but regardless she did.

"So kind"he said but his words were barely a whisper.
"Would you do me the honor by joing me for dinner in the garden tonight?'
"I..." She did not want to seem rude. But what would Jareth think ,or what would he do if he found out.Would he even care she thought to herself.She was going to find out.
"I accept you invitation" she said politly.



Jeremy seemed to glow as he smiled at her and took her hand and lifted it to his lips to kiss.
"Please forgive me Sierra,but I must see to other pressing matters before our dinner"he let go of her hand and gave her a small bow before leaving.

The scene left her with butterflies in her stomache that she quickly shook off.
She checked in on Philip who was in the nursery.The sleeping babe lay in the cradle so fragile so innocent.Kissing him on the forehead she pulled a blanket over him to keep him warm.
Seeing that he was fine she went to her own room to prepare for tonight.


Being alone did nothing to soothe her mind on the contrary it only seemed to add to the confusion.
Why do I care if Jareth is happpy or if he is doing alright,she thought to herself.
"How did I ever fall in love with an arrogant,feather puffing sparkler"she said outloud.
"That ..that charming sensitive romantic guy that doesn't love me "she sighed putting her hand on her forehead.

However ,her mind turned to another only for a moment but she thought of Jeremy.He seemed like a friend,but his actions and some of his words indicated that he wanted more than just friendship.
She knew she would have to tread carefully in these waters.She didn't know how Jareth would react to him,but from past experiences even if he didn't love her in that way he was a very protective person.She does feel something for Jeremy,but as of know it is nothing more than friend ship but there seems to be something tugging at her heart that always seems to lead her back to Jareth.

Sighing Sierra dressed in a fashionable red dress with a decent v neck that has a full skirt,something that is required for evening meals {for the women}.
Before going into the garden she steps outside to get some fresh air and collect herself.


This beating heart is here for you
I gave it to you
But know will you fight for it
Or leave me behind
If there is a threat of it being taken by another

Or do you wish me to leave
And leave you alone
Even though my heart only belongs to one
Will he be the one I hold dear
Or will he be the one to toss it aside
And leave me to fend formyself

I would never pressure you
But in this case it is not I who has issued the challenge
I will always be loyal to you
Unless of course you say those words of rejection
Then I will leave you in peace.
But my heart will always be with you.
