Snippet #872029

"Woah, large fairies? I was kidding!" Eva laughed into her words, only to go quiet as Jareth mention her Grandmother. Her head tilted to the side, her eyes narrowed. Was he serious? That was the only question that was running through her mind as he began to lose his temper. She stood still, arms crossed against her chest, and her eyebrows rose as he snapped at her.

"Well, maybe it wasn't an accident the mirror was left here..." She trailed off as she saw the sneer appear on Jareth's face. Listening to his next words, a scoff escaped Eva's lips almost instantly.

"What? Want me to grab some mice to help me make a dress and then get a pumpkin so the fairy can send me home in fashion? And 'your' kingdom? Could have fooled me, considering I saved your sorry a-" She took a deep breath, she wasn't going to break into a rage either. Yelling at eachother wasn't going to solve anything, and at least she was in the right mind to see that.

Eva may not have shown it, but she was afraid. When she found Jareth, she found it to almost be a stroke of luck. She wasn't the type of person to leave someone while they were injured to begin with, but the fact that she had been alone in a strange, new world helped. She decided she wasn't going to do anything to try and piss off the only person she thought could help her get home. So she swallowed her fear, and tried to act as normal as she could.

"What? You think I threw...?" Eva looked down and smiled sadly. She sighed, and shook her head in bewilderment. She looked to Jareth, ignoring the dark look her was giving her. If she honestly wanted him dead, she would have done it when he was unconscious or his back turned. It wasn't like she hadn't had the oppurtunity if that was what she wanted.

"Goodnight Jareth. Get some rest." She said the last part a bit bitterly, and she turned and walked out of the attic.

Eva walked into her room, and crawled into her sheets. She sighed deeply, inhaling the fresh scent of the covers and pillow, feeling as if she was actually home for a moment. Her eyes fluttered shut.
