WHO: Juniper and Edward
WHEN: Day 6, around lunchtime
WHAT: Juniper getting her mental ass kicked by Jareth's rules/getting in a huge fight with Edward
WHERE: Juniper's room
RATING: R-ish
STATUS: Complete

Something had gone very, terribly wrong. Though Juniper had been rightfully confident in her ability, apparently, her ability wasn't one that was allowed any longer. Jareth must have done something, put up a mental teleportation block as well as a physical one. That was the only thing that could have left Juniper as she was now. Weak, ravaged, and mentally closed off, completely unconscious.

But something was changing. Though she didn't move, and didn't speak - audibly or otherwise - Juniper began to run a fever. Her skin flushed red and beads of sweat formed on her face, her body fighting so hard to keep her brain from boiling that her hair, clothes and bed became sopping wet in barely a minute.

Something had changed, but it was clearly not good.

Juniper's heart nearly broke at the look in his eyes, tears coming to her own. Cupping his cheek in her hand again, she leaned forward and pressed a gentle but purposeful kiss to his lips, then resting her forehead against his. "You can't," she whispered, letting out a little sigh that almost hinted at defeat.

But then she leaned back to look at him and smiled. "Because it's mine. It's not for anyone to take. Not you, not God, not anyone. With everything I've been through, all the lives I've lead, I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt. My soul, my self, it's the only thing I've been able to keep over all these lifetimes."

"I know you don't believe me, but I'm limited on time, Edward. And before...I'd squared with that. Now, I have something I need to live for, and I'm not prepared to wait out fate to bring us together again. I'm not willing to bank on finding out who I was again in time to remember you. I don't want to take that risk."

Edward was not willing to negotiate this topic, but he was too emotionally drained to fight about it. He'd been through the wringer of his emotions and back in the last hour and he needed some time before working himself up again otherwise he was likely going to end up throwing a temper tantrum of massive proportions.

Deciding the best course of action would be to distract his rather persistent girlfriend, Edward offered her his most dazzling smile and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "You know it's still pretty early in the day. Why don't we go out and enjoy the weather?" Of course that's when he realized it was raining so he switched tactics quickly. "It's overcast and raining and I can walk around without being made a spectacle. Why don't we go and spend some time at this renaissance fair I keep hearing about. I've never been to one before and this could be my last chance."
