Melody looked around, eyes wide and she almost forgot where she was and let her mouth drop in awe. She remembered, and so far, the night was going well...So far. Sir Smith saw Jareth and saw he was with Melody and approached, smiling happily. "You made it, my guests!" he greeted and bowed to them. Melody managed to bow with Jareth, and looked into his eyes and smiled at Sir Smith. He cupped her cheek and then pulled away abruptly. "Did you fall?" The make up was still on, luckly. He had felt the scrape before he'd looked over her face to examine what's she'd done to it. Melody flushed, and nodded. "Yeah, I fell on my way over to Jareth's," she answered. "It wasn't bad though. I shouldn't have been rushing." Sir Smith chuckled and looked over her face. "Jareth, you should keep her, she certainly is an exquisite young lady," he complimented, bowed and then stood again. "I must see to my other guests, but enjoy the dancing and foods and beverages." He walked away, and Melody glanced up at Jareth. She wondered if she'd done okay.

He nodded at Smith's suggestion and watched the man leave, he glanced down at Melody. "Sweet and simple, Melody." Jareth reminded her like always and lead her in further so that he could mingle. He saw some people he knew and walked over, introducing them to Melody before he started to speak with them about current events that were going on. As he spoke he let go of Melody, very much enrapt with the conversation.

Melody smiled at everyone she was introduce to, and listened quietly as they spoke. Unfortunately she got bored and eventually began to watch people in the ball, eyes flitting from one person to another. She spotted Willhelm, and he was giving her the 100th over, as if he wasn't sure whether to attack and eat her or seduce her. She saw he was going to approach before he did, and she turned her head, hoping that her lack of interest in him would keep him at bay. It didn't. He approached and smiled at everyone, standing beside Melody. "Excuse me, Sir Jareth, may I borrow Lady Melody for a dance?" he asked him politely, bowing his out of respect.

Jareth glanced at them only for a second and then nodded his head, "Of course you may, take good care of her." He gave Melody a look that said 'dont embarass me'. "now where was I... Oh yes," Jareth started speaking again, the other people adding in everyone now and again.

Melody stared at Jareth for a moment before Willhelm dragged her off- like a gentleman though. He pulled her into a waltz and smirked down at her. "So, commoner, how'd you end up with a man like Jareth? Surely you work for him, yes?" Melody frowned and resisted the urge to be snide. "He knows my aunt, and has been wanting to visit her for awhile." "Your...Aunt Aveline?" he mumbled and looked into her eyes. "And you are the bastard offspring of Gil, who is now your uncle?" She nodded. "Yes, that's correct," she answered. Her eyes moved over to where Jareth was and her eyes took on a serious look. There was a blond girl, someone extremely hot and probably well educated and all that bullshit she was learning, and she was fawning over Jareth. Willhelm noticed this and smirked. "Ah, so you are fond of that man, eh? That girl has been after him for months...And she hasn't embarrassed him like you are," he mumbled, eyes cold and amused. Melody frowned and looked up at Willhelm, then away. He heard his name called, and in a moment of distraction, lost his grip on her, and Melody turned, and caused him to stumble, which caused her to fall back, and both got coated in some sort of red wine. The people around them stared, appalled. Several servants rushed over and helped them up. Melody was very red, and they were wiping off her face, which revealed the cut on her cheek. People felt bad for Willhelm, and considering the looks she was getting, she knew they were blaming her. Willhelm did his best to assure them he had fault to, but no one believed him- they called him 'humble,' 'too kind,' and 'modest,' and other loads of bullshit. Melody's cheeks stung and she looked at the dress...She wondered if it was ruined now. She found a dark corner to hide in after that, absolutely petrified to go see Jareth, and too afraid to leave and embarrass him further. She touched her cheek, tracing over the cut. "I wonder if he really likes my cooking," she mumbled, watching a tray of food pass by. "Or if it's just commoner food that isn't as good as this stuff..." She sighed sadly and touched the hem of her gown, frowning sadly. The night wasn't over yet.
Daphnee, the blond woman, smiled up at Jareth. "Did you really bring that commoner here? That girl is rather clumsy...The poor Prince got a wine shower because of her. Surely she is just some mission, yes?" She couldn't believe he'd align himself with some uneducated commoner.

He had seen what happened, embarassment taking over her, how could she had done that to him! The idiot! Jareth watched Melody go and hide before looking down at Daphnee with his cold eyes. "She's part of a mission... But I plan on keeping her." His voice was chilled, he was angry, angrier than he'd ever been in front of a crowd of people such as this. Jareth bowed and took Daphnee's hand, kissing the top of it gently before tanding straight and releasing it. "Madam, I must be excusing myself. It has been a pleasure speaking with you." He snapped before stalking past her and towards the corner that Melody was in, his eyes were glowing furiously, causing people to move out of his way quickly, not wanting to get in his path.

Melody looked over when she heard a woman gasp at how 'angry he looked.' She paled and shrunk more in her corner, watching as Jareth approached. He looked so angry. She took another step back, and she moved on step too far, and the she stumbled over, knocking down a vase. It fell over her and she bit her lower lip, trying not to cry. She dusted off some of the dirt, and looked at the broken pottery. Her cheeks were so red now. She glanced at her ankle, which hurt like a bitch, and saw that the heel had broken. Great. She looked up and got up, standing on the one foot and using the wall for balance.

"Idiot!" He snarled, grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her through the crowd of people and out of the ball, not even bothering to stop and do the polite thing and say goodnight to Sir Smith and all of that other mannerly bullshit. Jareth dragged her down the road roughly, moving so fast that pieces of his slick back hair started to fall back into their original relaxed position. When they got to an area completely deviod of people besides themselves he slammed her into the nearest flat surface, hands on her shoulders, chest heaving. "YOU MADE A FUCKING FULL OUT OF ME YOU STUPID BITCH!" Jareth roared, his naisl digging into her small, feminine shoulders.

Melody's teared up when he yelled at her in public. Like she wasn't embarrassed enough- covered in red wine, pieces of a vase, and dirt. She stumbled after him, crying and keeping her head low. She felt all sorts of eyes on them as they left. She let out a sharp yelp as she felt her back hit the surface, and she looked up at him, face a mixture of humiliation and pain. She could feel a bruise swelling on the back of her skull. She whimpered and began to apologize,tears picking up. His nails were really painful, and she could feel her skin breaking in some parts. "Ow, Jareth! You're hurting me...I'm so sorry, it was an accident! I swear, it was! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me, please..." she sobbed.

Jareth was to infuriated to care if he was hurting her on not at the moment. "An accident... That was a fucking accident...? No. That was humiliating, disgraceful, idiotic, and asinine of you!" He growled, not releasing her, instead grabbing even more tightly. "Stop crying you little mutt!" He back-handed her, causing her to be thrown to the ground, he stared down at her, eyes full of rage and viciousness.

Melody let out a sharp gasp and stumbled over, scraping her hands on the ground to catch herself. He'd hit her....He'd really hit her. She touched her cheek, eyes still tearing up. Her body shook and she let out a soft sob. Her shoulders were bruising and cut up, her cheek was, in addition to her skull, swelling from the pain. She didn't say anything, just kept herself on the ground. He'd called her a mutt too, a mutt!

He continued to glower down at her for a couple of moments before realizing that they were out in the open, luckily his house wasn't far away from there. Jareth moved towards her, bending down and lifting her up throwing her over his shoulder, he held her so that her rear end was facing in front of Jareth and so that her face was hidden behind him, he didn't want to see her cry. He carried her easily and quiclly though the night, grip on her extremely tight and almost bone crushing. If she bothered trying to make him let go he ignored her and kept on moving until they got to his house. He took her into his room and tossed her carelessly onto his bed, "Ruined your fucking dress and your shoes." The man snarled, yanking off her shoes and throwing them out the open window of his room. H grabbed her ankles and dragged her closer, starting to tear the dress off of her body, it was useless now that it was stained.

Melody cried harder as he carried her, his grip bruising her in more places. She bounced on his bed when they got inside, and she let out sharp noises of fear as he yanked off her shoes carelessly and then went to rip of her dress. She shook beneath him, terrified. "I'm sorry, it was...." she whimpered, wiping her eyes, trying to catch her breath. "I'm sorry..."

"Shut up, I can't listening to you! You're so pathetic." Jareth tore her dress off and flung it to the ground he yanked off his own clothing until he was down to his boxers. He turned the light of, red eyes bright in the pitch black. He laid down on his side of the bed, grasped Melody be the hair, and pulled her up to lay next to him harshly. As soon as she was level with him he released her hair and then pulled the blankets over their bodies. "Go to sleep and be fucking quiet." Jareth ordered before he became completely still and silent, he watched her through the darkness though, eyes gleaming.

Melody let out a shrill noise of pain and grabbed at his hand, feeling pain as he tugged her by her hair. She turned and hid her face in the pillow, trying to be quiet. Her body was shaking and she kept sobbing. God, she hurt all over, both physically and emotionally. He'd beaten her! Jareth had beaten her! She couldn't believe it, and it hurt to acknowledge she'd actually been beaten by the guy she liked.
