-Laihi looks around before sitting down at her desk-
Laihi: Well, so far no sign of His Royal Pain as of yet....

Gideon: You don't wanna know...Almost blew my cover...

Chapter 7
Sarah stirred in the bed, slowly awakening from her slumber. The darkness in the room surprised her, and it took a few moments for her eyes to adjust. Subtle light from the half-moon shone through the balcony window, and she walked over to it, opening the doors wide. She walked out on the balcony, resting her hands on the ebony rail, trying to remember what happened before she blacked-out. She remembered the picnic, laying in Selene's arms, then an owl....Jareth! She spun around, expecting to see him standing behind her with that ridiculus smirk on his face. Seeing nothing, she sighed, wrapping her arms around herself in the cool breeze that made slight goosebumps rise on her skin. A few moments later, a blanket was wrapped around her shoulders, arms wrapped around her waist, and she turned her head, smiling warmly at Selene.
"You shouldn't be out here while it's cold, love," Selene said softly, kissing Sarah on the cheek, "How long have you been awake?"
"Only a few minutes, I promise. How did I get back to the mansion?" Sarah asked.
"You fainted and I carried you back. The healer said it was nothing too serious..." Selene trailed off, trying to find the right words to tell Sarah about her newly begun transformation.
"How come I got the feeling that there's more to tell than that?" Sarah asked. Selene sighed, placing another kiss on Sarah's forehead.
"Come inside, love. There's something that I need to tell you...."

Jareth, after ordering the goblins to clean the throne room, paced the once-again cleaned floor. Hoggle, being that he never left the throne room, helped himself to the beer keg in the corner that was left by some goblins. He refilled the mug, taking a deep drink of it.
"Now, tell me this again..." he said, sitting down at the base of the throne.
"Sarah had me lifted by the throat, and had me almost 3 feet in the air, and said something along the lines of ripping my throat out..."Jareth told Hoggle, rubbing his neck where Sarah's hand had chocked him.
Hoggle started laughing into his drink, an unamused Jareth glaring at him. Hoggle cut the laugh short when he felt Jareth's gaze.
"Ya ain't kidding, are ya?" Hoggle asked. Jareth shook his head, slumping into his throne.
"Then what'd she do?"
"Let go of me and fainted," Jareth said, "Her suitor caught her before she hit the ground...that woman's reflexes were about as fast as mine..."
Jareth suddenly sprang up from the throne, disappearing in a cloud of glitter. Hoogle took this as being dismissed and left the room, faerie sprayer over his shoulder.

Selene could believe how well Sarah was taking all this. Selene decided to start from the beginning, with the murder of her family, all the way up to present time with herself becoming the new coven leader. They were sipping from the Sanguinarian wine, although Selene had half a mind not to give Sarah anymore despite the healer's advice to let things run their course....
"Well, if the wine is causing her to change, we'll just stop drinking it, " Selene said to the healer.
"I would recommend against that, my dear. Her body is already accustomed to it and the transformation is at the stage where it can't be reversed," He replied.
"So there is nothing that can be done?" Selene said with an exhausted sigh.
"I'm afraid there isn't. Just break it to her gently..."
"Selene? Are you okay?" Sarah asked.
"Yes, it's just hard to talk about all this...I've never told this to anyone outside the coven, and then even few within," She said, pulling Sarah into her arms for emotional support. Sarah kissed her on the cheek with a sweet smile.
"I'm honored that you trusted me with your story, love. I can't understand how hard it is. But there's something else, right?"
"Yes, Sarah. You see, in recent years, the labs have been working on a substitute for blood and finally a prototype was created," Selene said.
"What is the prototype?" Sarah asked, sitting back up and adjusting her nightgown. She reached for her wineglass and took a sip.
"You are drinking it," Selene said, waiting to see Sarah's reaction. Sarah looked at her glass, swirling it around, and took another sip.
"Good substitute, I wouldn't have even guessed what it was....but does it have to do with things besides the obvious?" Sarah asked, setting the glass down to refill it.
"Well, at first, I was going to limit it to only being drunk here at the mansion. But a few of the younger lab techs decided to experiment with it in one of our clubs, to see if there would be any effect on mortals. You were one of the first to drink it, and at first there wasn't any signs of change..." Selene trailed off with a worried look.
"At first? Selene, what's wrong?" Sarah asked, her voice full of concern. Selene decided to cut to the chase.
"Sarah, for some reason, the wine is changing you...Love, you are becoming a vampire."

Jareth nearly dropped the crystal for the second time while eavesdropping on their conversation. Sarah's suitor, the woman Selene, had just told Sarah her life's story. Jareth knew there was something different about the woman, but being a vampire was one of the last things he would've guessed. There were rumors of such things in the Underground, but none were proved true. Hearing her story, he had found a new respect for the woman, but it still wasn't enough to justify Sarah become one of her kind, whether or not it was intentional. He had planned on making Sarah his bride and fey queen, and this was another hit below the belt for him.
Jareth started pacing the room, wondering what could be done...then changed to his owl form, deciding to go visit the vampire and his Sarah, just to see how far things had really progressed....
Laihi: Yay! Finished! I'm soooooooo sorry that it took so long...
-Jareth appears, with a smug look on his face.-
Laihi: -looks around for Gideon- Where's your little boyfriend?
Jareth: I decided to let Gideon ponder a little while in an Oubliette....
Laihi: YOU WHAT?! -stands at full height- You better return Gideon this instant or I'll...
Jareth: Or you'll what? -crosses her arms-
-Laihi smiles wickedly and leans over to whisper in Jareth's ear. He drops the smile and disappears. Gideon reappears a few moments later in his place, coughing.-
Gideon: Thanks, Laihi. It was so filthy down there...what on earth did you tell him?
Laihi: -starts putting her books away- I just told him that I would give him to the next fangirl/boy that reviewed.....See ya later everyone!!!! Next person to review gets Jareth for a full 24 hours!!!! -lol-
