CoffeeKris: Ok, I know it's SUPER late and SUPER short, but….well I'm having trouble putting my plot into action. So consider this story on semi-hiatus.

As soon as Sarah and Jareth returned to the Underground with his grandfather, they were quickly ushered into the family parlour and seated. Sarah soon learned that the grandfather she had met was named Nikoli. Sarah was quickly introduced to Nikoli's wife Gwendolyn, as well as Siian's parents Lorlei and Fletcher.

Every face in the room was full of frustration. Siian looked positively livid as did Wilfred, who was constantly glancing at Rosalind. Rosalind's arms were horribly scarred from where the iron Evelyn had chained her in had touched her, and she spent most of her time scowling at the scars. Demetrius sat next to Rosalind, he too kept glancing at her scars, his jaw clenched tightly. Damien sat beside him and looked positively heartbroken. Marina sat beside Damien, a myriad of expressions running across her face as one hand rested on her stomach and the other tapped impatiently against her seat.

The family had just finished filling Sarah and Jareth in on Evelyn's actions since their departure, and now the room was suffocatingly silent, it seemed no one was certain what to say to break it. Finally Jareth spoke.

"I assume that you've called me home for more than to tell me all of this."

Wilfred sighed and nodded.

"The Council has called a trial, Jareth. They're petitioning the entire Underground to encase her, the moment she's spotted. She'll be tried without even being there and she'll be sentenced guilty. We…I…had hoped to find her before things got this far, but…they know she intends to face them and they hope to destroy her before that can happen."

He broke off and cleared his throat.

"The trial begins in a matter of hours."

Embry smirked to himself as he took a final appraisal of himself in his mirror. Things were working out well for him. Evelyn had clearly lost her mind, which would lead to her destruction; exactly what he needed. He was only too aware how close she was coming to the truth behind Brennen's encasement, he knew she knew something of Rosalind's involvement in it and he was certain she was aware of his part in it. But soon his problems would be solved, he would take control of the Council with Rosalind's help and the two would come to control the Underground. Eventually he felt, he'd have to dispose of Rosalind…. but she'd provide some entertainment while he needed her at least.

Evelyn sat heaped on the ground, leaning heavily on a tree behind her. She had prepared everything she could for her demise. She made certain everything she had possession over was gone; nothing remained. She had destroyed her home, her garden, everything. The only thing she had left was the clothing on her back. She had taken special care in choosing her outfit, and making certain that he lack of strength was well hidden. With a sigh, she gently rose from her spot on the ground and cast a final glance at the place where her home had once stood. It was time to face the Council.

Jareth: (glares) I can't believe you're abandoning the story again.

Kris: I'm busy. 'Sides, I'm working on Fwd:Fwd:FaeMail to try and get enough creative juice flowing to do this story justice.

Jareth: (sighs in irritation) Not even done one story and already working on another.

Kris: Listen to me Goblin King, I just got through some issues at work, I worked my butt off today, I have to go to work tomorrow at 6am, and I wrote this lil bit even though I have to vacuum the house and do dishes, not to mention I live on a farm and have hay fever, and guess what we're cutting right now? Hay! So you just, just, DON'T TEST ME!

Jareth: (raises an eyebrow) Impressive volume and sufficient anger. Very nice.

Kris: Thank you. (falls to her knees and yells into the sky) REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!
