Star and Marco lay in their bed, sleeping with the window shutters closed. Slowly opening her eyes, Star looked up and frowned, "Marco?" Marco hummed as he opened his eyes slightly and looked down in confusion, "Where did you run off to last night? When we got back to the room, you refused to speak about it and-"

"I…I went to talk to Sabrina's parents," the undead teens sat up and Marco sighed as he hung his head, "They're really good lawyers, and I promised that if they help with Eclipsa's trial, we'd either send them and Sabrina back to earth or find them a job in the castle,"

"What? But they turned on you and-"

"I know…but keeping them here and awaiting death…it'll only serve the old trope of monsters being evil," Marco sighed and laid back down as Star frowned and laid down beside him, "I only made the deal with them because I'm trying to help Eclipsa out as much as possible, and I knew they wouldn't help us without getting something in return,"

Star took a deep breath and shook her head, "Noble idiot," wrapping her arm around his torso, Star nuzzled closer to him and the two fell asleep once again.

Hours passed and Star and Marco stared down the stairwell leading to the dungeons with narrowed eyes before descending them. Walking through the dungeons, the pair ignored the glances and screams of the humans and Mewmans in the cells. Stopping in front of a cell, Marco opened it and stepped inside, "Are you ready?"

"We have one more request before we do this," Daphne narrowed her eyes and the two Vampires looked at her, "We'll help your friend with this trial, but we want Sabrina out of her cell while we're preparing and during the trial,"

"What?" Star snapped as her eyes flashed, "And what if we refuse?"

"Then being stuck in here doesn't seem so bad," Mike answered with narrowed eyes, "Let our daughter roam freely while we prepare for this trial and during the trial, or you can forget about our help,"

"No, no wa-"

"Fine," everyone looked at Marco as his eyes narrowed and flashed a hellish red, "We'll give Sabrina some freedom, but just so you know, if you're planning something stupid, I will bled both of you dry in front of her without hesitation, do you understand?" the two adults swallowed hard and slightly nodded, "Good, now let's go," turning his back on them, Marco walked out of the cell with Star following close behind before the two adults began following as well.

The group stopped in front of the cell and Sabrina looked up and her eyes widened, "Marco? Did you lie to-" Marco ignored her and opened the cell, "Marco? What's going on?"

"Your parents are going to help and friend of ours with a trial and in exchange, we'll either send you three back to earth or find a job for you three around the castle," Marco answered and crossed his arms, "They also want you to have freedom while they're preparing for the trial…now let's go," the two undead teens turned and walked away from the cell as Sabrina ran out and hugged her parents before they turned and followed Star and Marco through the dungeons.

Standing in the library, the duo stared at Sabrina's parents as they sat at a table, a pile of books in front of them. The two adults looked back and Mike narrowed his eyes, "Do you mind? We kind of need to work,"

"We know," Marco narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, "But don't forget, until after the trial, you two are still prisoners and-"

"We know, but do you think we're going to do something stupid? There are guards wandering all around the castle," Daphne narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "So even if we wanted to do something, we'd be dead before we had the chance to…now can we have some privacy while we prepare for this case?"

Marco growled as he clinched his fangs, "Fine," Star grabbed Marco by the hand and glared at the two, "We'll be back later tonight to check on you two," leading Marco out of the library, Mike and Daphne shook their heads before they turned and continued to read the books in front of them.

Star and Marco walked down the corridor when Marco looked at Star and arched a brow, "So…do you think leaving them alone like that would be a good ide-"

"Like they said, Marco, there are guards patrolling the castle and they'd be dead before they can do anything stupid, and us staying in there will only cause problems…besides…I want to talk to this Sabrina girl before the night's out," Marco slightly smiled and nodded as they continued to walk down the corridor.

Sabrina stared up at the night sky as several creatures flew across the moon, "It's not like back on earth," she looked back and saw Star and Marco walking towards her, "Mewni isn't much different from earth, but the creatures are far from the creatures you're used to back on earth,"

"I…yes, these are strange creatures," she looked back up at the moon and frowned, "And…thanks for letting-"

"We're not doing it for you or your parents," Star hissed and Sabrina looked back, "A family member is going on trial and Marco thought your parents would be able to help. I really wished he talked to me before this, but he's simply trying to help," Star walked away from Marco and stepped closer to Sabrina, "But right now I'd like to have a word with you,"

"Wha-"

"Alone,"

Sabrina's eyes widened and Marco arched a brow, "Uh…honey? Do you think that's a good idea? You look like you're ready to-"

"I'm not going to do anything, Marco, I just want to talk to her," Star looked over her shoulder, "You don't need to worry, Marco, I'm not going to do anything to her," Marco stared at her and Star pouted, "You don't trust me?"

Marco sighed before he slightly smiled and shook his head, "No, you're right, I do trust you. But don't scare her, okay?" Star hummed and nodded, "I'll uh…I'll go grab us something to drink…who do you feel like-"

"Jackie," Marco hummed and nodded before he turned and walked away, leaving the two alone.

The undead princess looked at Sabrina and narrowed her eyes, "You…you just said you wouldn't…hurt me and-"

"I'm not going to hurt you, but you're going to explain why you turned on him that night, and don't use that it's in the past now excuse," Star pushed Sabrina up against the wall and crossed her arms as her eyes narrowed, "And don't use that kindergarten excuse either because the way my husband spoke, he always looked out for your safety," Sabrina took a deep breath and frowned as she shook her head.

Marco, with two wine glasses and the valve in hand, stood outside of the cell and narrowed his eyes, "Why she wants to drink your vial blood is beyond me," Jackie looked up before narrowing her eyes and turned her back towards him, "Give me the coldshoulder all you want, it's not going to change the fact that you're a prisoner and a blood source for me and Star,"

"And what about Sabrina and her parents? We saw you two monsters leading them out of here earlier and-"

"Sabrina's parents, in exchange for theirs and Sabrina's freedom, are helping a friend with a trial that's coming up," opening the cell, Marco stepped in and jabbed the valve into Jackie's arm, causing the skater girl to wince in pain, "And what we do with the prisoners shouldn't concern you if you're not involved. We could've taken them out into the courtyard and had them killed, and I wouldn't have to tell you about it because it doesn't involve you,"

Jackie watched as Marco filled the two glasses before closing the valve and pulling it out of her arm, "So the next time you get curious about another inmate, do yourself a favor and ignore it. It could very well be the end of you,"

Jackie watched as Marco walked out of the cell and closed the door behind him, "Wait," Marco looked over his shoulder, a cold look behind his eyes, "What if I give you something in exchange for my freedom?"

"There's nothing I would want from you," Jackie frowned before she stood up and began taking her clothes off, "I wouldn't do that if I were you," Jackie stopped and Marco shook his head, "I wouldn't dream of cheating on Star. I've told you what she is to me, and nothing will change that, so why don't you save yourself and don't try to regain your freedom, Jackie, because you, Janna, Hope, Ferguson and Alfonzo aren't getting your freedoms back. And neither are your parents or mine," he turned and walked away from the cell with a hardened look crossing his face.

Marco walked down the corridor with the two glasses of blood in hand when he saw Star walking down the corridor, her head down, "Star?" her head jolted up and she stared at him with wide eyes and a confused daze, "Are you okay? Did something happen?" he walked over to her and handed her one of the glasses, which she took and began drinking the contents, "What happened with Sabrina? You didn't kill her…did you?"

"No…we talked and I asked a few questions…she answered them and…well…let's drink up and see how her parents are doing before we visit Eclipsa," Star finished her drink before handing the empty glass over to Marco and walked past him.

Marco looked at her in confusion before looking in the opposite direction before he took a deep breath, quickly drank the glass of blood and followed Star down the corridor.

And…I've got nothing to add here. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
