Chapter Three: "And now I'm just a slave like you, our lives are not our own!"

Slowly, light invaded Sarah's world. Her eyes fluttered and she moaned in pain. Carefully, she opened her eyes and blinked. Above her, a gray ceiling leered down at her, reminding her of the cold, hard floor beneath her body. Her head, however, was cushioned.

"Welcome back," said a familiar voice.

Sarah realized that the "cushion" was actually a lap. "Rei?"

"Yeah, luv, it's me," Rei said, a bit of her accent coming through.

"Your English is showing," Sarah teased.

"Yeah," Rei smiled, but it disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared. "It's because I'm nervous."

"Why?" Sarah questioned. Rei was never nervous.

"Sit up and look around…"

Sarah nodded and slowly sat up. Her eyes clenched shut in nausea and she waited for it to pass before she opened her eyes.

"Oh god…"

They were in a cell. But that's just it, there were no windows. There was a cell to the left and right of theirs. There was a cell across the narrow paths in front of and behind them. They seemed to go on for miles, in every direction. And there was more, they must have been on a main path because, from where Sarah could see, there was a second, a third, and a fourth floor. Probably more…

Rei got up and walked up to the bars. She looked around at the cells mournfully. Rei wore her heart in her eyes and anyone could see how upset she was as she looked at each woman in each cell. But she did not cry. In some cells, there were ten women, in some only four. In most of them, the women were not clothed.

Rei sighed and went to lean on the bars but jolted away from them.

"What's wrong?" Sarah asked, concerned at Rei's sudden movement.

"My back's sore," Rei said as she moved to the last occupant of the cell. Sarah crawled to where Rei was cradling an unconscious Madeline.

"Should we wake her?" Sarah asked.

Rei shook her head, "No, let her have one last dream." Rei held both of her friends in her embrace and sighed.

Sarah couldn't believe it… the case was unsolved… they would never find them. "Oh god… they've got us…"

"Darien, I just don't understand why you do this," said the older of the two.

"Because I'm good at it?" Darien joked. "Brother, you know that I have the largest slave trade in the Underground."

He glanced at his brother who still had a disapproving look on his face.

"They're just mortal…"

"Yes, but they are also people like us. They have feelings and thoughts and dreams. I doubt they appreciate what you are doing to them. Robbing them of their innocence like that-"

"Please, don't start that again. Mortals were made to serve us. They are pitiful things with no magic. And one of our needs is sexual pleasure, which I provide for the men of the Underground. I don't understand-"

"Darien, you are taking advantage of their lack of magic!" snapped the brother, his mismatched eyes flashing.

Darien brushed his fair white blond hair off his shoulder and looked at his older brother with sky blue eyes. "Please stop this… I just don't understand why you have a soft spot for mortals…"

"Because, brother, they are people like us," he sighed.

"I'll tell you what, I'll give you two mortals, to do with what you please, for two weeks of silence."

The eldest sighed, knowing he would not win this week. "Take me to them..."

"Jareth, what happened to you? You used to be so cruel, so powerful, so magnificent… now your just a big fluffy puppy. You were just going back to your original self when that mortal brought you back to this sorry state. It your "one true love" that brought you to this. I can't believe that Queen-"

"Stop," Jareth hissed, not wanting to hear the name of his lost love, his heart couldn't bare it. "I wasn't Her and it wasn't Sarah, they might have changed me but I chose to change." Jareth sighed, his mismatched eyes closed in sadness. "Just… bring me to them…" he whispered in remembered pain and defeat.

Darien, saddened by his brother's loss of will, nodded. "As you wish." And lead the way to the newest shipment.

Madeline had come to fifteen minutes ago. They had explained the situation they were in and she grasped it. All their weapons were in their handbags so they had no luck there.

"How are we going to get out of here?" Mad cried, on the edge of crying.

"I don't know… I don't know…" Sarah said.

Rei was quiet and was clearly distressed.

"We have to get out of here," Rei said.

"First of, were is here?" Mad asked, trying to keep from crying.

"Yes," Sarah said. "Where are we?"

"Why," said a new voice, "you are in my humble abode."
