Sarah was bored. Not just your average, every day type of bored, she was really bored. Her super over protective cousins hadn't let her go out patrolling for almost two weeks now. They were too afraid that Rovil would kidnap her again, and she wouldn't get away as easily as last time. To ensure that she wouldn't sneak out after they went to sleep, they had cast a forcefield spell around her room in the basement after she went to bed each night, she couldn't go out of her room until the spell was lifted in the morning. Not only was Sarah bored, she was getting anxious, and fidgety. Willow and Tara were no help either, they couldn't convince the Charmed Ones to let her go out, so, instead, they went hunting Rovil instead. Hoping that they could kill him, and Sarah's imposed house arrest would come to an end.
School passed like a blur each day, as it was the only reprive that Sarah had from her neurotic cousins trying to 'protect' her. She was coming to enjoy school, even if she didn't have any friends, it was a way to pass time. Willow had procured herself a job at the highschool, teaching computer science. After school let out, Sarah headed to her classroom. They had been meeting like this, trying to figure out a way to get Sarah out of house arrest. "Anything yet?" Sarah called to her watcher as she threw her bag onto a desk, and plopped down in a chair.
"Actually, yes, two things. One of which you probably won't like much, the council could pull some strings, and get your guardianship transferred to me instead." Willow replied, looking up briefly from her computer monitor. "And, Tara and I have been working on a translocator beacon for you to wear. So, after the forcefield is activated, Tara could orb through, and get you out of your room." She paused, "Only thing is, the translocator beacon has a very small chance of working properly without killing you both."
"Well, let's not do that one. I really don't want to die any time soon." Sarah looked pensive, "But, about your first idea, could the council really do that? Get my guardianship transferred over to you, without ruining their reputations or anything?"
Willow looked down at her young charge. "Yes, their power is vast, and they have their fingers in almost everything. You say the word, and I'll get it done."
"You have the word. I'm sick and tired of being locked up like an animal every night. That's not something you do to family." Sarah had a determined, but sad look on her face.
Willow was silent as she typed something into her computer. Just a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. "Is this Ms. Rosenburg's classroom?" A delivery man with a clip board asked.
"Yes, I'm Ms. Rosenburg." Willow replied.
"Sign here please?" He extended his clipboard, Willow scribbled a signiture, and was handed a packet of papers. "Thank you ma'am, and have a good day."
"What was that all about?" Sarah asked, as curious as ever.
"Your guardianship papers, I've been given custody." Willow replied.
"That fast?" Sarah was stunned.
"I actually started the paperwork yesterday, I knew what you would say. Your cousins' have been notified of this development, we should probably go get your things and take them to my apartment." Willow stood, grabbing her bag and heading to the door. Sarah followed.
