Wow, we had no idea so many people were going to like this story so much!
It had been about a week since Sarah had arrived in her new 'home' and she was surprised about how much better everything was now. She didn't have nearly as much trouble sleeping now, even though it was still kind of tough.
Every day during dinner, Sarah, and sometimes Gerard, would sneak out of the dining hall so that she could get a shower. She was starting to get into the daily routine.
But this morning Sarah had been awoken by Gerard's face extremely early, but not so early that the sun was still down.
"Why are you waking me up so early?" Sarah asked putting her pillow over her head.
"Because I need to ask you something." Gerard said taking the pillow from her.
"Shoot." Sarah said covering her eyes.
"My sister is coming in today for a visit, is there anything you want her to get you?" Gerard asked.
"No, not really." Sarah replied.
"Nothing? Not anything?" Gerard asked.
"Well, before I came here, I used to love to read." Sarah told him.
"So you want a book? She can manage that." Gerard said nodding.
"Are you sure? I don't want her to go out of her way, you know?" Sarah said.
"It's fine. My sister has 'connections.' She can get anything she wants." Gerard told her.
"Okay then, a book would be great." Sarah said. "Can I have my pillow back now?" Gerard laughed and hit her in the face with it. "Thanks." Came her muffled reply.
-----With Gerard and his sister-----
"Gerard," Hailey said, "I can't stand seeing you like this anymore. You don't deserve to be punished for protecting your family."
"I know, Hail, but I don't regret killing him, not even for a second." Gerard said to his younger sister. "How are the plans coming?"
"I have some people coming to pick you up outside the gates and drop you off into the woods that has the shortcut to Marcie, but I can't find anyone to hide you in their home," Hailey paused, "so I'm going to do it."
"Hailey, no! I'm not going to let you do that." Gerard said crossing his hands over his chest.
"Ger, come on! You deserve to get out of here and I promised Mom on her deathbed that I would make sure you got out!" Hailey said pleading with her brother.
"No, absolutely not! I don't want to see you being stuck in here! If he finds me hiding in your home, then he will throw you in the dungeons without a second thought. There's already a girl down there that I have to watch every moment around those, people, because she fears for her life every day! I won't let you risk that happening to you!" Gerard said, his over protective attitude showing.
"Oh, my god! He put a girl in there with all of those murderers and moss heads!" Hailey said outraged.
"Yeah, luckily he stuck her in my cell so she's at least as safe as she's going to get." Gerard said. "I wish I could get her out of here, and Ivan, too."
"You can." Hailey said taking her brother's hand. "Let me help you and you can save two other lives!" Hailey saw her brother thinking about this for a few moments. "Gerard, even if I found someone else to hide you for a few days, they wouldn't hide anyone else! Think about it, without you, that girl will probably get raped and killed. What's her name?"
"Sarah."
"Would you be able to forgive yourself if just because you didn't let me do what I promised to do, Sarah was killed?" Hailey asked.
"No."
"Exactly, now, your going to go back to your cell, tell Sarah the plan, at dinner you will tell Ivan about the plan. God knows how close Ivan and me are by now, every time I come here, I have something for him. Oh, that reminds me!" Hailey took a small leather bag out of the pocket of her dress and gave it Gerard. "It's a really rare coin, thought he would like it." Gerard laughed. "Do you want anything for the next time I'm here?"
"Actually yes, can you pick up a good book and some yarn?" Gerard asked.
"Of course!" Hailey said with a warm, sisterly smile.
"You know I really don't want you to do this." Gerard said with a worried expression on his face.
"I know, but I want to do it. Think about it, in a few days, you'll be out of here." Hailey said with a smile.
Gerard smiled at the thought of freedom. "Then in another 2 weeks or so, I'll be in Crowley, hopefully working as a jeweler or a blacksmith or something."
"And Sarah and Ivan will be there with you, and all because you let me help." Hailey said, her smile growing. "All I have to say is thank whatever higher power is out there that criminal records don't go to Crowley!"
"TIMES UP!" A guard said coming over and taking Gerard by the arms harshly and pulling him from the chair. Another then came and took Hailey by the arm gently and lead her out the door.
Hailey and Gerard gave each other one last glance before both were out of sight.
---Switch to Jareth---
"Your Majesty." A guard called from Jareth's study doors.
"Yes?" He answered.
"She's doing better, a lot better." He said.
"Good. She received some mail today." Jareth said handing the guard a medium sized box. What he didn't tell the guard was that this gift was actually from him. "Give it to her." The guard nodded and Jareth gave him a look like 'what the fuck?'
"Oh you mean now?" The guard said.
"Yes." Jareth said and the guard ran.
Jareth's bi-polar side was showing its ugly head again.
'What are you doing giving her a gift?'
'Maybe she will finally be mine.'
'WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU AND YOU DON'T WANT HER!'
'Shut up and go back to where you belong.'
'SHE'S NOTHING BUT A DUNGEON SLUT!'
With this Jareth smacked himself in the head and the voice was gone.
---With Sarah---
"YOU! GIRL! YOU HAVE MAIL!" The guard yelled from Sarah's cell door. He threw the box at her and left.
Sarah looked confused and then opened the box.
There was a small card and Sarah opened it and read it.
Sarah,
I hope this will occupy your time.
King Jareth
Sarah opened the box and was surprised to see her Ipod and small speakers from home in the box.
"Holy shit." She whispered to herself. She looked up the artists and almost died when she saw that all her favorites were on it.
She plugged it into the speakers, which worked somehow, and played 'All That I've Got' by The Used. (What a great fucking song!)
She sand along to the words.

Just as the song ended Gerard entered the cell.
"What the hell is that?" He asked.
"This, my buddy, is an Ipod. It's playing music. That song was by one of my favorite bands called The Used." Sarah told him.
"I liked it." Gerard said messing around with the Ipod. The next thing Sarah knew Fall Out Boy's 'Grand Theft Autumn' was playing.
"What is that?" They heard Ivan yell from the next cell.
"Music!" Sarah called back.
Soon it was time for them to do their daily jobs. Gerard and Sarah were the lucky ones that got to clean the royal area of the castle.
"Sarah. I need to talk to you." Gerard said while they were cleaning a bathroom.
"Go ahead." Sarah answered.
"Well, there's really no easy way to say this so, we're breaking out of here." Gerard said.
"Who's we?" Sarah asked.
"You, me, and Ivan."
"Gerard, I don't know. I mean, if we leave, their going to track us down like animals."
"We're going to go to Crowley, after we cross the border from the Goblin Kingdom into Crowley, they can't do anything." Gerard explained. Gerard grabbed Sarah's hand. "Look, I'm not leaving you here, and I'm not staying here. You're coming with me weather you like it or not."
Sarah looked down at her hand in Gerard and then up to Gerard's eyes. She suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach. She had only felt this way for one other person in her entire life.
Gerard was feeling the same thing. He began to lean in and just before their lips met, he whispered, "Please." Gerard crashed his lips onto Sarah's.
They sat in shock for a few moments, and then began to massage the others lips with their own.
Gerard forced his tongue in her mouth and she welcomed it.
They kissed for about 10 minutes before they both pulled away gasping for breath.
"I'll take that as a yes then?" Gerard said smiling.
"Yeah." Sarah said laughing.
