Disclaimer: I don't own it...such a pity.
"Who are thee?" Sir Didymus asked after he pounced onto Sarah's stomach, "What hast thou done with Lady Sarah?" a sword was now being pressed against Sarah's neck.
"Didymus, I AM SARAH!" She said as she struggled with her bonds.
"What a lie!"
"No lie," Sarah said. She was feeling sick to her stomach. If going in and out of consciousness wasn't bad enough, imagine doing it with a little dog jumping around on your chest.
"I am telling the truth!" Sarah said, "If I were evil why would I appeal to Hoggle for help?"
"It could be part of your plan…gain our trust and then POUNCE!" Didymus jumped hard on her stomach, "You could have us in an oubliette before nightfall. Besides Sarah was with Jareth for dinner at the time Hoggle summoned Brother Ludo and me."
"That was not me! That was Lady Cassandra!"
"Lady Cassandra is dead…wait how do you know about Lady Cassandra?"
"I was there at the meeting you idiot! She is not dead. She is alive and after Jareth's power."
"How are we to know that you are not Lady Cassandra, my Lady?" he said staring her in the eyes.
Sarah thought for a second. She would have to make this fast for she was loosing her strength, "Your steed's name is Ambrosias."
"You could have heard me call for him once," he dismissed.
"You claim Ludo as your brother."
"I just called him brother Ludo, did I not? Really child you try my patients. I shall give you one more chance to prove yourself!"
"How about this Sir Didymus…you sense of smell is keen."
Didymus looked down at Sarah with new gentler eyes, "My lady is that really you?"
"Yes of coarse it's me! Now will you get off and untie me? I feel ill."
"Of course Lady Sarah, of course." Sir Didymus cut through the ropes and climbed down.
"Where is Hoggle?" Sarah asked while rubbing her wrists, "I have something important to tell him about his sister."
"He has gone to locate Jareth," he said while finishing cutting the ropes on her legs, "Is there anything I can get you?"
Sarah was about to say something but held back. She did not know how well Cassandra's tracker worked. Also she could fell Cassandra taking over again.
"Didymus I must tell you something. Do not interrupt me I only have a short time before I pass out. Lady Cassandra is alive. She has been living here all this time pretending to be Adele. She plans on taking over my life in order to get Jareth's power. The ring on her finger is mine. She put a spell on it. When she wears it she takes on my features. She is slowly draining me of my life," as Cassandra was getting stronger Sarah's voice was getting weaker, "Tell Jareth please," Sarah could hardly move.
The door to Hoggle's hut then flew open, "No worries love you just did," Jareth said.
Jareth stepped passed Sir Didymus and knelt at Sarah's side. He looked her straight in the eyes with such a powerful gaze it made Sarah shiver. Her eyes were all the identification he needed.
The last thing Sarah remembered was Jareth hoisting her up into his arms and whispering, "It's alright Sarah. I've got you now. You are safe."
A/N: Finally I updated! Seeing as how obsessor-of-inuyasha's life was on the line...how could I not? Also the idea of torturing Cassandra by making her watch barney movies made me laugh for a good 5 mins. Oh and I must also appologize for I did not know I was breaking any law set forth by the Geneva Convention when I threw in that cliff hanger. Sorry. All of your reviews amuse me to no end. I really do love the fact that you can all agree on one thing...Cassandra is a wench! That is great! It makes me so happy to hear you alllike this story. So thanks! I hope to post again soon...
