If you want to look, on my Deviantart account is a picture of Sarah~
A wish is a wish: Stay
„Soooooo... Mind to explain what exactly happened?" Sarah asks the three males with a blank face.
…
„You know..." Mu-Young eyes it cautious „...the more often I look at your pet, the more creeped out I get"
She holds her black weasel closer to herself „He's not creepy! And that's not what I asked!"
/It has a creepy name as well.../ Mu-Young comments in his head „Sorry, sorry" The tall male apologizes „But to think you're a Chachaoong as well..."
Sarah gets angry „I didn't know you're one either! Now answer the god darn question!"
Everything is alright. I'm alright.
„Okay, okay" Mu-Young says.

Sarah has her hands on her ears. As soon as it looks like Jin finishes with his arguments she removes them. She then proceeds to go to school while happily chatting with Jin.
Stop. Just stop.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„Are you sure that you'll be alright?" Jin asks his friend concerned.
Sarah shakes her head „It's alright. But I will come over to you later"
The two seperate, Jin still stays in school a bit and Sarah goes to her house. On the middle of the way she receives a phone call.
„Yes?" She answeres it.
„Sorry for the sudden call" Mu-Young apologizes from the other end.
„It's okay, what's up?" She wonders.
„If it isn't a bother, could you come over to my house? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to Chachaoongs so I wanted to talk to you about it. You might know more"
She frowns „I'll come but I seriously doubt I can tell you anything new"
She changes direction to his house and arrives there a bit later. Mu-Young is sitting at a table with a blonde boy.
Mu-Young notices her „You're here already? Take a seat"
She sits down „Thanks"
Maru attempts to whisper to Mu-Young „Who's that nuna?"
/I can hear you perfectly.../ Sarah thinks to herself.
It's because I'm a Chachaoong.
„Someone you won't bother if you value your life" Mu-Young warns his subordinate.
„So-" Sarah cuts in „What do you want to know, though I doubt I can tell anything new"
„How exactly does this succession thing work?" He questions.
„The... the succession?" Sarah wonders confused and Mu-Young nods „That's not so easy~" She admits slumped back in the chair with an uncertain look „It's about the birth of the next generation of us. The next one cannot be born while Jack is King, he manages with force but he can't do that forever, another King is needed"
„Then why Jin?" Mu-Young asks.
/Why Jin was chosen? I don't know, but it might have to do with who he really is/ Her eyes are shadowed and she grits her teeth „How am I supposed to know? Rather than knowing why Jin was chosen I'd like to know why Jack leaves that bastard alive!"
„What?" Mu-Young wonders surprised.
Sarah smiles slightly with closed eyes „Nothing, forget it. Anything else?"
„Well, about Yi-Mae" Mu-Young tells her „I already asked Maru but maybe you know more"
„Yi-Mae?" She bites her lip „He isn't the same person anymore. He was different before he vanished but talking about what is no more will do us no good"
You're always by my side when I feel like I need someone.

Sarah listens to her friends chatter when Jin suddenly leaves. She dashes after him and they stop in some alleyway.
„Why did you run all of a sudden?" She asks him.
Jin looks around „I felt something so I ran away from the main street"
„Idiot" She bonks him on the head „You should have run to a lot of people, no Chachaoong would attack you then... unless they want to involve humans and deal with Chuh-Yong as an aftermath"
„That's right!" Jin exclaims shocked.
„Come, let's go back" She grabs his upper arm and pulls him with her.
„So you're the next King and his little friend...?" A voice behind them says.
Someone,... please save me
Sarah pulls Jin behind her and glares at Baek-Jeong.
„I'm Baek-Jeong Tal" Baek-Jeong announces then tilts his head „But I'm really curious, why did Jack choose someone like you to be the next?"
„How am I supposed to know?" Jin asks him „If anything, I'm the one who wants to know more!"
„This isn't the time to play dumb..." Baek-Jeong warns, readying his sword.
He charges at them but his sword is blocked by the staff of a halberd.
„Interesting choice of weapon" He notes „You don't see Chachaoongs swinging a halberd often"
He swings once more and Sarah deflects his attack. After exchanging a few blows, they both stop frozen in the position of Baek-Jeong trying to press his sword further down and Sarah blocking it with her weapons staff.
It's dangerous!
Sarah grits her teeth, she adds more force and pushes her opponent away, his Tal falling from his face „What reason do you have to attack us? You don't seem like the type who would care about who becomes King"
„It's true that I don't care about it but it seemed like fun so I forgave these idiots for making do everything" Baek-Jeong explains.
…
A dark aura forms around her „So that's whyhe isn't here yet" She chuckles darkly and faces Baek-Jeong „You were tricked. They went to distract Yi-Mae if I'm right"
Baek-Jeong freezes „Yi-Mae...?" he questions uncertain.
„Yup. The one and only, he protects Jin but didn't come so I was wondering... Hahaha" She laughs rather darkly „So this is why he didn't come... Too much of a coincidence, huh? That you come right then when Yi-Mae is away..."
Baek-Jeong narrows his eyes „I can't really believe you. Nobody knows whether he's alive or dead right now..."
…
„Okay" Sarah deadpans.
„Don't agree so nonchalanty!" Baek-Jeong yells startled „Tch! Whatever..."
Baek-Jeong swings his sword again, Sarah positions her weapon and Baek-Jeong's sword is stopped. However, not through Sarah.
„You're still the same as ever, Eun-Yul" Jin comments with unusual eyes while gripping the Tals sword tightly.
„What?" Baek-Jeong replies confused „How do you know my real name? I never met you before and I didn't tell you either"
I'm sorry that I can't stay any longer...
Watching the exchange, Sarah grits her teeth in frustration. Something grabs hold of Baek-Jeong and holds him down.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
„You're not going to stay?" Jin asks, holding Sarah's arm.
She avoids his pleading eyes „I won't. Sorry, Jin" She turns to Mu-Young „Watch over him for me"
Why do you-... No, nevermind
„Of course I will do that" The Yongma user tells her.
„I will come back tomorrow" She promises and waves goodbye, leaving two Tals and Mu-Young with Jin.

Sarah lies in her bed, clutching her pillow as tightly as she can. With a jolt she wakes up and breathes out reliefed.
„A dream... it was only a dream..." She casts half-lided eyes down „It was only a dream... again"
Stay with me!
