still visibly shaken by what had just occurred.
    “We had better call the fire department before the fire takes out the whole block,” Jareth said. “Do you have a cell phone?”
    “No,” Symarah answered, “we left everything upstairs.” She looked up at the stranger with fear in her eyes and he felt bad for her, for them both. But then he noticed something strange; her eyes widened as she stared at his face and the look of fear turned to confusion. “Jareth?” she said in disbelief.
    “What?” Kassie said as she looked at the man who had just saved their lives and then at her friend.
    “That’s the man in my dreams, the new vampire that showed up here in Sarasota with Dane,” Symarah told her friend.
    “How do you know my name?” Jareth asked her.
    “I don’t know,” she replied, “I saw you in my dream but I never knew your name.”
    Symarah was confused, how could this be? Had they fallen asleep while they were watching movies?
    “This isn’t real,” she said, shaking her head in confusion, “I’m dreaming, I dreamt the whole thing.”
    “No,” Kassie said, “we can’t both be having the same dream.”
    “Unless you’re not real either,” Symarah said.
    She was starting to panic now. She didn’t know what to think, didn’t know what was real anymore.
    Jareth could hear the sirens from the fire trucks; someone must have seen the smoke and called 911. He couldn’t let her talk to the police or anyone else in her current state of panic, who knows what she might tell them he thought grimly. 
    “We need to leave now,” Jareth said.
    “I’m not going anywhere with you!” Symarah said in a panic, as she got up and started to run.
    “Sym wait!” Kassie yelled as she chased her friend down the street.
    Jareth put Symarah and Kassaundra into a deep sleep with a wave of his hand and flashed himself and the girls into his living room, laying them both on an oversized couch.
    “What the hell are you doing?” Daire snapped.
    “We have a serious problem,” Jareth interrupted.
    “No shit, why did you bring them here?”
    “It was my only option, she was beginning to panic.”
    “You were just supposed to watch her, what the hell happened?” Daire asked.
    “The building was engulfed in flames, they were trapped; I couldn’t just let them burn,” Jareth explained.
    “You showed them your powers, what were you thinking?” Daire scolded.
    “No,” Jareth shook his head, “I had them jump out the window and I caught them.”
    “Then why are they here, unconscious on your couch?”
    “Because your girlfriend recognized me,” Jareth answered, more than a little annoyed.
    “How does she even know who you are, she never mentioned you in her book,” Daire wondered out loud, choosing to ignore Jareth’s remark about Symarah being his girlfriend.
    “She said she saw me with you in her dream and that we had come to Sarasota.”
    “Oh this is just fucking fantastic. What’s next, she writes a book about Atlantis with a map of its exact location?”
    “I don’t think she knows about Atlantis or what we truly are; she still thinks we’re vampires,” Jareth assured Daire.
    “Still, it doesn’t bode well that she recognizes you or that she knew we came to Sarasota. Does she know why we’re here?”
    “I don’t think so, she was very confused. She thought that she had dreamed the whole incident, fire and all.”
    “It’s only a matter of time before her dreams tell her everything,” Daire said. 
    “We could alter their memories, erase all memories of the two of us,” Jareth suggested.
    “Until we figure out how to stop her from dreaming about me, and apparently you now, it won’t do any good to erase her memories.”
    “Well, we best think of something fast or we’ll have Athena to answer to.”
    “Okay, let’s take this one problem at a time shall we; did anyone else see you with them?” Daire asked.
    “No, not human anyway, but I was definitely not the only
