A weeks too long

The next day found Sarah safely lead to the police station for another statement. The investigators asked plenty of repeat questions and Sarah did her best to answer them accurately. They were most interested in the apparent favoritism the strange people took in Sarah. "We will keep a few extra units in your neighborhood. There may be a chance whoever these people are come looking for you." Sarah expressed her gratitude for the reassurance of beefed security in the area and left the station. Back home Sarah kept an eye on her phone and waited for anything to be said. The enchantment had been less insistent today. Like it wasn't quite focused anymore. Sarah bubbled with worry and finally it spilled over. "Um. . . Enchantment? Are you alright?" After a moment her phone typed out "We are a little strained is all. The distance between you and Lucy leave us stretching quite a ways. It's rather taxing." Sarah was a little surprised. This enchantment had seemed so powerful she hadn't considered that distance could affect it. She stood and thought for a minute before saying. "Why don't you focus on Lucy then?" Immediately a response was typed. "We can't leave you alone while possibly in danger! You need our protection." Sarah understood the concern but she did not want to possibly lose her new friend from it overexerting itself. "Then why don't we just meet early? Give you a break and maybe help reassure us both that there's nothing to worry about." After a moment, as if the phone was thinking it responded. "Okay. We'll arrange it. Be prepared to dance tomorrow." Sarah nodded and left it at that.
