Chapter 9 Sarah bolted upright from her sleeping position gasping for breath. What was that? What ever it was I don't want to stay here anymore Sarah thought. She quickly turned to her side and shook Hoggle. "Hoggle, wake up. Hoggle!" she shook him more forcefully. "Hmm…ninety-six…" Hoggle mumbled as he turned onto his side away from Sarah. "Hog-gle!" Sarah exclaimed as she stood up and grabbed him, lifting him into a sitting position by his shirt. "Wake up or I'll drop you into the Bog!" "I'm up! I'm up! Jeez Sarah, you don't have to threaten me" he groused. "You wouldn't wake up. You sleep like a drunken goblin." "I

 Sarah stared at him in shock. Gone was the black pants and black shirt. Instead he wore a more normal attire, at least normal for him. Form fitting grey pants rose from the tops of his black boots. His shirt was once more a white poets shirt but a black vest was worn over it showing his slim build. His pendant gleamed in a light that shouldn't be possible with the thick fog. It wasn't a big difference and was rather tame for him but it was still shocking to see. Even his hair was back to defying gravity. Sarah idly wondered how long it took him to fix his hair each day. Of course when you could re-order time it didn't matter so much. Sar

Chapter 7 Not sure of what she was getting into, Sarah came to an abrupt halt two steps through the doorway, almost tripping herself at her sudden stop. Gazing around herself with wide, surprised eyes Sarah was amazed to find not a dark forest or a damp swamp or even a barren plain but instead a beautiful lake that glimmered in the sunshine. Ringing the lake were tall willow trees that draped their branches down to touch the water and provide shade to sit under. Two waterfalls at the far end created a striking and puzzling scene with one waterfall going down and the other going up and neither waterfall supported by anything. Where normally

Chapter 6 After saying their goodbyes to the worm and giving him their thanks, Sarah and Hoggle set off in their search for someone with knowledge of what happened to Jareth. Walking and eating wasn't the way Sarah would have chosen to start her day but at least the food was still warm and it was edible even if she didn't know what it was. Hoggle had woke up early to fix their breakfast and put it in pouches so they could walk and eat without having to juggle their food around. It had surprised her that Hoggle knew how to cook but thinking about it, she should have known he had some cooking skill. He did live alone as far as she knew and

Whirling around in fright, Sarah was surprised by the unthreatening scene before her. Where she expected to see a dark shadowy figure looming over her, instead stood the Goblin King in all his glory. Make that his former glory. His hair that once crowned his head in an untamable  halo now hung rather limp. The ever present smirk had disappeared to an unknown location and his seemingly different colored eyes had lost their sparking challenging look that was preset whenever he confronted Sarah. Now his face was emotionless and his eyes dull in their disinterest. His wardrobe was also missing it's usual flare. Instead of browns or

Chapter 4 Her tired mind finally catching up to where they were going, a puzzled Sarah looked at her short friend.. “Hoggle, I thought you didn’t have any friends besides Ludo and Didymus.” “That was before I met you, Sarah. It’s rather lonely being a dwarf in the Goblin Kingdom. As lonely as being a handicapped dwarf in the Dwarf Kingdom.” “You’re not handicapped! You’re just fine,” interrupted Sarah. “Huh! You’ve never seen anything I’ve tried to make. Anyway, as I was saying  before someone interrupted me, it was lonely. Til I met you. You were the first f

Chapter 3 Sarah opened her eyes to a world of browns and tans. Dirt crunched under her feet as she turned in a circle to take in her new surroundings. The light brown dirt stretched out, broken only by dead looking grass and shrubs here and there, until it was interrupted by a large, vine covered wall. A small pond, covered with a thin layer of algae, lay a few feet from the wall. A grin broke across Sarah’s face as she looked at the pond. She could still picture Hoggle standing there with his back to her as he took care of some business. She remembered his embarrassed response when she interrupted him. “Excuse me,” a you

Chapter 2 Sarah sighed as she bent and tried to unlock her apartment door without spilling either of the bags of groceries she held in both arms. Giving the key a quick jerk that spilled nearly a third the groceries out of the bag in her right hand, she pushed open the door with a frustrated huff and dropped the bags with a heavy thump on her small kitchen table. Rubbing her temples to try to prevent the headache she had felt trying to form all day, she glared at the offending groceries that now littered the doorway and hall in front of her apartment. Why did I ever look forward to living alone when I was younger? Back then I didn’t

 The owl watched through the window as the girl and the strange assortment of creatures around her held a celebration in honor of her unraveling the labyrinth and defeating it’s feared master. The dwarf, the yeti, the fox and it’s long-haired steed were there along with the those no style fireys and his own goblins. Even two little blue worms were there. But he wasn’t invited. Apparently she would need all of them at times during her life but he was un-needed and unwanted. Really! Who was the one who granted her wish? Who was the one who shared one of her dreams with her? Who even tried to help her out of the labyrinth!? Does
