mine. Enjoy!
*Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way here. To the castle beyond the Goblin City To take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours. And my kingdom as great.*
An old red leather book, white medieval gown, rain and a wet dog.
*I wish the goblins would come and take you away..right now!*
Furry disgusting creatures
*You're him, aren't you? You're the Goblin King.*
A tall, imposing handsome man.
*You have 13 hours in which to solve the Labyrinth before your baby brother becomes one of us...forever...Such a pity.*
A clock spinning..thirteen hours
*How are you enjoying my labyrinth? It's a piece of cake.*
Changed lipstick moved and holes that led to oubliettes.
*That's not fair! You say that so often.I wonder what your basis for comparison is. The Labyrinth's a piece of cake? Let's see you deal with this slice.*
A wheeling cart of spinning blades and metal.
*I have reordered time. I have turned the world upside-down and I have done it all for you. I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me.*
A dark space with a broken labyrinth.
*Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great.*
Concentration, words.
*Look what I'm offering you.your dreams. I ask for so little. Just let me rule you and you can have everything you want.*
Ballroom, crystal white gown, dancing, masks..
*Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave. *
Crystals, peaches, supple leather gloves, spiky blond hair.
*You have no power over me! *
Sarah Williams sat up quickly, her breath erratic. She looked around, expecting to see an owl flying above her head. She slowed her breathing, noticing that her bedroom was no different from when she went to bed. She shook her head.
"Sarah Analise! Control yourself. They were just childless dreams, provoked by your guilt of being angry at Toby. Stop it!" she reprimanded herself to the open air of her bedroom. She flung back the covers and went to her dresser for a new set of nightclothes, as hers were soaked with sweat. She glanced at the clock and saw it was six. Groaning, she reached for a towel instead of new clothes. Hurrying into the bathroom, Sarah showered. She was quick about it and finished in ten minutes. The twenty-five year old actress dressed quickly, throwing a pair of flare jeans and a soft peach angora sweater on. She quickly applied make-up and braided her hair. She grabbed her bag and hustled out of her apartment and to her Honda Civic. She began her three-hour drive to New York City for her rehearsal call.
Sarah watched the road slip by her as she listened to the radio. She pulled out her CDs and slipped in RENT. The track clicked and Sarah expected the words, "December 24th, nine pm" to blast out instead a soothing voice crooned:
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart
Sarah's eyes widened and she quickly flipped the song. She was horrified to hear:
How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Sarah, trying to control the car with her shaking hands, slapped at the CD player. Finally, it stopped. Sarah steered the car to the rest stop that was ahead. She turned the car off and slipped her head into her hands. His voice rang in her head.
"How did that get onto my RENT CD?" asked Sarah. She knew now was as good as time as any to relive that time she thought was a dream. She quickly dug into her bag for her cigarettes and gasped. Jerking her hand back as if burned, she sent the red leather book flying. She peered over at it and cautiously picked it up.
"I haven't seen this in five years," she whispered, fingering the gold lettering that spelled The Labyrinth on the front. She opened it and skimmed through. She got to the end with the confrontation with the Goblin King and the words slipped through her lips.
"Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City. For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great," she recited. "You have no power over me." Suddenly, a face came into her head, a face with mismatched eyes and blond hair and an infuriating smirk of nobility.
"The Goblin King," she whispered. Was it just a dream? Was it real? She looked at the pages of the book. Only one way to find out. She closed her eyes. "I wish the goblins would come and take me away. Right now."
