Don't ask; for god's sake don't ask. I have no idea where this one came

Chapter One
Sarah and Jennifer giggled like two lunatics in the mental ward. Jennifer had just broken up with her scumbag of a boyfriend and tonight was a celebration. Neither girl could hold their liquor, so after downing a half a bottle of booze both of them were finding the dumbest things funny.
"You remember that game we used to...hiccup...play it as kids? You tell me to do somethin' silly, but if I didn't wanna, I'd...hiccup...have to tell you a secret." Jennifer asked. The liquor making her words slurred together. Sarah laughed and took another swig from the bottle.
"Yeah, Truth or dare. Hah, I forgot all about that game. Let's play. Truth of dare?"
"Dare." Jennifer replied.
"Ok, go over to the window and flash the first guy you see on the parking lot." Sarah dared. They lived on the third story of a dorm room, and it was 2:30 in the morning, so the likelihood of anyone seeing her wasn't great.
Like a girl on a top-secret mission for the pentagon, or Girls gone wild. Jennifer walked over to the window and pulled open her blouse. On the floor, Sarah was laughing so hard her sides began to burn. From the parking lot, a group of young men wolf whistled and hollered.
"I can't believe I just did that." Jennifer said, closing her shirt and sitting down with Sarah again. "Okay your turn. Truth or Dare?"
"Truth."
"When you were a teenager, you used to go crazy telling people about your imaginary friends, and then go on about the Goblin King and his Labyrinth. Did you really believe all that, or were you just trying to get attention?" Jennifer asked.
If not for the booze, Sarah would have been extremely offended. But she just laughed and said. "Yes I do believe in them. I wish you could meet my friends too. There great. Now you. Truth or Dare?"
Sarah barley got out the words. A gust of wind tore through the small dorm room. The lights went out. This had happened to her once before, years ago in her little brother's nursery. A large barn owl flew in the room. Sarah held her breath.
Magically before their eyes the tall, elegant Goblin King appeared. He inclined his head toward Jennifer and then toward Sarah.
"What are you doing here?" Sarah hissed.
"Tsk, tsk, so impatient Sarah. Haven't you learned by now to be careful for what you wish for?" Jereth asked in the cocky tone he had always used with her.
"Sarah..." Jennifer clutched onto her friends arm.
"It's okay Jen, don't worry." She soothed, then back to Jereth, "Get out."
"I'm sorry Sarah, I cannot. Not until I have given you your wish." He snapped his gloved fingers and Jennifer disappeared. Sarah glared at him.
"Bring her back." She demanded. Jereth smiled.
"No my dear. You know the rules of the game. The only way to get your friend back is to run my labyrinth." He waved his hand and the labyrinth appered behind him. "You have thirteen hour, or your little friend becomes mine forever, ever, ever ever." With that he was gone, but his words remained.
Anger bubbled up inside her, but Sarah knew being angry would not help Jennifer. She shook off the effects of the booze and looked down at her slippered feet. Last time she had shoes, and it was still hard, this was going to be torture.
"Come on feet." She said. The fussy bunnies looked up at her with their plastic eyes as if to say are you nuts.
She started her long journey to the center of the labyrinth.
Okay, okay I know it's short, please don't kill me, but it's only the beginning I promise it'll get better. I'm working on it.
