Hi all! Well we are all probably wondering, "What on earth is she doing in the Labyrinth Fanfictions?" Well, I watched the movie for the first time in a while, and suddenly, Inspiration struck! Plus I mean, The Goblin King is enough to inspire anyone! mmm sexy! ^-^ So I have most of the idea for this story but it need some refining and acctually writing. I absolutley promise I will jot give up on this fic! Ok here we go
Disclaimer: If I owned it then it would have ended differently. mmm Jareth!
The babies crying was unbearable. Mia sighed as she walked into her little brothers' room. He mother was out at a rehearsal and had left Mia to babysit again. It wasn't fair, hadn't her mother so often told her how often she had had to
babysit her little brother?
"Oh shut it Liam" She said to the baby, not really caring that he couldn't understand her anyway. She was 13 years old, shouldn't she be allowed to hang out with her friends and go on dates on Saturday's? But no, her mother had to go
to rehearsal every Saturday night. And Liam still wouldn't stop crying. Suddenly, Mia remembered an old story her mother told her.
"Liam, if you don't stop crying this instant, then I will call the goblins to take you away! She said to the little boy.

There was a collective hush in the throne room. They had heard their name and wanted to see if this little girl would actually wish away her brother.
"Your Majesty!" A goblin cried, "A child will probably be wished away soon! The first in a year!"
The King stopped tapping his crop and looked at the goblin bowed at his feet. 'Well' he thought, this would prove to be a welcome distraction from his brooding.

Liam still hadn't stopped his crying.
"ARGH! THAT'S IT! I WISH THE GOBLINS WOULD TAKE YOU AWAY RIGHT NOW!" Lightning flashed and there was a roll of thunder. The lights flickered and went out. When they came back on, Liam was gone and a man with crazy blonde
hair, mismatched eyes and tight pants was standing in front of her.
"You…You're the Goblin King aren't you?" Mia asked nervously. The man smiled showing his sharp teeth and gave a nod.
"I…I didn't mean it. Please give my brother back. I thought that it was all just a story that my mother made up to make me behave. I never wanted him gone"
"What's said is said my dear" He said as if what she was saying had no real meaning to him.
"I offer you your dreams if you just take this crystal." He said pulling a crystal from thin air.
"No." Mia said stoutly. "I need my brother back"
"Very well" The King sighed and continued. "You may have 13 hours to best my labyrinth and get to my castle before your baby brother becomes one of us forever." As soon as he finished speaking, the front door opened and she heard
her mother call out
"Mia! I'm home" Mia looked from the door to the castle and back to the door where her mother's footsteps where getting closer.
"Decide quickly child, you will not be offered a second chance at this" the King said blandly. Mia glared at him.
"Does this mean anything to you?" She asked quizzically. He snorted in derision.
"Not much has meant anything to me in 17 years, so your pathetic problems, no they don't matter at all" The words had barely escaped his mouth when the door opened to reveal her mother standing in the doorway.
"MOM! Uhhh…This isn't what it looks like I swear…" Mia trailed off when she saw her mother wasn't paying any attention to her, merely staring at the Goblin King. Confused Mia looked at the Goblin King only to see a look of utter
heartbreak on his face.
"Sarah" He whispered.
