Disclaimer: I do not own Labyrinth. If I did, I most likely wouldn't be
writing this. And I would be married to David Bowie right now.
Author's Note: This is my first attempt at fanfiction. Please do not wish me away, I have no desire to ever solve the Labyrinth, even though the Goblin King might make a move on me. Review please!!!! I will update as soon as possible.
Aboveground: Sarah's apartment
"It had been so long!'' Sarah said out loud to herself. "And I'm still not sure weather it was just a dream or not." How was she to tell? When she had been younger her real life was such a bore that she tended to make thing up. Even truly believe in them. She chased those thoughts away at the moment, Because the view from her 7th floor apt in New York was simply magical too think about much else. The lights just danced in the hot July night and gave the perfect illusion that this was a city where magic could happen at any time. Sarah ran her fingers through her long brown hair as she walked back into her living room. It had been 7 years since the labyrinth, Jareth and all the rest of the friends that she had met. When she had gotten back her parents had assured her that it was all just a dream, all the while wondering if she had lost her mind. She finished High School and took four years of College writing courses and was now attempting to write her first novel. Her rent-paying job was waiting tables 5 days a week and on the weekends being an editor a small local paper that didn't reach the masses. But that's ok. She knew to reach her dreams she was going to have to work hard and she was ready to do that.
Underground: Castle
Hoggle was hurt. His head ached from the battle and his heart hurt from the damage done to the castle, not to mention the labyrinth. The battle had ended but Jareth and the goblins had not won. Now he needed to get out of the castle before he was caught and taking captive. He needed to get help from someone. And he knew just the girl. But it had been seven years! Would she even remember him? He would just have to take that chance. The Underground world had little time before a powerful force took over, and enslaved the creatures that lived there. He had to reach the door he had to. As he was dodging down the halls, he heard words in the throne room. He paused at the door interested in hearing something that might help his cause. "The Castle has been secured. We control the whole thing." A thick-headed goblin with the worst case of bad teeth in the Underground told his master.
"Good." A dark voice responded. Hoggle scooted to the door a bit more to see the man with that voice but all he could see was a tall cloaked figure standing in front of the throne that earlier that day had belonged to Jareth. "The so called goblin-king thought he could just take over and run things did he? Well we showed him." He turned and smiled. Reveling what had become of Jareth.
Hoggle forced his scream back down his throat. With that sight fresh in his mind he ran out of the castle as fast as he could. Never looking back once.
Aboveground: Sarah's apartment
Walking home at 2am, at night, in New York was not fun. Every night, Sarah rushed home with thought of muggers or the "even worse scenarios" running through her mind. As she rounded the corner to her apartment she sighed a sigh of relief. Home safe one more night. As soon as her key hit the lock she knew she wasn't alone. She hovered in the door way for a moment. Then decided to face what ever was there. Making sure to flip on every light, she made her way through the rooms checking each one. Her blood flowing, ready to attack or be attacked at any moment.
After searching most of the rooms in the house she began to relax. "I'm imaging things again!" She laughed at herself. Tired and ready for bed she went to her room. Switching on the light in the last room in her apartment she found her warning someone was there was true. On he bed laid a battered little man who stuck her memory as someone who was once important.
"Hoggle!" she cried. And rushed to the side of the old friend she thought for so long just a dream
