Hi never written this fandom before, just wanted to write a little one shot, hope it's ok
Sarah sank down on her bed in exhaustion her laughter died down to a contented smile as she leaned back on her pillows. Ludo, Sir Didymus is and Hoggle had been the last to leave, commenting once more on the fact that should she need them, they'd be there.
It had been great to see them she couldn't believe how much she'd missed them after only being away from them for a few minutes. It was nice to know she could still experience the magic of the labyrinth without being there.
But her smile faded as she realised there had been someone missing from the party. She got up and walked over to her window it was open still and was letting in cool refreshing night air. As she stared at the stars she was reminded of how everything in the Labyrinth sparkled as if covered in glitter.
Unfortunately that reminded of how he'd cast glitter everywhere when he appeared. She couldn't believe she was thinking about him, she'd only just escaped him, him and his terrible Labyrinth; with it's surprising twists and turns and strange funny creatures and talking doors and walls and shimmering glitter all over the floor and ...and maybe it wasn't terrible after all.
And the labyrinths ruler, the Goblin King had taken her brother, drugged her with a peach which trapped her in a ballroom and a junkyard, sent the cleaners after her, nearly dropped her in the bog of eternal stench and sent his goblin army after her. He'd been a perfect villain, her perfect villain.
I have turned the world upside down and I have done it all for you.
He really had done everything she asked, she asked for Toby to be taken and he took him. She had wanted the chance to explore a different world and he presented her with a labyrinth unlike anything she'd ever seen. She had wanted the chance to prove herself and he made her into the heroin of her very own fairy tale, she'd pretended to be one often enough in the park, all that she had needed was a villain.
But she still needed him. She needed his magic so she could share in wonder. She needed his mocking smile and cruel words so that she could mock him and fire her own words back . There banter had been fun, she was able to let out her frustrations knowing that he would take it because it was part of the roles they played.
He'd offered her dreams and it had been so tempting, he'd made everything so tempting. Turning away from the window she cast her eyes around her room, she'd already started removing some of her trinkets just those she knew she was too old for. The labyrinth had helped her grow up, he'd made her grow up.
But she still needed her friends, still needed him, foe no reason at all. She sat down at her desk and picked up the small red book that she hadn't been able to put away. The pages were well worn and the spine freaked as she opened it.
You have no power over me.
She'd never been able to remember that line, perhaps because it had never seemed true until she'd travelled his labyrinth.
He'd manipulated passages, sent fireys and Goblins and fairy after her all to stop her from succeeding. He'd had the power to turn the world upside and reorder time. But he couldn't do anything to her, he never did anything physically to her because he had no power over her. Everything that had happened, happened because of her wish.
But what no one knew was the king of the Goblins had fallen in love with the girl and he'd given her certain powers.
I wonder if my powers still work. They'd helped to bring her Ludo, Hoggle and Sir Didymus but what about him.
She put her book back down and looked up into her mirror.
"I wish the Goblin King would come to see me right now."
