Thanks for your reviews! I've changed this chapter a bit, just corrected some errors with the help of my sister..
Disclaimer: I don't own Jareth, or any other character of the Labyrinth ;-)
Thunder and rain began to be normal in the Underground, it had been ages since the sun was seen, today was no exception. Lightning struck through the kingdom and no goblin dared to walk outside. It was even an adventure to get something like food. Goblins were often hit by lightning, and all that was left was a pile of ash.
Once the castle was glorious, but now looks dangerous and dark. The inside was even worse. The torches burned low, and everything was dirty and grey.
Jareth was sitting on his throne, barely hanging on, he was excausted and empty. He didn't have the energy to feed his Labyrinth and it's inhabitants any longer. It was because of his foolish act a few years ago, and stupid pride that he became like this. Now even his pride was going to leave him. The goblins of the Labyrinth feared for the future, if they even had one.
''Yer Majesty, shouldn't we contact Sarah and explain the situation to her? She would understand and.."
Jareth stood up, angry that Hoggle even thought about that ridiculous idea. He was the Goblin King for God's sake, not some sick babe!
"And what Higgle? Have pity on me? I would rather die than ask her a favour! I won't let that girl see me like this! And don't you even dare to contact her, if I find out you ...Aaarrgghh!" Jareth grabbed his head as a splitting headache came through. He hissed as he collapsed on the throne and fainted.
"Yer Majesty!...Jareth!" With some hesitation and fear Hoggle took a few steps forewards and shook him, first gently, then hard, but nothing happened. Jareth's eyes were closed, and his breathing began to slow down.
Goblins ran in panic, bumping up against each other, not knowing what to do with the King.
"Everybody listen!" Hoggle tried to calm them down but nobody listened and goblins were screaming and shouting everywhere. "Shut up and listen!" Hoggle shouted and the room went silent again, goblins looking up to Hoggle. "Uhh.. You guys!" He pointed to a small group, "Take His Majesty to his room! I will find an answer to this problem!"
The group of goblins looked at each other and then went to the throne to drag the King on the floor to his room.
The fact that Jareth didn't woke up worried Hoggle very, very much.
Hoggle, Sir Didymus, Ambrosius and Ludo gathered for a meeting at Hoggle's home.
"I'm glad we're all still in one piece, it's almost impossible to get out these times, with the storm and all!" Hoggle grabbed the kettle with boiling water and made some tea for his companions.
"Find Sawah now, help King!" Ludo wailed and stamped his foot.
"But how does we convince her?" Hoggle said "She's just as stubborn as Jareth, and won't just come back because he's lovesick!"
"Our fair maiden has one other option, dear brothers, the King won't like it, but it's better than certain death" Sir Didymus answered calmly.
"He'll throw us in the Bog for this,"Hoggle said grumpy "if she saves him that is! Can't we just forget to tell the other option to Sarah, this way the King can be happy, and we can be happy!"
"Bog smell bad!" Ludo said, holding his hand in front of his mouth and nose.
"Brothers, we must not keep things from Sarah, or she might not come at all! It is our duty to stay true to our friends and certainly to Lady Sarah." Sir Didymus took a sip from his cup and spit it out. "Even the water has become undrinkable" He said wistfully.
"Lets not waste anymore time, go to the mirror!" Hoggle said, and the others nodded.
