Well, I have to say…I love you all! You guys just make my day when you review. Thank you for that and…thank you for answering my question about fan art. It must look cool! Alright…I also have to say that I'm doing the sequel (THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE READING!) Now, I do think I will be descriptive, slower, maybe funny, and all the rest of that good stuff! I will also try to fit PeaceLightVictory into the story too! I will put you in…I just have to think :p Oh and….the book, I changed it. Sarah isn't in the Labyrinth book, Lila is! I thought that would be super cool. Please don't get mad…I just thought of it while eating Oreos! They were delicious.
Disclaimer: You obviously know the drill.
It was a year ago. Jareth had found Lila in the goblin city. She, at the time, was rebellious, helpless, and very good at spitting. She was running from her future but, the princess later found out that she ran head first into it. Lila's new life wasn't all fun and baby games anymore.
Lila had bigger responsibilities to deal with now. In fact her new 'job' started at sunrise, ended at sunset and continued every hour in between. Most people, including her sister, would always say that being the goblin queen wasn't a job. Well, in fact it was a big one!
She had to watch over the misbehaving goblins, make sure her husband stayed on track, and now her new priority was staying in bed for the rest of this month. Lila was now nine months pregnant. Her ankles were extremely swollen, the cravings and mood swings were terrible, and feeling seventy pounds over weight was not a very pleasant feeling either.
So now, Lila was in bed listening to the goblin king yelling at all of his little minions for making a huge mess in the kitchen. They blew a hole in the ceiling. So, the walls of Jareth's study were covered in tomato sauce, and the nice hardwood floor had a giant hole in it also.
"I expect every single drop of that sauce to be cleaned up! You couldn't even stir it correctly! Why? Why did I have to become the goblin king?" He yelled and then you could hear his foot steps coming up the stairs and turn right into the throne room, and then slam the door shut.
Lila rolled her eyes. She got up and waddled towards her open bedroom door. She heard all of the goblins scurry around, and the sloshing of the soapy water hitting the stone floor.
"What did you guys do now?" she asked.
Once Lila was downstairs, she trying very hard not to slip on the sauce. Her over bulging dress was already stained with the red, gooey, deliciousness. It was worse than she had thought. All of the cabinets were red, the floor was red, and the hallways were completely splattered in the goo.
"We were making some sort of dish. It had some stringy, pale, slimy, hair in it. Oh and this is some blood from some red fruit from the garden. It tasted really good! After that it was bubbling and then, King came downstairs, and now you are here!" one said.
The others were trying to get rid of a crystal orb they found in one of the cabinets. Lila loved watching the goblins try to get rid it.
Lila walked over to an unfortunately small chair and sat, making sure all of the mess wasn't magically shoved under the carpet, like the salad last week. She quickly learned that goblins were like three year olds. They had to be watched constantly, or else the whole entire castle would be a complete disaster!
"Lila! Why aren't you in bed?" Jareth yelled from upstairs.
"Ha-ha! Queen got yelled at!" they all laughed.
Lila stepped over all of the working goblins and headed towards the stair case. Her husband was standing with his arms crossed looking down at her. It made Lila feel like a child again.
"What did the doctor tell you? You don't want to over exert yourself." he said and then walked down the stairs to help her up them.
"I know, I know. I just hate staying in the bedroom all day. Even you said it was boring." she whined.
They were at the top of the stairs, and Jareth was leading Lila towards their bedroom. When they go there, Lila sat on the window sill and watched the Labyrinth change its course.
"My love that is not the bed. You need to be in bed. That is why it is called BED rest." Jareth said sounding rather stressed.
Lila turned and faced the stubborn king. He was pinching the bridge of his nose, and his head was resting on the back of the chair.
"You don't have to worry about me, or the baby," Lila said at last. "I know my weaknesses, and walking is not one of them."
Jareth got up and sat next to her. "You know, we haven't discussed names yet." he said.
Lila nodded. Their baby was going to be born in a few weeks or less, and they didn't even have a decent name picked.
She had a few ideas but, she was nervous that Jareth wouldn't like them.
All of the sudden, Jareth sat upright and looked around the room.
"Well, I have to go. I do believe we will talk tonight, correct?" he asked.
Lila nodded. He kissed her on the cheek and then left the room.
"That was weird." she thought. Jareth loved to talk about the new addition, and how happy he was. He never stopped a conversation about it.
Lila decided to let it go.
MEANWHILE IN THE ABOVEGROUND…
"Shut up Toby!" Sarah yelled. She stomped into her room, and continued to feel sorry for herself.
Toby wouldn't stop crying. Sarah read to him, played with him, she even sang to him, and the kid wouldn't shut his mouth.
She was now reading her favorite book, while trying to ignore the constant cries. Sarah left off at the part where Lila was in the basement. She wondered if the goblin king's basement really looked like that.
"TOBY PLEASE!" she screamed back at the baby.
Sarah walked back into his room and picked him up out of his crib. She was spinning him around, bouncing him up and down, and then Toby decided to puke all over her.
That left Sarah with a mess to clean up, and a dirty little brother.
"I hate you!" she yelled.
That made Toby scream louder, and it wasn't a nice sound. It made Sarah's ears bleed.
Sarah put him back in the crib and then changed her clothes. She found a pair of ripped jeans, and a green striped shirt.
After she cleaned Toby up, she began to tell him a story of her own.
"Okay. Once apon a time, there was a girl who had to watch over her stinky, selfish, little brother. One night the boy gave her a really, really hard time, and he wouldn't shut his little mouth. The girl then called the goblin king to take him away, and it had worked!" she said.
"Is that so Sarah?" a husky voice said from behind her.
She slowly turned around and saw, the goblin king with all of his glittery goodness.
"Uh…no. That was… I just wanted to make him… you aren't going to take him away are you?" she asked sheepishly.
Jareth just chuckled. "Go play with your toys and make-up. Live a normal life like a normal girl." he said.
Sarah was about go back in her room, when she saw Jareth hold his hand up to Toby's face and then make a red beam.
"What are you doing to him?" she asked.
"I'm in need of another goblin. You wouldn't mind if I made him one now, would you?"
Sarah scooped up her little brother and ran down the stairs. She hid in the bathroom, and locked the door.
She heard his black riding boots hit the hardwood floor. The shadow under the door went towards the kitchen.
"You can't hide from me Sarah Williams!" he yelled and then appeared in the bathroom.
"Please! Go away! You are not real!"
All Sarah did was blink and she was now on a hill with red soil on it. The hill reminded Sarah of Mars.
"You have thirteen hours to complete my Labyrinth. If you don't, I will turn little Tobias into a goblin." he said and then left Sarah in a heap of purple and dark blue glitter.
BACK IN THE CASTLE'S BEDROOM…
Lila was now in bed. Sleeping, as she should have been. Her ankles and feet were so swollen, that her shoes couldn't fit on her feet properly.
The mood swings were acting up again. As soon as Jareth left, she began to cry, and then laugh, and then she became so angry that she kicked a goblin out of her way.
Now she finally had some time by herself.
"Hello, love." she heard from the corner of her room.
"I'm finally in bed. I'm not getting up" she said. Her eyes were still closed.
Jareth sat on the bed next to her, and held her hand.
"I told you we would talk about names tonight." he said.
She yawned and woke up. She rubbed her eyes and then looked over at a smiling goblin king.
"We were talking about names."
"Did you have any ideas?" she asked
Clearly Lila didn't want to go first. All the names she picked out were from her sister's kingdom. The goblin kingdom was not known for its baby names.
"If we have a boy, I thought we could name him Eden. Or if it was a girl, Kylie." he insisted.
"I'll tell you what I think when you let that girl out of the Labyrinth." Lila said with a hint of sarcasm.
She hated when Jareth brought mortals into his maze for fun. Lila knew the contents of the Labyrinth, considering she made it through a year ago. That poor girl was probably scared, and so was her sibling.
"Lila, you know I can't ignore a wish." he whined.
It wasn't like the goblin king to whine, but he did it as often as he could.
"Technically it wasn't a wish. She just told a silly story, then you appeared, and then you took her little brother. Just let her go home, mortals should only be in the Labyrinth if in need of extreme punishment." she said.
Jareth put his head on his wife's shoulder. "Why should I? That little girl should have known better."
Lila shook her head; Jareth was extremely stubborn when it came to his Labyrinth. She got up out of bed and waddled toward the mahogany wardrobe. She pulled out a short sleeved dress, a thick periwinkle sweater, and some shoes that were wide enough to fit her overly swollen feet.
She got dressed and walked out into the hallway.
"Five, four, three, two, o-"
"Lila! You get back into this bed! I forbid you to go into that Labyrinth!" Jareth yelled from the doorway.
Lila walked carefully down the spiral staircase and then out of the grand doors in the foyer.
"Come out; come out where ever you are!" Lila whispered to herself.
She was going to find this girl and bring her back home where she belonged.
