"It's Hoggle! And you know it!! "

"Sorry. I have fixt that now. Thank you nonwritten"

(Bloody English grammar and strange word endings)

I suppose I should warn everyone about my spelling. Since English is not my first languish I rely on spell check and that dose not always find all my mistakes, if you find some and have the time please point them out to me.

Thanks to Sarah Lawrence, nonwritten and Athena's Avatar for their flattering review's.

This story is planed to be two more chapters unless I get attacked by plot bunnies in the near future.

I apologise for Hoggle beforehand, I simply can't grasp his way of speaking.

Let's go on to the story.

The problem whit the attic of her father house, Sarah thought to herself, was that there was to much things in it. The boxes stapled on each other left only little room for walking around and turned the room in to something resembling a labyrinth. Fortunately Sarah was very good at labyrinths; she just wished that she did not have to search thru all of the boxes to find where Karen had put the boxes whit her things. She really needed that dress her mother sent her last Christmas if she was attending the fancy party next Friday.

Muttering about stepmothers and there incredible need to store everything Sara opened another box finding it full of her old toys and treasures. She slowly looked thru it feeling herself going thru her childhood at the same time as the toys. Teddy bears from her collection, posters and small trinkets from her mother and under her sea shell collection she found a red book and a statuette that resembled some one she had not thought about for a long time.

It had been seven years since she run the labyrinth and got her brother back. The last two years she only called on her labyrinth friends at Christmas. Her college life and her friends from the labyrinth didn't fit together. To explain how a furry giant, a dwarf and a fox-like knight got in to her corridor room at college would be too much of a challenge.

Sarah put the box and its content back where she found it and in deep thought walked straight to a another box and pulled out her dress as if she had known it was there all along.

Back in her room Sara hanged up her dress still in deep thought about her time in the labyrinth, her memories had faded over the years but now they returned by full force.

Her anger fore being left home whit the baby again, her fear when she realised what she had really done, the determination to save her brother she was the heroine after all of coarse she would save her brother. Her first meting whit Hoggle, the endless corridor, the worm, it was like she was back and running the labyrinth again. But there was something missing, actually someone was missing. All her memories of the goblin king was foggy. She remembered him but whit problem. Her other memories of the labyrinth was clear as crystal glass but those of the enigmatic king was clouded and full of bubbles in the glass, if you get the comparison.

Determined she walk to her desk and mirror and called on her friends.

"Sara! Why that weren't yester day now was it?"

"Fair lady our days have been dull and whit out sun light whiteout you her to brighten it for us."

" Sawa back!" Her three friends greeted her. Sara had not really noticed last time she called them but they all looked worn and tired. Hoggle had gotten even more wrinkled and his clothes were thorn and dirty. Sir Didymus seemed to bee more grey then red and his usually neat clothes were patched. Even Ludo showed signs of things not being as they should, his fur in tangles and he even had scars and cuts.

"Hi guys! How are you?" She said while taking in their appearance.

"Been better." Hoggle answered and the others just kept quiet.

"You look a bit torn." Sara said. And was met by silence they only looked at each other.

"What is it? I thought that you did not get punished by the king for helping me?" Sara said as that was the first reason she thought of for them to be worn.

"Hi did not. Sara do you remember a conversation we had a week or tow after you beet the labyrinth?" Hoggle said carefully.

"Which one? As I recall we talked a lot after I defeated the Labyrinth."

"The one when I explained that we," Hoggle showed at him self and his friends. "Are some times bound by stupid rules?"

"Oh that one. You mean that this is one of those times that I need to ask the right questions?"

"That is right my lady. We are bound by horrible magical bounds, and so unable to give you the information whit out the right questions." Sir Didymus said.

"Okay so it is a bit like 20 questions except I have as many questions I like and you can't answer if I don't ask the right question."

"Well aren't you the smart one?" Hoggle said sarcastically.

"So it is something that has happened in the labyrinth, dose it have something to do whit Jaret the goblin king?" Sara started ignoring Hoggle's comment.

"Yes."

"Is it something he has done?"

"Well not totally."

"But it is something that has to do whit him, has something happened to him?"

"Yes!"

"Okay what happened to the goblin king?"

"He fell asleep my lady."

"That's all? Let him sleep some. Even fairytale kings must get tired sometimes."

"Sara he fell asleep seven years ago and have not woken up at all since then. And the Labyrinth sleeps whit him."

"Wow. That is a long nap. But I thought that you didn't like him anyway, shouldn't you be happy whiteout him Hoggle?"

"Well... He may be a rat but he is the king. The labyrinth needs a king. The labyrinth takes influence from its king. And the goblins are getting out of hand, they only listen to Jareth." Hoggle explained squirming a little as he confessed.

"And there is the wished-a-way's to." Sir Didymus reminded him. "And the safety of the kingdom." He continued.

"What do you mean?" Sara asked.

"Jareth helped the wished away Change from human to goblin, making it faster an less painful. He also gave the wisher a chance to win back what he wished away. Now there is no one to do so. And the Labyrinth is unguarded from its neighbour country's whiteout its king. Thank all higher powers that the labyrinth is considered a small and unimportant kingdom and that Jareth always been on a bad foot whit most of his neighbours so nobody have suspected anything yet, then we would have been in serious trouble already.

"So he is useful for something other then prancing around in new sparkling clothes all the time." Sara said sarcastically

"Of cores my lady without King Jareth there would be no Labyrinth." Didymus said seriously. That's when Sarah understood the seriousness of the problem.

"So, how do we wake the goblin king? She simply asked.

"Not we Sarah, you. You are the only one that can wake him." Hoggle said seriously." You need to come back under ground and wake him."

"How do I come back underground?" Sarah asked.

"You simply step thru the mirror. It works both ways." Hoggle explained and stretched out his hand thru the mirror for Sarah to take. Sarah took the wrinkly and sunburned hand without hesitation. The mirror seemed to shift and ripple like liquid for a moment before it went back to normal showing an empty room.

And that's it sweets! I know this was quite boring and a loot of dialogue in this chapter but I needed to set the scene. The next chapter will be much more exiting and be set in the labyrinth! I can also guarantee that Jareth will bee in the next chapter and that the will be some time for him and Sara together. That sounded weird. Anyway I shall try to get this story finished whit in the next week as I start university the week after.

Thank you fore reading and please review to keep me motivated!
