Chapter 3 – "I wish the Goblin King would come and take you away, right now."

After Sarah had breakfast with her boyfriend Todd, they left to go around town for a while. But Sarah was still pretty out of it. No matter what she just couldn't forget about that dream. Todd noticed that she was not in it and decided to make conversation.

"Hey Sarah remember that little red book we found in your attic that one called "The Labyrinth"."

"Yeah I remember and I also remember that you borrowed it and never gave it back yet." Sarah said playfully and being cold at the same time. Todd couldn't help but laugh as they kept on walking.

"Well sorry I just can't seem to stop rereading that book for some odd reason it gives me a great play idea so I've been deciphering it seeing how I can turn it into a play." Sarah looked at him and laughed to herself, "This is what I get when I decided to date an actor of the theater."

"It's really interesting I wonder why it was in your attic collecting dust I thought you would also read a book like that every day because didn't you use to like acting also." Todd sort of asked

"Well I used to like acting but that was a long time ago, I now love being a writer although my step-mother thought it wasn't a well supporting job." Sarah said

"Well you did prove her wrong by making the best seller list and sold over a million copies with your first book." Todd said and laughed. Sarah couldn't help but laugh with him for she had to agree with him about that. After walking for awhile both Sarah and Todd were walking towards a crowd of people being all frantic and panicky. Sarah looked ahead and saw it was a car accident. It was a car rammed into a tree and the person in the car looked unconscious, then Sarah started to feel her head hurt and Todd noticed.

"Uh Sarah lets go a different way back home." Todd grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the crash. Sarah looked over her shoulder to take one last look at the crash and started to think about the car crash that she was in ten years ago and where she also lost her memories of the past few years of her life.

Todd finally got her back to her apartment and he was sweating for he did a fast power walk.

"Todd didn't we drive to the restaurant for breakfast." Sarah asked and Todd hit himself in the head for not thinking of that.

"Yeah we did but I forgot because I wanted to get you away from that crash site and your head looked like it was hurting also." Todd said really fast for he was also panting hard. Sarah only smiled for she knew that he meant well because about ten years back she had gotten into a car crash like the one they saw and it took a few years to recover from the crash also, but she also lost her memories before the crash had happen.

"So then since we're back and it looks like it's almost lunch time how about I make us some lunch while you work on your manuscripts that's due really soon." Todd smiled and Sarah couldn't help but laugh

"Okay Todd if that's what you want to do." Sarah said as she kissed him and headed to her office to get started working on her manuscripts.

Todd got started on lunch and while he was working he was thinking hard.

"Man that was too close for comfort, of all days for there to be an accident it had to be when I was out with Sarah." Todd had noticed that no matter where he went with Sarah there was a car crash or accident nearby and it was driving him crazy.

"Sarah can't remember, if she remembers how the accident happened or her memories before the crash them I'm toast." Todd thought for he can still remember the time when she rejected him before the accident and now after the accident she was all his.

"I will not lose her this time; I had to come up with a million lies just to get her to be mine." Todd had finally finished making lunch and went off to tell Sarah that it was ready.

"Sarah lunch is ready so if you're hungry come and get it." Sarah smiled and put her stuff down and walked up to him. "Okay Todd let's go eat then." Sarah walked passed him and Todd just smiled and headed to the kitchen table.

They sat quietly and ate there lunch and Todd got a little annoyed with the silence so he decided to break it.

"Oh Sarah before I forget here." Todd pulled out the little red book from his inside jacket pocket. "It's the book I borrowed for so long that was the other reason why I came to visit you." Sarah looked at it.

"Oh thanks Todd but if you want to hold onto it a little longer that's fine with me." Todd looked at Sarah weird and thought she wasn't acting like her normal self so he decided to play around.

"Well then okay thanks but there's one part in the book that doesn't make sense in the book. It's the part when this girl asked for her brother to be taken away to the goblin city by the goblin king." Sarah looked at him.

"Well then if you don't like how it sounds change it to something that does sound better." Sarah suggested.

"Great idea Sarah, hmmm I wonder, hey this one thing I thought of something want to hear Sarah." Sarah nodded her head.

"How about this then." Todd cleared his throat and stood up.

"I wish the Goblin King would come and take you away, right now." He soon laughed "What do you think of that Sarah." He didn't hear a response "Sarah?" he looked around but couldn't find her.

"SARAH!?!?!?!!?"

---Goblin King---

The goblin king lifted his head up once he heard those words. "So someone wish away their friends or loved one. Hoggle who was wished away."

"You won't believe it King Jareth it was Sarah she was wished away by her boyfriend." Jareth was shocked and smiled. "Really then I better go and talk to her boyfriend then." He got up from his seat and changed his clothes to look like the ones he had worn when he visited Sarah when she wished away her baby brother Toby. Then he teleported in front of Todd.

"Why hello there Todd I see you wished away your girlfriend." Jareth said with a smirk

"You're him you're the Goblin King, where is she where's my girlfriend Sarah." Todd yelled all scared but trying to be brave.

"She's there in my castle." Jareth point out the door to his castle in the middle of the Labyrinth.

"So that's the castle beyond the goblin city." Todd said as he walked out. "It doesn't seem that far."

"It's farther than you think." He said right next to him the pointed at a clock with thirteen hours on it. "You have thirteen hours to solve the Labyrinth before your dear girlfriend becomes one of us forever." Jareth said as he faded away back to his castle.

"Well then looks like I better get started." Todd said as he went off to the labyrinth. While Jareth returned to the castle and change back into his clothes that he was wearing earlier before he left. "Now then let's go say hi to my guest then." After he said that he headed to the room where Sarah was waiting to find out what was going on.
