Sweet revenge
Chapter 10: The Labyrinth
Doubting that she'll find Hoogle at the entrance of the Labyrinth, Sarah walked directly to the door. She wondered how open it. It seemed to be really heavy and she was not a sumo. The first time Hoogle opened it for her.
"I wish Hoogle was here to help me!" Wished Sarah out loud.
Out of nowhere, she heard Jareth's voice say: "You wish!" Followed by a cold laugh.
Sarah knew that he was watching her through one of his crystal orb. Furious, Sarah tried to push the door open. It moved slightly, enough for a spider to go in, but certainly not her. She tried once more, concentrating on all the hate she has for Jareth but still, it was not enough. Exasperated, Sarah smashed the door with her hands and sat next to it to think.
"I am going to spend all the time allowed to push that door. Imagine the victorious look on Jareth's face when he'll realize I did not even entered the Labyrinth..." Raged Sarah.
Sarah was trying to figure out any alternative ways to at least enter in the labyrinth. The walls were way too high for her to climb. She was pretty sure that there were no other entrances. She remembered that the Underground is a lot different than the Aboveground.
"Things are not always what they seem, you take everything for granted." Hoogle kept telling her.
"Damn! It is my second time here! I cannot believe I didn't thought of it before!" Said Sarah to herself.
Quickly, she stood in front of the door. Not even touching it, she opened it just like Hoogle did two years ago. She used her mind instead of her muscles.
"Very clever Jareth, most people would've exhaust themselves trying to push it open. I bet that's how you have won many babies. One-zero for me." Said Sarah loudly to make sure Jareth would hear it.
Not knowing which way to choose between right and left, Sarah decided to go the same way she did 2 years ago. She knew there was a walk-through wall, but where exactly? She didn't take time to measure the exact distance she ran before she talked to the little worm; the wall being in front of it. So she touched the wall with her right hand firmly to notice any change. It seemed like several minutes before she realized that there was no opening.
"Of course, Jareth isn't stupid enough to rebuild the labyrinth exactly like the last one." Finally realized Sarah.
Trying to anticipate how Jareth built his labyrinth this time, Sarah decided to go back where the entrance door was and start over. But this time, she went left.
Jareth was so happy to see Sarah start over and choose left that he could have kissed a goblin. The thing is, he built the Labyrinth exactly the same way on the right side but not on the left side. Sarah was about to reach that walk-through wall before she stopped, apparently thinking hard. Much to his satisfaction, Jareth watched Sarah change her mind, walk back and heading left.
"Dear dear. Sarah, the thing is, you did not choose that way the first time. I think you will find it more difficult. As for me, more amusing to watch." Thought Jareth almost laughing out loud.
