Don't anything thing, and yes, I know it's really short, but my muse could only stay for a few minutes. Hopefully she'll stay longer next time.
It had been over three months since Hoggle had come and asked for her help. Ludo and the others still hadn't found Jareth, and Sarah was becoming fed up with being queen of the Labyrinth.
"Majesty, another one has wished two children away," a little goblin called out to Sarah, jumping with glee.
Sarah sighed and slowly stood, the crimson cape, swirling around her booted feet. The crimson shirt had a black spider web design made of tiny crystals that matched her tight black pants.
A crystal appeared in her gloved hand and she threw it to the floor, watching as her throne room vanished, replaced by a child's messy bedroom.
Two little boys stared cautiously at goblins while sitting inside a ring of salt, quite effective at keeping creatures of magik out.
Sarah saw the circle and barely contained her scream of rage.
"Where are you?" she called out in a loud, angry voice.
"I was just getting more salt," a voice called out as a teenage girl walked into the room.
"This is the third time in two months that you have called me here to take the children away. All three times, you have protected the children with a circle of salt that none of my goblins can pass. What do you want?" Sarah asked, almost snarling.
"What I wanted the first two times. Where's the goblin king?"
"He has vanished, I told you that the first two times!"
"Well, I won't let anybody but the goblin king take those two little brats. I just can't wait to meet him, he must be terribly handsome," the girl said wistfully.
Sarah glared at the girl, trying and failing to keep a hold on her temper.
"Listen here you little brat. There is no more goblin king, he left and I run the Labyrinth now. If you ever call for me again, I will make you go through the Labyrinth, even if I don't have the children."
Sarah turned and looked at the confused goblins still standing outside the protective ring.
"Return to the Labyrinth," she commanded them, waiting until they had all vanished before turning and looking at the pouting teenager.
"Call for me again, and I will make sure you end up in an oubliette for a very, very long time," she said as she vanished, smiling slightly as she heard the girl cough on a cloud of glitter.
Sarah paced around in the Escher room, still fuming. She had made around ten people journey through her Labyrinth to reclaim their siblings. Most had acted like she had, scared and angry, but a few hadn't cared that she was there to steal children, and a few had actually tried to attack her, not that it did any good.
Looking up, she glanced at the staircase overhead and frowned.
"Jareth, wherever you are, I hope you're having fun, because when you come back, I'm gonna make your life hell because of what you've done to mine," she whispered under her breath, vanishing from the room.
