Sarah took in her new surroundings once again. How was she to find her way now? Tarrick had turned her completely around, leaving her with no idea where she was or which direction she should be going. Left and right, all directions looked exactly the same, trees, trees and more trees.

"Well I'm not going to get anywhere by just standing here." Sarah said as she began to walk. She walked slowly, carefully through the trees, she had learned from the last time she was lost in the labyrinth that anything is possible. The forest floor could give way, or the trees could attack, anything could happen and its cruelty would depend on the mood of the goblin king, for it was he who made all things happen.

"This place stinks!" She was speaking to herself as bush and tree filled the path in front of her, growing thicker with every step she took.

"You got tha' righ'!" The strange voice was back.

"Where are you?" Sarah said, turning her head to the sky, looking into the upper most branches of the trees.

"Told you tha' already! I is up the tallest tree."

"Well come down and show yourself!" Sarah shouted, whoever it was that was calling on her, they were really beginning to piss her off.

"Can' do tha'. Oh no! Mus'n't do tha'. Be my ickle head for tha', yes it would. Show meself! Ha! Oh no, no, no." The voice carried on muttering to himself, itself. Refusing to come out of the trees, yet still muttering.

"If you wont help me then go away!" Sarah screamed. She had a long way to go and she had already had enough. "Maybe Tarrick is right. Maybe I do need his help."

"Oh no! No! No! No! No! Can't do that oh no!"

"Go! Away!" Sarah screamed again.

A small pair of fluffy, pointy ears came out of the branches above Sarah's head, followed by big, wide, brown eyes. The furry face was half hidden in the trees, but the bit that she could see was upside down. "Are you going to help me?" Sarah asked as the eyes blinked at her.

"Can' do tha'…unless…"

"Unless what?" The creature's mouth and nose were still hidden.

"My no like it here, I wanna leave, bu' doesn't know how."

"Well how can you help me?" Sarah was loosing her temper again.

"I knows the way, jus' not how to go passed."

"What if Tarrick found out?"

"Then I losses my ickle head. I wanna go from here. No like it! You take me with you?"

"If you get me out of here then yeah I guess."

"YAY!"

The creature jumped from the tree onto Sarah's shoulders. It's small furry body was covered in the same brown fur as it's head. Small hands held onto her head, while small legs and feet wrapped themselves around her neck. Sarah screamed, sending the 'thing' spinning to the ground where it hit off of a tree root.

"Oh god! I am so sorry. A little warning would have been good." Picking up the small body, Sarah held it in her arms like a small baby. "Did I hurt you?"

"Ickle bit! But Fizz will be okie-day." The furry face broke into a small grin. "Fall out trees every day."

"Your name is Fizz?"

"Yup, tha' me. Fizz!"

"I'm Sarah."

"Me know, you was 'ere before, Jareth was 'ere then too."

"What happened to him?"

"He died, Tarrick says it cos you so nasty to him. But me no trust him. He been stabbed, with nasty, pointy knife."

"Self inflicted?"

"Nooooo, my thinks not. Me thinks Tarrick does it, but Tarrick says that he does it himself, broken heart, stab through the heart."

"And you not believe him?" A cold voice drawled from behind.

"Oop me be going now."

Fizz jumped from Sarah's arm back into the trees above him. Sarah turned to face Tarrick, she was used to people removing themselves from the presence of the goblin King. A smile, cold and unfriendly, spread across Tarrick's face.

"Nice to see I haven't lost my touch."

"Go to hell Tarrick!"

"Oooh that's not very nice. I'm hurt. Maybe I should put you back in the castle dungeons? Or something that would really hurt, put you in my chamber, keep you there…forever…with me. No choice for you, but lots of pleasure for me."

"Forget it Tarrick. I got out of this place once and I sure as hell ain't staying for a second time. I'm going home." Sarah turned her back on him, walking through the trees ignoring his foot steps behind her.

A/N: The little 'thing' Fizz, that has been following Sarah actually annoys me, don't

know about other people but that is the way he has to be, an annoying little

creature so if he annoys other people then I have done my job well ;o)
