A/N: yay! Now I can change my summery because what I want to put up HAPPENS IN THIS CHAPTER! If I had put it up under the summery before, it wouldn't make any sense. So be happy, I have spared your mind from becoming like MINE!
--------------------
Lynda walked through the Goblin Town. :Councilor Whyndam refuses to allow us to save her.: Lynda's eyes glowed with determination. :Well, I'll just have to act upon my own council.:
She walked up several flights of stairs to a landing, where she was stopped by a guard.
"No one is allowed past this point but for the King himself."
Lynda set her chin stubbornly. "It is the King who gave me permission to enter here, Doorwarden."
He thinks for a second, then steps to the side, obviously having doubts. :So, the boy isn't as stupid as he seems.:
Lynda waits for the doorway to open. She stepped into the cage. For a moment the room seemed empty, then Lynda caught sight of a sleeping figure lying in the corner. Lynda rushed over, then knelt next to her daughter.
"Sarah." The queen of the woodland realm shook the girl awake.
Sarah opened her eyes then blinked in surpise. She whispered, in a strangled voice, one single word. "Mommy?"
--------------------
"Yes, Sarah, come on." With that Lynda pulled her daughter to her feet.
"But-mom?"
"Not now, Sarah, we have to go." She stops, and turns to her daughter. "Do you have anything against rats?"
"Nothing, as long as its name's not Jareth."
"Good." Lynda waved her hand, and Sarah turned into a small, brown rat.
"Sorry." Lynda whispered as she slipped Sarah the Rat into a large pocket.
She calmly walked out the door. "Milady.' the Doorwarden bowed politely. Lynda nodded to him, and walked down the stairs.
--------------------
Taking the rat out of her pocket, she put it on the ground and waved her hand. Sarah emerged from the rat form.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Sarah squealed.
Lynda cocked an eyebrow. "You said you didn't mind rats."
Sarah was furious. "There's a difference between minding them, and wanting to BE a rat. I'm going to have nightmares for MONTHS!"
The Queen rolled her eyes. "It has never bothered me. I've been a rat many times."
"You're telling me."
Sarah's mother seemed to grow. "What's THAT supposed to mean?"
The daughter glared, and crossed her arms. "What it means is-"
They were cut off by a loud yell from above the town.
"We've been found out." Lynda said calmly.
The Goblin Army poured through the gate. "Come on! This way!" Lynda said sternly, grabbing her daughter's arm.
Sarah pulled it away. "No! I'm going this way." And she took off toward the right.
Lynda swore, and chased after her.
------------------------
Lynda had run after Sarah for a couple minutes, then suddenly Sarah stopped. Lynda nearly crashed into her, but stopped herself in time.
"Sarah? What are you doing?"
"It's a dead end."
Sure enough, there was a dead end. (A/N: Perfectly timed, wasn't it?) They both heard the goblins closing in.
"Damn, there's no way-" Sarah started.
"Hey!"
They both looked to their left, to see an opened door, with an enshrouded figure in the doorway.
"Come here!"
The girls were doubtful for a moment, then the figure sighed. "Come here or the Gob-"
They rushed into the house, Sarah knocking over their helper. As the figure fell, it slammed the door shut with a grunt.
"Who are you?" Lynda asked, wasting no time.
"Couldn't you at least have waited until I hit the ground?" The stranger pulled himself to his feet, and took off his hood, his bangs just falling into his gray eyes. He brushed them away, then continued, looking out the window. "You don't need to know my name."
Lynda stiffened. "I am the Queen of the Woodland Realm. I have asked you your name, and you will give it to me."
He turned to her, grinning. "I hold allegiance to no one."
Slow realization hit Lynda, you could see it on her face. "I know who you are, you're that thief. Hawk something-or-other."
His grin just grew larger as he bowed dramatically. "Milady." he said in a mocking voice.
Sarah laughed, and her mother turned to glare at her."We're leaving now, Sarah. We can not spend our time with criminals."
"You go out there, you will be captured." Hawk said bluntly. "Everyone will be looking for you. They all have loyalty towards Jareth. Like it our not, your majesty, I'm your only hope."
-------------------- Yay. That was fun. Fun fun fun. Yay lots of fun. there's more to come. Lots and lots more. And when this one's done, I'm making this a trilogy. Yay lots of fun. Hehe I had WAAAY too much CAFFINE! WA-HOOO!
