The lone wolf took off down the hallway towards the crash with a howl. It plowed through Lynda and Sarah, tearing down the corridor so fast that it's paws sent up dust and pebbles.
"Come on, Sarah, let's go!" Lynda grabbed her daughter's arm again and began to pull her down the hall.
"No! Where's Hawk!?" Sarah wrenched her arm away from her mother.
"He's abandoned us! Come, Sarah! We must leave!"
"No! Hawk! Hawk, where are you?!"
The wolf chose that time to come trotting back to the two women. He carried a squirming dwarf in his mouth.
"Let me go!" The wolf opened his mouth at the dwarf's request.
"Good." the dwarf said after he stood and brushed himself off. Then he looked at the two companions, and his mouth dropped open.
"Sarah?"
"Hoggle!" Sarah cried, and bent to embrace her old friend. "It's been too long."
Hoggle was in disbelief. "But, Sarah, I thought he gots you!"
"He did!" Sarah said, still hugging Hoggle. "But I escaped."
"Escaped?" Hoggle cried, frantic. "He's not going to be very happy! Oh, we're in big trouble now, Sarah."
"Yes. We are." said Hawk, who had appeared out of no where.
"You." snarled Lynda. "You bring us down here and ABANDON us? You- You're- I-"
Hawk grinned mischievously. "Milady, you seem to have a temper. Don't worry, I would have stayed with you, had I known you could not take care of yourself. I be sure to take care of you both next time."
Lynda's mouth dropped open and she stared at the thief, rage radiating out of her. He proceeded to ignore her, and turned to Sarah and Hoggle. "Come. Let's go. We can't stay in one place for too long. The magic lets him know exactly where you are, Sarah, and if he wished to he could-"
"Bring himself there in seconds." The Goblin King slunk out of the shadows. He stopped and crossed his arms.
"Well well, Sarah, it seems to me like you have found yourself some bad company."
Sarah tossed her hair out of her face and tilted her chin stubbornly, glaring at Jareth eye to eye. "None worse then you."
"Really?" Jareth grinned maliciously. "A queen who betrayed her own country not once, but twice. And the thief, who sells out everyone he knows, as long as it suits him. Last, but certainly not least, Hogwart-"
"Hoggle."
"-who by no means is a friend of yours." With that he turns to Hoggle. "You're very loyal to your King, aren't you, Hoggle?"
Hoggle looks down at his feet, his face hidden in the shadows. "Yes, sire."
Jareth turned back to Sarah before Hoggle even finished his sentence. "See, Sarah, you have no friends. No one who cares." He held out his hand to her. "Come with me, back to your home."
Sarah's mind became to cloud up. His hand was so inviting. He surely wouldn't hurt her. He was her only friend. She took a step toward him.
"You're safe with me, Sarah. Away from all the people who hurt you-"
"That's not including yourself, is it, Jareth?" Hawk's voice cut through the thick air like a hot knife through butter.
"Silence, Christo!" Jareth snapped. For a second Sarah's mind was clear, but then it fogged up again, much quicker than the first time.
"Come with me, Sarah. These people don't care about you. I do. I-" A scream of fury cut through the dream. Sarah blinked, and stepped back from the Goblin King. A long knife was protruding from his forearm, hilt-deep. Hawk was back into a fighter's crouch, a knife like the one in the Goblin King in each of his hands.
"Go! Run!" Hawk cried. Jareth rushed towards him, and stumbled. He was losing a lot of blood, and could feel his magic leash on Sarah slipping. He cursed.
"I'll be back!" he yelled shrilly, pain ebbing through each word. "I'll find you, Sarah! You can never hide from me!"
"Shut up." Hawk said, boredom in his voice. The Goblin King glared at him in reply.
"And I'll be repaying you, boy. How does a slow death sound?" with that he disappeared.
"Sound fun, Jareth. I'll see you then." Hawk muttered under his breath. "What am I, suicidal?" He laughed to himself, and turned to follow his companions.
