"Sarah," Hoggle paused. He wasn't sure how to ask Sarah. " Yes Hoggle," She turned round to look at him, " What's wrong Hoggle," " I need to ask you something, something really important. I'll understand if you need to take some time answering." " That sounds worrying Hoggle," She sat down on the bed next door to him. "Go on then." " We need your help," Hoggle began to say, but Sarah cut in. " Whose we?" " Oh, well everyone in the Labyrinth I suppose," He informed her before carrying on, "Something terrible has happened in the Labyrinth and I've been sent back by Jareth to ask you if you'll help us." He found that last question quite hard to say, as he didn't really like Jareth. There was silence in the room as Sarah sat there, thinking over what Hoggle had just told her. What had happened in the Labyrinth? And why did they need her help? Surely Jareth could manage the problem. He certainly seemed in control when she had met him last time. What was she going to do? Well one thing was certain, she needed to know what the problem was and why they needed her help. The only problem was would Hoggle tell her those things? The only way to find out was to ask him. " Hoggle," She decided to ask him. " Yes Sarah," he hoped she'd made a decision, but if he knew Sarah then there would definitely be some questions she would ask first. " Can I ask you some questions first?" "Yes, but I can't promise that I can answer them all," Although he didn't like lying to Sarah, it was the only thing he could do until he knew weather she was going to help them. Here goes nothing, Sarah thought, " What has happened in the Labyrinth?" Hoggle was about to answer the question but Sarah continued, "And why do you need my help, can't Jareth manage on his own." Phew, that wasn't so hard Sarah thought. It was just as Hoggle expected. He knew he couldn't tell her what the problem was. He was under strict orders from Jareth not to tell her and he wasn't really sure weather or not he could tell her why they needed her help. It was up to him to make a decision as to weather or not he was going to tell her. And if he decided to tell her, what was he going to tell her? His thoughts were interrupted by Sarah's voice talking to him. " Can you tell me Hoggle?" She could tell that he was thinking but she needed to know. Hoggle had made his mind up and was about to tell her when a noise from another room caught his attention, " What was that noise?" He asked Sarah. " What the meeeoow?" Sarah replied. " Yes, that," Hoggle began to get worried now as the noise came closer. " Don't worry Hoggle is only my pussy cat Labyrinth," Sarah laughed at the expression on Hoggles face, " Dad bought him for my birthday just after the night in the Labyrinth. It was at the time when no-one believed me so I confided in my new kitten and I suppose she just got used to the name." " Will she hurt me, I've never met a cat before," Hoggle relaxed slightly but not fully. " Of course she won't," Sarah replied as she got up and left the room. A couple of minutes later she returned with Labyrinth in her arms, " Come here Hoggle, you can stroke her and she won't hurt you. She loves meeting new people." Hoggle walked very cautiously over to where Sarah was stood with Labyrinth. He hesitated for a moment and then started stroking her. Straight away his fear disappeared and he began to like Labyrinth quite a lot. Unfortunately it didn't take Sarah's mind off the questions Hoggle still had to answer. " So, now that we've been introduced to Labyrinth do we think we could get back to the subject of the actual Labyrinth and its problems," There really was nothing Sarah left out. " I thought you would ask questions before answering, but you have to understand that I can't actually answer either of you questions," As he expected Sarah tried to cut in but he didn't let her, " I know you may need me to answer these questions in order for you to make your decision, but I can't, I'm sorry." Sarah now felt very unsure about things and still had no idea what it was Hoggle was asking her to do, " How long have I got to make my decision," She asked Hoggle. " Until midday," he saw Sarah's look as she glanced at her watch, "I know it isn't long but I have to be back in the Labyrinth then, with or without you Sarah." " That gives me an hour Haggle. Do you think you could take Labyrinth and give her some food while I have a think about this?" Labyrinth didn't really need feeding but she needed to be on her own. She wanted to be alone without hurting Hoggles feelings and she thought that Hoggle knew that as well. " Of course Sarah. Do you think I could get something to eat as well because I'm really hungry, you see I left without having breakfast this morning," He informed her. Sarah passed Labyrinth to Hoggle and watched them going to the kitchen before flopping back onto her bed. " What are we going to do with you Sarah, and what are we going to do about the Labyrinth?"
Quarter of an hour before Hoggle had to leave he came back into Sarah's bedroom to find her leafing through a notebook at her desk. " Sarah," he said to her, " Have you made a decision?" he hoped she was going to help them but he couldn't be sure because she had her back to him. She turned round and nodded. There seemed to be tears in her eyes. "It's been a long hour but I've decided that I can't come back with you. I'm sorry Hoggle I just don't know how I can help." "I understand Sarah, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you more." He walked over to her and gave her a hug, "Well this'll be a first. I normally manage to get back to the Labyrinth with a couple of seconds to spare but this time it will be ten minutes to spare." "I'm sorry Hoggle," Sarah said through tears, "Really I am." " It's alright Sarah, I understand," Hoggle had on more idea left. It was his only hope, "and don't forget that you can always talk to me through your mirror when you say the words, remember." "Yes I remember. Bye Hoggle." "Bye Sarah." And with that he leapt into the mirror and back into the Labyrinth. Sarah stood there for a couple of minutes thinking. After a short while she made a decision that she was probably going to regret. She glanced at the clock next to her bed and saw that it was one minute until midday. That meant a minute until the entrance to the Labyrinth closed. She quickly gave Labyrinth a club and jumped into the mirror on her desk.
