Thanks for all your reviews. They were all really helpful and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. I'm sorry if this is a bit of a weird chapter
as I'm not really 100% certain about what's going to happen next

Luv *Starlight*

Sarah's vision began to blur and all the colours mixed together as she felt the world around her begin to spin. Her head began to hurt and suddenly she began unable to see anything.

When Sarah opened her eyes, she saw two pairs of eyes staring down at her. " What, where am I?" Sarah asked as she tried to sit up but found that someone stopped her.

"Sshhh, lay still Sarah, you've had a bad time,"

It took Sarah a while to figure out whom the voice belonged to but when she did it relieved the minds of quite a few people.

" Hoggle, is that you," Sarah began to relax when she realized she was right, "what am I doing here Hoggle? What happened?"

Hoggle sat down on the bed next to Sarah and took hold of her hand while he told her what happened.

" You see," He began, " when you said you weren't coming with me, the labyrinth didn't expect an un recognised traveller to try to get through. As a result of this the labyrinth sent you to the squealers. Now, they're not the nicest of goblins in fact they're the roughest and they have been beating you and all sorts. When news of this reached me I came straight to you and brought you back here where Lilly managed to bring you back to your full health."

Sarah turned to see Lilly stood in the doorway. " Thank-you, thank-you ever so much."

Once Lilly saw that Sarah was all right she left the room as she felt something important was about to be discussed.

"Sarah, because you followed me here I assume that you wanted to help us," Hoggle asked, "Is that right"

Sarah nodded her head and Hoggle continued with what he was saying.

" Later on today I will take you to see Jared and the others but first I'll need to tell you everything, and I mean everything. A couple of months after you left problems began appearing. The goblins began to disobey Jared and with a couple of weeks the goblins had formed an army large enough to take over the city. And take over the city they did. That was about 3 months ago. We've all been hiding here at the labyrinth boundary where we've been trying to come up with a plan to take back the goblin city."

"And that's where I come in," Sarah asked.

"Yes, but I'll let Jared tell you that bit," Hoggle replied, " But first I should think you want some food?"

About 2 hours later Sarah found herself stood back with all her old friends and Jared. They were all sat round a large table with a map in front of them.

"So you see Sarah," Jared told her, " We need your help in more ways than one"

"And what are those ways," Sarah asked, somewhat intrigued.

" You seem to have a very strong frame of mind and are able to work your way round obstacles very quickly," Jared told her.

" And you always seem to find the right people to befriend and find information out of," Sir diddlemus told her.

" Ok, enough of the flattery, what do you want me to do," Sarah told them.

Jared placed a finger on the map, "You see this, this is the goblin city. To begin with you and Hoggle will go into the city and find out who the king is and so on."

"Is that all," Sarah asked.

"Only for the moment, until we get a bit more background information."

Sarah and Hoggle stood up from the table and left the room. After a quick stop to get some drinks they made their way through the forests to the Goblin City. What meet their eyes shocked them quite a bit.

There was rubbish all over the place and there was quite a bad smell. Not as bad as the bog of eternal stench but almost as bad.

" Sir Diddlemus would feel at home with the smell don't you think," Hoggle suggested to Sarah, trying to break the nearly tense atmosphere.

" Come on, we need to find our way the castle and see what sort of state that's in," Was Sarah's reply.

They made their way through the rubbish and up all the small windy roads until they found themselves standing in front of the castle. It was as though they were stood in a different world. The castle was in immaculate condition. Not a single bit of dirt lay on the walls. It was incredible. They walked up to the huge stone gates and pushed the doors open. They immediately found themselves face to face with death, death by spears.

" Now then, what do we have here," Boomed a large voice belonging to someone they couldn't see.

" Please, we didn't mean any harm," Sarah told them, " We had heard of a great leader in the city and we wanted to meet him for ourselves.

" Is that so," The voice boomed again, " Guards show them to my chambers."

"Yes lord," Chorused the guards.

Two of them took Sarah and Hoggle and pushed them down a small corridor where they were taken to the leaders chamber. During this short journey Hoggle tried whispering something to Sarah.

"Psst, Sarah, Do you know what you're doing."

"No, but trust me," Sarah finished just as they reached the end of the corridor.

"In, now," One of the guards mumbled whilst pushing Sarah and Hoggle into the chamber.

" I do hope you know what you're doing," Thought Hoggle.

As they entered the room they could see a figure standing by the window, back to them. As the figure turned round to face them he heard Sarah gasp next door to him.

" TOBY!" Sarah cried.
