Intentions Chapter
two
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sarah's heart fluttered fast as a pang of adrenaline flooded inside her
chest. She turned around heading fast to Toby's crib in the next room.
Peacefully in his slumber, Toby was safe. Sarah breathed and her panic
lightened but not entirely. The mystery of the watch still plagued her.
Who left this? The owl? And even if so what did it mean. For a moment she
thought the Goblin was trying to tell her something. Walking back to her
room, she decided she needed help. She needed a friend. Not exactly sure
how or if simply saying his name would beckon him, she meekly called out,
"Hoggle.?" Nothing stirred no noise was heard. Sarah fell back on her bed.
You're almost a grown woman, and your calling out to an imaginary." flop.
Flop. Sarah sat up quickly, startled. Slowly walking towards her was her
small dwarf friend, "hoggle!!" Sarah leaped up scooping him up in her arms
hugging him and twirling as if he where Toby. She put him down on his
small feet again. " H'llo Sarah." She pulled out the watch from her pocket
and showed it to Hoggle.

Jareth Sat Alone. Four wooden goblins carved within a large pillar standing four feet tall from the cold stone floor, held a slightly larger than average Crystal. The goblin king peered intently into the crystal, one gloved hand slightly holding his chin as he thought. He thought of Sarah and her few moments at her Vanity. The tears that feel from her eyes, they where so real. Jareth realized that he had never seen anyone, other than the cowardly goblin or scared baby, cry the way Sarah had. He himself had never cried and could never remember a time when he wanted to. Though, who really wants to cry?
Hoggle and Sarah where talking now. No doubt He would tell her about the watchmaker he commissions to create all his timepieces. He only hoped it would rise within Sarah's interest to pursue this. Jareth rose and turned from the crystal, everything seemed to be fallowing into the order he had suspected, and hoped it would. Jareth took his ebony and crystal scepter from aside his thrown, and readjusted his long black cloak upon his shoulders he looked at himself in his mirror. He gave himself a completely self-satisfied grin before disappearing from the castle.

"But Hoggle, I don't understand why he would come to my window and leave me a watch from the Underground." Sarah examined it again. Still nothing other than the 13 made it look remarkably different. The black metal was very beautiful and had a dark luster that reminded her of the night sky. The chain was thin and delicate looking but seemed to be made of a very strong substance. The numbers on the face of the watch were black and so where the hands, the hands. " It's not moving!" Hoggle looked at it too and then shook it a bit "ooah, and th'er isn't even a tick to it." Sarah looked around the side of the small circular object. " There's nothing, I mean.. There's no knobs or switches to adjust it." She looked up at Hoggle. Her short friend furrowed his eyebrows and scratched at his head. "Well, I spose we could go ask the watch maker hiself." Sarah looked down. She was at odds with herself again. Go back into the Labyrinth. The idea did please her, how else would she know anymore about this mystery unless she talked to the maker herself. But as an adult she needs to keep her feet firmly on the ground. "Lets go Hoggle, I have to find out what this all means." Hoggle smiled. Adventure! Sarah thought for a moment. "Hoggle how do we get there?" Hoggle scratched his head again. "Well Sarah, err..Close yer eyes." Sarah was confused but did as Hoggle instructed. "Ok, there closed now what?" "Well, whut do ya see?" Sarah was completely confused. "Nothing, Hoggle I see Black, Darkness. That's it." " Are you Sure?" The tone in Hoggles voice seemed different, like he was getting at something. "Hoggle I don't see anything, it's completely dark!" "Completely Dark?" Hoggle prodded. "Yes Hoggle completely dark, like the Oubliette." Sarah felt her body move though she hadn't squirmed an inch. The air became stale and stuffy. She shot open her eyes and still was darkness. In her panic she almost thought she had gone blind. "Hoggle!!" she cried out. The sound of a scrapping match and then instantly a small flickering light shining inside the room told Sarah they where in the Oubliette. "Well, now lets see if we can't get out uf here." Sara became slightly annoyed with herself. Of all places to choose, she had landed right in the most forgettable.

A Sundial made of brass and beautiful carved white stone shone with light. Along side it a pond glittered the suns refection of its cool clear surface. There were no fish but many blossoms of majestic shades of purples, reds, and whites. The grass was of the deepest green and softest texture that no other land in all of creation could reproduce such a magnificent sight. The Goblin King admired one of his favorite places in his kingdom before turning to the sundial. With one gloved finger he pointed to the dial, the brass numeral vibrated and shone brightly. The sundial moved, leading to an entrance bellow surface. Stone stairs formed and the King proceeded to the lower level of his kingdom to find his clockmaker.
