Disclaimer: I own nothing of the Labyrinth understands anything and I'm right pissed at this fact.

A/N. Ok in this chapter there's going to be a flashback cuz I do not enjoy writing Hoggle speech. To show were the flashback begins there's going to be many *#*# won't get confused when the scene changes or what ever, I truly have no idea what I'm talking about I just hope you understand and that your not more confused. Also as you can see I'm angry, to put it bluntly, and I plan on taking my anger out on one of the characters using Jareth but I'm not sure who or how would appreciate suggestions from any one, I will not kill anyone unless there not a major character. Must be something evil and cruel.

Chapt.5 'I's a don't know much now Sarah, but I'll tells ya as much as I's can. But fists you've gots to calm yerself.'

'All right I'm calm now get on with it please.'

Her voice was far from calm but the urgency in her voice kept Hoggle from protesting against her demands.

'Ok. Justs after you's left the Labyrinth Jareth began to gets sick not so's you'd notice really but signs did start showing. I was being kept in the throne room you sees, as punishment for help'n ya, doesn't sound bad but cleaning up after those nasty goblins is terrible and.'

'Hoggle!!'

'Oh sorrys Sarah, anyway, he's was mainly suffer'n from wots you mortals call, oh wats was it he's said it was, oh yah he's said it wos the flu ors some'tum like that, any way he's was paler than usual ans I's a known Jareth for a very long time sos I can tell when sometums a miss wit him. Sos he was a cough'n and the like so I's question him about it.

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#* 'Your Majesty is you feel'n well today?' Hoggle asked, fearing the Goblin King would strike out at any minute for asking such a thing.

Jareth, who was cradling his aching head in his hand, slowly lifted himself to meet the gaze of the one who'd dared even speak to him let alone question him, but when looking into the eyes he saw pure terror in the dwarf's eyes which made him feel slightly better than he felt.

'Tell me Hogghead since when did it become your job to check up on me?'

By the sound of Jareths questioning Hoggle knew he meant for him to answer. 'I's was just concerned about your majesties health.' When Jareth said nothing Hoggle continued 'It's just you seem to be unwell your majesty.' Hoggle held his breath waiting for Jareths anger to erupt but it never happened. Instead Jareth sighed heavily and, to Hoggle what seemed like a mask dropping from the hard cold face, allowed tiredness to take hold of him. 'Is it really that obvious?' asked a barely audio able voice.

'No's your majesty, the goblins are too stupid to notice you could drop to the floor and they wouldn't even.' Hoggle stopped at hearing a slight snoring coming from the King, who appeared to have fallen asleep right on his throne. This was the first sure sign that Jareth was sick as never before in the history of his long rule had he been know to fall asleep in front of one his subjects. At that moment one of the goblin guards came rushing in completely ignoring Hoggle and the fact that the King was in slumber.

'Majesty, majesty a child has been wished to the Labyrinth.' And so one had as right behind the goblin three more came in caring a tot no more than 2 or 3. Jareth was still asleep though so no one was there to give the girl instructions on what to do though the Labyrinth would bring her here with or with out Jareth paying his usual sparkly visit.

'Hush yous, nows leave the child here and go.' Hoggle said though he'd actually not expected them to listen but apparently, as it later became clear to Hoggle, the goblins would take any orders as long as it was from someone above them and lucky for Hoggle Jareth had made all dwarf's higher in authority because of the re higher intellect and few numbers. The goblins left, all fairly disappointed as usually Jareth would allow them to do what ever they wished with the child as long as it did not die before it's champion failed and left the Labyrinth as no one had ever defeated Jareth and the vast quantities of goblins was innumerable. This had happened to most except for Toby as Jareth had taken a liken to Sarah and did not want the child harmed.

Hoggle went to the room next to the throne room to gaze into a large crystal so as to view the girl's progress, she did not appear to be trying very hard and Hoggle was sure she'd lose. He went back to the throne room to discover the child making its way toward a still sleeping Jareth. Hoggle ran to grab it but suddenly Jareth scooped it up off the ground to stare at it then he looked to Hoggle with a questioning look. Hoggle explained to him what happened. Jareth merely nodded his head put the child down and left to leave.

'If this ever happens again Hoggle you're in charge.' That was it, and it was to happen often until Hoggle would be constantly in charge. *#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*# *(that was the flashback in case you didn't know)

'So's you sees Sarah that is wats bein' happen in the Labyrinth, now about whys he said you have to come back I don's know but it may have some'tum to do wit that book he's bein' read'n.'

'Yes he did mention something about a book.' Sarah paused, after a couple of minutes she let a sigh but still ignored Hoggles presence completely, a look of worry and dismay creasing her fine porcelain skin.

'Hoggle is he really dieing?' Sarah's voice asked breaking the silence. Hoggle could see tears in her eyes, it appeared to him that she held some type of love in her brown spotted green eyes for the Goblin King and Hoggle couldn't bear to tell her the truth but knew he'd feel guilty if he lied to her.

'Yes Sarah I am.' A/N. Hope you enjoy, its not very long but still. Now if you read this you must review this understand you better. And thanks to all my reviewers especially Cirfia who reviews my every chapter and is slightly insane as you can tell by her reviews.
