A/N: Yes, I know. It's been close to a year. But iv been working on something I hope can be published one day and I just haven't felt like writing fan fiction! But I swear in going to try to do better! LOL!

Aboveground: Sarah's Apartment

Sarah had dressed Hoggle's wounds. He was doing much better now than he had been when she had first found him. His breathing back to normal and she had been able to give him some water when he had awoken for a short time around 5 this morning. Sarah fell into her chair exhausted. Her eyes began to feel heavy with sleep.

"Ill just rest my eyes for a moment…" She thought. But soon she was fast asleep.

Almost as soon as she closed her eyes she was dreaming…

Sarah's Dream

The scene before her was not pretty and left her ill with grief. The goblin city was in ruins. Fires were blazing everywhere. Goblins, who were hurt or even worse, were littered all over the streets along with debris of fallen houses.

 "How could this happen?" She though. The city was almost demolished. Sarah felt a cold chill run through her body. Some one was behind her. Slowly she turned around and came face to face with man. He was tall, with long black hair hanging around him and eyes so green they looked unreal to humans. His body was thin but seemed to be filled out from being in battles all his life. His clothing marked he was no king but something ancient.

"This is the future of us all!" He bellowed in a loud voice that shook Sarah to the core.

"Death is a part of life and it always leads to a new beginnings. My new beginning is about to start." His arms lifted and flames seemed to shoot out of the ground. They flew towards her and surrounded her. The flames burned her skin, the pain was horrible

Above ground, Sarah's apartment:

Sarah jumped out of her chair and fell to the floor. She could still feel the pain of the fire wrapping around her. Finally waking up, she felt herself shake uncontrollably.

"It was just a dream, Sarah." Whispered Hoggle.

"Hoggle! Your awake!" Sarah ran to his side. "Are you all right?"

"As well as im going to be I guess." He sighed and rolled over on his side. He looked so frail to Sarah's eyes.

"What's going on Hoggle? Why are you here and what is going on?"

"Sarah, its horrible!" He sobbed. His actions became frantic as he told her his story. "They came at night. We were helpless and they didn't care. They took the city first and then the castle. They locked up all the goblins like animals and…no! I cant say what happened to Jareth! Its too terrible to describe!"

"Who is 'They' and what happened to Jareth?" To say his name out loud made her realize this was all too real. That the place they had convinced her wasn't real, was.

"The Buinglings, Sarah! The Buinglings! There horrible monsters led by an ancient demon that has taken the form of a man." The man from Sarah's dream jumped into her memory.

"Why have they taken the city over?"

"Power. All they want is the power the Labyrinth will bring them. There are other cities in the underground. The labyrinth is just around the Goblin city to protect it. You never got the chance to cross the desert and see the others. No other city has a labyrinth to protect it, which in turn makes them easier to attack. Were the most powerful in the underground and that's what they wanted a fortress to inhabit."

"Ok, I understand why they want the labyrinth, but what happened to Jareth?"

"Sarah, I can't say. I just need you to help me. The Labyrinth is in danger. The Goblin city is in danger. And all your friends are in danger.

 It is time for you to return…

E/N: Well, im not sure if it lives up to the anticipation of the almost year I made you wait to get the second chapter, but im trying. I hope you like it and understand Im a hopeless romantic so you know what's going to happen here!
