Chapter 5: In Dreams
Trista walked towards the dark green and blue roses. She reached out a hand to the dark green but pulled back instantly as she felt a pain sweep through her hand when she had touched the petals. She turned to the blue roses and touched it's soft petals feeling so at peace.
She picked the rose and felt the slight sting as the blood dripped down her finger. She closed her eyes only to feel a slight tingling over her body. When she opened her eyes she was in a large room. The room had a large canopy bed that had black and red sheets. Looking around she saw two comfy maroon chairs sitting in front of a large fireplace. Looking over to her left she noticed two open doors that led to a bathroom and a walk in closet.
To her right stood an elaborate glass door that led out to a balcony. She twirled glancing over to make sure she hadn't missed another door. 'Damn, now what am I going to do?' she sighed and a tear slid down her cheek. 'Maybe this is a test. I vow to Rini and the others that I won't give up.' With that she ran towards the balcony.
Five feet from the balcony door she stopped eyes wide as she looked up towards the ceiling. She reached up with one long slender arm her fingers reached toward the ceiling. Starring up at the ceiling was a black chandelier lit with candles, which spun faster and faster. Trista became mesmerized and all she saw was the black depths and became empowered by it. It washed over her body a cold slick feeling. A glowing black light swallowed her hands and ran down her figure transforming her. Finally standing in the middle of a room her dark green hair fell around her shoulders that were covered in black silk, lowering her hand she rubbed her fingers together feeling the silk which rose up her arms to come to a stop at just above her elbows.
Looking down at the floor. 'What's going on?' She gasped and grabbed her head and fell to the floor on her knees. When she finally opened her eyes again her eye color had changed to black. Standing up smoothly a smile on her lips she rose and finished walking to the balcony leaving a trail of black silk behind her.

Serena and Hotaru ran along the stone maze through the labyrinth. They stopped as they came to a three-way intersection. "Which way do we go left or right? It seems like we've been running in circles.
"I know everything looks the same." Hotaru said yawning. "And it's making me tired." As they turned to look down all three of the corridors. "If only we could just rest for a little bit."
"Hotaru we can't rest, we have to find Rini!!"
"We're never going to win even if we make it to the castle we'll never be able to find Rini in time. Especially since he's set up all traps. He controls everything and we can't even transform. I wan Rini back as much as you do she's my best friend but it's impossible and what makes you think he'll give her to us and not keep us here to. Turn us all into little goblins. And where is Trista?"
"Calm down, we're going to get you and Rini out of here." 'You two because I risked to much for you to stay here and I'm... well, already condemned.' "And we'll find Trista and go home. Now lets go... where did that come from?" Serena said turning to find the wall behind them now another corridor.
"Lets go down this one, weird huh? The Bog Of Eternal Stench." Hotaru said reading the plaque on the stonewall.
"Yeah it's always changing."

Nocora sat by a huge door, which had carved goblins all over it and in the center stood the Goblin King. She sat there waiting and occasionally checking on the little brat. Ohh she had been patient but after a few hours she had seen why she had been wished away. It took all her strength not to throw the child into the bog of eternal stench.
She sat waiting for her king to return from stalling the other three girls. "Where is he? He should be back by now. It doesn't..." her thoughts were shattered when she heard a scream from inside the room.
She ran into the room to find the child laying in the middle of the room on the floor. Her body was ghostly white and her once pink hair was now white. "YOUR HIGHNESS, COME QUICK!!!!" She yelled to no one.
"Yes, Nocora. What is the matter." Nocora jumped at his voice it came from right behind her, she thought that she would be used to it but it still made her jump every time.
"It's the child...she's...well see for yourself." She stepped out of the way.
Jareth stared down at Rini as she started to fade. He grabbed her tiny body to move her to the bed but his hands went right through her. "What's going on. This has never happened before...WHAT DID YOU DO!?!" He yelled as he turned on Nocora and towered above her.
"Nothing.... I swear it. I would do nothing to hurt the child unless it was ordered.... Ohh please believe me your highness." Nocora pleaded. "I heard a scream and when I entered the room I found her like this." She cried.
"Alright Nocora, you are loyal to me I will trust you this time." Jareth said as he stood over her. "But fail me again and I will place you in the bog of eternal stench." With that he turned and left her there crying on the floor.
