8. The book's true nature
Whoops! Her dad's name is Robert not Richard! :oP
Sarah appeared in her old room, which was Toby's. She jumped back and screamed. Everything was gone. All his books, toys, and comics were gone. Nothing remained but the old wallpaper. "But how can I'm here if they took the Labyrinth book?" She went to the closet and opened the door. She entered the closet and found the book in the hiding place. "No." she said and took the book. She went back in the room and placed it in her sleeve. "Maybe he's changing rooms."
She opened the bedroom door and looked down the hallway. All the pictures were gone. She went to her parents' room. Nothing. She checked out every room and found nothing. She was in an empty house. She went in the garage and no Merlin.
"So, they left." Jareth said.
Sarah turned around. She was standing in the middle of the garage and Jareth was leaning against the doorway. "It looks like it." She answered him. She was very sad that they would do this. She felt tears coming down her cheek and she wiped them away. "There's no papers or any clue where they went. Dad might have gotten a new job and moved." She stopped for a moment as her thoughts went to the back of her mind. She was searching for whom she could find and ask. "Maybe my Mom knows."
"That's right." He said softly. "They were divorced."
"Last time I knew she was working at the theater in town and she was with Jeremy." Her mother and her co-star dated for a long time before Sarah left Aboveground. "I bet I can ask her."
Jareth sighed, "Sarah. I think it's time that we should talk." He came up to her and said. "It's time you stop thinking about coming here." He saw her tuned away from him, but he continued. "You don't belong Aboveground anymore. You belong with me in my realm. It will be a matter of time when you come here and see everyone you know dead, because you out lived them."
Sarah knew he was right, but didn't want to listen. She wanted to come here and see her home. She knew more about her world than his. She wondered what to do.
The spell book was left alone in their chambers on the bed. It began to glow blue once more and laughed. "Both of them are gone." It floated in the air and went to the door. It opened itself and zapped the door as it flew open. The guards were dumbfounded when they saw the book floating above them and it zapped them too. They became stone. The book went down the hall and zapped five more goblins. It went everywhere in the castle and turned them all into stone. The book floated outside the castle gate and began shooting at the rest. Soon everyone in the Goblin City was stone.
The book entered the Junkyard and zapped them all. It laughed and danced in the sky as it made its way through the forest. It got the fireys. It made its way to the tree where Didymus lived.
"I say, Hoggle!" Sir Didymus exclaimed. "What is that?"
Hoggle didn't like the looks of this and ran. "Good-bye!"
The book zapped Ludo as he swung at it. Didymus was barking madly at it as the book fired at Ambrosis. Then it got the fox too.
Hoggle turned his head and saw that the book was on his tail. He ran and turned to the right as it fired and missed him. It hit a tree. Hoggle zinged and zaged all through the forest. He was looking for a hole to the Oubliette and found one. He opened the door and slid down in the knick of time.
The spell book continued its way through the Labyrinth and zapped everyone in its path.
Sarah sighed and nodded. "You're right." She pulled out the Labyrinth book. "I found it in the closet."
Jareth said. "We can keep it then." He came up to her gave her a hug. He whispered in her ear. "It's time to go."
She nodded. "Okay." They looked at each other for a long moment like they were telling Aboveground good-bye. She closed her eyes and opened them.
"What the hell?" Exclaimed Jareth.
Sarah looked around and saw the goblins. They were all stone. "What happened?" She touched one. "They're hard as a rock."
Jareth looked at her and said one word. "Cinda."
Sarah's heart skipped a beat. She popped in their chambers and searched for the spell book. "Shit! I know it was too good to be true." She appeared back in the throne room. "I have a confession."
"What is it?" He said as he kneeled down on one knee. He touched a small goblin and it crumbled apart. "That's what I thought. We don't have much time."
"Cinda gave me the book." She replied.
Jareth rose and turned to her. "Don't you know not to take anything from that cunt?" He yelled. "That doesn't matter now. We have to find it and destroy it." The Goblin King floated off the floor and said. "You can come or stay."
"I'll go. It's my fault." She said.
Jareth held out his hand and she took it. They went through the window and followed the stone statues. "Looks like half of the Labyrinth is stone."
When they reached Sir Didymus' tree, Sarah gasped, "No." She saw Didymus and Ludo as statues. "Where's Hoggle?" She tried to look for him, but Jareth was going too fast.
"Must be hiding in the Oubliette." Jareth smirked. "He hides there when things gets rough."
"Figures." She replied. "I hope he's alright."
They stopped in the Wise Man's section. Jareth set Sarah down gently as he turned to the right. He saw that the Wise Man was still not stone. "That hasn't been here yet or missed him."
Sarah looked around and saw a blue light coming around the corner. She pointed and shouted, "Jareth, that it is!"
Jareth instantly made a crystal ball and threw it at the spell book. The book fired and the crystal shattered. "Damn! Sarah, take cover." Sarah hid behind a vase. He made three more and threw all of them at it. The book fired and got two, but the third one got it. The crystal incased it and floated in the air. "Finally."
Sarah came out of her hiding spot and smiled. "Good." Then she frowned as she stared at the sealed book. It began to glow blue wildly and blew up the crystal. "Watch out!" She said as it fired at Jareth.
The Goblin King took a dive on the ground. It barely missed him. "Damn! Cinda must have put a spell on it. For some reason, my magic doesn't work."
Sarah stared at it and said, "I wish that book was destroyed." The book burst into flames and turned to ashes in seconds.
Jareth stood up and dusted the dirt off. "Good job, my dear." He turned around and saw Cinda sitting on top of the hedge. "What are you doing here?"
Sarah turned. She grabbed a rock off the ground and threw it at the fae. "You, bitch!"
Cinda laughed and caught the rock. She crushed it in her fist. "Your subjects are still stone, Goblin King." She formed a crystal triangle and it became a mirror. It showed the goblins in the castle and they were starting to crumble apart. "Oh dear, it looks like they are falling apart." She smiled evilly at them.
"Reverse the spell, Cinda." Jareth shouted at her and held a crystal ball. He was waiting for the right moment to hit her with it.
"Oh, I'm afraid I can't." She played with a leaf. "That spell was a human's and that book was the only thing to do it." Then she beamed at them. She was lying through her teeth. "Or get the Demon Queen to reverse it." She loved causing trouble with Jareth. She was lying about that too. She could do it, but rather not.
Jareth rose off the ground and flew over to her. He was right in her face. "I know a Fae spell when I see it, Cinda." He held the crystal at her left cheek.
She waved a hand at her nose, "Shoo! You've been Aboveground again, haven't you? You smell like an old house."
Sarah had enough of this, "Bitch, I know you know how to reverse the spell! There was no stone spell in that book, because I scanned it from cover to cover." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Either you do what we want, or I'll beat you to a pulp."
Cinda laughed as she turned to Sarah, "Give me a break, Goblin Queen. Your powers are nothing compare to mine."
Hoggle came out of a vase. He thought the coast was clear. He heard voices and turned his head. He saw the three and went back in. "Trouble."
Sarah scoffed, "Please. I wish everyone wasn't stone anymore." She looked in the mirror and saw the goblins were back to normal.
Cinda pushed Jareth out of her way and jumped in the air as he wings fluttered. "No!" She looked at Jareth. "How much power did you give her?"
He smiled and said coldly, "Just enough to mess with you."
Sarah smiled as the mirror fell to the ground and shattered. "I wish you would never mess with us ever again!"
Cinda screamed, "You stupid human! You think that would work against me? Me" She made a triangle and was about to throw it at her when Jareth threw his. It hit the fae in the chest and became a chain. She tried to pull it off, but it wouldn't move. "Get this thing off of me! Now!"
Sarah smiled again and said, "I wish you were banished from this Labyrinth and never return!"
The Queen of the Faeries vanished in a white light as she was cursing at them left and right. "Out done by a human! No!"
Jareth looked at Sarah and replied, "It's about time. I wondered when you were going to say that."
