When Sarah emerged through her closet she found herself standing
where she had been when Jareth had told her how much time she had left to
solve the labyrinth. She looked to her left and recognized the tree with a
clock that had thirteen numbers on it. She could hear Sir Didymus
whistling for Ambrocious behind her, and one of the wild gang by her side.
"Well lady, you remember where the door is don't you?" Sarah took a deep breath and nodded.
"Sarah!" A deep slow voice called from to her left. She turned around to find Ludo making his way towards her.
"Ludo!" The tall beast came up to her and gave her a hug. With that, the small group started on their way. Sarah's mind was flooding with memories as she walked up to the place where she had first met Hoggle. She could almost see him spraying the faeries. She remembered the one statement he made to her that was the reason she was able to solve the labyrinth.
"You know what your problem is? You take too many things for granted. Take this labyrinth for instance. Even if you do get to the center, you'll never get out." His words echoed in her mind. She knew that the labyrinth was full of tricks at every turn, and without Hoggle's help she would never have overcome them.
"I'm coming Hoggle," She said under her breath. The group was startled when they heard a loud crash followed by many voices.
"Ludo scared!" Ludo cried, walking up to Sarah for protection.
"It's okay Ludo, I wont let anything happen to you!"
"Hey lady, I can take my head off and look over the wall to see what it is that's makin' all that noise!" The wild gang member exclaimed.
"That's a great idea!" Sarah said. She watched as he flapped his ears wildly, causing his head to rise up above his body and peer over the towering wall.
"Hey Lady! It's those Goblin dudes again! They're everywhere!" He explained.
"Well how do we get in?"
"I don't know lady, but I a fugitive in there, they know me as Blinker, so call me Chance." He said
"Chance?" Sarah asked.
"Yeah lady, it's the name 'a the guy who betrayed the wild gang! They gone and made it 'gainst the law to be wild n' free!" he shouted, his fur starting to bristle. "if I use his name we'll have less trouble with the Goblins, most of 'em don't know what Chance looks like!"
"That'll be an advantage! But how do we get inside?" Sarah asked, watching Ludo as he continued to push against the door in vein.
"Ludo stop, pushing the door isn't going to do anything. Hoggle had to have done something to open the door. . ." Sarah said, her voice trailing off as she thought hard about what Hoggle did to open the door.
"So where is it?" Sarah asked, rather frustrated
"Where is what?" Hoggle said calmly.
"The door!"
"What door?" Hoggle continued, his tone remaining rather calm.
"It's useless asking you anything!" Sarah said dropping her arms in frustration.
"Not if you ask the right questions." Hoggle said
"How do I get into the labyrinth?"
"Ah! You gets in- there" Hoggle said, pointing to a section of wall that opened up like a door.
Sarah snapped out of her memory and looked at the spot where Ludo had just been pushing. She pointed at the door and mimicked Hoggle's exact works.
"Ah! You gets in- there" She said, eyeing the door carefully. The others watched her, then looked at the door. After several moments passes Sarah stomped her foot in frustration. She sat down and put her head in her hands and pondered what to do. Several moments passes when she heard what she thought was the sound of the stone doors shifting. She looked up and saw that the doors were in fact opening. Sir Didymus and Ludo were staring that the door curiously while Blinker sat in the pool around the fountain, the small statues arm pointing down into the water.
"Ludo open door!" Ludo shouted.
"My Lady- the arm of doth statue must have been the key to unlock the door to the Labyrinth!" Sir Didymus said, mounting on to Ambrocious once more. The small group gathered close and Blinker volunteered to lead in case they ran into a goblin. He took his head off his shoulders and peered around the corner.
"Hey lady! The coast is all clear! We better get goin if we're gonna get the short dude!" Sarah nodded and everyone followed Blinker's lead. After taking a few steps Sarah instantly noticed that there were several inches of snow on the ground.
"This is odd! There's no snow outside, but in here there is!"
"Ground white!" Ludo shouted, picking up a pile of it with his large paws. He formed in into a tightly packed snowball and threw it at Blinker who was thrown off his feet face first into the snow. He pushed himself to his feet; forming a snowball himself and quickly throwing it back at Ludo who watched it hit his chest wish amusement.
Sarah felt a chill run through her as she watched Ludo and Blinker continue with their snowball fight. She watched in amazement, wondering how they managed to form and throw the snowballs without freezing their hands. She reached down and picked up some snow and began packing it when she let out a shout and dropped it and immediately began rubbing her hands together.
"How do you do that? My hands are freezing and I didn't even make one snowball!" Sarah shouted as she began to blow on her hands and rub them together.
"Lady, we got fur r'member? And we gots paddin' on our hands!" Blinker shouted holding up his hands as a snowball sailed towards him and hit him in the head knocking him to the ground. Within a matter of five seconds he had leapt to his feet and thrown a snowball back at Ludo who watched it his chest.
"Oh! I should have guessed" Sarah said with a laugh. "we better be on our way though." The others nodded in agreement and started on their way. After they had been walking for several minutes Dir Didymus began sniffing the air.
"My Lady, the air is full of the stench of goblins! Shall we fight then to the death?" he cried as he began to bark wildly waving his rod in the air nearly hitting Sarah. She quickly put her finger to his nose and tried to quiet him. Blinker then turned around and joined Sarah in her attempts.
"Yo chill out fox dude! They is gonna year you if you keep on makin' such a ruckus! Now shh! And remember to call me Chance if they go an' ask!" He turned around only to bump into a group of stout Goblins.
"Why would they call you Chance? He's up in the castle!" The lead Goblin shouted with a sly grin on his face.
"Well lady, you remember where the door is don't you?" Sarah took a deep breath and nodded.
"Sarah!" A deep slow voice called from to her left. She turned around to find Ludo making his way towards her.
