Sorry for another long wait . here's the next chapter!
Blinker couldn't help but feel that something was wrong with Tizzy, for she wasn't quite acting herself.
"Tizzy you alright? You actin' weird" He asked.
"Course!" She said laughed as she pulled her head off her shoulders and bounced it off his head while Sarah struggled to prevent him from throwing himself
"How do we get out of here? We have to go back for Ludo." Sarah said, her voice betraying her worry.
"Do not worry my lady, we shall find Sir Ludo in due time! Come, let us work together! Sir Ludo said, stressing his last four words as he glared at Blinker and Tizzy, obviously offended by their inability to remain civil.
"He started it!" Tizzy wined.
"Stop it!" Sarah shouted suddenly. Everyone stopped and looked at her, startled by her uncharacteristic frustration. "We have to find Ludo, then go back to finding Hoggle and figure out what is going on here and figure out how this 'Chance' overpowered Jareth." She explained between grunts as she continued to struggle holding Blinker back from Tizzy, who was antagonizing him by sticking her tongue out at him mere inches from his reach.
"Why canst thou be civilized with one another?" Sir Didymus said.
"He's right you two."
"Fine! S'long as she stops actin' like a child!" Blinker stated.
"I'm not actin' like a child!"
"You both are acting like children now calm down! If we want to save Ludo and Hoggle we have to work together!" Sarah snapped as she began to grow impatient. She dropped Blinker rather unceremoniously to the floor and continued walking, Sir Didymus following by her side, riding his steed Ambrocious. Tizzy gave Blinker a sly smile before skipping ahead of the group once more while Blinker walked several feet behind rather flustered over what had just happened.
Nearly twenty minutes had passed when the group finally was able to make out a faint light in the distance.
"Look my lady, a light at the end of yonder tunnel." Sir Didymus said excitedly.
"Blinker, Tizzy, who two have been very quiet, are you okay?" She asked. Tizzy went skipping by her bouncing her head, as Blinker came up uncharacteristically calm and quiet.
"I fine." He said blankly. The others could sense that he wasn't, but chose not to question him further. However, Tizzy seemed to be enjoying his discomfort while the others were oblivious to her bliss. They continued walking until they emerged from the winding tunnel, all but blinded by the light. They shielded their faced while their eyes came back into focus and they scanned their surroundings.
"How do we get back to where Ludo was stuck?" Sarah asked.
"That-a-way." Blinker said as much of his energy seemed to suddenly return. He took his head off his shoulders and began to bounce it about.
"Blinker? Why are you so happy all of a sudden."
"I a wild child r'member, bein' in the dark too long takes it's toll." He said, hiding the fact that much of his ecstasy was due to Tizzy's silence.
"That must be why Tizzy has been so quiet too." Sarah said.
"Come my lady, we must make haste and find Sir Ludo before the dastly goblins do!" Sarah followed him as they headed back over a path that lead over the tunnel they had just emerged from. The path seemed to go on forever until they heard distant howls that they recognized immediately as Ludo's.
"Ludo!" Sarah cried as she ran in the direction of the howls.
"My lady stop! It's a trap!" Sir Didymus cried. Sarah stopped short, past experience had told her that Sir Didymus was most likely correct. "Dost thou not notice how the howls do not cometh from strait ahead? The sound cometh from there." He said, pointing slightly to the left.
"How did you notice that?"
"My ears are as keen as my smell. I have dwelled in yonder labyrinth all my life, I have learned of its tricks my lady." He explained. The continued onward and after another twenty minutes they could hear the howls once more.
"Ludo?" Sarah cried out. She saw Sir Didymus ride ahead and followed, and they quickly found Ludo just as he had been after the fall. "Ludo!"
"Sarah! Sarah!" Ludo cried.
"We'll get you out!" She cried. She looked around for anything to help pull him out when her eyes fell upon a length of rope. "That'll work." She said. She walked over to it but as she reached out to grab it something wrapped around her foot and next she knew she was hanging upside-down by her ankle.
"Sarah stuck!" Ludo grunted.
"This is really unfair!" She said suddenly. The others looked at her oddly, Blinker limping on his injured leg.
"I'll get you down lady!"
"My name is Sarah, Sarah!" She said in another futile attempt to teach one of the wild gang her name. Blinker flapped his ears and chewed the rope until it snapped, allowing Sarah to fall to the ground. "Ow that hurt." She said as she staggered to her feet. She tied the rope under Ludo's arms and had the others help her swing the remaining length of the rope over a branch. "Ludo push on the ground while we pull the rope." She said. Everyone did as told and after less than a minute Ludo had been freed.
"Sarah save Ludo!" He grunted as he hugged her.
"Are you okay?"
"Uh-huh."
"That's good! Now c'mon we have to find Hoggle. You're the strongest so can you carry Blinker? He's hurt." She said. Ludo nodded and picked him up while Sarah looked about, a perplexed look twisting her features. "Where's Tizzy?" She asked as she looked around to find that she was nowhere in sight.
