Sarah looked up to find it was night outside. She was now stuck in a dungeon with no hope of escaping whatsoever. Would she ever get out of this horrible prison? Would Jareth find some way of getting her out of the clutches of this maniac.
She looked down at her stomach. Her morning sickness had already brought up what little food she had been fed. She felt great sorrow for her baby. What if she is kept here for her full term and ended up having the baby here? What if something happened to anger Janet, causing her to be killed as well as her baby?
These were questions Sarah just had to know the answer to before it was too late. The sooner she got out of this horrible prison the sooner she could go home and have her baby with Jareth by her side. The door opened and Sarah looked up to see a maid walk through the door.
"Good afternoon, miss," she said, curtseying, She placed Sarah's food next to her. "How are you today?"
"Horrible," sighed Sarah, looking down. "Thank you for the food. My baby will be much obliged for it."
"And I am sure you are glad for it as well, I'm sure, miss," replied the maid.
"I care not for myself," sighed Sarah. "Just for my child. If it were not for my baby, I would eat not at all, save for the small hope of getting out of this horrible place."
"You're very brave, miss," replied the goblin. "May I sit down?"
"Oh, please do," smiled Sarah. "I could use the company."
"Mind, it will only be for a small while," replied the maid goblin as she sat down next to Sarah. "See, if madam should find me speaking with you, I should be whipped and then out of a job."
"Oh dear," gasped Sarah. "Is she really that cruel?" The maid nodded sadly.
"I fear her greatly, miss," said the maid.
"What is your name?" Sarah asked.
"Malya, miss," she replied. "You see, I was a human once, too. Then I called upon Jareth to take me away from my horrible parents, who also abused me. They cared for me not, so I stayed at his castle the full thirteen hours before turning into a goblin. I stayed in his service, though he offered me my freedom on a number of occasions. Only, I had nowhere to go, and felt I owed him everything for not making me go back to my parents, who never even attempted to run the labyrinth for me. I doubt they even notice I am gone, save the fact that there is one less mouth to feed and there is more room on trains and in cars."
"That is so sad," said Sarah. She was already halfway through her lunch.
"Yes it is, miss," sighed Malya.
"Then how did you come to be under the power of Janet?" asked Sarah.
"Jareth and Janet were best of friends at one point, miss," said Malya.
"So I've heard," replied Sarah.
"When I first heard that a human had defeated the labyrinth, I was excited," said Malya. "That was one for the human race, and I was glad that Jareth hadn't been able to keep another child. If the child had really been unwanted, then the human would have either failed, given into the Goblin Kings offer, or would have not even wanted to get the baby back. But when you defeated the Labyrinth, I knew that that baby boy must have been loved greatly.
"Jareth, of coarse, was very unhappy about the whole thing. He had cared for this woman, you, and couldn't believe that she had defeated the ever changing labyrinth. So when he asked me how I felt about the matter, and I told him what I thought, he grew angry and sent me away to live with Janet. He felt horrible about it, of coarse. And now that he knows of how horrible Janet is, he will undoubtedly try desperately to get us both back."
"How can you be so sure that he will come to get us back?" asked Sarah.
"He may be stubborn, but he is a good man at heart," smiled Malya.
"Malya, I promise that if I get out of here, I will try everything I can to get you out of here." Malya's eyes widened and a smile spread across her face.
"You promise?" she asked hopefully.
"I promise," smiled Sarah. Malya hugged her, said good-bye, and then quickly left, fearful she might get caught.
