Chapter 3 – Hoggle Speaks
Sarah sighed sadly. "I guess it was a dream," she mused to herself aloud, "It's too bad." Just as Sarah rose and went to leave the room she heard a voice. "Sarah?" The voice said, not sounding too sure of itself. Sarah whirled around to confront the voice. "Hoggle?" she asked in a weak and shaking voice "Is that you?" Hoggle gave his little smile "Or course it's me, you called you know." Sarah laughed, "I knew you were real!" The duo hugged and pranced around for a moment before Hoggle remembered his mission. "Sarah I have to tell you something" Hoggle said gravely. Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion. Did Hoggle not want Sarah to contact the Underground? Would Jareth be angry with him? "You know you can tell me anything Hoggle, we're friends," Sarah said finally.

Back in the Underground, Jareth's condition in slowly getting worse. With a will as strong as his, anything he wants he gets. Apparently even Death can be commanded. The goblins are running amuck and causing more chaos than usual. With no King to command and/or control them, they have given in to their nature, blissfully destroying everything.

Hoggle had to clear his throat a few times. It seemed the words had jumbled together there and didn't want to come out. Sarah was worried; whatever Hoggle had to say couldn't be good. Look at his face, that's not a happy face. "Sarah" Hoggle squeaked, coughed and tried again "Sarah, there's a problem in the Underground." There, good start. Sarah's eyes went wide, what problem existed that Jareth couldn't fix and why on earth was Hoggle coming to her with it? "Go on Hoggle, I'm listening." At that Hoggle muttered something under his breath about "women" and their impatience. Sarah, having heard this, fixed him with her best "I'm not impressed mister" look and Hoggle continued. "It's Jareth, He's dying Sarah." There, he said it. Sarah felt like someone had punched her in the stomach, she couldn't breathe.
