Here we are more Labyrinth. As everyone throws things at me.

"Hey this is really odd, I can't speak with my mouth yet Didymus can hear my thoughts."

"HOGGLE!"

"Sarah! Lets get out of here this is way too weird for me."

"Yes, forward march."

They found it odd once they left the enchanted patch talking with their mouths and the conversation would become delayed as one would think something and expect the others to hear it before remembering and speaking aloud.

"How long have I got left till this nightmare ends?" Sarah groaned. Hoggle looked at her then slowly after looking round him pulled a large pocket watch from his waistcoat.

"I brought this with us from Jareth's castle. You have…" He studiously examined the watch for about a minute, Sarah shifted her weight from one foot to the other becoming impatient. " 9 hours!"

"I can't have used up that much time already. Did I really make the Labyrinth collapse?" She questioned cautiously, not really sure if she wanted the answer.

"Nah, well only for a while. Jareth spent the time since you left rebuilding. Mind you Time became temperamental, she is after all controlled by Jareth and by God is he temperamental these days." Sarah took in these words. Fuming inside, so he had tricked her again, she really was gonna lynch him this time. She nearly called out his name, and then remembering her vow she just turned to hoggle and asked him if he knew which way it was to Jareth's castle. Whilst Hoggle was explaining the route and the perils along it to Sarah, in a different part of the Labyrinth…

"Archie come on iths not that far, nor ith it ath bad ath you thay. Hith Goblinineth witheth to talk to you." The fey seethed inwardly, he could not do with this delays to his master's plans. "Look Archie. If you don't move it this instant I will move you to the castle in a way you do not want to go. You choose." The anger in the fey's voice was evident as it stopped his lisp and seemed to make him tower over the old goblin and block Archie's sight of anything but this. Unfortunately for the fey, drawing all attention to yourself drains on psychic energy which, as much as Slich would like beings round him to think was all powerful, was not. So when he dropped the psychic energy, the backlash actually made him physically flinch. But his task was done, Archie was intimidated enough by the overuse of power to follow Slich wherever Slich wished him to go.

Meanwhile in Jareth's castle…

"Stupid Labyrinth, stupid me, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid."

The goblins in the castle were all steering clear of Jareth, since he had died his hair red and black within the last half hour he was scarier than ever. He was brooding over Sarah, Wyrd had come to him just before he had wished her brother away and told him that his next challenger was to be his bride, but not for some time. He had raged when he heard this because he had been watching Sarah for some time and wished her to be his bride. How overjoyed he had been when she had been his latest challenger, and an equal and worthy opponent. But then when she would not stay and left. He had been heart broken.

Now he waited for the return of his fey lord with the strange goblin bird hybrid.

As he did he vowed to himself to leave Sarah alone as she battled with the Labyrinth, only checking on her progress every hour by appearing wherever she was.

Ok sorry for the short chapter but I need to cut off there to start where I want to in the next chapter.
