A/N: Sorry this chappie is so short and it took me so long to post, but don't worry, I do have the next one already started!

Chapter 2 – A Little Q&A

The next thing everyone saw was the throne room in the castle beyond the Goblin City. Sarah looked around and felt a weird nostalgic sensation, which seemed strangely comforting. She shook it off, though and started assessing the situation. She looked around and noticed that everyone from her Physics class was there, except for her teacher and Brad. She also noticed Jareth's absence. Probably briefing Brad on his little journey ahead. I wonder if I could get Hoggle, Ludo and Didymus to help him.

"Dear Sarah, you think I would actually let them lose in the Labyrinth so they could help him? He has to find others to help him on his journey."

Sarah whipped around to glare at Jareth whom had decided to materialize behind her.

"Then where are they?"

Jareth smiled evilly.

"Where do you think?"

Violent and disturbing images came to Sarah's mind. She gasped in horror. Jareth looked at her and a brief amount of pain flickered in his eyes, before the cocky look was back.

"My dear Sarah, do you honestly think that I would hurt your friends?"

"You didn't?"

"No."

With a wave of his hand, Hoggle, Ludo and Didymus appeared. Sarah ran up to them and gave them big hugs.

"I've missed you all so much!"

"Well, my lady, we have missed you also," answered Didymus.

Meanwhile, everyone in Sarah's class was watching the scene unfold and was starting to feel helpless. Lynn, never wanting to be outshone by someone, decided to grab some attention for herself, especially from that hot blonde man in the poet's shirt. She sauntered over to him and placed her face within inches of his.

"So, what's your name?" she said in a breathy voice. Jareth just backed up and shot her a look of disgust.

"My name is Jareth, King of the Goblins and all of you are my prisoners. You're little friend, Brad, has 15 hours in which to solve the Labyrinth or you all become like us forever..."

"Such a pity," Sarah finished his sentence with a sneer.

"Why, Sarah, you sound as if you're mad."

"Jareth, what do you think? And what's with this 15 hours bullshit? I only got 13."

Jareth laughed, "Well, I'd figure he could use the extra 2 hours. He doesn't seem to be the brightest of people."

Sarah laughed a little at that and Jareth seemed to truly brighten up for an instant.

"That's true. But where do you plan to keep us all?"

"For now you are all free to roam the castle at will."

Sarah smiled; she knew exactly where she was headed. She walked out of the throne room with a purpose. Nobody else seemed to move until Jareth glared at them, hinting at them to be on their way. They scattered quickly. Now Jareth just had to figure out what Sarah was up to.
