Return To The Labyrinth
Chapter 5
Sarah talked to her beloved friends throughout the day. "So that's how you want to do it?" asked Hoggle. "Yes," said Sarah. "We'll escape with that plan," she said. Then there was a knock on her door. "Who is it?" she asked. "Supper time!" called a goblin.
"Quickly! Get under the bed!" she said. Ludo was a bit of a problem. "Just stay in the corner and be silent okay?" she asked. He nodded. "Coming!" called Sarah to the door.
She opened it up. She smiled. "Thank you," she said taking the platter of food. "Good night," she said and slammed the door in his face.
She set the food down. It was a grilled cheese with chips on the side. "Well, at least it's edible," said Sarah before gulping down the food. She hadn't eaten all day.
Night fell quickly in the labyrinth. As soon it was dark enough, all of them went down the castle wall. They substituted vine for a rope.
Sarah was the last one down. She landed gracefully on her feet. "Okay, lets go!" she said. None of them moved. "What's wrong?" she asked. Her friends pointed in front of her. Sarah looked in front of her. Jareth dressed in white blocked their exit. "I should've known your friends would come to help you escape," he said glaring at Hoggle, Ludo and Didimus. Didimus of course charged forward but Sarah caught him. "This is my fight," she said. She stepped forward towards the Goblin King.
"How did you know?" she asked pissed off. "I have ears an eyes everywhere in the labyrinth my dear," he said with a smirk. "Oh yeah? Can your eyes see this?" she asked. She transformed into the white unicorn. Her long flowing silver mane blew around her strong crusted neck. Her equally long white tail touched the marble ground.
Hoggle, Didimus, and Ludo looked at her silently. "Sarah beautiful," said Ludo. "Sarah, that's not going to help you," Jareth said. Sarah charged at him with her alicorn ready to stab him. She missed. "I don't have time for this," she said. She went over to her friends.
"Hurry and get on!" Sarah said kneeling down o her front legs. They got on her back and she took off at a canter into the labyrinth. It was easy getting around on all fours. It wasn't easy however for her friends to hang on, but they did.
"Very clever Sarah, but you'll never escape me my queen," he said glaring at the labyrinth. He transformed into his owl form and took off after her.
