She walked past the small Goblin houses and laughed when she saw that one was still broken after Ludo had ripped it apart all those years ago. The sky was pink and the City enclosed an air of emptiness. Last time she had been there it was buzzing with activity, the City was full of stupid goblins and Sarah had fought in the silliest battle she could have ever imagined. But now there was not a sound, no goblins, no danger, nothing. And the thought of nothing scared her a little.

As she walked out of the City she found herself in a dark forest. The air was filled with a melancholy silence which Sarah found daunting. Sometimes the trees would rustle and sometimes a bird would squawk in the sky. These little noises frightened Sarah, for she was alone and none of her friends were in sight. She walked further into the forest not really knowing where she was going, but the danger of becoming lost almost excited her. Her eyes were filled with curiosity and wonder. Last time she only had one thing on her mind, but this time she could stop and appreciate the beauties and oddities of the Labyrinth. She felt the bark of the misshapen trees, she smelt the fresh unearthly air and she tasted the fantasy of it all. Yet though it was fantasy, it was all so real.

Something caught her attention. There appeared to be smoke arising out of the trees. She started to smell it, and breathe it, she coughed and held her hand to her mouth as the smoke got closer. She pushed her way through the trees, trying to find out where the smoke was coming from. Finally she reached a house, more like a small shabby

hut with a chimney which streamed with thick black smoke. She looked at it for a while, wondering if she should enter. She felt a little unsure but her inquisitiveness overruled her anxiety. She walked around to the other side where she found a small door, she was only just small enough to squeeze through it.

Inside the hut it seemed to be pretty homely. There were ordinary objects; a couch, a bed, table, chairs etc. But obviously they were all of a miniature size, small enough for a goblin. She walked in further to a room which looked like a kitchen. In there she noticed a female goblin who was cooking something in a large black pot. Whatever she was cooking it looked otherworldly, as she stirred a big pot of green slime. The goblin looked old and ugly, just like all the other goblins, except this one wore a black cape and a pointy black hat.

"Excuse me" said Sarah.

"Huh" the goblin said looking up at her with a rather annoyed face. However when she saw that it was Sarah her irritation turned into a smile.

"Oh hello my dear" the goblin said politely.

"Hi my names Sarah, what's yours" she said.

"You can call me Wanda dear" said the goblin.

"Okay hello Wanda, may I ask what you're doing" said Sarah walking closer the goblin who seemed friendly enough.

"Me oh I'm cooking" said Wanda who took a sip of the green goo with a large spoon, nodded her head and then put the spoon away.

"Oh really, it doesn't look very much like food" said Sarah.

"That's because I haven't added the food yet" said Wanda as she walked over to the door and closed it so Sarah was trapped in with her.

"Why did you close the door" said Sarah who started to look worried.

"Oh, I just don't want any of the smell escaping" said Wanda who walked back over to the pot.

"Oh, so what food are you going to put in it" said Sarah.

There was a brief pause, Wanda looked up at Sarah with a frown on her face, then she smiled. Sarah looked worried, why was Wanda taking so long to answer. What could she possibly be cooking that was so hard to say to her. Wanda looked into Sarah's eyes. Sarah hadn't noticed before but the goblin had bright green eyes that looked rather witchlike.

"You!" said Wanda sharply and evilly before letting out a great cackle.

Sarah gasped.

"What!" she said as she slowly backed away from the goblin she now realised was in fact a witch-goblin and the pot was actually a cauldron. The witch laughed as she walked up to Sarah. Sarah tried to reach for the door and turn the knob but it was locked, clearly with some kind of witchcraft.

"I didn't know there were witches in the Labyrinth" panted Sarah.

"Didn't know there were witches in the Labyrinth" laughed Wanda who ran her grubby finger over Sarah's face then put the same finger in her mouth. "Mmmm…tastes good."

"Don't do that!" said Sarah. "Let me go!"

"Why would I let you go" said Wanda, her voice wasn't pleasant anymore, in fact it had changed altogether. Instead of sounding like a sweet little old lady her voice was hoarse, and manly. Sarah noticed that she had grown to at least seven feet in height. Sarah looked up a the witch who towered over her. The witches emerald eyes pierced into Sarah's which terrified her, so she closed her eyes just in case the witch was trying to hypnotise her.

"Leave me alone" she wailed. "Please."

She felt Wanda's hands grip tightly around her arms, so tightly that it hurt. The strength she applied seemed much too strong for an ordinary goblin. Sarah opened her eyes for a brief moment. Those sharp green eyes still daggered into hers. Wanda's nails dug into her skin making her scream out in pain.

"Help!" she shouted trying to struggle free but the witches grip was too hard.

Wanda looked hungry, she licked her lips.

"I'm going to enjoy eating a mortal girl" she said in her bloodcurdling voice.

Realising there was no escape, Sarah knew what she had to do.

"I wish you would come and save me Jareth!" she shouted.

Wait for it...
