Chapter 2- Fine print
Sarah did not know how she gotten out of answering all of Blaise and Peter's questions, but she did.
Maybe because she was too busy being lost in thought and Veela, Jenny and Relina yelled at them to leave her alone, that who that guy was is none of their business unless Sarah wants to tell them.
She went on alone into her apartment after her friends had dropped her off and then left in their own cars.
Hearing voices, she rushed into her bedroom to see Hoggle and Sir Didymus playing cards on her bed and the massive Ludo watching from behind Hoggle.
"Guys!" Sarah cried joyfully, gaining their attention and watching their faces light up.
"Sarah!" Hoggle cried, leaping off the bed and hugging Sarah's knees.
Sir Didymus looked on, his eyes warm and affectionate, waiting for his turn to hug Sarah.
"Ludo hug Sarwah" Ludo said, the lovable big guy still speaking in third person after all this time.
Sarah smiled and laughed, gather the two smaller creatures in one arm and hugging Ludo with the other.
"I am so happy you are all here for my birthday" Sarah, giving them all one final squeeze before releasing them.
"Yeah" Hoggle said with distaste "But too bad that git Jareth had to be first".
"Tell me about it" Sarah groaned, "He is such a pain".
Sir Didymus jumped to the bed then, holding his small sword in the air "If he harmed thee, my fair maiden, I shall defend thy honor!".
Sarah smiled at her friend "It's alright, Didymus, I can deal with him and besides he didn't hurt me".
"Although…." Hoggle began but trailed off, unsure if he should worry Sarah with something he'd overheard Jareth say.
"What?" Sarah asked curiously "Hoggle, if its important, please tell me".
Hoggle sighed and nodded "Jareth had made mention that you still had to fulfill the bargain made so long ago and that the time had now come".
"Well what does that mean?" Sarah asked, her hands on her hips.
"It means" A haughty male voice said from behind "That you have yet to fulfill some fine print of the labyrinth".
All four friends whipped around to see the Goblin King dressed in all his glory, looking quite smug.
"What fine print?!" Sarah demanded "What are you up to, Goblin king?!".
Jareth smirked "Come now, Sarah, only moments ago you had called me by my name".
"Answer my question, Jareth!" Sarah snapped at him, putting heaps of sarcasm onto his name.
"Very well" He said arrogantly "If you insist".
"I do insist!" Sarah growled at him.
"If you recall what Hoggle said to you when you first entered the maze, oh what was it, perhaps you can help me" He said, his lip curling in mockery.
'Even if you make it to the center, you'll never get out again'
"That doesn't make any sense, I did get out" Sarah snapped at him, getting very annoyed at his way of speaking in riddles.
"Because I let you" he said "I had no desire to keep a child, especially when I wanted you to become my queen".
Sarah was about to tell him off about that, but he continued "So I allowed you to mature, but the fine print of the labyrinth's laws dictate, that if you win, yes the baby goes home, but you Sarah my darling, what becomes of you is my decision".
She stared at him, her mouth hanging open in disbelief, but she was snapped out of it as Sir Didymus leaped in front of her "Ye shall not take this fair maid anywhere she does wish to go!".
"Oh don't make me laugh" Jareth chuckled "I am twice your size, Didymus, and I have powers".
The fox did not back down, no, Jareth's comment just made him angry "I will slice you to ribbons, you cur!".
Jareth only rolled his eyes in annoyance and walked around the fox, standing right before Sarah "You will come with me now, Sarah".
"No! Your insane!" Sarah yelled at him "I won! You have no power over me! Go away!".
Jareth frowned "I do not like that phrase Sarah, and you will soon find out just how much power I have over you".
Before Sarah could say another word, her world went black, everything fading into nothingness.
Well that's all for chapter 2, I am sorry if it was too short, I didn't want to reveal too much too soon, but anyway I hope you liked it and I will have chapter three in as soon as possible as soon as I get my one review requirement before I update again. Luv yall! See you soon!
