On the inside cover a name was inscribed to prevent theft. The name was Sarah. Must be my mother, Allie thought as she read. The story itself was the same one the old lady used to tell, which explained why she thought she knew about my destiny. The book was old and well loved, with underlines under favorite parts like Goblin king take this child of mine far away from me, and You have no power over me. Allie sighed as she ended the story. This still doesn't tell me any thing about my mother.
Just as she was about to shut the book, something caught her eye. A piece of paper was taped to the last page of the book. It was folded in such a way that it looked as if it was the back page when really it was attached to it. Allie carefully removed the page and opened it. It was a page from a journal that had been ripped out. It was written by the Sarah lady, her supposed mother.
It outlined how she had made a stupid mistake one night and wished her brother away to the goblin king. Too late did she realize that she loved her brother, but the goblin king had refused to return him and had made her run the Labyrinth instead. Most of the info was about how she met her friends and describing what new challenge the Goblin King had put in her way. The last bit was exactly what Allie was looking for.
"Just believe in me, and you can have everything you want ... everything you have ever dreamed of ... your dreams, Sarah ..." From the very beginning he had offered her mother her dreams. If he is that powerful, to know every thing her mother ever wanted, then he must of known her like no other. He, this Goblin King, had the info Allie was looking for.
"Oh hello darling," Said a woman entering the waiting room. "Do you want to be adopted that badly? If you'd like I'll take you home with me." Allie blushed deeply. She was embarrassed for this woman since she obviously wasn't for her self. She wore a low cut dress with a hairy chest and had hairy man legs. "No mam, I've already been adopted." Allie gathered up the papers from around her and the little red book and quickly left the waiting room.
As she passed the front desk she said, "We have a code GID Sandy in the waiting room." Sandy looked up confused as Allie handed her the file back. "GID what's that?" Allie laughed. "You mean the old lady never told you the code she made all the orphans memorize?" Sandy nodded. "Of course she did, but there were so many I could never keep track." Allie shook her head sadly. "Yah she's a worry wart all right, but you ought to remember this one. GID stands for guy in dress." Sandy gasped and ran in to the main room were all the kids hung out, most likely to warn them.
Not going to miss that. Allie thought as she left. I'll sleep in the park tonight and think of what to do next tomorrow. I better stay in a tree so I don't get caught again. She sighed as she headed towards the park. "I wish I could make a deal with this Goblin King guy."

An owl flew down from the tree it had been watching form. It seemed determined to beat the very wind itself in a race to the park.
