"So the King gave half of his heart to me, even before he asked me to take my dreams?"
Her mind went back to those last minutes, the last time she saw him.
"Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave.."
"You have no power of me!"
"Yes", Didymus replied, "He is what you humans call heartbroken." Didymus put his paws around Sarah's hand and looked at her with a sad smile, "He wanted to bond with you, was certain you would stay with him and rule with him forever, so he already started the bonding, but you refused him so he could never complete it."
"Why didn't he asked his heart back then? Why wait so long and let his Kingdom and himself crumble?" Sarah asked.
Hoggle grumpily answered "His pride was holdin' him back. You knows him! He couldn't go ask you for his heart, he woulds be laughed at by the Goblins!"
Sarah stood up and paced through her living room "Stupid Goblin King! Letting down his duty because of his pride! Almost killed my friends! When I get my hands on him..!!"
"Please help us Sarah, we need you now" Hoggle begged "I will even give your precious jewels back!" He grabbed a small purse and poured the contents on the floor "Please!"
Sarah knew it meant a lot if Hoggle would even give his jewels to her to convince her to help them. She shoved them back in the purse and gave it to Hoggle. "No Hoggle, please keep them, you guys are my only friends, I will help you, just tell me what to do!"
"Sawah Help!" Ludo gave her his famous bear hug and laughed in pleasure. Sarah was glad to help, but didn't want be hugged to death before she could even hear what she must do. "Yes Ludo!", she squeecked ,"But could you please put me down again so I can get instructions from Hoggle?"
Ludo quickly but gently put Sarah down on the couch and he sat on the floor, also listening to Hoggle.
Hoggle shifted oncomfortably and cleared his throat. "Ahem, You must get to the castle again and stay with Jareth forever." Hoggle said, and Sir Didymus tapped on his shoulder and glared at him for 'forgetting' the other option.
"Does I really have to tell her?" Hoggle pleaded, and as Sir Didymus nodded Hoggle added the other option," You could also give his Majesty his heart back and go back home, but if he finds out, we'll be on holiday in the Bog if we're lucky!"
"Bog smell bad!" Ludo added, again with his hand covering his mouth and nose.
Sir Didymus stood up and kneeled before Sarah "Fair maden, we will protect you through your journey, as we did last time, and we would be forever in your debt if you save us! You will get anything that you want from the King as a reward, for that I am certain."
"I don't need any gift from him! I just want to help you save the Labyrinth and go home again!", Sarah looked at her friends as they stared at the floor in sadness. "No no, it's not you guys, it's just ... Jareth, I don't want him near me, not after what he did last time."
Hoggle sighed and shrugged,"Let's just go, the Labyrinth is crumblin' more each second, we can't waste no more time and the goblins are counting on us."
Sarah wondered for what reason Jareth could do this, he couldn't possible really be in love with her?
He just wanted to trick me, right?
"Just let me eat my dinner, can't leave on an empty stomach can I?"
