Now for the replies to reviews from Chapter 4.

wishfulliving89 - Here you go. Saw your review after I had done the first upload, but I added this afterwards. Thanks for the review.

Marauder no. Five – Thanks for the review. Normally, I would try for longer chapters, but these just end where I feel they should.

Ayjah – I purposely didn't remind anyone about him cause I wanted y'all to forget about him. Made it more fun didn't it? Thanks for the review.

Shadow Shauwna – Thanks again. FashionAvenue's review really came out of nowhere, but I'm trying to take the high road with him/her. About my Power Rangers story. I've already posted the first chapter. I'm working to fix the wrong created by the writers of the show. I have to get Tommy and Kimberly back together. :)

I should have said this with the last chapter, but I'm saying it now. Please don't go to FashionAvenue's profile and give his/her only story a bad review just because of what he/she said. He/she is allowed his/her opinion. I am a good writer, and I've got the reviews to prove it.

Now to chapter 5. Finally, we get to what the title is about. I'm going to give you y'all a little history lesson as you read. I'll explain the history of apple bobbing, sorta like what I did last year.

So enjoy.

Chapter 5

Flying silently, he followed after Sarah, in his owl form. So she was looking for an apple bobbing peddler. Did she know the real reason for the game or did she truly think it was only a child's game?

Smirking inside his owl form, the King continued to fly above her. By now she and the others had forgotten about the crystal orb he had tossed towards her. At the moment, none could see what he had done, and of course, that was his plan. So she had not told her friends about her latest dreams nor what had happened after she had left them in the throne room five years ago.

Once he had offered more than she realized, and now he would offer it all to her again. Also, no longer could she hid from him.

He landed on the arm of a lamp post and looked at the Carnival below him. Oh, he would of course use everything he could to his advantage, including apple bobbing.

With a flap of his wings, the King floated to the ground, where he transformed back into his human form. Slowly, he continued to follow them. Sarah would realize today that she belonged with him in his kingdom and not here is this dismal world.

XOXOX

Sarah walked down yet another row of stalls. Where was a bobbing for apples game? There were normally at least five in the entire carnival each year, but this year there seemed to be none in all. Her friends followed closely behind her. Squeak rested on Ludo shoulder.

"Lady, I don't see one."

Sarah turned her head towards the little goblin. "I know, Squeak. Something is up. Normally, I would have seen at least one by now."

Hoggle groaned. "There has to be at least one."

Continuing onward, the little party continued to be on the look for the game. After a few more minutes, Sarah stopped and leaned against one of the many lamp post around.

"I don't get it. There has to be at least one. It's never been this hard to find one before."

Sarah glanced down yet another row of stalls and groaned. Pointing down the row, Sarah moved away from the lamp post. "Finally, there's one over there."

Hoggle looked to where she was pointing. "Well, wouldn't you know. It was in the one row we hadn't gone on yet."

Sir Didymus nodded. "Well, shall we proceed, M'lady?"

Sarah glanced around her. "No sign of him. So why not?" She pulled out her remaining tickets. "Who wants to play?"

Squeak began to squeal. "Me wants to, Lady. Me like trying to bite apples."

Sarah smiled. "Okay, that's one. I've got enough for three, I think. Do you want to play, Hoggle?"

Hoggle shook his head. "I don't want to get wet."

Sarah gestured towards Sir Didymus and Ludo. "What about you two?"

Sir Didymus sighed. "I am sorry, M'lady, but I agree with Sir Hoggle. I don't really wish to get wet."

"Ludo no get wet."

"It's all right." She smiled softly at them and then looked at Squeak. "All right, so it's just us two, Squeak."

The little goblin began to bounce on Ludo shoulder. "Me happy. Can we go now?"

Laughing, Sarah gently lifted the little goblin and place him on the ground. "Of course." She looked at the other three. "Do want to watch or do you just want to stay here?"

Hoggle looked at Sir Didymus and then turned to face her. "We're not leaving you alone to deal with that rat alone."

Sir Didymus nodded. "Sir Hoggle is correct. We can not allow the King to harm thee."

Sarah glanced around them. "All right, but don't look too threatening. We don't want to draw too much attention."

"Of course, M'lady."

"Just be careful, Sarah."

"I will." Sarah nodded and took hold of Squeak's little hand. "So off we go."

Sarah lead her little group over to the stall. All ready, there were two children playing the game. After they had tried for about five minutes, both girls gave up and went on their way. Sarah and Squeak paid the older gentleman standing by the prizes their tickets and began to try and catch one of the apples in the large water filled barrel.

Smiling, Sarah listened as Squeak tried to catch one of the apples with his mouth. He might be failing at it, but he was laughing and seemed to been having fun. She was looking at the apples before her. Most had stems, which was a good thing. Sarah waited till a stem appear in the air and then pounced.

Sarah raised her head with the stem of the apple in her mouth. Standing up, she placed a hand on the apple and let it drop from her mouth. Glancing, at the man she held out the apple.

"I won."

The man nodded and handed her a peeling knife. "Now carefully peel the apple."

Sarah shrugged and took the knife. As she began to peel the apple, Squeak looked at the man and slowly backed away. Once she held the peel in her hand, she handed back the knife.

"Now pass the peel three times, east to west, around your head. Then toss it over your shoulder."

Sarah did as he said, and then turned to face the peel on the ground. "Why do that?"

She didn't see the smirk on his face. "It should have fallen to the ground in the shape of the first letter in your true love's name."

Sarah looked down at the bright red peel against the ground. As plain as day, a J looked back at her. Suddenly, she realized that all had gone silent. Slowly, she turned to face the man. Sarah stood in shock as she watched the older man transform into the Goblin King. Quickly, she looked around her. Everyone was frozen in place, even her friends.

"Now what do we have here." He walked around her and looked at the peel. "I do believe that's a sign, Sarah."

Regaining her senses, Sarah began to walk away. "Stay away from me."

He smirked at her. "Sarah, we need to talk."

She continued to walk away from him until her back met the back wall of another stall. "There is nothing to talk about."

The King strolled towards her. "I beg to differ. We have much to talk about Sarah. And now we have the time. I will restore everything once you have listened to everything I have to say."

Sarah glanced around her. She really didn't have a choice, but she had to try something. "Why should I listen to anything you have to say?"

He stopped about two feet away from her. "It's simple, Sarah. I'm the only one who can help you live the dreams that you've been having, since they have to do with me."

"Stay out of my head."

"Oh, no, Precious. You see I have much the same dreams. I've waited for you to mature, but you still don't really understand what I offered you, do you?"

"You wanted me to take my dreams and leave Toby."

He shook his head. "No, Sarah. You won once you entered the Castle. I asked you to marry me, Precious. To be my wife, my queen."

Sarah screamed, "You're lying!"

"I'm not, Sarah. Think about it. Were you ever in any real danger?"

"The cleaners. What about them?"

The King smirked. "They would never had reached you. There was never a time that you were in danger. I'm surprised that Sir Didymus hasn't figured out what is going on."

"Please just leave me alone."

He walked closer to her. "You don't want me to leave, Sarah. You scream for me not to leave in your dreams. You are not happy here. You've tried for the last five years to fit in, but you never will. You don't belong here, Sarah." He walked towards her and stopped barely a foot from her and raised his arms to either side of her. "You belong in my kingdom. I know you've been to visit a few times, Sarah. You know you feel more at home there than here."

"You have no power over me."

The King smiled slightly. "Oh, I do, Sarah." He bent closer and met her lips with his.

Well, hope that gets you all happy. I'm going to try and get chapter 6 up tomorrow. I want to finish this before the weekend. I don't get the computer really on the weekend so I won't be able to update really then.

So if you please review.
