May bit on to her lip as she slammed the door behind her. She wasn't completely sure that she was correct, and the paranoia of pissing off someone as powerful as him was hitting her hard.
"Mistress! There you are!" Sir Didymus and the rest, including Hoggle, appeared before the young woman.
"May what happened?" the concerned dwarf stammered as the woman continued to stare blankly into the void. Her hand started to shake and her body was growing weak. She took a step forward and nearly fell to the ground.
"Do you know where the castle is?" Her voice was as cold as ice.
"Just beyond thy pile of trash, Mistress." Sir Didymus exclaimed proudly as he extended his sword in the direction of the castle.
"Then we should go." May followed the fox like creature who had picked up another conversation with Ludo, and was bragging of his past adventures.
"I'm so sorry, May…" the dwarf said while looking up to catch her gaze.
"It's alright, It was a pleasant dream." She smiled at the dwarf with sincerity. "But sadly it was just a dream."
"A dream?" May looked down at the dwarf.
"It was place that could have been perfect…"
The dwarf could tell that the young woman was not at peace with what she was doing. Early on Hoggle knew and feared the determination of the human girl, however as she was now he felt uneasy. He knew he was going to have to fight a war that she alone had created.
"Do you?..." the dwarf was cut off by the knight.
"Ah ha! The gates to the city!" The fox-like creature spewed as he pointed his sword in the direction of the large gate that had seemed to just appear out of nowhere.
As they approached the gate seemed to get smaller and smaller, till it completely vanished.
"Say, did you know Sarah?" the dwarf stammered trying to obtain conversation.
"Briefly." There was distain in the young woman's voice.
"Were you friends with her too?" the dwarf said not reading the room.
"At one point."
"But you still remember her, so why aren't you…"
"I hate her." May cut off Hoggle's persistence. The young woman's icy eyes returned and the shaking feelings she held onto early had almost completely disappeared with those words.
The entire gang stopped in their footsteps as she spoke. They were supposed to stop Jareth so that they could remember Sarah and the friendship they had, so why would May speak so ill of her now.
"I thought that Sarah was a good person." The dwarf said looking hurt by the woman's words.
"She is." May cooed and walked in front of everyone, "But I am not."
"You're scary, but you are not bad." Hoggle said in protest, he walked over to the down spiraling young woman.
"Hoggle, I try my best to be kind. But even you must admit that I am not sweetest nor am I the friendliest." She looked over at Ludo and Sir Didymus, "I am the most ruthless creature in this labyrinth, and that includes Jareth! So that's why you shouldn't follow me into this city." A new gate had appeared infront of them, a giant metal knight guarded its doors.
"No one is more ruthless than that barbarian!" Sir Didymus exclaimed as loud as one could.
"Has Jareth ever caused any of you harm?"
"He erased our memories of Sarah." Hoggle said trying to make the young woman feel better.
"And he has dropped quite a few creatures in the bog." The fox said while approached May.
"Not to mention the goblins." Didymus spoke up again.
"What about the goblins?"
"Why they were… they were…" Didymus seemed to stump even himself, he knew of something but couldn't place it on what it was. May looked down at the blouse she was wearing, she had stolen it from a group of goblins.
"He said that his brother didn't get there in time…" the young woman mumbled, "Oh God!" May dashed towards the gates and the knight. The metal knight swung its giant axe, sadly for May, she didn't see it coming.
