I don't own anything!

Five minutes. I had five minutes left to get my brother, but he keeps crawling away. In this crazy room of stairs, he keeps running away and I can't get him. I race after him but he's never there once I've gotten down all the stairs. One minute left. I can't do it. I turn in desperation to the Goblin King.

"Please, let my brother go." He smirks at me.

"Why should I?" I can't do it. I can't get my brother. But I'll do anything to save him.

"Please," I plead. My voice drops to a whisper. "I'll do anything." In a flash, he's infront of me. A puzzled look is on his face.

"Anything?" he asks. But it's not a question. 20 seconds to go. I look down in defeat. I would do anything to save Toby, even if it ment giving myself up.

"Yes," I whisper. That smirk of his is back.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Yes, just please save him! I'll do anything for that." The tears are flowing now. With a snap of his fingers Toby disappears. His fingers swirl and a crystle appears in his hand. Pearing into it, I see Toby asleep at home. The Goblin King hands it to me.

"To remember what you left behind," he says. His gloved hand strokes my cheek and raises my face to look up at him. "You shouldn't cry," he says with a new softnes I didn't know was possible. "Goblin Queens don't cry."
