Regrets…
It had been a 6 months after Sarah's adventure in the labyrinth. That was where she had met her three best friends in the universe, Ludo, Hoggle, and Sir Didymus. They had all helped her get to the center of the labyrinth and rescue her little brother Toby, but yet….
She could never get his face out of her mind. She had defeated him but still she had this funny feeling in the pit of her stomach whenever she remembered seeing him for the first time when he had taken her baby brother. During her journey to the middle of the labyrinth, when she was in that dream with him and all the ballroom dancers. She danced with him, never taking her eyes off of his, and deep inside his eyes, Sarah could have sworn she saw Love in them. But that was ridiculous, the Goblin King, showing emotion like that towards little old her?
Sarah was sitting on a chair, looking into her mirror as she brushed her long dark brown hair. "Oh…if only I could go back…." She said quietly to herself. "Go back where?" A rough voice said from behind her, "Hoggle!" Sarah said in surprise as she saw her dear friend in the mirror. "What are you doing here?"
He smiled at her as he said, "Should you need us….we'll be here. So here I am. So, answer my question. Go back where?"
Sarah blushed slightly, then with a sigh she said, "The labyrinth…I miss you all so much…and no body even cares about me here…but I don't know how I can go back…" she started to feel like crying talking about going back when she knew that she most likely couldn't.
"Hmmmm." Said Hoggle as he scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Jareth hasn't been tormenting anyone lately, ever since you left that is, so It most likely will be safe…so why not? When can you come?" He asked.
Sarah looked at him blankly at first. "Um, Hoggle, how do you expect me to go back?"
Hoggle smiled, "Right through your mirror! Now come on we haven't got all day!" He reached out into the mirror and grabbed Sarah's hand, pulling her into the labyrinth. She smiled happily as she looked around at the place,
"Oh Hoggle, I'm so happy to be back!" She said hugging her friend.
"Me too. But now, we got to go find the others so they can see you." He said as he led her towards an old tree. He took out a pair of keys and put them into a small hole in the tree, and turning them. Suddenly their was an open door in front of the two, "Come on! Everyone's waiting!" He said as he ushered his friend into the tree to greet the other friends she had made last time she had been there. Sara followed the endless path, wondering when they would ever get there when her eyes spotted firelight. "That's them." Hoggle announced as they came to the end of the path.
"My lady!" Cried out the little fox like creature know as Sir Didymus. "You've returned!" Sara hugged him and smiled at her other quieter friend, Ludo.
"Hello Ludo! It's good to see you!" Sara said as she gave him a hug too. "Sara, friend!" He bellowed as he gave her a giant bear hug.
"Knock it off Ludo, you're killing her!" Hoggle demanded as the big monster let go of Sara.
"Sorry." Ludo said as he watched Sara catch her breath.
"It's alright…So how has everything been?" She asked no one in particular.
"Oh it's been peaceful, no goblins have been running about and Everyone thinks Jareth is dead!" Reported Didymus. Sara looked shock at this news, "What?" She asked, not believing what she had been told.
"Oh don't listen to him, he's just over-exaggerating!" Laughed Hoggle as he put his hand over the foxes mouth to keep him from protesting. "I'm sure he's just fine. Now how about some food?" Hoggle asked, trying desprately to change the subject.
"Word has it that he's died of a broken heart!" Piped in Didymus.
"Will you shut the hell up!" Yelled Hoggle taking a stick from the fire and lighting Didymus's tail aflame. Sara watched with no amusement as the Fox ran around madly trying to extinguish the fire that was rapidly working it's way up his body. The others laughed as he blindingly ran into a tree, falling on his back and finally stifling the flame.
"Sara, just don't worry about him, I mean, so what if he is dead? Does it really matter?" Hoggle asked, turning his attention back on the girl.
"I guess not." She said in a quiet voice as her eyes watched Didymus get up from the ground and walk over to the other, tail looking like a burnt bush and smelling like burnt plastic. "In the morning, I want to go to his castle." Sara announced, heart set on seeing for herself if he really was dead and gone.
The other looked at her with surprise, but nodded their heads in agreement. They would follow Sara anywhere, even if their own safety would be at risk…
