Chapter 2: Guilt in motion

Several piles of Sarah’s drawings are scattered around her living room. She started to pile them in one box to join her clothes and necessities in one big suitcase. She never dreamed in a million years that she would be packing for a trip back to the Underground. The “normal” Sarah would just lay back in her small apartment and finish up some of her ideas to turn into her novels or stories. Sometimes she would enjoy a day in the park while drawing the landscape whilst adding her favorite characters in it. You could say that her life after the Underground could be described as boring or empty. She still maintained regular communication with her dad, Karen and especially Toby but she knew that she needed to drift apart from them. She felt different, as if she does not belong there anymore. Most of the time her thoughts would drift away to the magical place she once thought was only a dream, a dream full of color, adventure and romance. A day would never pass if she hasn’t thought about the Goblin King and the never-ending what-if question of what if I accepted his offer? Would Toby be where he is now? Would she rule the goblins with his side? Would she have children running around in a castle by now?

Thoughts of having her own family surfaced in her mind, now it seems impossible since I have only two years to live she mused. Gathering her courage she sat down in front of her vanity and spoke the words. “Hoggle? I need you…”

Rapidly blinking back the tears when she saw that nothing happened, she bent her head and let the tears flow.

“Sarah?”

Hearing her name, she whipped her head around and saw Hoggle sitting on her bed. Being in shock, it took a few minutes before she could feel herself speak again. “Hoggle?? Is that really you?”

“Why didn’t you call Sarah? It’s been so long..” replied Hoggle. His hands continuously playing with the plastic bracelet she gave him when she ran the Labyrinth.

Making her way to her bed and sitting beside Hoggle, she grabbed his hands with her own and looked at him directly. “I’m so sorry Hoggle. You don’t know how hard it was for me to just ignore you guys.. But if you only knew the whole story..”

“Well, I have time.. I need to understand what happened to you Sarah..”

She told Hoggle everything; ever since the day she bested the Labyrinth. From her empty heart until the news her doctor told her yesterday.

Drying up her tears as she finished her story, Hoggle soothed her nerves by rubbing her back as she sobbed. “I’m sorry too Sarah, I mean we weren’t angry or anything. We just felt like you forgot about us and the friendship we made.”

She rose from her bed and grabbed the box she packed earlier. She gave it to Hoggle giving him a signal to open it. He picked out all of her sketches, the background of the Labyrinth and her drawings of him, Ludo, Didymus, Fierys and of course Jareth.

“I drew them whenever I miss you guys. It’s like when I could transfer your images from my mind to paper it seems that you’re here with me in my apartment.”

Hoggle picked out her sketch of Jareth, the one where he is draped in white flowing capes and holding out a crystal. It is the image of their last encounter, the one when he offered her dreams and when she refused him. “You miss him too?”

“Every single minute since I came back”

“So what’s this plan you’re talking about?”

“Hoggle I’m going with you..”

Hoggle stared at his friend and dropped the sketches. “WHAAT??”

“I told you, I’m going with you.. I’m already packed and decided so there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”

“Sarah are you insane?? Do you know what he would do to you once he knows that you’ve come back??”

“I don’t care Hoggle, I can’t just live the last two years of my life knowing that he’s like that. Or the “what if” possibilities. I have to set things right, I need to explain –“

“Explain? Explain what??” Hoggle was pacing around the small area, thinking of all the things he could say to her that would change her mind. He knew that once Sarah came back to the Underground, Jareth would hurt her. Death is most likely the outcome of it. Well she’s dying anyway.

“I need to tell him that I love him Hoggle. That I have loved him ever since I saw him that night I wished my brother away.. I need to tell him that I would do everything I could just to erase all the pain. Only then would I redeem myself, and maybe die in peace”

Slightly shocked with Sarah’s revelation and seeing that he couldn’t persuade her into staying, Hoggle approached his friend. “Are you really sure?”

Sniffling, Sarah stood up and faced the full-length mirror. “Yes, Hoggle I’m sure. Take me back to the Underground and bring me to Jareth.”
