Still in the castle

Continued from here.

Sarah looks down the hallway, uncertain. She is alone in the throne room again, and who's the stop her if she decides not to follow Jareth's suggestion, really? Herself, really. She wants answers.

I suppose I should feel proud for what I've accomplished here, but it all seems so accidental. I happened to be at the right place at the right time, just when I was needed.

I suppose this is what Dorothy felt when she fell into Oz when she did.

This is the same thing. The goblins have written a song about me... I told them not to, but they did anyway. I only heard the first verse before my tummy got tight and I had to run away.

Dorothy is always remembered as the witch hunter. I guess that makes me the fairy hunter.
