Everyone knew of your mission and they wasted no time in getting out of the hell hole they were trapped in. You peered down further into the hallway of doors but also back. Which way would be the fastest way to get out? Maybe if you found a door that would take you back to at least where you guys were last Hoggle could guide you out like he was already doing. Sir didymus began to walk off without warning leaving you confused but what choice did you have besides to follow him. They seemed to know thier way around this place. After all they did live here.

He descended further down the hall carefully studying each door he passed. Hoggle was normally standing next you but it seemed he was falling behind. He seemed lost in thought but you simply chalked it up to him still trying recover from being locked up.

"Hoggle stay close to me. I don't want to lose you again"

He nodded toddling faster after you trying to keep up with your fast pace. Though his sight never really left his hand. How could he give the peach to you after everything you have done for him. You have been nothing but kind and here he was ready to betray you at any second. Hoggle thought of himself as weak for giving in. Who cares if Jareth sends him to the bog of eternal stench he could always get a nose plug from sir didymus if he had any.

Finally sir didymus settled on a door pulling it open. The door creaked as the hinges hadn't been touched in such a long time. The door had begun to grow moss. Though the best part came when it was fully opened. The most amazing smells filled you nose and soon began to make your stomach crave everything that it was smelling. The air that brushed against your skin was warm just like after you had opened an oven. Peering into the most wonderful spread of food had laid there on a long white table. You didn't even notice your hand already had begun to reach out. Since when had you been this hungry. You didn't know but all you knew was how badly you needed the food.

Before you knew it your feet had began moving forward as well the temptation was too great to ignore. The thought of this being somebody's food made the hunger fade slighlty. One bite couldn't hurt could it?

"(Y/N) I really don't think you should eat that. You don't know what is in it and who made it. It could be poison!"

"Oh hoggle you worry too much. Besides its better to ask for forgiveness then for permission"

You picked up a turkey leg and bit into it. You never really liked it but the second it touched your lips every little protest one of your friends made regarding the food fell onto deaf ears. Never had you tasted something so amazing. You needed more. Without thought you took a spoonful of what you thought was tomato soup into your mouth feeling the rich creamy flavor run down your thoart. Your thoughts began to melt away the only motion left was your arm moving across the table to grab a new item before putting it into your mouth.

Everything you tried was better then the last. Why weren't you filling up yet. You had eaten a ton and for some reason hadn't even put a dent in the food laid out. Nevermind that you needed more. Ludo and sir didymus looked concerned. Though Hoggle looked more panicked. It had been another trap. Jareth knew how hungry you would be by now and the jerk used that to his advantage.

You wouldnt be  able to leave the table until you were full. Though the food you were eating wasn't meant to fill you up. It was only there to keep you there. Hoggle quickly rushed behind you taking hold of your shoulders and beginning to shake you intensely trying to get you out of whatever trance tou had been put in.

"Yoo hoo (Y/N) There's only 5 hours left we need to go!"

Strangely enough you couldn't hear Hoggle only focused on your selfish personal goal. To obtain the impossible and be full. It was like you were under water and Hoggle had been calling out you. He sounded so far away and muffled you wondered what he was trying to tell you. Sir didymus rushed to help you he along with ludo wanted to pull you away. Hoggle was about to do the same before he realized the opportunity that was right in front of him. He could simply place the peach in front of you and you would eat it without him having to give it directly to you.

It was the perfect plan you didn't have to know. This would ensure that you would never know. It would all be registered as an accident. He watched as ludo put his hands on your shoulders getting ready to yank you back. Hoggle needed to act fast at least one bite. You just needed to swallow one tiny piece. It brought no harm to Sarah so why should it bring you any harm?

He waddled over quickly tossing the peach on the table. Hoggle then proceeded to run behind ludo and latch onto him pretending that he too was going to help snatch you away from this trance.

"On the count of three you and ludo pull!"

The peach caught your eye. It was round and plump. The pink and tan color combination was perfect in fact it looked almost unreal. It was as if it was painted carefully by somebody. Designed by Jareth to look as enticing as possible. Your hands made contact with the peach proceeding to pick it up. The soft fuzz made your fingers tingle as you brought it closer to your lips. The sticky yet sweet smell made its way up to your nose as your teeth sunk into its skin. Never had you tasted something so sweet.

"One!...Two!.... AND THREE!"

Hoggle and ludo had yanked you back away from the table of food. Ludo had fallen onto his back laying on top of Hoggle. Hoggle screamed for ludo to roll off of him. Muttering curses about how ludo always had to fall onto him. It waa completely unfair how it had never happened to sir didymus or ludo. Though while ludo rolled off of him they failed to notice how your breathes became more spaced. Everything being to spin and double before your eyes. The sweet and savory taste that the peach had left in your mouth became sour and made you gag slightly.

You needed to sit. How could ypu have been so easily tricked into one of his traps.

"M'lady are you feeling quite alright?"

Hoggle looked ashamed he hoped nobody would glance at his face. He wanted to run off as he couldn't stand to be around you after helping Jareth make you fall into a deep sleep. There Jareth would hope to keep you forever. In your dreams a place he had full control over.

"Im so sorry (Y/N)"

You glanced over at Hoggle unable to understand why he was sorry. As far as you knew it wasn't his fault at all everything he had done was to help you

"Hoggle... Oh lord everything is dancing"

You became dazed as your body became more tired unable to even stand up or even move your legs you laid against a tree.

Jareth played with the crystals in his hands before taking them one by one and blowing on them. This sent them gliding through the air towards you. This time he was going to hold onto you and never let go. He made that mistake of letting sarah get away. He assured himself it wouldn't happen again. Now all he had to do was wait as the bubbles weaved thier way through the labyrinth to you.

You watched as bubbled flew towards you. You didn't even question why but it felt so tempting to just reach out and pop one.

That was the last thing you remembered before reaching towards that bubble that beckoned you towards it. And then it was dark
