Odd dreams
Sarah stared into the mismatched eyes of the goblin king. His white attire stunning her against the light of the ruins. "Fear me, love me, and I will be your slave." He whispered. He walked closer, his eyes boring into hers. She took a step forward saying. "You have no power over me." The goblin king frowned and threw the crystal in the air as the ground broke under their feet and she fell back into her own world.
Sarah Williams woke suddenly to the blaring of an alarm clock. Batting at it, she sank into the pillows once more. It had been two years since Jareth had stolen her little brother and made her go through the labyrinth. A knock on her door brought her back to the present. "Sarah! Are you up? You need to get ready for school!" her stepmother called through the door.
Alright, I'm coming! Sarah called. While things where a little better between her and her stepmother, they were still awkward at times. She sighed again and got dressed. School, ugh for once I wish…no stop! Remember last time you wished something. She thought agitated. Coming out of her room she heading down the stairs and into the kitchen smelling something like eggs with garlic and bacon. Forgetting her weird dream/memory, she sat down and wolfed down her breakfast. Standing up she half grinned at her stepmother and ran to the door. Grabbing her backpack she rushed out and headed to the bus to school.
School, as ever, was boring, except for her drama class at the end of the day. This was the only thing that kept Sarah in school. She walked briskly to the drama room feeling the excitement fill her up and give her new energy. Today they were going to find out what the new play was. Rushing into the class room, she hurriedly sat in her seat and waited. The class room talk buzzed around her but she tuned it out and let her mind wonder. She started humming a tune to herself, about halfway through she stopped and realized it was the song Jareth had sung to her in the ballroom. Mad and surprised she looked up and was filled with new hope. The teacher, Mrs. Lancer, raised her hands to quiet the class. "Alright everyone, listen up!" she said in her no nonsense, pay attention voice. "We're doing a play next week, its called Labyrinth." Sarah's heart sunk, and sunk hard, into her stomach. It's never going to let me go is it? Ill never be free of that story. Her inner voice whined. As the teacher talked on about the play, Sarah was trying to fight off a sudden headache. After what felt like hours the teacher clapped her hands and ended class. Sarah got up with a grateful sigh, grabbing her bag she walked toward the door. But she stopped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Dearie do you have a minuet?" Inwardly dreading what she was going to say, Sarah filled her eyes with a forced hope. "Yes Mrs. Lancer?" she said, laying a think layer of surprise and excited hope."Well, I heard that you love The Labyrinth, and know it by heart. Will you play the main character?" she asked sweetly. Sarah tried to keep her heart from falling through her stomach. Outwardly she smiled, putting on a new fake layer of excitement and surprise. "Mrs. Lancer, thank you!" She said practically hopping. Inwardly she was screaming to leave, go home, and sulk. Mrs. Lancer smiled again and waved her off. "Better get going before the bus leaves without you drear." Sarah pretended to be happy on her way to the bus just in case Mrs. Lancer was watching. When she finally got to her seat, she slouched down and sulked to her hearts content. Looking down, she tried to think about what she would do. As ever Sarah sighed at the misfourtunes of her life. I could wish myself to the labyrinth and forget all about this place. A small part of her mind said, she quickly pushed the thought away. No. I can't, Jareth would do something horrible again. He's evil. But then thoughts of Ludo, Hoggle, Sir Didymus rushed through her mind. I suppose I could hide away with them and not go near the Castle. There's got to be other places there too. But then her family came to her. She would be leaving them behind. Toby's, her father, even Karen, her stepmother, she would miss them. Making a face she decided to finish sulking and sorting through her ideas when she got home. She closed her eyes and too a much needed nap.
A sudden screech of tires and screams woke Sarah immediately. Quickly looking outside, she saw the word in a blur. The bus was spinning straight towards a large semi-truck. She gasped horrified as they collided with a sickening crunch of and screech of metal. As the bus started to roll over, Sarah realized she could no longer hear the screams of her schoolmates. Their all dead… no!! Sarah started bawling, she wanted to go somewhere, anywhere and stay there. "I want to go to the labyrinth right now!." She screamed, then everything went black.
Ok I know its not the best, but it's a strat, I guess we will see where this takes me. And don't worry Jareth is in the next chapter
