Chapter 1: sickness of the bones
The summer air seemed somewhat colder as sarah williams made her way to her car. She was leaving the hospital and looked as if what life she had was sucked out of her. Her face was tear stained and her hands were still trembling. She inhaled sharply and thought back to the event that just took place.
Her stepmother had called her frantic saying that toby had fallen off his bike and hurt his leg. Sarah at first was thinking of karen as an overly protective mother freaking out over her child being hurt but...it was much worse.
Toby had went in to get X-Rays done and when the doctor looked at them he saw what looked like holes in toby's bones. He came back into the room and told karen and dad that he wanted to run additional tests and after a few hours he had the prognosis.
Toby had cancer. It was in the bones in his left leg.
When karen told called her stepdaughter with the news sarah immediately told her boss that she had to leave do to a family emergency and rushed to be beside her dear brother. When she arrived at the hospital karen and her father where in the waiting room; karen was crying and Robert was comforting her.
"Oh Sarah they said that they wanted to keep him and start treatment as soon as possible" karen wailed out and hugged her stepdaughter. "But he'll be ok right?" sarah asked looking into her parents eyes. Robert looked down and took a deep breath in before speaking "we don't know sweetie"
Sarah now sat at a stoplight waiting for it to turn green and thinking about all the fun she had with her brother growing up. How they would run around and play knights or late nights when she knew she had class the next morning but stayed up all night with him anyway or when she ran the labyrinth to save him for the Goblins.
She was so caught up in her own mind that she didn't realize that the light had turned green or that she was now crying. She drove down the street and turned in to the small suburban neighborhood her family lived in. karen and her father stayed behind and sent her home to get some rest for the following day.
She opened the front door and climbed the stairs to her room. When she opened the door she found lancelot sitting on her bed where Toby said he left him earlier that morning. She layed down and cuddled the baer tightly.
"Hoggle I need you" she spoke out softly but the little dwarf did not appear. No, sarah had not seen her friends since the night she had run the labyrinth and celebrated her victory.
She laid in bed and thought about her time in the underground. She wondered what everyone had been up to and why she couldn't contact them. She even wondered about the strange Goblin king. "I wish I could see you again" she murmured out before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
She even missed the owl fly through her window. And the little scimering of goblin feet.
