Once upon a time, that's how they always start; it's a new beginning, a chance to live again, though someone else's shoes. Oh how she wished to have her own "once upon a time". She was so tired of walking. The desert sun beat down on her, and thoroughly dried the inside of her mouth. Bitter tears streaked down her face, the saltiness only strengthening her thirst.
"Oh child of the wilderness, come, let me make it feel better, I can dry your tears," a voice called to her, she wasn't sure who it was, death, or the nagging sharp rocks under her bare feet. She wasn't sure which one she wanted it to be.
"You run so long, and so far, rest for a little while, child. Let me protect you," it whispered again. It was nether male or female. She fell to her knees, clutching at her sides, she hurt all over. She had nothing but at tattered changing shift and her own caked crimson blood covering her. Her dark hair matted against her face, her full lips split in several places, and her eye lids drooping with fatigue, covering her glass-like eyes.
"That's it dear girl, let me erase the pain, the memories, the guilt," it soothed and calmed her. Its presence flooding over her, making her numb. She lightly closed her eyes, giving into the calmness, letting the newly formed walls around her make her one of them.
"You are now mine, you are now Labyrinth."
The world went black.
Hello, yet again another Labyrinth Fan Fiction. This has nothing to do with my current one, just a little thing that popped in my head. This chapter is purposely short. It just gives a little info, for further things to come. I will say that this is based off of the music video for "Underground" by David Bowie.
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I do, I don't own anything.
Um… oh, ya, please review. Even though I know where I want to go with this one, I'm still open to input from the audience. :)
