Labyrinth, such as Sarah and Jareth. So yeah.duh.
Here Lies Sarah Henson Devoted Wife, Mother, Dreamer And Writer.
The funeral passed by in a blur, Laura just couldn't believe that her mother was gone. It wasn't fair. Now who would be around for her to talk to, her mother was the only person who really understood her. Her father was always away on business trips and such, and her older brother treated her like she was invisible. Sometimes she wished that she could disappear, or go off to some distant magical land. Anything would be better than reality. With her father away so much, the children would have to move in with their grandparents, nothing could be worse. Laura just wanted to run away, but she didn't know how.
"Laura? Laura are you up there, come down." her grandmother called from the bottom of the stairs.
Unhurriedly, Laura came downstairs. She didn't feel like dealing with them right now. She just wanted to retreat into her books and never come out. Laura looked much like her mother did at her age; some would even think they were twins. Her long brown hair flowed over her shoulders, and her dark eyes could pierce into your soul.
"Your grandfather and I are going out tonight," the women said, putting her earrings on. "You and your brother will be fine at home, right?"
"Yes Grandmother," it had only been six months since her mother died and her grandmother had all ready moved on. Laura had a feeling that the women never liked the girl.
"Ok," she smiled, giving the girl a kiss on the cheek. "You know, it wouldn't kill you to go out."
"Leave her alone," her grandfather said chuckling, coming up from behind her. "She's like her mother, loves to stay home and read. Takes of the stress of raising them."
Her mother.just the mention of it hurt.
Her grandmother rolled her eyes slightly. Yes, she never really loved Sarah like a daughter.
"Speaking of your mother, I found one of her old books. Thought you might want it," her grandmother said, handing her a small red book. It was called the Labyrinth.
"Thanks Grandmother," she remembered her mother telling her that this was one of her favorite books. Her mother could almost recite the whole thing.
"We'll be home late dear, don't wait up," they said as they left.
Laura walked over to the living room and plopped down on the couch, and opened the book. Her mother had told Laura her own rendition of the Labyrinth so many times, that the book seemed familiar. She wished her mother were there with her to share it with her.
"I'm going out runt," her brother said putting his jacket on. Rain poured down, and thunder boomed overhead. He was a tall dark haired boy, handsome in the tough guy kind of way.
"But Drew," she whined. Ever since her mother died she hated her brother leaving her side for some reason.
The boy huffed. "Laura give me a break, I'm going out. Just stay home and read your dumb books."
"You know someday I may disappear, and you'd never notice."
"Well that would be wonderful wouldn't it?" the boy said sarcastically. "Maybe you'll go to the goblin city, like the one mom told us about. You'd fit in perfectly."
"Maybe I will!"
"I'd have to wish you there of course," since the mother had died, the boy could be malicious. "Hmmm.. should I? What was it that I was supposed to say? I wish the goblins would come and take you away right now!" He chuckled and walked out.
"Funny Drew," she huffed and stomped upstairs. Flinging her bedroom door open, Laura was met face to face with a tall blond haired man, and screamed.
