Before the Labyrinth

----------------------------------

So let me begin with something that I believe to be of great importance.
Disclaimer: I do not own the original concept of Labyrinth, any of the characters, or any of the situations that were shown in the movie. I do however own the situations that occur in the following story and any pictures I may choose to insert into the story. Okay that's it…please enjoy this. (.;
Please leave me reviews if you want me to continue…and please, if you want to leave reviews telling me that it was bad, please don't make them too harsh…I am very fragile. (.; Yea…so…um…I love you? …Bye!

Introduction

Her name was Sarah. She always thought her name was almost too simple for her personality. Sarah had big dreams; wonderful ideas and beliefs that she knew had to be true somewhere. She had beautiful long dark brown hair, and a nice face. She had just turned 15 and was finally beginning to feel almost like an adult. She loved acting, she loved stories, and she loved transporting herself to her fantasy world in her mind.

When she was there she always forgot about the divorce. It still affected her even though it had happened years ago. She just couldn't take it - not having her real mother around with her anymore was just too much. Her mother had been an actress, she had met many famous people and Sarah always kept a book of pictures next to her bedside. They were so beautiful; her mother always dressed in some beautiful gown on the arm of a famous man. Sarah always dreamed that would happen to her. She thought it looked like a wonderful way to live and so she tried acting as much as possible.

The only thing that got in her way most of the time was her stepmother. She hated her more often than not. If Sarah came home late, she would be lectured by her stepmother. If Sarah forgot to do her chores, she would be lectured by her stepmother. If Sarah dazed off in the middle of class and forgot to do her homework or her test, she would be lectured by her stepmother. She hated all the lecturing. And recently her father and stepmother were going to have a baby. That's right, her stepmother was pregnant, and that made her even more irritable.

Sarah didn't exactly know what to think about the new baby. She didn't really want to think about it until the time came that she had to. So instead she just let her mind wander and think about the world she dreamed of – the Underground. She longed to go there, to finally meet her love and live happily ever after. Anything, as long as it was far away from where she was. She always knew her thoughts would go to Jareth, the Goblin King…
