I do not own the Labyrinth. It and all its wonderful creatures and characters belong to the wonderful Jim Henson, which is now owned by Disney.


Chapter 1

It promised to be a warm spring day. Birds sang in the trees. Small woodland creatures scampered in the grass. Flowers were beginning to bloom. The bees were buzzing around. Inside a white Victorian house, a little boy with golden hair yelped in joy at the sight of his Easter basket. His father and sister smiled, while his mother frowned.

Toby attacked his basket, while Sarah walked over to see what was in her basket. It would mostly be candy. She rarely got anything more. Well, every year or so she would get a stuffed animal, but this year, there sat nicely in her basket a jewelery box. It wasn't too large, but she couldn't figure what was in it. She glanced around her and quickly placed it in the pocket of her robe. She then turned back to her brother.

"What did you get, Toby?"

Toby turned towards her. "Come see."

Sarah walked over to him. She looked down into his basket. Already, she knew some of the things in it, because she had put them in there. The rest had come from their father. Toby held up a little figure.

"Isn't he neat, Sarah?"

Sarah looked at the figure and almost groaned. It looked like the Goblin King. "Yeah, it's neat."

Sarah looked at her dad. "I'm going to take my basket upstairs. I'll be back soon."

Her father nodded. "All right. He'll be entertained awhile."

Irene continued to frown. "Just be down in thirty minutes. Breakfast will be ready then." She walked back into the kitchen.

Sarah heard her father sigh as she lifted up her basket. Things hadn't really changed since Christmas, of course they wouldn't, but now her father finally saw what she had.

"I'll be back in a few minutes."

Robert smiled at her. "Take your time, Sarah. Just be back down for breakfast."

Sarah nodded and head up to her room. Once she entered her room, she shut her door and locked it. Then walking over to her bed, she took the box out of her pocket. She sat her basket on her night stand as she sat on her bed. What had he given her this time? What was in the box wasn't from her father. No, it was from her "boyfriend." She still wasn't used to calling him that. Slowly, she opened the box to find a pair of earrings that matched the necklace he had given her at Christmas.

Taking a deep breath, Sarah stood up. He had promised to meet up with her and her family at the annual Easter egg hunt at the City Park. Hopefully all would go well. She didn't need a disaster on her hands.

"Sarah! Come down. Breakfast is ready."

"Coming!" Sarah took a quick glance out her window and smiled as she went to her door. She unlocked and then opened it. As she walked out of the room, Sarah heard the soft hoot of an owl.


So begins the Easter story.

I'm trying to get back into short chapters for this. It's so I can update more quickly, and hopefully I will be able to.

I'm looking for a beta. If you're interested, please Pm me.

Now review if you please.
