AN: Hey! So, this is my first Labyrith fic I hope you like it :) This fic takes place 10 years after the movie. I tried to do something kind of unique but I guess you guys will have to tell me if I do a good job! I'd love to hear some feedback or just some comments in general! Thanks guys! And have fun reading.
Sarah walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. She never minded waking up early but day after day, she grew more and more tired of it. Pouring herself a cup of coffee, her eyes drifted to a picture sitting on the corner table. It was one of her favorite pictures of herself and Toby. It had been taken by her step-mom after a high-school preformance of "Beauty and the Beast". Sarah couldn't help but smile. Although, she no longer acted she hoped that one day she would be able to once again.
The toaster popped up two egos. Before Sarah could even grab them, Toby came running down the stairs as fast as his legs could carry him. He snatched up the waffles and the hot syrup from the microwave. Sarah sighed and took another swig of her coffee. Toby sat down and poured the sticky liquid all over his egos until they were swimming in it.
"How did you sleep?" she asked her younger brother trying not to sound as tired as she was.
"Okay," he shugged as he shoved half the waffle into his mouth. "But I had a really weird dream." Sarah looked over and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What was your dream about?"
"Goblins," Toby said nonchalantly as he finished the last of his waffles. "And this guy...he was like a king or something. It was weird because I must have had it before...it was like I remembered something." He watched as his sister's face grew darker. "What's wrong...I wasn't scared," Toby said. He was always trying to prove that he wasn't scared. He was famously stubborn, but Sarah couldn't blame him. She wasn't any different.
"Oh, umm, nothing...I just...that just sounds like a strange dream," Sarah replied as quick as she could. She glanced back at her coffee. Honestly, it had been a long time since she last thought of her journey all those years ago. Toby was only a baby...could he really remember that? Could he remember Jareth? Jareth. Sarah's heart sped up. She had almost forgot how His hair. His mismatched eyes. She felt heat rise to her cheeks.
"...Sarah...are you okay..." She woke from her thoughts to find Toby staring at her with a strange expression.
"Sorry," she gave a small smile and grabbed the keys. "Let's get you to school, I don't think we can afford another tardy for you." Toby frowned and followed his sister outside to the car.
The golden and white barn owl perched on the oaktree outside of Sarah's house and watched the brother and sister walk out to the old car. He watched as the beautiful woman gathered her thick dark hair into a bun and smiled down at Toby. And Toby. It seemed like only yesterday when he was only a baby. Now, he was nearly 11 years old. The owl fluffed his wings. He knew it wouldn't be long before a wish was about to come.
I hope you've enjoyed it this far! I should tell you that the chapters will probably be pretty short
