A/N: Basically what the title and summary says Sarah likes to play games XD enjoy.

Fun and Games

Sarah enjoyed her games she played them with many boys in the village and was frowned upon by the women folk because of it, but there was one boy in particular that had caught her eye, it was not because he was the handsomest or the bravest or anything like that but it was because he unlike the others seemed to have no interest in her. This confused Sarah as she knew that with her sisters' help she would remain young and beautiful forever what man would not want her. It was with this in mind that she was now pondering how could she get the young Thackery Binx to play with her. She had tried many times before to gain his attention and now she was fixated with him and was determined to make him want her.

Determined Sarah Sanderson walked from the room she shared with her sisters to the lower level of their house to greet her sisters, before setting out to the village.

"Good morning Winnie, Mary." Sarah greeted as she strode to the door, cloak but not broom in hand.

"Good morning Sarah." Mary, the middle sister, returned as she set about eating a large plate full of food. Not truly noticing her younger sister's unusual behaviour, she was not her usually bubbly and chirpy self.

"Is something the matter sister Sarah," Winifred, the eldest, asked Sarah as she set about making her own food for breakfast. "we do not need more children yet, where are you going?

Fearing that the jig was up Sarah smiled brightly before asking "Why would something be the matter Winnie I was merely going for a stroll before breakfast."

Not quite believing her sister Winifred gave Sarah an appraising look before nodding her head slightly taking note of the strained smile on her sister's face. False like she didn't really mean it.

"Hmm, very well. Go and do whatever secretive business that has kept thee from thy breakfast and our company sister Sarah but be back before noon." Winifred said her tone of voice leaving no room for argument.

"Yes Winnie." Sarah beamed as she hurriedly opened the door and rushed out of it into the cold morning air.

"That girl." Winifred muttered affectionately as she turned back to her meal.

Sarah quickly wrapped her cape around her shoulders as she exits her family's home. She picked her way carefully through the forest till she reaches the river just on the other side of the fields right before the forest's edge. Smiling she moved forward only to stop in her tracks at the sound of a low rumbling growl. Sarah abruptly stopped and turned around scanning the woods for whatever made the sound.

"Mary?" Sarah called hesitantly as her eyes dated nervously. "Winnie?"She calls again silently praying that it was her sisters playing a trick on her and not something far more sinister. The answer to Sarah's terrified calls was a thundering howl as a great black wolf leapt from the tree line and bounded towards Sarah. With a scream of fright Sarah turned and ran as fast as her feet could carry her towards the edge of the woods hoping that the wolf would not follow her. Her hopes were in vain. The wolf upon seeing its prey fleeing gave a snarl before pursuing. Sarah screamed as she looked behind her to see the wolf chasing her, she turned her head back just in time to see the tree branch before it hit her in the neck, because of the speed at which she was running Sarah failed to stop or evade the tree branch and thus was sent careening to the ground. The wolf slowed down to a trot as it saw Sarah fall. Sarah groaned and gasped for air as she clawed at the ground attempting to sit up. Suddenly remembering the wolf Sarah spun over onto her back and looked into the snarling face of death, closed her eyes and waited for it to kill her. Sarah did not, however, feel the wolf's teeth close around her neck and snap it with one crunch of its massive jaws. The wolf, however, let out a whimper instead of a growl, Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion and the winced as she felt a rock hit the back of her head.

"Ouch!" Sarah yelled as she lifted her hand to touch the bump. She watched on amazed as the wolf turned to leave and scampered off back into the woods. Sarah turned her head to see her rescuer coming towards her his hand outstretched. Sarah took the time to take in the features of her rescuer, long mousy brown hair tied back away from his face, blue eyes framed by a child like face filled with concern. It was him, Thackery Binx.

"Art thou alright?" Thackery asked as he ran towards Sarah's fallen form. "forgive me for hitting thee I was aiming for the wolf."

Thackery then offered Sarah a charming smile that she felt deep in her gut and she doubted that he knew what he did to her. Sarah carefully took the hand that was reaching for her and allowed Thackery to pull her up.

"I thank thee," Sarah whispered as Thackery pulled her up to his level. "I do not know what I would have done without thee."

"Tis alright I just did what anyone would have done."

"Still I thank thee." Sarah said demurely as she blushed appropriately.

"Come to my house where I can tend to that wound."

"Wound? what wound?" Sarah asked innocently as she gazed up into Thackery's face.

"That one." Thackery pointed out as he gently took Sarah 's elbow in his hand, staining his fingers with the blood that was slowly dribbling down it. Sarah gasped.

"Oh no Winnie will kill me." Sarah lamented as she looked at the hole in her dress.

"Fear not my mother sews I'm sure she would not mind lending thee some thread."

"Thou art too kind, might I know the name of my saviour."

Thackery smiled before saying "Thackery Binx. and you?"

"Sarah, Sarah Sanderson."

"A lovely name for a lovely lady." Thackery replied.

Sarah blushed at his words and ducked her head "I thank thee."

"Come let us away." Thackery said as he took Sarah's arm and led her to the village.

A/N: Yes its kinda short but I plan to continue it till you all love Sarah/Thackery. lol XD
