Meanwhile in the Aboveground a young beautiful eighteen years old girl with long black raven hair and green eyes named Sarah. She walked through the park near her house, where she used to act out plays when she was younger. Sarah sighed in content as she remembered that she has just completed her High school years and that it was now the beginning of summer. Her thoughts then turned to the labyrinth and her friends and she discovered from asking her father about his family and her mother's family and he explained that she is half Fae because her mother's side of the family was half Fae, and her friends which she made there. She was wearing red shorts and a plain white shirt with sneakers. She walked over the bridge that was built over the river that ran through the park. She sat on the bridge and let her mind go free of thoughts that were running through her head. She thought of how she met her new friends and was happy that her life better off now. Her relationship with her step-mother had become civil and over the past three years she had grown to respect and slightly love her step-mother, Karen.
Then suddenly for some unknown reason she began to think of the Goblin King, Jareth. She wonders what was going on with him now. Hoggle had recently told her that he is now treating his subjects better but still does kick them every now and then. Trying to rid herself of her thoughts of the Goblin King she decided to get up to go home.
When she was about a few feet away from the bridge she didn't notice that she was surrounded until five shady guys came out of their hiding spots and surrounded her. When she realized that she wasn't alone anymore she quickly tried to run. When she tried to run, she accidently bumped into the meanest looking one who looked like the leader who grabbed her and said in a cocky tone; "Well boys, what do we have here? A lovely looking girl, alone in the park and outnumbered." The men all laughed. Sarah began slightly trembling in fear tried to say in her bravest voice, "You better leave me alone or else!" One of the guys said, "Really? What are you going to do?" the guys laugh again. One of them grabbed her hands and were about to make a move on her when she screamed, "GET AWAY FROM ME!" Just then a huge bright yellow light was released from her and sent the bad guys flying away from her only to hit the ground hard. The leader got up with a horrified look on his face, he said, "Boys let's get away from her!" The men agreed with their leader and fled in fear Sarah stood standing in shock. What had just happened to her? Shaking a little from shock Sarah raced home and told her step- mother about the ordeal.
The time was 7:40 P.M. Concern filled Karen's face as she asked how Sarah was doing. Sarah said that she was fine and she began to quickly eat her dinner. After an hour Sarah finishes and goes to get ready for bed. She gets into her room and crashes onto to her bed. And she dreamed.
Sarah's POV (Point of View)
I found myself in what looks like the Underground except there were very few things there that looked familiar to me. I looked at myself and saw that I was wearing a long baggy white pants that reached down to my ankles; with a white kimono top with long sleeves that were outline with a bright yellow color, with socks and closed toed sandals. My hair was in a loose ponytail which rested down my back. I walked to where the tainted light was beaming in the distance. I had in my right hand a long sword and three daggers around my waist. When I got there, I saw five people. One, who seemed to be the leader, was a beautiful woman with a small black diamond on her forehead; she looked about my age, dressed in a raven black sleeves shirt which slightly revealed her breast and crimson red skirt with black boots. The woman's hair was same color as mine and she had piercing yellow eyes. Next to that woman were two people who seemed to be twins, one boy and one girl who looked like they were 16 years old. They also wore dark clothing covered by long black cloaks. The second to last member of that group was a man who looked like he was 40 years old. He had piercing red eyes and long white hair. He wore black armor with a devil sword by his side. The last member was a girl who had long flowing pink hair. Instinctively I raised my left hand chanted a spell that destroyed everything in its path. After that I saw everything disappear into the darkness. Then there was nothing beneath my feet and I started to fall and screamed for help.
I woke up and rubbed my eyes. That dream again? I thought to myself. I have had that same dream for almost a year and a half now. I don't get it. Why am I having that same dream over and over again? It is 10:00 A.M in the morning and I get dressed and put my IPod in my blue shorts' pocket and go down stairs to have breakfast.
Toby, who is now three years old, is eating cereal at the table. My father and my step-mother Karen were also having breakfast. I poured myself some cereal and start to eat it. I started to think about that dream again. Karen seemed to have noticed me spacing out because she asked what was wrong. "It's nothing Karen, just a dream that I keep having." I replied. "Well what is this dream about?' Karen asked. Damn it! I know she's trying to help but she will probably think it's a crazy dream. I thought. "Well um…in the dream I was wearing long a little bit baggy white pants with a white kimono top with long sleeves outlined in yellow with socks and sandals. My hair was in a ponytail which was resting down my back. I was holding a long sword with its grip handle decorated with gold that look like vines and in the center of the guard/cross was an empty circular slot; around the slot was more gold but the gold looked rays of a sun and a couple of daggers." THERE! Maybe that will sum it all up for her. Karen made a surprised but uncomfortable look at me.
I sighed knowing that she would give me that look. Karen was nice and I do respect her but, when it comes to this type of thing I made sure she didn't get involved. My dad who was sensing the awkwardness of the conversation, said, "Sarah dear, what do you have planned for today?" I was happy to respond to my dad instead of continuing the previous conversation, I said, "Nothing today so far." My dad replied with, "That's good… by the way Sarah about your dream I will tell you later about it." I was curious about what my dad wanted to talk about, oh well I will know later. After that I went outside and started my morning walk around the neighborhood. After a few minutes into the walk I pulled out my IPod and put on headphones into my ears and started listening to a song called Sekai de Ichiban Hayaku Asa ga kuru:
The Place where Morning comes first
Look at that... underneath the veil of the dawn
The candle dies out, and they kiss.
At the hidden cape, the two of them lay down together
and listened to the music box of the wind.
I want to hear just a single word of happiness.
You know... since you're always by my side, anytime is fine.
And hey, half of this world is...
Filled with an invisible miracle called "Love".
Without even knowing my name, you invited me to the beach.
This is where the first morning comes to in this world.
You know... people are reborn every day.
So it's okay to leave yesterday's bad things and frustrating tears behind.
Look at that... underneath the veil of the dawn
You can become someone completely new.
I'm living for you now, that's what I've decided.
Also... I've never said it, but thank you for everything.
And hey, half of this world is...
Filled with an invisible miracle called "Love"
I began to think about my life so far. Right now I'm eighteen and I don't have a job right now, and I have friends that I hang out with every now and then. I wonder what Hoggle, Ludo and Sir Didymus are doing right now. I haven't seen them since I turned 17 years old. I wonder what Jareth is doing right now too…Uhg! Sarah get a grip on yourself! He doesn't have feelings for you! I have been hoping that what he said on that day when I defeated the labyrinth I hoped he mean it, because when I first met him I fell instantly in love with him. But every day since that day, I started to doubt it.
