Chapter 1 as promised. No Jareth YET. I'm improvising an entry for Our Great Majesty of Hot Pants and Spiky Hair. Enjoy the chapter. If you don't...I'm really, really sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything of The Labyrinth. Just my own characters.
Chapter 1: It's a dream damnit!
She woke up and sat bolt upright.
She felt her damp forehead with a clammy hand.
Se looked around and recognized her own room.
"It was just a stupid dream." she sighed.
Sarah Williams was no fool.
She was old enough to believe that dreams had no special meaning.
So she claimed.
But still, she was a little bit unsure.
It was so many years ago since she dreamed about the Labyrinth or heard anything of it.
The day she became eighteen years old, Hoggle and Sir Didymus told her that it would be the last time they could see each other since she had now reached the adult age.
Sarah could have wept and cried and shouted that it wasn't fair.
But somehow she did none of that.
She said goodbye, hugged them and watched them disappear.
Life went on.
She finished high school, Toby grew up, Karen got another baby,... .
So many things happened in all those years that she didn't really have the time to think about anything related to the Labyrinth.
After high school, Sarah was too busy with her job as a PR-agent. Besides that, she helped her grandmother who owns a flower shop.
Of course, sometimes she had to baby-sit Toby and Mary K.
Mary Kaitlyn was a cute little girl with dark hair like Sarah's and their father.
Sarah loved the girl as much as she loved Toby.
Her relationship with her stepmother had made a great improvement during the years.
Karen and Robert didn't go out that much anymore and they spend the time more with Sarah, Toby and Mary K.
Sarah sighed and stepped out of her bed.
She walked to her dressing table and started combing her hair.
She could hear Toby and Mary K. fighting in the hall before they both ran into her room.
"It's mine! Give it back!"
"I found it first!"
Sarah sighed.
This was daily routine.
Toby and Mary K. were now rolling over the floor fighting for a book.
"Mine!!! Give it back! Now!!"
"Let go of me!"
Sarah stood up and pulled the two apart.
"That's it! Stop it you two right now!"
Toby and Mary K. gave each other a challenging look but they remained calm.
"Now what was so important to fight about this time?" Sarah sighed.
"I found this book! And I wanted to read it! But Toby took it from me!" Mary K. pouted like a 5-year old could.
"You can't even read!" Toby protested.
Sarah didn't listen anymore.
She had picked up the book and examined it.
It was her old copy of Labyrinth.
It looked old, the pages yellow-coloured and it had several creases.
"Where did you find this?" she asked
Toby and Mary K. both looked dull.
"In the attic of course, where you dumped all your old books." Toby answered.
Sarah pushed them both out of her room.
"Go play something and be quiet alright? And the book is mine."
And with that she closed her door before the two could protest.
She sat back down again at her dressing table looking at the little book in her hands.
It felt weird in her hands.
"The Labyrinth." she whispered.
At that moment a sudden breeze blew through her hair.
She thought back to her dream again and suddenly she firmly shakes her head.
"It was a stupid dream and it's all over!"
She opened her drawer, threw the book in it and frustrated she slammed the drawer to close it.
"A stupid dream... ." she mumbled before disappearing into her bathroom.
In all her hastiness she didn't saw a white owl sitting on the branch of a tree near her window... .
Alright, this was the second chapter. I hope it isn't boring but Jareth will be making his entry soon I promise. Please leave a little contribution in the little (review) box. Thank you señorita/señorito!
