Chapter 2

Hi Im Lilly.


The car had been parked out side of the apartment complex for over twenty minutes now as Sarah stared out of the windsheald. After eight hours of driving the sun finally fell from the skin and now darkness filled the sky. Sarah sighed as she tapped her fingers on the stearing wheal, her nerves starting to kick in. "Might as well end it now Sar. Can't get any better the longer you wait." She said out loud as she opened the car door to get out.

When she reached her level she glanced around at the other doors. The hall was dark and the air was stale as she walked towards the door with the crocked 17 on it. She felt her hands nervously shake as she lifts it to knock. Before her fist came into contact the door swung open revealing a young dark haired girl with bright blue eyes staring back at her. "You must me Sarah!" The girl smiled largely as she took Sarah's hand and shook it. "Im Lilly. Your roommate."

Sarah retracted her hand from the girls with a shy smile. "Its nice to meet you Lilly. I still need to go down and get my stuff I just wanted to let you know that im here." The girl nodded as she opened the door wider. "Well let me help you. It would go a lot faster if we did it together." Stepping out of the apartment Lilly walked past Sarah making her way down the hall way.

"So how old are you again? I didnt get much info the other day." Sarah followed close behind the dark haired girl down to her car. "Im 19." Lilly giggled. "Fresh out of school huh?" Sarah walked around her car and opened the passenger door pulling a box from the seat. "Yep. Im here to..."

"Act. I know. Isn't everyone?" She said as she walked around the car and took the box from Sarah's arms. "Besides you need to find a job first, you will need something to do in between auditions." Sarah nodded. "Yeah I am going to start looking I promise. Rent will be on time no matter what." Lilly laughed. "I think I can swing it a few times if need be. I know how it is."

Sarah pulled another box from the back seat before following Lilly back to the apartment. "Im going to try and prevent that. I hate having to depend on people like that." Lilly grunted as she walked up the steps. "Whats in the box anyway. A dead body?" Sarah laughed. "I wouldn't be surprised."

When they entered into the small apartment both girls place there boxes onto the floor. "How many boxes to do you have?" Sarah thought back for a moment then held out three fingers. "Awesome I think I can carry two boxes at once." Sarah looked over the small girl and laughed. "Don't worry about it. I can get them." Sarah smiled as she walked out of the apartment to retrieve the other boxes.

"Hey Karen its me." Sarah sat cross legged on her mattress with a box in front of her.

"Sarah how was the drive. Not to long was it?"

Sarah pulled a few box from the box looking them over. "No not really. The Beatles made the ride alittle faster." She heard Karen laugh.

"Your brother wants to talk to you really fast." Sarah heard the shuffle of feet and cloth against the speaker.

"Sarah!" Toby's voice filled her ear.

"Toby. Miss me already huh?"

He laughed. "Sarah when are you coming back home."

Sighing Sarah placed the book in her lap. "I will be home sooner then you think Tob."

"Who's gunna tell me story's?" He whined.

"Im sure dad has lots of stories to tell you." She laughed.

"Daddy tells really boring stories. He doesn't know my favorite story Sar."

Sarah smiled. "I know but im sure you can tell it to him then he will learn it."

"It wont be the same."

"I know pal but im sure it will be fine. Hey let me call you back im up to my eye balls in boxes so I will talk to you later?"

"Ok Sarah I will talk to you later. I love you and don't get eaten by anything."

"Eaten? Toby what are you.." It was to late, he already hung up the phone.

Sighing she placed the phone on her bed and pulled the box closer to her. Peeking over the top she felt her heart froze. Slowly she placed her hand in the box, pulling out the music box with the dancing figure on in. Sarah hadn't seen it since....since she got back from the underground.

Her heart fluttered as she thought of the mismatched eyes of the Goblin King. Closing her eyes Sarah pushed the thought from her head while she placed the music box on her bed side table. It had been four years since she last seen him. Still she sometimes thought about his offer, most of the time wishing she would have taken him up on his offer. Then she would see Toby smile and the thought would melt away.

Sighing Sarah got off of her matress on the floor and picked the box up in her arms. When she placed it back down next to her small dresser she smiled. There on top was a stuffed wolf the resembled Sir Didymus. Slowly Sarah pulled it out of the box and held it close to her chest as she walked over to her matress on the floor. Laying down on the bed she turned off her lamp before closing her eyes. Falling into a deep slumber.


Short chapter. I just wanted to get this one out of the way ASAP so we can get down to what we all want. Jareth and find out who the heck is Sneaker!

Jareth is coming soon. Even if it is in dream form. (Hey better then no Jareth!)


leannapotter: Thanks for the first review! I sure hope I am allowed to continue this story because I really like it and Im really excited about where it is headed. Oh and my fave. Dracula movie other then Bram stoker's is 'Love at first bite.' "It's a black chicken. Get it!" Makes me giggle ever time!

sesskag: I got the idea from my mother, she is like a gypsy she hates to live in the same place for a long time and she has become like the master packer. Its kinda scary some times. Oh and I dont think Jareth is going to be very pleased. (coming soon)

livin-in-the-past: Truth be told I wasn't sure how I wanted to start this. I have wonderful ideas for the middle but starting is the hard part. Im glad you liked it though.

Review time. Its right there I know you see it..... please. *Sad face.*
