(Time for the legal mumbo jumbo) I do not own nor claim to have any ties to the characters nor the story of the Labyrinth. Blah blah blah blah …in other words plz don't sue me. As for the rest of you enjoy and review. This is my first attempt at writing a "Laby Fic" so any flames I hope will be constructive ones. Thank you.

Life Moves on but Fears Stay Forever

Chapter 1

One green, the other brown piercing into her. How odd Sarah felt, as if she was that petrified child once again with stonewalls closing in smothering her last breath. His smug glare burrowing into her as though saying, "I've won!" before she could even utter the very line she knew so well.

Waking with her heart leaping in her chest she cried out, "YOU HAVE NO POWER OVER ME!!!" Her mind ran to escape the depths of what was a lined corridor with fun house mirrored fantasy and reality. Deep inside she knew the two worlds had merged as one but what she saw with in the walls of the Labyrinth she kept in the fortifications of her dreams. Locked away so deeply she promised herself they would never become reality again. Haunted by her thoughts the once child turned woman gathered herself for another day.

Troubled by her subconscious flash backs she emerged from her "coffin" readying herself to face the horrors of her reality. Staggering, Sarah made her way to the bathroom. Drawing her self a pool of steaming water she began to calm herself. Waiting for the water to fill she focused on the mirror. Her eyes once bright, echoing her wild spirit, had grown dull and steely over the years. Sarah was only the youthful age of 25 but her gaze was of a woman who had seen much time and its pain. Seeing the water nearing the edge she allowed the comforting warmth to envelope her weariness.  

Soon emerging from the bathroom wrapped in a cloud of steam and a modest towel she welcomed her warm clothes. The cold air bitterly met her skin as she quickly dressed with hair messily flopping about like ruffled feathers. Smoothing her raven locks with a few strides of a brush and some well aimed bobby pins she looked with approval in the mirror and was out the door.
