Chapter 3

Her mother avoided her questions about the toys in the shed. so
she decided to keep the book to herself. No use having her mother in
a bad mood before she left. Goodness knows, she was in a bad enough
mood as it was.

It wasn't until her last day at home that she decided to read a
few pages. She had to wait until her mother got home from work anyway
before she left. And she had already been packed up.

So sitting cross-legged on her bed, Faye opened the book and
began to read. It was the first fantasy story she had read and
already the author had her entranced in a world of goblins, fairies,
huge hairy beasts, and goblin kings.

The sound of a car door being slammed closed brought her back
to reality. She sighed and marked her place in the book. Standing,
she prepaired for rhe last show down with her mother.

She glanced back at the book before leaving the room.

"I wish..."

She turned the light off, but glanced back just once more to
the book on ther bed.

"I wish I could live there."

Sarah opened the door and found the house unusally quiet.

"Faye? Are you home?"

She went to the kitchen to fix herself a strong cup of coffee.
Knowing full well that this was the last chance she had to keep her
baby at home and safe from the outside world she'd fought for so many
years to do so.

"Faye?" she tried again, and again she got no response. The
hairs on her arm began to rise. Something was not right. She knew
Faye was still home because her things were still pilled in her car
out front.

She took her cup of coffee with her while she searched the
bottom of the house. The back door was unlocked. Another sure sign
that Faye wa still home. Sarah had always insisted upon every window
and every door being locked. After what had happened with her little
brother Toby... No. She wan't going to let herself think of those
things. Maybe Faye was just listening to her headset or taking a nap.

"Faye?" she tried again, at the bottom of the stairs. She
checked her room first when she got upstairs. Faye always liked
sleeping on the couch in Sarah's room. But no luck. So she moved on
to Faye's room.

The room was dark. She flipped the light switch and dropped her
cup, spilling coffee everywhere. A silent scream came from her mouth.

There on the bed was a goblin, reading the book. The Labyrinth.

A.N Again, short, but still pushes you a little further. But be not dismayed! There's more to come. Realizations are made, friends reunited, and new friendships created. If you like, please let me know, review.
