Chapter 12: Curtain Falls
"Are they ok! Dad! Toby! Are they alive!" she cried frantically.
The female officer looked down awkwardly.
"Im sorry. Robert Williams passed away in ER a couple of hours ago. Your brother Toby is in critical condition, he is currently in a coma. Your mother was the only one unharmed. She is with Toby right now."
Sarah collapsed on to her knees, the pavement scraping her skin.
"No! This cant be true!" her mind screamed.
"Daddy!" she cried out in a choked sob.
Never again would she see him, never again would he hug her and kiss her forehead. Never again would he come into her room at night and tell her that he loved her.
Gone. He was gone.
Her mind shut down. Darkness engulfed her brain and she lay floating down into oblivion.
Pure black. No beginning or end, just black. A great luminous white bird flew into the darkness, its whiteness offering the only source of light. It landed on Sarah's shoulder, floating entwined in the dark. Up it walked toward her face, and stared down wide eyed at the girl's subconscious self, collapsed in the shadows and despair of her mind. A large glowing, wet tear formed in the owls blue shining eye and fell on the lips of the floating Sarah.
Sarah's eyes fluttered. She was lying on the couch in her living room. She looked around confused and saw the female officer starring sadly back at her. The officers words echoed thought her head.
Sarah let out a gut wrenching cry of despair. Tears raced down her face. Her father was gone, and Toby was teetering on the edge of life.
The officer sat down on the edge of the couch and opened her arms to Sarah. She flew herself into them, welcoming any source of comfort that would help ease the pain.
"Shhh." The officer cooed gently, rubbing Sarah's back soothingly.
"Your mother is still alive." She said, trying to bring some light into the situation.
"She is NOT my MOTHER!" Sarah screamed her face blotchy and eyes blood shot.
Two hours later, Sarah stood holding the limp hand of her three year old baby brother. His face was bruised and purple and had cuts and lesions on his arms and legs. A breathing tube was sticking out of his trachea. Machines beeped and flashed, monitoring his breathing and heart beat.
The situation was not good. The doctors didn't expect him to last the till morning. They had resuscitated him on the side of the road after pulling him out of the wreckage.
Karen sat on the other side of her broken son, and clung on to his hand, unconsolably dabbing her red swollen eyes. She lost her husband, and shed be damned if she lost her only son as well.
In the tense silence, an alarm sounded causing Sarah and Karen to jump in fright and cry out in fear as Toby's vital monitor indicated a change for the worst. In an instant, doctors and nurses charged into the room, ushering out the two grieving women.
Sarah could take it no more and ran into a near by bathroom, locking the door behind her. She slumped against the wall and cried.
"What can I do?" She cried
She knew it was only a matter of time until jealous death would claim come and claim her brother.
No she couldn't loose him. Not Toby too. She had defeated the Labyrinth and the Goblin King to save him. She had given up her dreams just for him. She would do any thing to save her brother.
"Jareth!" Her mind screamed. He could save him! Jareth's magic could saver her brother!
Without a second thought Sarah stood up on her knees and said,
"I wish the Goblin King was here."
