Disclaimer: Do Not Own Labyrinth at all, hmph
Ooo new story! I was down the beach this afternoon, (I live in front of the beach so it was bound to come up in one of my Labyrinth fics!)and thought this up. I wanted to write a sadder story, and trying different writing techniques so yeah, I hope people like this………(and don't killme for using a former spice girls song, it just happened to fit ok!)
Well here ya go….
…………………………………………………………..
Northern Star- Melanie C
……………………………………………………………
She sat there on the sand dune, still.
In the twilight of a late afternoon, she silently watched as the waves lapped up to the shore. The few people left on the beach walking their dogs and playing with their children, couples holding hands whispering sweet-nothings in each others ears, didn't disturb her in her own reverie as they passed on by.
Taking in a deep breath she looked further out to the sea. Something about the darkness furthest to the east and out calmed her. Then there was the large expanse of sky above the sea, to the south, reddened from the suns dismissal of the day. The lighter colored clouds separated by the streaks of brighter red, even orange one could say, clouds. The smallest accents of grey from an approaching storm, added to the amazing effect to this array of red/orange colours, as the sky prepared for night. In the city one could never see this spectacular master-piece if one tried, standing on the tallest building even.
The sky, this sky anyway, was a dreamlike land to the young woman. The red clouds that often gathered like this across the sea reminded her of a place. A place far away where one can only reach in dreams.
And the sea….well the sea was its fortress. It held its own magic that one could never discover, well perhaps with the exception of the inhabitants of it.
The dark-brunette haired girl smiled at the thought. Grey, warm, long sleek bodies that swam around her. Protecting her, calming her, loving her.
Dolphins. She smiled at events that occurred a few days ago with the visit from her friends. Her only true friends.
Oh she had many friends once. Friends from a magical place. But they had long gone after that fateful night in her room. She never saw them again, she tried calling them but they didn't return. Perhaps it were her punishment….
She got up off the sand dune, dusting sand off her blue skirt. Her hair which hung loose, was flowing all around her in the wind. She made her way to the shore looking up at a few seagulls that flew past, obviously intending to head home for the night.
Looking into the reddened sky, she noted her dreamlike land was slowly fading away, being replaced with a cloak of darkness. Stars were slowly coming out of their hiding places and far away light houses started to brightly blink in the distance.
The stars were another thing that one could not see so clearly in the city. They were bright and plentiful out here. Like the sunsets, they too were magnificent, scattered like…..
Like a path, a path between the stars.
The young woman felt a sense of belonging here, but not by sitting on a sand dune, nor standing on the shore, or even swimming in this vast sea.
She belonged out there. To the dream like place in the sky above the sea where magic existed. A place where you can escape in your mind, body and soul.
A place where a certain fair haired, mis-matched eyed Goblin King sits on a windowsill, staring out. He was contemplating, or was it a look of longing on his face that made him seem so far away.
A place she could never get to, even if she tried. Which she did, but no words, thoughts or anything could take her there.
She was trapped in a limbo of knowing where she wanted to go but not being able to get there.
The dark haired beauty stopped now, looking out to where the sky meets the sea once again and took a deep breath in.
He was lost in his own reverie right now as well, like her, she knew it, could feel it. She didn't know how exactly, but she knew it.
Or perhaps I'm just wishful thinking
Time can do a lot of things to you. It can change people, make them older, make them wiser…. make them realize errors in their ways and make them regret….
If only I could change things, rewind time, realize…my true feelings
To get to that dreamlike place….the Labyrinth
The young woman's eyes started to glaze with a sudden sadness, and heavy heart.
She looked up at a bright light in the sky, the largest star in the sky, the Northern Star.
I would tell Jareth, that I am sorry, for all that I said, all that I did.
"I miss him" She finally said aloud to the bright Northern Star above her.
"Maybe after all these years, after contemplating what happened over and over in my mind…could it be possible that.... I Sarah Williams, are…too late..… but in love with him" A tear now effortlessly traveled, like a silver trickle, down her cheek. "Jareth"
