This is a fanfiction for the movie Labyrinth. I do not own Labyrinth or any of the characters. Now please enjoy ^_^


The day of the funeral was one of the hardest of Sarah's life, and nothing could have prepared her. While the futile tears streamed down her cheeks she watched, with her hazed eyes, as a delicately engraved wooden casket was lowered into the unfeeling ground. Unfeeling... what an inadequate word to describe nature itself at the moment. As one of the most perfect creatures Sarah had ever known was lost forever the blue sky filled with the cheerful sounds of birds perched not far away. It was at that very moment that she realized how selfish her tears were. They were not for her friend whom she knew would find Heaven, but rather herself who would never again feel the warmth of her friends words and friendship.

After the burial Sarah excused herself from any further activities with the others who mourned. Her mind was a blank and she cared not to fill it with the images of another's grief. Yes, it was selfish, but she didn't care.

Staring out the window of the cab she observed the passing scenery. Tree, sign, house, repeat again and again. The rank smell of the interior stung her nose and she wondered if this was a public toilet rather than an automobile. The man driving looked to be in his late fifties, and according to his silence she could tell he was a generous man. Conversation was not something she longed for currently.

It was not long before she arrived at her destination, a small section of buildings and to the far right, a quaint cafe. After paying the driver Sarah stepped out and shut the door behind her. The sound of her heels clicked on the stone road, and her flowing black dress sharply contrasted the more vibrant colors of others passing by.


((I apologize. This is not the entire second chapter of this, but I got a sudden strike of inspiration and had to write this. I'm just working out what to do with it next. Please do review, though, and I will have the rest up by the end of the day if all goes well.))
