Chapter 1 ❂︎︎ Dreams!

Sarah POV

Sara Willams finds herself wide awake in the middle of the night. She still could not fall asleep. Ever since her step brother Toby had passed away, she could not sleep.

You see what made matters worse was the night before that she overheard her parents talking about taking her to a clinic to seek help for her depression. Sara thought maybe it was a good idea.

She had lost her job in town after high school. She was keeping herself from her friends. She could not understand why things happened this way. She fought so hard to be a good sister for Toby.

All for nothing that was what it had been for. Nothing. She once found Toby was kidnapped by the goblin king Jareth. It was her own fault.

She had gotten him back. And her parents never knew about that. She tried to tell her dad about that. But he found her to be insane. That she spent too much time into her fairy tale world. When her mother had passed away fairy stories brought her life. Helped her escape her harsh world. Now she lost her mother and Toby.

Sarah wandered into Toby's nursery. There was a lightning storm just as there had been years ago. When the goblin king first took Toby from her. If only he had Toby now. But he did not. Toby was gone forever. Their family would never be the same ever again. She had left her teddy bear Lancealot in his crib.

Lighting struck loudly giving her the shivers. She picks up the teddy bear. Tears come to her as she holds the bear close to her chest. She glances out the window. A pure white owl flaps his wings trying to enter the room. Her heart began to race like crazy.

Could it be?!

"Sara what on earth are you doing up at this time of night dear?" her step mother asks as she turns on the light in the bedroom causing Sarah to drop Lancealot onto the ground.

"I saw something outside the window. It startled me" softly answers Sarah.

"You need to go to bed. Do you want some warm milk? It could help you get to sleep?" offers her step mother.

Sarah shakes her head no. "No, I do not want that. I will head to bed. You do not need to worry about me" she replies dully.

"Your father and I are very worried about you. We all miss Toby dear. I know you took it hard after losing your mother and Toby" says her step mother.

"I said I will be fine" mutters Sarah. "Good night"

She leaves the room then heads back to her bedroom. She shuts the door behind her. The storm raged out outside. She wondered if that owl was around?
