Sara Wiles was the perfect daughter, so much like her mother, even at such a young age. Sara was intelligent. When she was 3 her mother left her and her father for a handsome, wealthy actor. She left behind her family. It was a year later, after rather close relationship with Sara that her father met another woman. When Sara was 5, after they were married, they had a child, a son. Toby. Sara loved her brother dearly, but she could never accept the woman as her mother. Because she wasn’t her mother. She was nothing like her. Her father always told her how much like her mother she was. Stubborn, impatient, impulsive, even when he was angry calling her selfish, and uncaring.
It was becoming too much for Sara, she knew her father loved her. But she couldn’t take it. She couldn’t take her step mother trying to be her mother. She couldn’t take the pain of knowing that her father had moved on so quickly. She let herself drift off into books, and plays, and stories. She dreamed of another world. A world of magic. Goblins, a maze. It was a world she’d created in her head, and there… there Sara was loved. At first, when she was young the man in her world cared for her like a father might. But then, then as she grew up and grew older. It changed, the man changed. He no longer looked like her father, but someone else entirely, no one she ever knew… and he loved her.
Sara was a hopeless romantic at heart, not that she’d ever admit such a soft side to herself. She was responsible and found herself caring for Toby more than her step mother and father did… she’d remain sensible… and save fantasies for fantasy.
Looking for a good college, Sara wasn’t going to go far. She’d applied to one that was a distance, never thinking she’d get accepted… But she did. She didn’t leave right away though. She couldn’t leave Toby behind. She’d look for another school. However, when her father and step mother left Toby home alone while Sara was out with a friend, she came home to firetrucks, her father angry and yelling at her, her step mother consoling Toby. The house was fine, save for the kitchen… he’d tried to cook and it’d gone badly. He was 13, but had gotten distracted by a book from what Sara heard. Her father started yelling at her for not being home, when they’d never asked. Told her she was never home anymore to ask. Calling her selfish, and telling her she “might as well run away, just like your mother.” Sara did, she retrieved her things and left the next day before they were even allowed back in the house.
She took up the offer for college at Caelus and has been studying there since.
