Jareth walked rather quickly to the part of the castle that had pictures of his ancestors. There, he saw the picture of his great-great-great grandparents. The original king and queen of goblin city. Looking at the original queen, Elizabeth looked just like her! Except for the eyes. She had beautiful blue-green eyes that you can get lost in. Just like the ocean. The original queen, however, had the purest blue eyes imaginable.

"That is not possible," he stated. There, in the picture, of the original queen, was the necklace that was on Elizabeth's neck. Then he cursed under his breath. Jareth appeared in the room where he once kept Toby, Sarah's brother, and sat in the window.

"Sarah, how is it possible that your granddaughter," he trailed off track. "That she is the true heir of the original queen," he placed his hand on his face, thinking, as he looked out beyond the city. Then crystal balls formed in his hand and he focused his energy on sending them out. It was as if he was casting away the last remaining thoughts and tears, he had for Sarah, but who knows?

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was in school and was irritated at the man who she idolized growing up. The more she thought about it, the more upset she got. "How can he," she trailed off. "Of all the things to say," she mumbled.

"Elizabeth Von Wolcott," said the teacher, trying to get her attention.

"Yes sir," she jumped to attention.

"Please turn to page 394," he glared at her, through the bottom lenses of his glasses.

"Yes sir," she said, sinking down into her chair, feeling small. Then she found her page and read it aloud, as per her teacher's request.

"Now how can we translate that into modern times," he said, looking at everyone in the class. Then she found her page and read it aloud, as per her teacher's request.

Elizabeth approached Mr. Plinsky. "Uh excuse me, Mr. Plinsky," she stated as she approached him.

"What can I do for you Ms. Von Wolcott," he asked her, looking at her with a glare.

"I am sorry for causing a disturbance in your class. It will not happen again, I promise," she said meekly.

"Very well," the replied to her. "Anything else you my assistance with," he added.

"Homework for Allison Mills," she said. "I am taking it to her house after school," she added. He handed her a folder with homework.

"I hope she feels better," he said, with a slight smile.
