Labyrinth: The Return

Chapter 13

Elizabeth looked into the ballroom twenty minutes later to see that there were multiple women surrounding Jareth. She shook her head as one of them danced with him and more people were there. She saw Iris on the dance floor and she looked up at her, nodding that it was the right time.

"How may I present you," asked the footman.

"Excuse me, I do not understand," she asked questionably.

"Tell me your full name my dear," he explained.

Elizabeth told him her full name. "Presenting Lady Elizabeth Sara Von Wolcott," he said, winking at her.

Everyone in the ballroom looked up at the beautiful woman on the stairwell as she made her way into the ballroom. Including Jareth, the goblin king.

"Who is that beautiful woman," he wondered, perplexed by her.

Then as the song ended, he walked over to the stairs, keeping his eyes on only her. She was beautiful and mysterious.

As Elizabeth came to the end of the stairs, Jareth presented her his hand, smiling up at her. She smiled back pleasantly, taking his hand.

At this time, the song "As the World Falls Down" is played by the orchestra and he takes her hand, leading her to the dance floor. Then Elizabeth places her arm on her dress and Jareth wraps his arm around her waist.

When the lyrics, "with such sad eyes" comes up, they lock eyes immediately and he is instantly captivated by her beautiful blue green eyes. There was an instant connection.

The night stood still as they danced and it was like they were both on cloud nine. Then when the lyrics, "But I'll be there for you-ou-ou," he dips her low and she smiles up at him as he brought her back up into his arms.

Iris is smiling, as she watches them dance. " It looks like the prophecy is going to come to pass," she stated. Then she walks out of the ballroom, satisfied.
