Labyrinth: The Return

Chapter 17

"And who are the two men," she asked, trailing off, before she saw a picture of Elizabeth and someone who looked like Jareth and Jared on the wall.

"That would be Jareth and Jeremy Christensen," stated Jared, grinning at her.

"Who tried winning her hand," added Jareth, looking intently at Elizabeth. "It was Jareth who won her heart in the end," Jareth finished, looking up at the picture of their ancestors.

Not much was said, as Elizabeth was trying to take everything into account. It was a lot to take in and to comprehend.

"I'm going to need some time to sink all this in, so if you both can please excuse me," she stated, bowing respectfully, and she went to find Iris.

It did not take long before she was in Iris's study and she helps her out of the corset dress with magic. Then she slipped back into her jeans, off white top, black vest, and slip on shoes.

"Okay dear. Now relax and think about home," stated Iris, and within minutes, when Elizabeth opened her eyes, she was back in her room at home.

"Lizzie," stated her mom, who was knocking on her bedroom door.

Immediately, Liz got her homework out and was just starting when her mom came walking in.

"Hi sweetheart," said her mom, Mrs. Von Wolcott, as she looked at her daughter, who was apparently working on her studies.

"How was school," her mom added.

"It was good. I have English, science and geography homework, so if you can please bring me my dinner, I would appreciate it," replied Elizabeth, to her mom.

"Of course, sweetheart, I understand. It will be up in 25 minutes. We have paninis, potato salad, chips, and salad," commented to her daughter.

Elizabeth's mouth started to moan with excitement. Paninis and homemade potato salad was her favorite during the summer time.

After mom left her room, Liz started on her geography homework that she got out first. By time her mom brought her dinner, she was on her science.

Meanwhile, Jared and Jared continued staring at each other, their gazes never faltering. It did not take long until Iris knocked on the door to the grand hall, where they stood.

"You may enter," said Jareth, who broke the silence.

At this moment, Iris came into the room and stared at the two men. "Your majesty, Jared," she nodded at the twin kings.

"She has returned to her world," Iris added, looking at Jareth, intently.

"What do you mean by, returning to her world," Jared asked, curious at her meaning.
