Finn POV:
I blinked my eyes as I woke up. I couldn't remember what happened or where I was. I tried moving but I heard clinking noises, like they were chains. I look down to find myself chained up in a chair. I struggled to break free but it was no use. Then I heard someone breathing, it sounded like they were right behind me.
"Finn?" the voice said.
That voice sounded familiar it was…
"Philby! Oh man am I glad that you're okay." I said.
"Finn do you remember anything?"
"Actually no, I don't know what happened are where we are."
"Well you might be surprised as to where we are."
"Just tell me. I mean how bad could it be?"
"Well… we're in the dungeon…of Aurora's castle."
"Wait. We're in Disneyland? But how, last I checked we live all the way in Florida."
"I don't remember what happened either. It's all kinda just a blur. Look it doesn't matter right now we have to figure out how to get out of here."
"Oh because that's gonna be easy." Wow I sounded like Maybeck.
"Let's just try to think of ways to get out of here." I said.
We sat there in silence for a while. We both threw ideas around but none of them worked considering we're both in chains. But then it hit me, we were both so focused on what happened and trying to get out that I forgot the most important thing. We're DHI's we can go all clear.
"Philby we're gonna sound so stupid right now. We have to go all clear." I said.
"How did we not think of that?" he said.
We both went quiet and I pictured the light. I saw it coming towards me and remembered no fear. But I didn't feel anything different happen. Why wasn't I going all clear? I turned my head around to tell Philby but the chair was empty. I turn around and see Philby clearing from his hologram state.
"Finn come on they could come back any second." Philby said.
"I…I can't." I struggled to get the words out.
"What do you mean you can't?"
Just as he asked that question a tall figure opened the door and walked in. I immediately recognized the green skin and black horns, Maleficent. Philby ran to attack her but with just one wave of her hand he flew backwards and hit the brick wall. Now I was scared as she slowly walked up to me.
"It means that poor poor Finn isn't a DHI anymore." Maleficent said.
"How can I not have my DHI? I've had it since I got the job." I said.
"It doesn't matter. I made a few modifications to the server. In exactly one week you Finn Whitman will die. And the best part, there's nothing you or your pathetic friends can do about it."
Now I was really scared and I knew she could sense my fear getting stronger. She laughed evilly and walked back out the door. I heard the sound of a key locking the door as she walked away. I was gonna die. No there has to be a way to stop this.
I was so focused on what Maleficent said that I almost forgot about the unconscious Philby in the corner.
"Philby?" I said. Nothing.
"Philby?" This time louder, still nothing.
"PHILBY!" Now he woke up but he grunted in pain as he tried to get up.
"Finn?" he said.
"How much did you hear?"
"None of it. She knocked me out cold. What did she say?"
"You're not going to like it."
Willa POV:
Me, Charlene, Maybeck, Jess, and Amanda were sitting at a table in a little diner at Disneyland. We lost our friends, Philby and Finn. We were all quiet at what happened. Just two days ago they both went missing after going on one of the rides. We don't know which one because we all split up to go on the rides we wanted to go on. Disneyland was our vacation away from all the DHI stuff back in Florida and now two of our friends have gone missing.
"Okay, this is stupid. How long are we just going to sit around and wait for them?" Maybeck said.
"We're not waiting for them. We're thinking of where they disappeared off to." I said.
"Well whatever we're doing we have only one lead and that's the text that Finn sent to Amanda before they went missing."
Amanda sighed at the mention of her name. I knew how she felt about Finn not being here, I felt the same way about Philby. But Maybeck was right the only lead we do have is the text that said, "We're being followed. We can't get out. Don't come looking for us I don't want you getting hurt."
Another problem is that Philby is good with technology and I'm better with books. If we had him he could trace from where the text was sent but all we know is the date and time.
"Don't worry guys, we'll find them." Jess said.
"Let's just put our heads together and try to think of where they might have last been." I said.
We sat there in silence for a while and no one spoke up. Then we heard a knock at the door. Who would come to a closed diner and knock? Amanda slowly approached the door and as she put her hand on the knob she looked back at us and gave us a look that said, be ready. She opened the door and there was a girl taller than all of us with golden blond hair in a braid. She was also wearing a purple dress but no shoes.
"Rapunzel?" Amanda said.
"Can I come in?" Rapunzel asked kindly.
"Sure."
She walked in and sat down across from me. Everyone was in shock and staring at her.
"Um… what brings you here?" I ask.
"Well I understand that your friends are missing. My friend, Mulan said she saw them go onto the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride in Fronteirland and never came out. Perhaps they got stuck in there."
"Or they got captured." Charlene said.
"That is also a possibility. I can send in some friends to search for them." Rapunzel said.
"That is very kind of you but this is our fight and I think we should be the ones to go in there." Jess said.
"Uh we didn't discuss that." Maybeck muttered.
"No I understand. But if you need any help just open this." Rapunzel said. She held out a locket in the shape of a flower. It was the shape of the golden flower that gave her powers.
"Thank you." I said.
She smiled and left. Everyone looked at Jess as she was the one holding the locket.
"What?" Jess said.
"Nothing it's just are you gonna put that on or what?" Maybeck said.
"I don't think I trust myself with it."
She looked at Amanda and Amanda shook her head saying, 'no way I don't trust myself either.' Then everyone looked at me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to hold on to it either but someone had to take it.
"Alright fine I'll hold onto it." I said.
"So what do we do now?" Amanda said.
"I say we send Charlene and you to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to check for any traces of them. Me, Willa, and Maybeck will look around Fronteirland for any other signs." Jess said.
"I'm down with that but it's just about dark. Maybe we should do it tomorrow." Maybeck said.
"No I say we do it tonight because everything is closed and that gives us the opportunity to sneak in without being caught or noticed by a fan." I said.
"What about crossing over? Can't we do that?" Charlene said.
"No right now the server is down as far as I know and none of us know how to reboot it except for Philby. We have to go in tonight without crossing over." I said.
"Okay then, let's go get our friends back." Maybeck said.
Amanda POV:
As Charlene and I walked into Fronteirland we both got a weird feeling. Like something dark just washed over us. We both looked at each other with worried faces. Then before we knew it we were standing right at the entrance to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Not really but this is for our friends." Charlene said. We walked through and as we were walking to where the ride starts I heard a noise. I stopped and so did Charlene.
"What is it?" she said.
"Shhh I think I hear something." I said.
I was right I did hear something. It wasn't an animal or person it was the…ride. The ride was on and that means that the train was moving. We both started walking again to where you get on the train. I heard it getting closer and closer. It stopped right in front of us.
I looked at Charlene and said, "Do you think we should get on it?"
"I want to say no but have you seen how big this ride is? I'm not going to walk through it. Plus I think there are cameras."
"You got a good point there."
So we both hopped on into the same booth and the train took off. It was going faster than usual but as we were nearing the t-rex bones we slowed down. Something didn't feel right. We came to a stop right as the entire train passed the bones. I turned around to see them popping off the wall and reforming itself into a t-rex. I screamed and so did Charlene. It climbed onto the train and we both couldn't do anything.
Just as it reached the booth behind us the train took off again and it fell backwards. It immediately got up and roared. It started climbing towards us slowly as the train took different turns. We couldn't get out, our seatbelts locked us in our seats.
It opened its mouth ready to chomp our heads off. Charlene screamed to the top of her lungs and that's when it hit me. All my anger rushed up inside me, I help out my hands and pushed the t-rex off the train. It fell into pieces and my first thought was that I'm glad Charlene is okay.
The ride finally ended and the seatbelts undid themselves. Charlene nearly jumped out but was wobbly. But who could blame her we almost got killed by a big pile of bones.
"Okay next time let's be ready for anything that comes our way." Charlene said out of breathe.
"Agreed. But maybe next time we shouldn't get onto a ride that operates itself." I said.
We walked out with our arms over each other's shoulders. We found a bench and sat on it for a little while. Once we both recovered from what happened we walked to find our friends. We found them right outside the entrance of Fronteirland.
"Hey did you guys find anything?" Willa asked.
"Yes, we found a giant t-rex made only out of bones that was hungry and wanted us as a late night meal." Charlene said sarcastically.
"Didn't you hear us screaming? Or the t-rex roaring?" I said.
"That was the t-rex? I thought it was Jess's stomach." Maybeck said.
Jess elbowed him in the gut and he leaned over in pain. Charlene and I started laughing and we couldn't stop.
"Well I think we got too distracted with a pile of bones that we never really did look for any clues. Sorry guys." I said.
"Hey it's okay. That is no excuse for what you and Charlene went through. We can try again tomorrow but we have to hurry. We don't know what could be happening to them right now." Willa said.
We all laughed and talked as we walked out of Disneyland. We were all lucky to be staying in the same hotel. Another plus side was that the hotel wasn't that far from the park. The boys were sharing a room but Maybeck would have to sleep alone tonight. Charlene and Willa shared one room while Jess and I shared another.
That night I couldn't sleep. The one thought that kept running through my mind was Finn. I really hope he's okay.
Please review. Tell me what you think.
