Chapter 1

~ 2033 ~

Mira rushed downstairs with a poster in her hands.

"Dad!" Mira called.

"What's the matter?" Mira's dad asked.

Mira unfolded the glossy poster. It was a picture of the DHI, Finn Whitman, from 2010.

"Dad, why haven't you ever told me you were a DHI?" Mira asked.

"I never thought you'd be interested." Finn said. "Besides, it's all in the past."

"You kidding?" Mira exclaimed. "You're, like, famous!"

Amanda came into the living room with a pitcher of lemonade. Amanda saw Mira and the poster she was clinging to. Amanda's smile faded.

"Mira?" Amanda said. "Mommy needs to talk with Daddy for a minute."

Mira nodded and fluttered her eyelashes. Her huge smile had just a twinge of insanity. She looked like a psycho fan.

"Alone." Amanda said.

Mira snapped out of her daze and skipped out of the room. Amanda could hear Mira dialing on the phone and screeching at her friend, Haley, about the poster.

Finn smiled at Amanda. Amanda gave a small smile back.

"I'm worried that she might find out." Amanda said. "We can't let her find out anything more. It could put her in danger."

"Maleficent and the Overtakers are taken care of." Finn told Amanda.

"No, Finn." Amanda said. "They came back once. They can come back again. I'm not letting my daughter get caught up in that."

"Amanda." Finn said. He wrapped Amanda in his arms.

"We can't let her find out!" Amanda said again.

Mira stepped away from the door. What were her parents hiding from her? Mira saw Amanda walking towards the kitchen where she was. Mira scurried upstairs and hid behind a wall. She hoped her mom couldn't see her.

Mira heard a buzzing sound coming from her parents' room. She peered through the slightly open door. Her dad's phone was vibrating. He was getting a text.

Mira unlocked Finn's phone to see that the text was from Philby. Mira liked Philby, and his wife Willa. They had a son about Mira's age. His name was Andy. Mira fancies him.

"She's back." Mira read. Mira texts back to Philby, pretending to be Finn. "Who?"

"Maleficent." Philby texted back. "The Overtakers took Andrew!"

Mira felt shock paralyze her body. She dropped the phone, making a loud thump as it landed.

"Mira?" Amanda called up the stairs. "Is that you?"

"Yeah, Mom!" Mira answered. "I'm fine!"

But Mira knew she wasn't. She might not know what was going on, but she needed to find out.

Mira searched through her dad's desk drawers. There was some sort of remote and a quill. Mira thought that anything that was abnormal was probably what she needed.

The phone buzzed again.

Mira picked it up expecting to see Philby contacting Finn. It wasn't.

"Hello, Finn." Mira read. "If you want to see your friend's son again, bring the quill to the top of Cinderella's castle before morning. The clock is ticking. See you soon."

Mira put down the phone gently. Everything seemed to be going back and forth. It was happening so fast, and she didn't even know what was happening.

Mira only knew that she needed to go to Disney World.

~ Mira POV ~

Mira stayed for dinner with her parents. For some reason Mira didn't trust them anymore. Maybe it was the fact that they could be evil. Mira picked at her steak and potatoes with a fork. The thought of her mom and dad being evil was unbelievable. But Mira knew not to misjudge a book by the cover.

Mira looked up from her food. "Mom? Dad? Can I ask you something?" She asked.

"Sure, honey." Amanda said.

"Who is Maleficent?" Mira asked.

The color from Finn's face flushed. Amanda dropped her silverware onto the floor. They made a loud clatter. They both exchanged disturbed looks.

Amanda spoke first. "Excuse me?"

The way her parents reacted, Mira knew something was up. "Maleficent?"

"Maleficent is a Disney character from Sleeping Beauty." Finn said calmly, regaining color. "Why do you want to know?"

"Haley couldn't remember." Mira lied. "Can I ask you something else?"

"I guess." Amanda said, trying to slow her heart rate.

"Can I be excused?" Mira asked.

Amanda sighed with relief. "I was worried you would say something else, I mean, Of course you're excused."

Mira dumped her food scraps into her dog's bowl and set her plate in the sink. Then she sneaked a knife from the silverware drawer. She thought it might come in handy for whatever she was facing.

Mira raced upstairs to her room and took a backpack out of her closet. She stuffed the remote, the quill, the knife, a compass, and a map that was lying around in Finn's room.

Mira laced up her sneakers and dressed up in black. She put on a hoodie to conceal her face. Mira's heart pounded. She was getting herself into something huge. Mira knew that, but she didn't know how much trouble it was.

Mira sneaked out the back door, but stopped on the way out. She took in her surroundings, this might be the last time she ever sees her home again. Mira exited her house without saying a word.

Mira knocked on her neighbor's door. The sun was almost setting. Mira studied the remote in her hand and quickly shoved it in her pocket when the door opened.

Steven stepped out of the house and greeted Mira inside. Steven was a grown man but still acted a bit childish. He was Haley's father.

"Hello, Mira." Steven said in his usual cheerful tone.

"Hi, Mr. Carter." Mira replied. "Can I talk with Haley for a moment?"

"Of course, but Haley is upstairs right now." Mr. Carter said.

Mira thanked Mr. Carter and rushed upstairs. Mira burst through the door to find Haley watching her iTelevision. Haley glanced over at the open door.

"What's with all the black, Mira? Are you going goth?" Haley asked.

"Haley, do you know how to get into Disney without them knowing?" Mira asked.

Haley turned off the TV. "I can get you in if that's what you're asking. I have two season passes. But, why do you want Disney not to know?"

"Haley, I need to tell you something." Mira said. She sat down next to Haley on her bed. "Someone has kidnapped Andy."

"WHAT?" Haley screamed.

Mira clamped her hand over Haley's mouth and shushed her. "No one can know!" Mira hissed. "Not even my parents know! Only you, Philby, and me… And Maleficent."

"Maleficent?" Haley said, surprised. "You mean that one evil faery on Sleeping Beauty?"

"Yeah." Mira said. "I need your help. I can't do this alone."

Haley nodded. "I want a piece of this. Besides, Andy owes me twenty dollars."

Mira picked out a black outfit from Haley's closet. Haley added a cute black beanie to the outfit. She packed her own things, including a mirror, and they headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Mr. Carter asked, still in his gentle tone.

"Mira invited me over to her house for a sleep over." Haley lied. "By the way, their phones aren't working so don't bother calling… Or visiting."

Haley casually took the two Magic Kingdom season passes without anyone noticing and ran out the door.

Mira looked at Haley. "Let's split for the bus."

The two wasted no time and ran for the bus stop. They sat down on the bench waiting for the bus. A person sat next to them. He or she wore a coat that reached the ankles, a fedora, and some cheap shades. He or She held a newspaper in front of his or her face.

Mira felt a chill run down her spine. She sensed something about the person, something bad. Haley saw the look on Mira's face. The bus pulled up to the bus stop. Mira and Haley got on, but the person remained on the bench. Mira sat down near the door with Haley and stared at the person as the bus pulled away.

~ ? POV ~

The pirate put down his newspaper and removed his shades. He took out his walky-talky and pushed the button to talk.

"There's been no sign of Finn." The pirate said. "But there is two teens coming your way."

"We can use them too. Andrew is getting lonely."
