HEY! I've decided that this story might be a lot easier if I wrote it in 1st person. I thank all who supported me with my stories and I'm sorry this chapter took so long. Please tell me what you think of this story =)

Chapter 2

~ Mira POV ~

I couldn't help feel like the person beside me on the bench was important. Haley tried to coax me out of the theory, that I was being paranoid. But I couldn't help it.

I watched the landscape rush by. I thought of the time that we had before the park closed. It was only a couple hours, and we needed an hour to get to Orlando. Then we needed another bus for the Magic Kingdom. We would need to hurry inside before they stop letting people in.

I remembered that one day my parents promised we would go to Disney World after school. They didn't return from work until five 'o clock. Then they took the long way to Orlando and got lost on the way there. Suddenly I began to think that they did it on purpose. Maybe they didn't want me in danger.

As soon as we arrived in Disney World, Haley and I rushed into Main Street. I felt as if I was being watched. I wished that I could understand what I was up against.

All of a sudden I saw lights flicker on and off in a room above the firehouse. I stared to see if any else would happen, but nothing did. Who ever was up there probably didn't want the wrong people seeing it.

"Mira, are you ok?" Haley whispered in my ear.

"I saw something." I said. "I think it's a sign."

I pushed through the thick crowd of people asking a pirate for an autograph. He obviously was too busy. He pushed through the same way I was heading. I ignored him. I was too fixed on the little apartment in the firehouse. The stairs were marked off to visitors. I also ignored that.

When I burst through the doors I realized that Haley was no longer following me. She probably stopped at the base of the stairs.

I slowed down for a second to take in the place. It was a mess. Everything was scattered around and misplaced. I tried to tune out the underwear hanging on the ceiling fan. What was that about?

Something got my attention over by the desk. It sat on top of everything else. I studied it carefully. It was a plexiglas rectangle. I had a feeling that it meant something important.

I sat my dad's map down on the bed. It was a map of the Magic Kingdom. Then I held the plexiglas up to the sun. The rectangle bent the light and it hit the map.

Nothing happened.

I set down the rectangle back on the desk. I had hoped something would happen or that the plexiglas would reveal a message. I snatched the map back up and exited the filthy room.

Then I realized the map had changed. I unfolded the map to see that it showed inside of Cinderella's Castle. It even showed a secret passageway.

I rushed downstairs to meet up with Haley. I gasped. Haley wasn't there.

I calmed myself down and went outside the firehouse. Everyone was starting to exit the park for closing. My heart sank as more and more people left and I couldn't spot Haley.

I felt a hand on my shoulder. Automatically I kicked whoever was behind me in the gut. Mom had let me take karate lessons, so I assumed that the person was doubled over right now.

When I turned around to karate chop the person's neck I saw that it was a walkabout pirate. At least, I think he was a walkabout.

"I'm so sorry." I apologized. I ran away before security could show up.

I hide in the bush nearest to the Castle. It concealed me well and let me watch the visitors leave the park. When I saw all of them leave I was left to think that Haley had also been kidnapped.

~ ? POV ~

"What do you mean 'she got away'?" the voice screeched through the walky-talky.

The pirate winced as he limped over to a bench. His gut still was in pain from the girl kicking him.

"You don't realize how powerful she is." The pirate said.

"She's 14!" The voice yelled. "How hard can it be?"

The pirate felt a mixer of embarrassment and rage. "Well, I guess you'll find out. She's going to be coming up soon."

The pirate slammed down the walky-talky and walked off.
