CHAPTER 2.
After I had gone to bed, and I heard my mom retreat to her bedroom, I hopped out of bed and got dressed. Black shirt, sweat pants; I thought it would be good for possibly sneaking around Disney.
As carefully as I could, I slipped through my bedroom window, shutting it behind me.
I looked down at my watch. It was hard to see the hands in the dark, but I could tell that it was 8:34- just eno-ugh time to make it over to Disney, since I lived fairly close.
At exactly nine, I met up with Sorelli, Liam, Joshua, Erica, and Giovanni.
"Hey," Liam said. "So… everybody's here. Now what?" Suddenly, a bony hand reached out, and grabbed Liam's shoulder. He was pulled into the shadows, and we heard a muffled scream.
Sorelli gasped. "What was that?"
Giovanni shook his head. "I don't know, but we're going to find out. Come on!" He raced off in the direction we had seen Liam be taken. Erica followed.
"I don't think this is a good idea," Sorelli said, but Joshua grabbed her hand and pulled her along. I ran to catch up.
The five of us hurried through the gates, using the passes Sean had given us that day. We ran out onto Main Street.
"Ugh! This place is huge!" Erica exclaimed. "How will we know where they went?"
"There!" I pointed at the shadow of and tall, skinny figure racing through the crowd, with the shape of a boy over one shoulder. I wondered why someone didn't stop him.
We chased after them, finally catching up near Cinder-ella's castle. We gasped as the kidnapper turned around, and we finally saw him in the light. He looked a lot like Jafar, from Aladdin!
The sight of him was terrifying. You may think that Jafar looks the way he does in the Disney movie; he does. But seeing him in person was so much worse…
Jafar looked like a character from a horror film. He had a thin, bony face, and his skin was a sickly yellow, and stretched tightly over his bones, like a drum. His eyes were a glowing red, and being near him, you could feel evil seeping out of him. I wondered why the crowd didn't seem to notice.
"Put me down!" Liam cried, kicking his legs.
"Okay…" Jafar replied in a low, sinister tone, which sent a shiver up my back. Then, he threw Liam onto the concrete floor, and laughed.
"Liam!" Sorelli screamed. Jafar took a step towards her. She recoiled, still staring at Liam- we all were.
Jafar had thrown Liam down head first, and the pool of blood around his motionless body was making me sick.
Why isn't anyone helping us? I thought. None of the many people here seemed to pay any attention to Jafar, Liam, and us.
"Foolish kids," Jafar laughed. "Did you really think that they were starting a 'Disney Protection Agency'? Ha! No, of course not."
"What are you talking about?" Giovanni asked.
Jafar smiled, showing his hideous, rotting teeth- some of which were missing. "Why, I made that up to lure you here."
Suddenly, Jafar's towering figure transformed into Sean Thomas!
"Kids!" He said, in Sean's voice. "Disney needs your help!" He turned back into Jafar, laughing wildly.
"You're Sean?" Joshua looked shocked. "I can't believe it!"
"Yes," Jafar said. "Thank goodness I'm the only one with shape-shifting powers, or else one of the others might have been given the assignment…"
"What are you talking about?" Giovanni dared to ask.
Jafar glared at him. It was a terrible sight. I don't think you know how terrifying he looked. But that's all right; you would never sleep again.
"Well," he explained. "You all need to be finished off. I thought of how to lure you here, and executed the plan, so it's only fair that I get to kill you myself."
We stared at Jafar in horror, and he grinned back down at us. I notice that he had his foot on Liam's chest, which was rising up and down every now and then.
Jafar laughed wickedly. "Now," he said. "How shall I go about doing this? Maybe I will take you to the boss…" Jafar looked at us through shining eyes. We had long since lost hope that he was a person in a costume.
"And who is the boss?" Giovanni asked, stepping dang-erously close to Jafar, who towered over him, even though he was tall.
"Well," Jafar replied. "You'll find out soon enough."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It came out sooner than I expected! :)
Okay, I know you're thinking, What? How the heck is Jafar so evil and ugly? Well, I don't know, but I wanted it to be different from most stories, where the villains are goofy. Please imagine he looks really scary!
Thanks, and come back for the next chapter, which will be out by this Friday!
