Here is the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Descendants or its prequel book.
"Hey!"
Jay, Carlos, and Anthony was heading to the Tourney field when they heard the shout behind him. The shout came from the beautiful Evie, who was jogging toward them in two inch heels. She stopped in front of them and asked, "Are you heading to practice?"
"Yeah," Carlos answered first. "We're going to see if the coach will let Anthony tryout."
Jay placed a reassuring hand on Anthony's shoulder. "I taught him some stuff back on the isle. I think he would make an awesome center forward."
"Wait, isn't that your spot?" She faintly remembered as he and Carlos had explained the whole game of Tourney to her and Mal once.
"Yeah, but there's a cheer-leading tryout today and Carlos dared me to go. Mal laughed at me so I dared her to go with me. If the two of us do make it then I want someone who I know that can take my place take my place."
"Oh,no. Didn't any of your teammates tell you the news?" Evie questioned them and when they shook their heads, she continued, "Ben already requested a Tourney tryout for the twins. Mal tried to change his mind but he had already talked to the coach."
Jay's face grew grim as his three friends feared that he was going to explode from anger. "Why would he do something so stupid?!" He roared in rage. He honestly looked like he was about to kill someone when he turned to storm to the field.
"Jay, wait!" Anthony grabbed his arm, which caused Jay to falter in his step forward. "Before you go on a rampage, I have something I forgotten to give you. It is from your father."
Jay turned his head slightly, his anger slowly deteriorating while Anthony grabbed something from his pocket. He pulled out a chain that had a little charm attached to it. It took a moment to realize the chain was for a necklace and that the charm was something he was familiar with. Jay turned his whole body around as Anthony gently laid the gift in his hand.
"He had said the curse will come into effect soon." Anthony relayed knowingly. "He wants you to hold this or let someone you trust take care of it until the time is right to claim it again."
Jay nodded his head in understanding as he closed his hand around it. Carlos, not having seen the present along with Evie, asked, "What is it?"
Hesitantly, Jay dangled the chain, holding it with two fingers, as it and the charm swayed back and forth. "It's my dad's lamp."
"What about the curse Anthony talked about?" Evie acknowledged. "What exactly is it?"
Jay sighed, feeling a burden creating pressure on his shoulder. "You already know my dad was turned into a genie. Well the one that turned him told him if he had a child, he would be cursed. The curse is the child will turn into a genie after he dies. He had promised himself he would never fall in love so that wouldn't happen. In the end he broke his promise, when he met my mother."
"So?"
"So, when my father dies, I'll be turned into a genie and this will be my lamp." He stared at it intently for a few moments. Looking up he tossed it. "Here."
Evie caught it in confusion to which Jay explained, "I want all three of you take turns wearing it. But I do want it back soon."
"Why?"
"I want to give it to someone as an. . . .anniversary gift."
End of the chapter! So there is no confusion this is still the first day of the new arrivals.
