Chapter 4
~ Finn POV ~
"This way!" Finn yelled.
"What makes you think they're hiding in Maelstrom?" Willa asked.
"Intuition." Finn answered.
"Or the fact that there's a trail of rum heading into the ride." Philby said.
Charlene and Maybeck sat down in a Viking ship.
"We're going to see if there's anything on the ride." Charlene told Finn. "Want to come with us. We could use some extra eyes."
"Me and Philby will go if it's ok with Finn." Willa said.
"You all go. I'm going to look around here for an entrance." Finn said.
The ride whirred to life and Charlene, Maybeck, Willa, and Philby's boat lurched forward. Finn watched as their smiling faces disappeared through the tunnel. They were probably catching up for lost time. Finn could already hear Charlene laughing at one of Maybeck's jokes.
Finn skipped across a ship to the other wall. He balanced on a little ledge. Finn pressed his ear against the wall and knocked. The inched along the wall until he heard a hollow part of the wall. He knocked the hollow part again for good measures.
"Guys." Finn called out hoping the others could hear him. "I think I found the entrance."
But Finn felt that something was wrong. If this was the real entrance it would be heavily guarded, right? But then again the lack of guards might be just to mislead him. Finn didn't want to take a chance of missing Amanda. He pushed against the wall and it opened like a door.
Another door with a padlock was after the wall. Finn passed through it with ease. The padlock was probably to keep workers or guests out. They had to have remembered that DHIs could pass through things.
Finn stepped into a grand hall. At the end of the hall was another door. Finn silently tiptoed down the hall. Suddenly he heard a scream from the ride. It had come alive as usual. Finn had no time to waste. They could take care of themselves, right?
Finn leaned his ear against the steel door. He could hear Maleficent's raspy voice. A long forgotten chill went down Finn's spine.
"Amanda," Maleficent said. "We failed to take care of the Kingdom Keepers. They're on their way right now to take you away."
"I can take them." Amanda said bravely. "Let me do this."
"I'm not holding you back." Maleficent said. "In fact,"-The door snapped open and Finn tumbled onto the floor-"Why don't you start now?"
Finn felt a needle prick his skin and he fainted.
~ Amanda POV ~
Her blood boiled with hatred. Maleficent had told Amanda that this one was the leader, Finn. He was the one that had erased her memory. He was the one with the answers, and he was the one to blame.
"I want to have a private chat with him." Amanda said. "Keep the others occupied."
Finn lay unconscious on the floor. Amanda levitated him and sent him flying down the hall.
"That felt good." Amanda whispered to herself.
Amanda levitated Finn out the door. She followed after him. She levitated him over to the lake. Every fiber of her being wanted to drown him, but she set him down on a bench.
Amanda looked him over for any weapons. She found a strange small box in his coat pocket. It had a button on it. Something about it set Amanda off. She tossed it behind a tree. A metal file was stashed in his sock. Amanda threw it in the lake. Amanda patted Finn down. He was clean.
Amanda pulled a needle out of Finn's arm. He would regain conscious in a minute or less. Amanda backed away from him. She was anxious to get this started.
~ Finn POV ~
When Finn woke up the first thing that he was aware of was his blood pumping rapidly. The next thing he noticed was the fact that he was floating in mid-air. Finn looked around. He knew Amanda was doing this. He just didn't know why.
Finn suddenly fell to the ground. He landed on his back. Finn could've sworn he heard his spine crack. Finn stood up and stretched out his back. It wasn't broken, luckily.
Amanda stepped out from behind the tree. Finn sighed with relief.
"Amanda." Finn said. "I'm so glad to see you."
Amanda didn't look as happy to see Finn. She snapped a branch off the tree and threw it at Finn. Finn ducked as the stick zipped by where his head used to be.
"What was that for?" Finn asked. Finn stepped closer to Amanda. "What's wrong?"
"You should know!" Amanda exclaimed.
Finn was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"
Amanda grabbed a rock from the base of the tree and threw it at Finn. Finn breathed out and tried to turn all clear. The rock collided with his ribs. Finn looked at the rock dumbfounded.
"The needle we pricked you with had a stimulant that increased your heartbeat by just a smidge, but it is just enough to stop you from going 'all clear'." Amanda said. She kicked Finn to the ground.
Finn sprung back to his feet. He backed away from Amanda.
"I don't want to fight." Finn said.
"I do." Amanda said as she swung her fist at Finn. "You tried to kill me!"
"Are you crazy?" Finn shouted, dodging Amanda's attack.
"Maleficent told me everything!" Amanda yelled. She did a roundhouse kick to Finn's side.
The kick knocked the wind out of Finn. "That explains it."
Amanda stopped for a brief moment. "What do you mean?"
"Amanda," Finn said softly. He took her arm and looked her in the eye. "Maleficent lied to you."
"NO!" Amanda shouted in denial. She pulled away from Finn. "She protected me from you!"
"Overtakers are evil." Finn yelled. Amanda swung at him. He ducked. "We're the good guys."-She took another swing-"You're one of us!"
Amanda was so confused that tears streamed down her face. She slapped Finn across the face. He staggered backwards.
"Stop it!" Amanda screamed. "Stop deceiving me!"
Finn pulled Amanda close to him. "In addition to all that, I love you."
Finn leaned into Amanda and kissed her.
~ Amanda POV ~
Memories flooded back to Amanda. The day on the beach, The nights at Disney, Finn. Amanda held Finn close. She knew he could tell that the real Amanda was back.
Amanda released Finn and looked into his brown eyes. She smiled sheepishly. "Sorry I slapped you, and kicked you, and threw a rock at you."
"It's no problem." Finn said. "By the way, we probably should go save the others."
"Good idea." Amanda agreed.
