Hey so updates for this story will be slowing down..a lot from this point on. But to make up for that, I have just written the longest chapter I've ever done.. For you readers!

Thanks for the reviews enjoy!

Its silent on the other end. I tear my eyes from the shadow to glance at the lamp.

" Genie?"

He replies.

" Yea I'm here. I'm just having trouble placing the name."

I roll my eyes.

" But you are part of the league, shouldn't you know?"

His voice grows defensive.

" Hey, that's why you're here remember? You don't know every bad guy in your world off the top of your head, do you."

I give a small laugh and sigh.

" Alright, you win! He's from princess and the frog, he's also known as the Shadow Man."

I can hear the surprise in Genie's voice.

" Dr. Fecilier.. The witch doctor? Why He's only a second rate villain!"

I shake my head.

" You know some people can say that about Jafar as well."

The lamp surprisingly starts vibrating resulting in me juggling it in attempt to catch it.

" Wait just a minutes! Jafar is a-"

I shush him in disbelief. We are not standing here rating disney villains...

" The point is that he's here. But, why?"

Genie sighs.

" No idea but, you need to find out soon. The story could be in jeopardy soon if he's not stopped."

I nod and retie the lamp to my dress. I rush to the corner that Madellaine just disappeared Behind.

" okay, I'll follow them."

...

I watch Madellaine go inside the huge Cathedral doors and once they close, I walk over and reach out to grab the door. The lamp vibrates again and Genie's urgent voice starts.

" Stop! Dont touch that door!"

I freeze and glance at the lamp.

" Why not? They when in there!"

Genie's voice lowers to a whisper.

" the gargoyles will instantly know you don't belong here."

Gargoyles?

" But, aren't they good?"

" Yes, but they are supposed to keep the story clear of intruders. No matter who sent you. If you even so much as touch Notre Dame they will be on you and hunt you till you are gone."

I swallow nervously and glance around the square.

" Alright, I get it. Then what am I supposed to - wait, is that?"

As I am scanning the square, I spot a shadow slinking under a cart full of flowers. So even his shadow can't enter,huh... I hear genie's voice again.

" what is it?"

I watch the shadow touch the stone wall of the cathedral just to recoil. I shake my head.

" Dr. Fecilier's Shadow can't go in either but it seems different than for me. Oh!"

A thought occurs to me. I glance at the cathedral then back to the shadow.

" Genie, is it possible that he can't enter because it's a church? I mean, he is a shadow of a Voodoo witch..."

Genie seems to be thinking about this for a moment.

" I could believe that. I'll make sure the rest of the league is informed of this update, it could prove useful in the future. Meanwhile keep an eye on it"

After a minute or two the shadow must have deemed it a waste of time to wait here and starts slinking back away. I glance back at the cathedral thinking about Madellaine meeting Quasimodo for the first time right this minute. To think there's two stories going on right now... With that thought, I turn back to the shadow and follow him back to the circus.

I watch as the shadow creeps into a small purple tent. I make my way through the crowd of people now here to enjoy the various acts and treats that's delicious smells that fill the air.

I cautiously peek inside the purple tent. Then I see him, Dr. Fecilier.

The man reminds me of Jafar, such as being tall, skinny, mustached; and dressed in very linear black-and-red clothing. But he has purple eyes, and a thin mustache, as well as a gap between his front teeth. My hands land on what's in his hand, a Cane with a purple globe on top. It's then I notice something different about his necklace, it had some sort of purple and gold rock attached to it. I don't remember that...

I watch him spew some mumbo jumbo about some cards on the table and the other man seems very amazed by the smoke and lights behind the shadow man.

I get it now, he's doing the same thing I'm doing... I back away and pull out the lamp.

" genie, I found him. He's acting like a fortune teller here at the circus. I don't know why I didn't think about it before, it really makes sense."

Genie replies immediately .

" Good job! Now we need to find out why he is here. Did anything about him seem different?"

I open my mouth to tell him about the necklace, when someone grabs my arm from behind and tugs back hard. I stumble back and turn to find Perrie standing there looking annoyed.

" What are you doing?! The show is in twenty minutes, why aren't you in costume yet?!"

I swallow, I had completely forgotten about the show.

" I was just -"

He shoves me to a wooden caravan sitting behind a cluster of tents.

" I don't really care, just go!"

With that he storms off leaving me rubbing my throbbing arm.

" Are you alright?"

I stiffen for a moment then turn to see a lady standing there watching Perrie leave. she has dark brown skin, raven-black hair, and striking emerald green eyes . Her hair is tied back with a pink ribbon. Shes also wearing a white top with a teal and gold bodice, along with a purple sarong and white petticoat.

I then notice she wears a golden hoop earring on her left ear, a golden bangle on her left wrist, and matching bracelet and anklet on both her right hand and right ankle. I instantly recognize her. Esmeralda...

" Its okay, I won't hurt you."

I was confused for a second then I realize She took my stunned, silent, awe of her as fear. I snap out of it and smile.

" Oh no, sorry! I'm fine really. Thank you though."

She studies me for a moment. After a moment of awkward silence and her staring at me I clear my throat as politely as I know how to.

" What's wrong? Do I have mud on me or something?"

She smile and puts her fist on her chin thoughtfully.

" Oh nothing, I just get this sense that you are more than you appear to be."

I shift foot to foot nervously.

" nope, I'm just a girl.. Working in a travelling circus.. That's all."

Yea that doesn't sound weird at all...The gypsy raised a slightly amused eyebrow.

" Really?"

I admittedly nod a bit too enthusiastically and she laughs starting to walk away.

" Alright then, I'll just leave you with a tip from a fellow performer. Life's act is too short to stay to the script, sometimes you just need to improvise."

With that she winks and walks away leaving me to process the whole encounter. I just spoke with Esmeralda and she gave me some cryptic life lesson ..and the best I could was flounder and stare? I shake my head at myself. Real Smooth...

Nearby clapping reminds me of the show so I turn to go get changed in whatever Im supposed to wear when I spot Madellaine.. Walking into the Shadow man's tent. That can't be right... I edge over to it just after the flaps of the entrance close. I lean in close so I can listen. I hear a male voice.

" I know why you are here, and the good news is that I can help you get it."

I hear Madellaine confused response.

" I don't know about-"

cuts her off.

" Just look around, at the crowds and listen to the cheering. Madellaine, the tightrope walker master !"

At first Im confused then it dawns on me. He's showing her just like he does with Tiana! I focus again and realized I missed something. Dr. Fecilier is talking again.

" All you have to do is play your part in Sarousch's plan and I'll make your dream come true. He's happy, you're happy.. It's a win, win."

Sarousch? I think about the movie. I know he wants to steal the Bell called La fe ale from Notre Dame but in the end, Madellaine and Quasimodo stop them. So the shadow man is helping Sarousch... Madellaine starts to respond.

" You can do that?"

I bite my bottom lip, she's caving in.I think about that life lesson a moment ago, improvise. I have to stop her...I glance around trying to think of something but Nothing comes to mind. I hear Madellaine again.

" Well..."

I squeeze my eyes shut and burst through the closed tent entrance.

" Stop!"

I open my eyes to see the two of them staring at me.

The shadow man looks at me like I just ruined his day. Hopefully I do... He step closer.

" You can wait your turn, I'm busy with another customer right now."

I ignore him and turn to Madelaine who look surprised to see me.

" Madellaine, don't make any deals with him. He's bad news."

Dr. Fecilier starts shoving me out and I push forward as he tries to talk to Madallaine.

" Don't worry about superstitions and gossip lets just talk details."

I sidestep him and turn back to the girl.

" But.. What about.. Quasimodo?"

She looks at me confused.

" The bellringer? What about him?"

Oh, right.. She hasn't fallen in love with him yet... I sigh.

" Listen this is going to sound strange but you really should consider walking out of tent right now."

Someone grabs my arm from behind. I turn to him. I talk to him like I would a small child.

" Fecilier, Not now. I'm trying to talk."

I can see his anger grow as I turn back to Madellaine, I point to the man behind me.

" You can't trust the shadow Man. Go, or you might be caught up in something you will regret for the rest of your life."

At my words the man behind me freezes. After a moment Madellaine nods and hurried out, leaving me with . After a moment I hear him angrily talk as he grabs his staff.

" Who are you and how do you do you know that name?"

oops...

...10 minutes later...

I snort in disbelief with my heart racing. I yell at the lamp tied to whats left of my tattered singed dress.

" Second rate, huh? Was that before or after he tried to kill me?"

The lamp vibrates in response and I jump to avoid another Demon possessed card and a flaming voodoo mask aimed straight at my head.

" Genie, what do I do? If we don't end this soon, the city will be destroyed.. Again!"

Genie's voice carries over the sounds of chaos.

" We need to find his source of power."

I glance at the man standing on a high platform and I remember his necklace. That's it!

" Genie, when I shake this lamp.. Can you help me get to 's level?"

Genie replies.

" Can a street rat marry a princess?"

I roll my eyes and smile.

" great, wait for my signal."

I rush through the crowd of panicking circus folk straight towards the tall crazed man surrounded by purple smoke. He eyes me annoyed.

" I don't know who you are girl, but you're getting on my nerves."

I duck as a shadow ball is fired at me. The man raises his cane.

" I mean it, you don't know who you're messing with!"

I shake the lamp and blue smoke comes pouring out and rises me above to the level of the Shadow man. I can't help but smirk at his stunned face.

" Ditto."

With that, I reach out and snatch the necklace from around his neck. Genie's blue smoke starts to lower me as the man starts to yell, grabbing at air in attempt to get the necklace back.

" NOOOOOOO"

The purple smoke starts to darken to black as the cards around us start to turn to smoke. I watch as the black smoke starts to swirl around Dr. Fecilier, he starts yelling in a panic.

" No, I can still- Please- Ursula, give me another chance! Wait- Nooo!"

The smoke swallowed the man up and I look down at the necklace to find its a shell. Did he say Ursula? The lamp vibrates.

" Sooo.. Did we win?"

I laugh and glance at the spot where the shadow man and the smoke disappeared just moments before.

" I.. Think so?"

...

I step back into my room carrying the necklace and the lamp to find Genie waiting for me. He rushes up and gives me giant hug.

" Oof!"

I think i know how Aladdin feels about hugs now... Genie looks me over with a grin.

" Great job, I knew you could do it!"

He looks at the necklace in my hand, I hand it to him for him to study it. I nod to it.

" I'm pretty sure he mentioned something about Ursula. Do you think she had something to do with him being there?"

He nods and stashes the necklace in a puff of smoke.

" Possibly, the rest of the league and myself will study it after we make sure the story is ok still. This shell definitely looks like her work, being a fellow witch and all. It could also mean we havent seen the last of Dr. Fecilier either."

I nod thinking. So what else is going on? Genie changes to look like a gameshow announcer and holds a microphone up to me.

"So, what'd you think of it?"

I give a small smile and shrug.

" I guess I could do it again."

Genie laughs and gives me a noogie.

" And you thought you were gonna die."

I roll my eyes as I hear my parents call for me impatiently. I glance at Genie confused. He snaps his fingers and I find myself back in jeans and a t-shirt with my jacket in my hands. I glance at the time to realize no more than a minute or two has past since I stepped into the mirror. No way... Genie winks.

" you might miss the movie if you don't hurry."

I smile as I nod and rush out to meet my parents. I could get used to this...
