Chapter Six
'We're Going to Crash!'

Nerissa had been standing there for what felt like forever. The limo had already arrived that was supposed to take her and the others to Auradon, but she was not allowed to get in yet. No, she was forced to wait outside it until the others arrived. The only person with her was Thalissa. They waited at the area right at the cut-off bridge.

"I'm pretty sure they'll hurry up," said Thalissa.

"They better," said Nerissa.

As if on cue, Parker appeared out of nowhere.

"Where did you come from?!" shouted Thalissa, startled by the sudden addition.

"Um, I walked," Parker responded.

Parker just shrugged off Thalissa's surprise and leaned against the limo.

"Is there a reason why we aren't inside?" she asked.

Nerissa merely ignored Parker and continued to wait impatiently for the rest of the group. That was something Parker did not like, being intentionally ignored. While she didn't like drawing much attention to herself when it came to confrontations like this, she also didn't like to be treated like she was invisible. She bit her lip as she tried to hold back her anger towards Nerissa.

"Um…" Thalissa started, noticing Parker's anger. Then she noticed something else. "Oh look."

She pointed down one of the roads that intersected at the bridge. Walking down it was a dark, looming figure. Her long, straight raven black hair and pasty white skin was a dead giveaway of who she was. Only one person on the island had such a morbid appearance. With her hollow face and waiflike frame she had a haunting appearance about her. Everyone knew her as Cherise, and just that. Her parentage or really anything else about her was left to the imagination of those that "interacted" with her. She never mentioned anything to anyone about herself. The only thing people knew about her was that she was the daughter of someone evil, as she was on the isle. And it was pointless to ask her anyhow, as she refused to talk.

Cherise slowly walked up to the limo and sat down near the trunk. She had a single, small bag with her. It looked barely big enough to hold toiletries, let alone clothing.

"What took you so long?" asked Nerissa.

Cherise simply looked at her, silent. Nerissa shook her head.

"Never mind," she said.

Even the strong Nerissa could be creeped out by the very strange girl. Cherise merely turned her attention back to the road she just came from, as if waiting for the others to arrive. The other three girls did the same thing. It wasn't long before the last two finally arrived.

First there was the son of Doctor Facilier himself, Dante. Parker gave the tall boy a swift nod as he joined her, standing beside her. He dropped his bags down, all three of them.

"Got enough bags?" asked Parker.

"Ivory kept saying I needed more stuff," Dante responded.

"Uh-huh," said Parker.

After him came the final teen. Her short, purple hair whipped back and forth as she walked with such power. Mal, the daughter of the one and only Maleficent; she was just like her mom. While Cherise was the scariest by far, Mal had to be one of the most intimidating, just beneath her mom. Behind her, carrying her bags, were a couple of nameless lackeys.

"May I ask why you are waiting outside the car like fools?" asked Mal when she finally got to the limo.

"It's your fault," Narissa snapped. "You're the one who was late and we couldn't do anything without you being here. So it is your fault."

Mal's face twitched in frustration. Narissa wasn't so calm either. Thalissa stepped between them, though wasn't sure if that was the smartest thing.

"Well, now that everyone is here, that means you guys can get going," Thalissa said. "That also means I should get going."

"Yeah," Narissa agreed.

"Well… Bye," said Thalissa, as she slowly started to back away.

"Yeah, bye," said Narissa, not looking at her sister.

Thalissa slightly hung her head and left. Parker felt slightly sorry for Thalissa, as she was Kelsi's best friend. Parker couldn't think of treating her younger sister like that. Sure Kelsi would get irritating at times, but she was still family. It looked like Narissa didn't view Thalissa that way.

"Can we get in the car now?" asked Narissa, already opening the door.

The driver, who had blocked Narissa's first attempt to get into the car before everyone showed up, allowed her to enter the car, taking her luggage as she entered. Mal was close behind with Cherise after her. Dante then went in and Parker got in last.

The inside of the limo was huge; much bigger than what the teens had first expected from just looking at the outside. They each had enough space inside to be a bit spread out. Amongst them was also luxuries they had never seen in their life. Such as candy. Sure they saw candy, and occasionally got a piece of it, but never had they seen so much sweets in their life and such quality. The chocolate is what got Parker's attention. She couldn't stop herself from chomping down on the candy surrounding her and the chocolate was so sweet.

There were also carbonated drinks made available. Unlike the candy, they had never seen such items. The beverage said it was "soda", but what that meant was a guess to them. Cherise was the first to try it out, though remained emotionless when it came to reaction time. Dante took a swig next, but later regretted it. It was so sweet and all the carbonation felt like it was filling his throat and was about to explode.

"Don't drink those," he said.

Parker nodded and offered him some chocolate, which he gladly took to get the soda-flavour out of his mouth.

"Do you guys have no couth?" asked Mal. "They are obviously trying to buy your loyalty with sweets even before we get there. And you're just taking it."

Narissa scoffed.

"Stop acting like we're idiots," she said. "Just because your mom's Maleficent doesn't mean you have the right to insult us."

It was Mal's turn to scoff this time.

"I will stop treating you guys like idiots when you stop acting like idiots," she responded.

The heat began to rise between the two girls, when the sudden jolt of the limo beginning to move brought them out of it. They, along with the other three, looked out the front window. The limo driver seemed calm, but the teens sure weren't. As when they looked, they were driving towards the broken bridge. If the force field didn't stop them, they would surely be stopped by dropping off the bridge. The limo driver pressed a button and continued to drive. When they should have hit the force field, they just breezed by.

"The force field is down?" asked Parker.

It wasn't a true surprise – they had to get through the force field somehow – but it was still enough of a shock to surprise them. As they picked up speed, they race towards the end of the bridge.

"They tricked us! They're going to kill us!" shouted Mal.

Mal continued to shout at the driver to stop, while Parker covered her face with her arms, afraid to watch what was going to happen next. Dante joined Mal in shouting at the driver. Even Cherise was ducking down, preparing for the impact to the water. The only ones not panicking were Narissa and the driver. With another push of a button, something kicked into the car, which felt like a minor tremor to the teens. And just as they hit the end of the bridge, it felt like a gust of wind picked up underneath the limo. They were flying.

"We're flying!" exclaimed Parker.

They looked out the side windows. They weren't flying at all. Instead a golden bridge made up of glittery dust magical materialized. It continued along to the other side of the water and the limo was simply driving on it.

"How the heck?" wondered Dante.

"Of course the limo had to arrive somehow," said Narissa, the only one of the teens not freaking out. "If you guys actually arrived on time, like me, you would have seen the limo arrive. Maybe than you guys wouldn't be as scared as you just were."

Narissa's snide comment did not sit well with the others. Mal went to argue back, but just swallowed her words. She instead gave her attention to the limo driver; deciding to drown him in questions about what happened. Dante continued to look out the window, as did Cherise, though they were probably looking at completely different things. Dante was watching the magical golden bridge to make sure it didn't disappear. Cherise however looked like she was looking off into the distance. Parker just stuffed her face with more chocolate.

Almost 1,500 words of pure chapter. We are finally leaving the isle and going to Auradon. We will be – slowly – introducing the heroes' kids. And don't worry, those of the villains' kids who haven't been introduced or talked about much will be featured more. This only chapter six and I plan on this story for going on for a bit longer or so.

Next chapter out next Tuesday! See you guys then and have a nice week.
