Harry's POV
"Oh, this is perfect." Mal said while smiling a devilish smile "Um, how? If they get the three jewels thn they'll be able to combine them then find what we need, the other half and they might even track us here." Maddy grand-daughter of Mad Madam Mim, receiving nods of agreements from Anthony son of Anastasia Tremaine, Sierra daughter of Shan Yu (MaliceMalAmyMalevFairy's oc) Scarlett and Betix. I stay quiet, but I silently agree, Josie just rolled her eyes at us as did Mal.
"If we wait for them to do the work we can steal the jewels then we can find the other half." Mal explained "I must say that was a good idea to make Audrey a slave. It has helped tremendously." Mal said to Josie.
"Ok, everyone we better get going. We must make sure we know where they are always, so we can steel the jewels. Although I guess we can spice things up from time to time." Mal said, smirking. After we all left the hide out we followed the Aks to Sherlocks woods. "Later can I hook them?" I asked Mal while fiddling with my new real hook that has purple and red bands around the side "Duh of course you can that's what the hook is for right?" she answered before kissing me quickly before heading out.
Malices POV
Once we finally got to Sherlock woods by taking a limo that Ben's family owned. We only brought the stuff we would absolutely need. Only me, Uma, Evie, Ben, Bree, Gil, Lonnie, Jay, Carlos, Cherna and Meadow came since Jasper and Valentine left a couple weeks ago to go met Jaspers parents Aladdin and Jasmine, Chad stayed behind because we told him there to cover us, Crystal and Shan Wuheng went to Elsa's castle along with Ulrik and Melinoe. We have been walking to the cave for about hour.
"Guys it's getting too dark, maybe we should call it a night." I said, they agreed, and we began making a camp site. After we made a camp and lit a fire and had some dinner Ben said, "Ha this is kind of like we're on a camping trip." We agreed "This forest reminds me of a lullaby my mother used to sing to me." Evie said, that made me remember the lullaby's Maleficent and Evil Queen both used to sing to us when we were kids "Oh yeah. I remember that song, it's weird to think we both had the same lullaby's when we were kids." I said, "Your parents used to sing you lullaby's?" Bree asked.
"Only Evil queen and Maleficent did it for some reason." Uma said, "What did they used to sing?" Meadow asked, "Evie want to sing it to them?" I asked "Sure." She said before she began to sing

"OK… that was a creepy song. Your mothers sang that to you?" Lonnie asked, "Yeah but my mother sometime sang 'The Hanging Tree' as well." I said "OK. On that note we might as well go to bed." Ben said. Just as I was going to go to sleep, I heard a twig snap nearby, I have been feeling like someone has been watching us since we left Auradon. "Guys did you hear that?" Uma asked "Yeah, I did." I said, "It probably was just a rabbit." Lonnie said before heading back to sleep.
I just sat in my sleeping bag 'That didn't sound like a rabbit. Why do I feel like we're being stalked?' I thought before closing my eyes, drifting off to sleep.
Mal's POV
We were hiding just out of them rang, spying on them. Josie and were hiding in a tree as the others were hiding in a shrub. Evie sang a song from our childhood. Making both me and Josie near fall asleep and fall out the tree, luckily, we didn't fall, and no one saw us near fall. After they went to sleep we had just got down on the ground when Anthony stepped on a twig.
They all turned their attention to our direction but passed it of as a rabbit. My backstabbing brother sat there deep in thought before he fell asleep. "What the heck were you thinking! You nearly gave away our position!" I whisper yelled at Anthony. Maddy slapped him on the back of the head as Betix and Scarlett snickered behind them.
After we went to bed Harry got up and said, "Would you come with me?" I look at him suspiciously but got up anyway. After walking off a little way, Harry covered my eyes. I rolled my eyes behind his hand "What are you doing Harry?" I asked, "Just a little further." He said.
When he finally removed his hand, I saw we were at a beautiful lake. "Mal, I know we haven't had a date, date in a while so can we consider this a date?" he asked "Oh Harry. It's official. I have the best boyfriend ever." I said as we sat down. I looked up to the strange tree in the middle of the water as if it was on an island before I began to sing a song from my childhood
'Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.'
After a while we decided to go back to the others.
The next day
Uma's POV
After we packed up our little camp we continued deeper into the forest until we found a cave "Hey, is that the cave where looking for? "Jay asked "Yep." Malice said. We lit some torches before walking in. the cave was long, dark and damp. There were thousands of sharp rocks around the sides of cave "See anything that looks like it could help us?" Ben asked, we all replied with no.
After a while of walking through the dark cave, we saw an almost green light up ahead "Guys look." I pointed out to them. we continued to the ominously glowing area. When we entered the area, we saw a green jewel on a manmade pedestal, the area was surrounded by a strange glowing moss on the rocks that made up the walls and some on the ground. As we walked in Malice stopped for a moment "Somethings not right. I feel like we've been followed and now I feel like there's terrible is going to strike." He said worried. Just then a few rocks up above us began to crumble "MOVE NOW!" we all ran over to where he is. Just after we ran to where Malice is the roof caved in "How did you know that was going to happen?" Lonnie asked disbelievingly "I'm a seer remember. I can sometimes see things just before they happen." Just after Malice said that we heard a hissing from the dust.
Once the dust cleared we saw a green scaled Gorgon with a variety of different shades of green snakes for hair, but the strange thing is her eyes are green and the fact that we were looking into her eyes and not becoming stone "A gorgon." I breathed "I am Grace. Protector of the green jewel." She began "If you want the jewel you must pass these riddles." She hissed "OK." We said
"A man road to a town on Friday, stayed for four days and left on Friday, how did he do it?" She asked, "Oh and if you get three answers wrong, well you all die." She stated we were trying hard to think of something when Gil said, "I got it." "Gil don't say anything." I told him, but he continued "Friday was the name of the mans mount." He answered "GIL!" we all yelled, Grace stayed quiet before saying "Correct. Now. What's greater then god, eviller then the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it and if you eat it you die." We were trying to figure it out when Gil said "Mal." "Wrong! You have 2 chances left!" She hissed "What in this world made you think that you bone head! Sheesh she probably has forgotten all about us and Auradon, probably just sitting in a cave or something!" Cherna yelled "Well, Mal is pretty evil." "Dude is there anything in your head, sometimes I think you might have nothing in your head." Malice said, annoyed that we only have two chances left. That's when it clicked "Nothing! The answer is nothing!" I answered, Grace just stared at me for a few moments "Correct." She replied.
"Final question. What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?" Grace asked "Umm, a monkey?" Cherna said it more like a question "Wrong! You have 1 chance left!" Grace hissed "CHERNA!" We yelled, she just shrugged "Have any ideas?" Malice asked "humans, as a baby they walk on four feet, then they walk on two as adults then they have a cane as an elder." I answered, Grace stared once again before saying "Correct. You may take the jewel." Before slithering off to the side.
Mal's POV
'Not on my watch!' I thought as the gorgon moved to the side. We had followed them into the cave and we heard everything, I had to use my magic on harry and Anthony, so they can see in the dark, Maddy, Betix, Josie and Scarlett can see in the dark cause they are part animal as well. I used my magic to be able to throw the stone at the gorgon as it's back is turned, so it will attack them thinking they attacked her first. As I threw it I saw them gasp in surprize as they saw a rock fly past them and hit the gorgon in the back of its head. I smirked 'Good luck, losers.' I as it turned to them in fury.
Uma's POV
A rock came flying past us and hit Grace right in the back of the head as her back was turned "How dare you attack me while my back is turned!" She hissed as she turned and lunged at us 'Oh dear. Things are not looking good for us.' I thought as we ran from her.
