Chapter 7: Soap and Princesses
Charlene POV
Maybeck's eyes didn't open. He didn't even move a muscle. Still asleep, as lifeless as ever.
"It didn't work?" Philby muttered.
"So I had to kiss HIM for NOTHING?!" I screamed. I took a couple deep breaths to calm myself down.
"Why didn't it work?" Philby whispered, scratching his head.
"Maybe we have to wait a second," Willa said.
"I don't think that will help," Finn said.
"I was sure it was going to work!" Philby was still talking to himself.
"Well, you guys can try and figure this out. I'm going to go wash my mouth with soap," I said, walking out of the room.
Maybeck POV
I shivered, freezing.
"Do you think he's dead?"
"Did you just see him shiver, he isn't dead!"
"But, he had the poison!"
"They didn't inject enough."
"Wouldn't there still be side effects?"
I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful, dark girl with long black hair leaning over me. I was too tired and dizzy to flirt with her, though.
"Who are you?" I whispered.
"Guys, look who's awake!" the girl said. another girl look over at me, her brown hair falling just past her shoulders. She looked at me with big, curious eyes.
"Good morning, Donnie Maybeck," she said, sitting down by me.
The rest of the girls came over to me, and then I know who they were.
"Jasmine?" I said, turning to the black haired girl. She nodded. The brown hair girl was Belle. There was also Aurora, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Merida. The girl in the water, holding onto the fence to keep herself up, was Ariel.
"Maybeck!" Rapunzel clapped happily.
"Don't worry, we got you away from the Overtakers," Tiana said.
I groaned. "Why am I so dizzy?" I asked sitting up. I winced, my stomach cramping up.
"It's side effects from the poison," Belle said.
"They tried to poison me?!" I gasped. "That was the injection thingy!"
The princesses nodded.
The girl with a bow and arrow bag slung over her shoulder, Merida, helped my up. I groaned and doubled over in pain.
"Merida! Can't you see the boy is sick!" Cinderella scolded.
"I'm...fine..." I grunted. "Thank...you for...saving..."
"You think we are just going to leave you here, in this condition?!" Ariel said.
"You're dreaming," Aurora said.
"Please...I can't...keep you guys..."
"No!" the princesses interrupted me.
"We never get to help other people! Just because we are princess!" Merida complained.
"We want to help the Keepers," Tiana said.
"They are going to try and poison everyone else, too," Cinderella said.
"No!" I gasped. "I have to help them!" Ugh. I felt like I was going to barf.
Cinderella took my hand. "I'll take you to my castle. Fairy Godmother will tend to you," she said. She turned to the other princess. "I will bring Maybeck back here tomorrow night. Good night, girls."
The princesses mumbled their goodnights and walked off, or, in Ariel's case, disappeared back under water.
Maybeck: Oooohhh! Surrounded by pretty girls!
Charlene: Ohhhhhh, soap taste TERRIBLE!
Me: OOOhhhhhhhh, REVIEW!
