Finn's POV:

Maybeck, Jess, and I walked nonchalantly through the 'Security/Authorized Personnel Only' door. We're the Kingdom Keepers, we are authorized personnel. Maybeck lead the way, Jess behind him, and me at the back.

"Wait, where should we go? It's a ride... we don't know of any trap doors, though." Jess asked.

"Let's just go behind the props and animatronics after the boat comes through." Maybeck said. He lead us into the control room.

"Wait, the cameras are on and recording, but there's no one in here. Shouldn't there be a cast member in here?" I asked.

"Finn, quit worrying. As long as we find Charlene and my sister." Jess said.

"No, Whitman's right. Something's up. Could this be a trap?" Maybeck asked.

"Everything could be a trap, when it comes to the OT's." Finn said.

"Look at the cameras. The boat should be passing by... now." Jess watched for the boat. "Alright, let's go."

Willa's POV:

"Okay... So where would they be?" I asked. "I mean, it's a cottage. Maybe we should look somewhere else."

We stood in a line to meet Princess Aurora in her cottage. It's not even the real Princess Aurora, or it shouldn't be. But, it couldn't hurt to look.

"Just, let's look. Maybe Princess Aurora knows something. Hopefully it's not just a cast member." Philby said irritably.

"Okay." I said quietly. We got to the front and Aurora's eyes widened. She whispered something to the cast member next to her.

"Princess Aurora would like you to wait on the side, please." Her cast member said in a high pitched voice. She lead us to a table in another room, sat us down and left.

"Wow, they really went all out on this, didn't they?" I asked, taking in the scenery.

"Yeah they definitely did. Listen, I'm sorry about snapping at you before..." Philby sighed.

"It's okay, Philby. Really. We're all under pressure here, and I know you and Finn are under the most amount, you two being the smartest, the ones who have to make the toughest decisions. I really do get it." I said knowingly.

"I shouldn't feel so pressured, though, I mean I am because it's Amanda and Charlie, but I wouldn't even be functional if it were you. I shouldn't be the one who's falling apart. Maybeck and Finn are doing a great job at keeping it together, but I'm not. It doesn't make sense, at all." Philby said sadly.

I didn't know what to say. I stood up and walked over to him. "Philby, it's okay. You're doing the best you can, and that's all that matters. We can't keep it together all the time. Terry doesn't, and Finn certainly doesn't either!" I hugged him reassuringly.

Knock Knock Knock!

I turned around and saw Princess Aurora standing there, smiling softly. "Princess." I curtsied.

"Oh, there is no need for that." Princess Aurora smiled. She was the real Princess Aurora.

"We need your help." Philby said.

"I heard about your missing friends; Charlene and Amanda." She started. "We know what happened to them."

"You do?! Where are they!?" I asked frantically, wanting my best friends back.

"We don't have any information on where they are for sure, but we do know one thing; They are what you call, green-eyes. They were seen on the cameras by Prince Eric, walking with Tia Dalma. We think that they are somewhere around The Enchanted Tiki Room. We are not positive, though." Princess Aurora informed us.

"No! They can't be on HER side!" I wailed.

"They... They killed... one character and badly injured three last night..." Princess Aurora tried not to cry.

"Oh no. Who... W-who did they k-kill?" Philby stuttered. I grabbed his hand, ready to cry.

"They k-killed... Hercules... and injured T-Tarzan, Mowgli, and Mulan..." Princess Aurora said in a daze. Her eyes glassed over. "I must go now. Tell the others, and hurry, before others are killed or hurt. Please."

"We will, I give you my word as a Kingdom Keeper and Disney lover." Philby stepped up. Aurora nodded her head and left. Her assistant walked back in.

"Please, when you leave, go through the back door." She said in her annoying high pitched voice.

"We're leaving now." Philby said, somehow not breaking down.

The assistant left and I stood there in shock. "That couldn't have been Amanda and Charlie... It just... They must've made a mistake!"

"Hey, hey. Calm down, Willa. The best thing to do in this situation is not panic, and text Finn or Maybeck." Philby said so calmly.

"O-Okay..." I whispered. I pulled out my phone and texted Finn.

Me: Finn, big prob. Meet us at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Mainstreet. ASAP.

"I told them where to meet us. Let's go, we're on the wrong side of the Parks." I sighed.

Maybeck's POV:

We walked through the props and found a very well hidden door. "Let's go."

"Wait." Finn said as he looked down at his phone.

"Really? Hurry." Jess whined.

"Guys, there's a big problem apparently. We need to meet Philby and Willa on Mainstreet." Finn said.

"Let's check this out first, then we'll go." I said.

"Okay." Finn walked through the door cautiously. It was a meeting room, or that's what it looked like. "Through here."

Finn lead us in the room, where Maleficent sat. "Hello, children."

"Where are the girls?" I demanded.

"Oh, them? They are none of your concern. But don't worry, they're alive." Maleficent laughed. The door behind us slammed and locked.

I spun around only to meet a punch in the face from Charlie. I fell backwards to the floor. Amanda pushed Finn across the room into the wall. Charlene had green eyes, so did Amanda. Jess shoved Amanda down and pinned her. Charlie kicked her off and Amanda got up. She tied Jess to a chair, and looked at Finn. Charlene was wearing a black tank top, skinny jeans and combat boots. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail. Amanda wore the same, and had her hair in a ponytail as well. They looked so angry... It hurt to think about what they must have done to them. Charlene tied me to a chair, I didn't really resist because it was Charlie... I couldn't hit her, I'd never be able to forgive myself. Amanda did the same to Finn, although he tried to push her away. That didn't work... at all. Soon enough, all three of us were tied to chairs across the room from Maleficent, Charlene, and Amanda.

"Silly boys." Maleficent cackled. "You didn't believe you could defeat me and my darling girls, Cherith and Amorite, did you?"

The girls glared daggers at us. What did she tell them?

"We can beat you anyday." Jess spat. "We just don't want to hurt our best friends." Jess was on the verge of tears.

"Oh, no! They aren't your best friends anymore." Maleficent sneered.

"That's because YOU BRAINWASHED THEM!" I lost it and screamed at her. I was sobbing now, and Finn and Jess looked at me and they looked so terrified and depressed.

Charlene or Cherith, walked over to me and slapped me. "She didn't brainwash us. She showed us what you did to us." Charlene gave me the death stare.

"What could we have done to you that'd you'd believe this witch!?" Jess screamed.

"Ah, Jezebel." Maleficent smiled. "So great to see you again."

"MY NAME IS JESS! NOT JEZEBEL!" Jess screamed.

"For now." Maleficent sang. "Untie her."

The girls did as they were told. Jess rammed into the girls and knocked them down.

"JESS, RUN!" I yelled.

Jess sprinted out the door and left to get help. I felt slightly relieved.

Maleficent was furious. "I'll get her. Stay here and guard them. Do not let them escape! Be sure to torture them."

Maleficent left, leaving us alone with two green-eyes who hated us.

"Charlie... Please. I know you're in there." I pleaded.

She walked over and I closed my eyes, expecting a slap. "My name, is Cherith. Not Charlie. That girl that you used to know, is no longer here. So suck it up and deal with it." Charlie hissed.

"What did she tell you?" Finn asked, obviously disgusted with the way they acted now.

"You should remember." Amanda snapped.

"No. We don't. We didn't do anything." I shot back.

"Does leaving me to drown ring a bell?" Charlie said harshly.

"Or leaving me to die in a fight?" Amanda yelled.

Philby's POV:

I paced back and forth by our table. "Where are they? They should be here by now. Something must have happened."

"Philby, you're overreacting. Nothing happened. I'm sure they're fine." Willa attempted to comfort me. I looked behind me, hearing loud footsteps.

"Philby! Willa! Run!" Jess yelled, looking behind her. "Never... mind..."

Jess sat down and I went to the counter to buy her a water bottle. I walked back and handed it to her. "What happened? Where are Finn and Maybeck?"

"Pirates..." Jess wheezed. She drank the rest of her water and was breathing better. " Phil? Could you get me another water?"

"Of course! Be right back." I said.

"Thank you." Jess said as I handed her the bottle.

"Okay, now where are they?" Willa asked worriedly.

"Charlie and Amanda, they're green-eyes. They tied us up and Maleficent asked them to untie me, I guess so she could turn me back into Jez, and I made a run for it." Jess explained.

"We have to go back for them!" I yelled. People at the next table looked over at us.

"We can't. I barely escaped 'Cherith' and 'Amorite'." Jess said.

"Well, for starters, let's talk to Wayne." I said. "Or Wanda, Dillard, and even Storey."

"Alright, let's check Wayne's apartment." Willa said.

We walked to the Firehouse to discover that not many people were there. We quickly ran in and found the lights on.

"Ah, children. Such a lovely day, isn't it?" Wayne smiled happily.

"It was, until I was almost killed." Jess said flatly.

"Oh, dear. What happened?" Wayne asked. Before Jess could answer, Wanda came bursting through the door, soaking wet. "Wanda? What's going on?"

Wanda wrapped herself in the towel Wayne handed her. "Charlene and Amanda are on their side..."

"Why was I not alerted that they went missing?" Wayne asked.

"Well, I was trying to tell you." Jess said.

"Okay. Go ahead." Wayne rushed.

"We were looking for them in Pirates of the Caribbean, because Tia Dalma had run off with them, and when we went into one of the cast member doors, Maleficent and Amanda and Charlie ambushed us. I was able to make a break for it, though. Amanda and Charlie seemed very mad at us." Jess explained.

"Well, I should think so. They are under Maleficent's spell." Wayne said.

"So, our next plan of action? Finn and Maybeck are taken hostage! We have to do something!" Willa exclaimed.

"I know exactly what to do." Wayne smiled.
