Jess' POV…
Willa blinked a few times, and slowly opened up her eyes. I smiled.
"Hey, what's up?" I had been sitting in the chair next to her bed, waiting for her to wake up.
"Not much… where is…everyone?" she said weakly. It was almost as if she had gotten worse.
"They, uh, went to go fight an evil witch…ha…"
"WHAT!" she coughed. "Are… they okay?"
"Umm… most likely?"
She groaned.
"They'll be fine."` I said.
They'll be fine, but maybe we won't be.
The truth was, I only told them half the dream I had. The other half was Maleficent talking to her 'minions'. She was telling them to go to the hospital, and finish us off. That's why I always stay with Willa now.
"What's for breakfast?" Willa asked, pointing at the tray on the table to her left.
"Mush." I got up, and handed her the tray.
"Eeeewww…. Applesauce, and… why… are these pancakes…green?"
"Don't eat them, then."
Willa shrugged.
"CODE RED, CODE RED, SECURE ALL PATIENTS!" Came an urgent voice over the loudspeaker.
Willa and I exchanged a worried glance. I knew exactly what was happening, even though she didn't.
I ran and locked the doors to her room.
Philby's POV…
"Ugghhhh! I don't get why we have to stay here! I'm better now, they put us in casts, and bandaged us up so we can LEAVE now!" Maybeck practically shouted out the door.
"Shut up, will ya? Stop complaining, and enjoy the free food." I said. Well, there wasn't much else to enjoy here. The food wasn't even that great. In fact, it was gag-worthy. Just enjoy the principle that it was free, I guess.
Maybeck glared at me. "Well, I'm bored." He got out of his bed, put some pants on, and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"For a walk. You coming, red?"
"I HATE that name!"
"Exactly. Come on."
I got out of bed and followed him. We walked down to the cafeteria, and sat down.
"After this we should go check on the girls." I suggested.
"Oh, why don't you just kiss her already!" Maybeck chuckled.
"Wh-What!" I stuttered.
"EVERYONE knows you like Willa, except you and Willa!"
"Well…uh…uh… does she like m-me?" I said nervously.
"Ah… I dunno…" Maybeck said, a sly grin on his face.
Does she like me? What if she doesn't? What if she knows I like her! AHHHH!
As my brain went into overdrive, the loudspeaker came on.
"CODE RED, CODE RED, SECURE ALL PATIENTS!"
What? Why would the hospital need to 'secure all patients'?
"What's that about?" Maybeck said.
"I don't know…" I said slowly.
"Yeah… Maybe we should…"
"Check on the girls? Yeah, let's go…"
We got up and walked to the elevator. Maybeck, who had been looking out the window, saw something, and his face turned to an expression of worry, terror, fear, and hatred all in one.
"What?" I said, already knowing the answer, but praying I was wrong.
"Overtakers. They're here."
The elevator wasn't getting here fast enough. I darted for the stairs, and Maybeck followed.
"Hurry!" I yelled. I stopped at a door. "What floor is this?"
"I dunno," Maybeck pushed the door open. We were immediately greeted by a horde of angry pirates.
I looked at the sign. Floor Three. "Wrong floor! RUN!"
We ran back onto the stairs, and continued up, one more floor, then two.
"Floor Five! Go through that door!" Maybeck yelled from behind me.
We pushed through the door, and saw that the OT's had not yet reached this floor.
"Room 550!" I said.
525, 530, 540, 555…wait!
I turned around, found 550, and tried the door.
Locked.
"Willa! Jess, let us in! It's Phil and Maybeck! Open the door!"
I glanced down the hall; the pirates had now made it to this floor. The door opened, and Jess pulled the two of us in. She saw the pirates, too, and slammed the door shut; locking it.
"What… What's going… on?" Willa whimpered, her face pale.
Jess sighed, and sat on Willa's bed. "Don't freak out…But the OT's are here, trying to kill us while we're down…"
Willa's face scrunched up, in anger. Or terror. Or pain. "We're… not safe anywhere! We… we're in the hospital… recovering from… lethal injuries, and they can't just leave us alone… for once!" I'm not exactly sure, but I think she was crying as Jess hugged her.
I wish I could hug her .AGH! DUDE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
Pushing that awkward thought out of my head, I heard banging against the door.
"What was that?" Jess was worried.
"Pirates." Maybeck said. He gulped.
"What do we do?" I said.
"Jess, can you carry Willa?"
She shrugged. "Possibly?" She walked over and attempted to carry Willa. She couldn't.
"No, sorry." Jess whispered.
"How about wheel her in a wheelchair?" I suggested.
"I can do that." she said.
We helped Willa into a wheelchair, and I looked at Maybeck. "Okay, how're we supposed to get out of here?"
"We fight."
"What? We have nothing to fight with!"
"Get ready." He said. He opened the door, and the two pirates trying to get in fell into the room. He kicked one in the head. He dropped his sword, Maybeck picked it up and decapitated the other one. Then he stabbed the first one. He picked up the other sword, and tossed it to me.
"Ready?" he said.
I took a deep breath. "Let's go."
We charged out of the room, taking down two pirates outside the door. Jess followed with Willa.
We ran down the hallway, taking down tons of audio-animatronics. We slowly made our way to the elevator, and got in. The doors closed, and we sat there.
"Oh… my…god." I panted.
"Yeah, I know." Maybeck said. "Everyone… okay?"
"You… You have a giant gash in your leg." Jess said, looking at Maybeck.
"Yeah, Philby's arm is cut open…" I looked down, and saw the blood rushing from my arm. I looked at Willa, smiled, and shrugged, but I saw she had a gash in her forehead, from flying debris, I'm guessing. It was a small gash, but it had a bruise forming around it.
"Ooh, you okay?"
"Yeah, Philby. I'm fine."
I smiled.
Ding!
That noise hit me like a slap in the face. Time to fight again.
We walked out of the elevator. Strange- no one's here. No nurses, patients, doctors, but most noticeable- no OT's. We walked to the end of the hallway in silence, and then turned to the exit.
And standing in our way, double swords raised, was Blackbeard.
Maybeck looked at me, and we knew what we had to do.
Jess' POV…
Philby and Maybeck stopped in front of Blackbeard. They exchanged a glance… and… charged.
The sound of metal on metal was terrifying, and sort of exciting at the same time.
Maybeck and Philby fought like they had done this their whole life. For some strange reason, they were amazing at sword-fighting. I looked on, while protectively standing in front of Willa, should any OT's show up.
Block, strike, jump, strike, block, duck.
I observed them fighting. All of the sudden, Blackbeard flew backwards. That gave enough time for Philby and Maybeck to run up and stab the pirate, finishing him off. Amanda (she must've 'pushed' Blackbeard) came running through the doors, then Finn, then Charlie.
"Oh my god." Amanda said, hugging me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Amanda."
"You sure?"
"Yes! I'm fine! Now we really should get the hell out of here!"
"Yeah, we should. Come on." Finn said, as the whole group walked (or wheeled) out.
"Hello children!" I heard as we walked out.
"WAYNE!" the group said simultaneously. We turned to see him driving a Disney bus, but the rest of the bus was empty.
"Get in, before the OT's notice you're leaving!"
We climbed in the bus, and sat down. There were suitcases in the back of the bus-our suitcases.
"We're leaving." Wayne said.
"What!" I practically shouted.
"We're going back to Florida. But we can't send you home looking like that." He chuckled. "As far as your parents know, you'll still be here for another week, but you'll actually just be in Florida for a week."
"How do we explain the broken bones?" Maybeck asked.
"Or… the fact… that I can't….breath?" Willa added, and we all looked at her with worry.
"You okay?" I said, putting a hand on her back.
"I'm…. good, I think…"
"Alright…"
"Anyway. As far as your parents are concerned, you are fine… for now…" Wayne said, squinting.
"For now?" Amanda said. The way he said it worried all of us.
"Yes. See, the last day we're 'here', on the way to the airport, you get in a horrible car accident, the four of you. So, you end up in the hospital when you get to Florida. Good story, huh?"
"It could work." Finn said slowly.
"Yeah, maybe… oh my god, is… that?" Willa gasped.
"What?" I said.
"Yes, Willa, good eye! That is a private jet for all of you." Wayne chuckled.
We erupted in 'oh my god's and 'holy crap's.
"We get a private jet!" Charlene said, a little too excited.
We got closer, and we saw it; A blue plane, decorated like all of the Disney Airlines planes. Except this one was a lot smaller, and on the side, in black letters, were two giant k's, the park's DHI logo. One of the k's was backwards; the other forward. The Kingdom Keepers private jet… oh yeah, I could get used to this!
…
How insanely and utterly awesome would a kingdom keepers private jet be? Anyway, I thought I'd gie them something nice after the heck they've been through so far.
Oh, and I think there's gonna be another chapter, then that's the end.
And just imagine Philby and Maybeck running through the hospital hallway in slow-mo, taking down hordes of pirates! AMAZINGLY AWESOMENESS.
Adios for now, muggles.
Oh, btw... REVIEW!
