I'm very sorry I didn't update on Monday. I've been having a lot of homwork and I've practicing like crazy for my dance/voice recital that's really soon.

I'd like to dedicate this chapter to a a very special friend and inspiration of mine who is reading this. I don't think I need to explain things; she knows who she is. Yes, you are right, secret inspiration, the rhinestone earrings are magical! Thanks for all of your help! I can't wait to work with you this Summer! ;)

Trying something different this chap! Tell me how you like it, and if you want more!

Chapter 14: We Need to End This

She wrung her chained hands nervously and gazed out the only small window that was in the cell. Her view of the outside world was obscured because of the four or five bars that hung vertically in the middle. She longed to see more.

North Star was visible, though. That was the only thing she could see. She couldn't see the moonlight on the ocean. She couldn't see the happy dolphins that leapt for joy in the waves. She envied them. How can they be so happy…in a situation like this?

Oh, right. They are not sitting on a filthy floor in a cramped jail cell. I am, Amanda thought.

Looking at the North Star reminded her of a movie she last Friday. This time, Finn actually found a movie for movie night. Amanda was kind of hoping for Winter's Bone, but when he pulled out the DVD from behind his back, she was just as happy. The Princess and the Frog.

In the beginning of the movie, little Tiana was told by her father that if she wished on a star, her dreams would come true. She might be able to open up her restaurant. But only if she worked hard. Working hard and wishing worked hand in hand, according to him.

Before Amanda could ponder any farther, she heard that terrible voice again, coming from the room next to her.

"What do you mean they know?"

A gruff voice spoke now. "I dunno, miss. I's guessin' that they found out. Those strange sources from o'er there say the judge did it."

Amanda was interested now. She stood up and crept closer to the door. She leaned against the left side of the wall and listened intently.

"The judge? The judge told them?"Amanda heard footsteps travel towards the wall she was leaning on. She tensed.

"The imbecile! Why would he tell?"

"Uh…judge's honor, milady?"

Maleficent walked briskly to the pirate. "Judge's honor? Who cares about judge's honor!" She yelled. "I made him promise not to use the tactics of his profession!"

"Yes, milady. Me dunno why 'e did it, milady."

Maleficent paced nerevously back and forth. The pirate tried to explain things as she figured out how to fix it.

"Like I said, those strange ones made 'im," Amanda couldn't hear the next word he said, "and that was that. Me maties who saw some of it said it looked the same as the window ambush we setted."

What does her mean by it? Amanda mouthed to the other wall.

"Where is he? Do you know?"

"While lookin', me saw 'im on the other side of ship. O'er there."

"We need to find him. Before they find her."

Amanda suddenly was filled with excitement. The Keepers might be on their way?

"I'll send me maties there. Meanwhile…" his voice went down to a whisper, "where'll she go?"

"Yes. She can't be here. Move her…to the area we were talking about earlier."

"Alright, miss."

Amanda backed up toward the middle of the cell. They Keepers are not finding her. She's being moved. To where, she didn't know. But, from the sound of it, it wasn't pleasant.

She accidentally tripped and fell. She landed on here back, and rubbed it once she sat.

Once agian, she was interrupted of her thinking. The pirate came over to cell door and opened it.

"Time to go, girl."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Oh, no need to worry 'bout that. They're not gonna find ye anyway."

The pirate grabbed Amanda by the hand and forcefully led her out the door.

Before losing sight of the window, Amanda wished on that star that everything will be alright and that her friends were fine.

The star responded with a twinkle.

On my trip to Disney, I realized something…I've been spelling Maleficent wrong the whole entire story. It's Male…, not Mali…I still call her Mali, though.

I just want to let you guys know this in advance. This story, in the next few chapters, may not appear in this community. You may need to go to a different section to find this. I think some of you know what I mean. Anyway, if you don't understand, GOOD! Don't worry, everything will be explained soon. Too make sure you know where the story is, why do't you favorite or subscribe? *singsongy* Makes things a lot easier...
