I was actually writing this chapter on the way to Florida.

Chapter 5

I went to my bedroom as soon as we entered our driveway. Dad seemed to be concerned about me for a minute but let it slide. I am a terrible liar at times. My dad could see through most lies instantly. He probably saw through my lie earlier today about needing to see Finn. I don't know what he knows these days.

I fell asleep after about twenty minutes or so and awoke in the Magic Kingdom. It still felt weird being here after hours. I needed to find the others fast. Every minute wasted gives the Overtakers an advantage.

"Daisy!" I called out. "Ian! Kyle!"

"Forgetting someone?"

I spun around to see Jenny leaning against the firehouse. I saw that in her hand was a quill.

"What do you got there?" I asked. I hoped it wasn't something she could stab me with.

"You're not the only person who has a 1st generation friend." Jenny snapped. "Charlene gave this to me this morning."

"She gave it to you?" I asked.

"She owed me for when I loaned her twenty dollars." Jenny said.

"Why would you want a quill?" I asked.

"This isn't just any quill!" Jenny shouted. "It's the Stonecutter's quill."

"Why is it so important to have this?"

"Someone wants it desperately. I need to protect it." Jenny said.

"I didn't know you care about stuff." I said.

"Don't judge a book by its cover." Jenny said. "Anyway, the point is, we need to get the gem at Aladdin's attraction."

"Gem?"

Jenny rolled her eyes at my remark. "Seriously, why'd Mark choose you? The gem the Overtakers are after is at the flying carpets ride!"

I ignored the insult. "Then where are the others?"

"They're still trying to get some sleep I think." Jenny said. "They better hurry."

Jenny scares me a bit. She talks in this nonchalant tone, like this is all normal to her. She doesn't get excited over things, and I'm pretty sure that if I was gushing blood she would say 'cool'. She always wears black and has dark blue highlights.

It took a while before Daisy arrived. Kyle and Ian appeared after her. Kyle and Ian actually arrived at the same time, which was a little bit strange.

When everyone was up to speed we went to the flying carpet ride. Overtakers were everywhere, guarding something. It had to be the gem. We hid along the trees. I could barely see Jenny as her clothing blended into the background. Kyle was the same. Daisy had to lie the lowest since she had bright colors on her, like a neon pink shirt and light blue skinny jeans.

Light bares down on us from above suddenly. I shield my eyes. A witch on a flying broom was shining a light down at us. She was shrieking at us. I heard pirates yell and scream for us. We've been spotted.

"Run!" Kyle and I said at the same time. I blush, great minds think alike.

We all dashed for the carpet ride when I heard Daisy crash from behind us. I looked back to see her limp body lying on the pavement. Pirates came and took her away. They tied her up and duct taped her mouth.

"Daisy!" I screamed.

I stopped abruptly and sprinted back to Daisy. A pirate cut me off when I was halfway to her. He swung his sword at me. I ducked and avoided what would have taken my head off. I kicked the back of his knees. His legs buckled and he fell hard on his face.

Kyle was fighting a pirate with a sword he had claimed from another. I did the same and grabbed the unconscious pirate's sword out of the scabbard. I wielded it around, daring anyone to fight me. That's when a pirate knocked me down from behind.

I scraped my hands and knees on the sidewalk. I pretended to appear weak but as soon as the pirate went in front of me I sliced his ankle with my sword. He let out a cry and fell.

I turned to Kyle to see a pirate rip his shirt off. I staggered over to a bench. Kyle was hot. I shook the thought out of my head. Don't be disgusting. I told myself. Go for the gem!

I sprinted to the attraction and hopped over the railing. There were a ton of fake jewels at the base of the ride but there will be only one real gem. But I couldn't tell a rhinestone from a diamond. How can I find a gem here?

I searched the gems before one of them caught my eye. It was shining so brightly that I knew it was the one. I ran a finger over the poorly cut stone. I couldn't see this not to be the gem. I pried it from the ride and held it in my open hands. It was a deep blue color. It seemed to capture the moon's light and shine for all to see. I slipped it into my pocket so I wouldn't drop it.

I turned to find the team being collected off the ground by pirates. They were oblivious that I was here. Then I saw Kyle being shot by a dart in the neck. He flopped to the ground with his eyes closed. My heart stopped for a moment.

Before I gained sense I was swinging my sword at the pirates like a maniac. They fought back but most weren't successful. Some went running for their lives. Finally, one worth fighting showed up. He was the leader of the pirates. I slashed my sword at his arms but he defended with his sword. We went at this for five minutes until he knocked me on my knees and I was at mercy to his sword. But he slid his sword back into his leather belt.

I was clueless until I felt a sharp pain in my arm. I looked at my arm and saw a red dart in my arm. Fear overcame me and I tried with all my might to run. The pain was gone and numbness took its place. I ran faster. I saw Jenny hiding in some bushes. I felt like pleading to her but she shushed me. I can't give away her position.

"Where's Ian?" I whispered as I collapsed to the ground.

Jenny had a pained look on her face as she looked over me. Ian was captured. I never knew Jenny had sadness in her small list of emotions. She seemed to be very upset.

"I'm sorry." She said. She walked away silently. I reached out to where Jenny was, but it was pointless. I struggled to remain awake.

"Stop resisting!" A witch called from the sky.

I felt another dart pierce my back and I was knocked out cold.
