Of course, when I said we should save Willa first, there were all kinds of complaints. Finn's the leader, Philby's the smartest, Wayne knows what's going on. I didn't care, I knew where Willa was and I didn't for the others. Besides, Willa was smart, brave, and she generally knew what was going on. We had to save her first.
I knew she was at the Animal Kingdom. The Overtakers would've taken her to quiet or empty places because they didn't know how long they would be captured. Animal Kingdom has been one of the Overtakers favorite places to trap people and Willa would seem to have no hope there. I knew something they didn't though, Willa had nature powers.
We took a bus to Animal Kingdom and entered the back way through the Cast Members door. We had to find Camp Minnie Mickey outfits and then step into the park in Camp Minnie Mickey. We also needed to figure out what happened to the old theater of the Pocahontas show. We easily found some costumes hanging from a rack and better yet, a costume for Meeko. We did a quick round of rock paper scissors and Jess was elected to be in the costume. Amanda would be her trainer, while I found a way in. Then, Meeko would step out for a break and we would go in the theater together.
We all got dressed in our costumes. Then, we stepped into the Florida sunlight. Bustles of people were coming out of the Lion King Festival so now would be a perfect time to start signing autographs. Amanda found an location and a line started forming very quickly. Soon, they were swamped with eager fans waiting to get an autograph and picture. I snuck around back to where I remembered the theater to be. It had been a while since it closed. It used to be my favorite show here when I was younger.
I had to push through a door marked Security Only without any problems. Then, a scanner came up from the wall and told me to scan my ID. Too bad, I didn't have an ID. I guess I would have to borrow one of those too. I went back down into the costume department and grabbed an ID someone had left in their locker.
I ran back up and Amanda the signal. Amanda waved the line of people away and waited for the last family to take their picture. Then, we all went back down to the costume department and changed into security guards. We went back up and entered the empty theater of Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends. We decided to simply walk up and start looking once we got through the scanner.
That, however, didn't work so well, because Willa was in plain sight. She was tied up against one of the trees they had as the scenery for the show. We ran right up to the stage, not even thinking it was a trap until it was too late and a human wall was between us and Willa. That wall was made up of Governor Radcliffe, from the Pocahontas movie.
"Ah, aren't you so cute? Trying to save your little friend? Well, as you may know, or may not know, I don't like leaving with nothing. My job is bringing something to the boss and I don't like to come home empty handed."
"Well, we don't either." Jess spoke up. I was surprised, she usually didn't say much like that.
"Ah, you want to bargain? Fine, you can let your friend go… but, one of you stays here." He steps out of the way so we can view Willa. She is shaking her head at us, telling us not to accept. I look at the other two girls standing by me and then Willa. I am weaker than all of them.
I step forward.
"Take me." Radcliffe smiles and unties Willa. I step up and take her place but before he ties me up, I start to speak.
"I want to make a deal with you. You have to tell them the location of Philby or I will run right away with them. I'm faster than you and you know that. Come on, if you do this, I won't just sit here, but I will help you." He considers this before nodding and nodding his head.
"Fine, you three. Philby, the smart boy, he is at the Hollywood Studios, being held by Lotso the Huggin Bear. Odd name. Anyway, I suggest you three get going. If I were Philby, I wouldn't be able to smell that strawberry any longer." He waves them off and they leave freely without any fight at all.
He takes me backstage of the show and I follow him. I will help him and maybe when I leave, I will have inside access into the Overtakers and the way they run. That is if I make it out alive.
So were you surprised when Charlene sacrificed herself? How about when Radcliffe told them where Philby was? Personally, I love writing about Losto the Huggin Bear, so cute and so evil! Please review and favorite this story! It's just one little button down there! Anyway, if you have reviewed in the past you seriously rock, love you!
