It was getting close to dark by the time the Kingdom Keepers found a good place in the woods to camp out.
The boys went out to find wood for fire while the girls went to get cleaned off.
They were still covered in mud after the giant fight.
Dillard was walking through the bushes collecting sticks.
He then came to an opening, and he saw an amazing sight.
From where he was spying, he saw them.
Jess, Charlene, and Willa had stripped down to their undergarments and they were cleaning themselves off.
He remained perfectly still and quiet so he could watch.
He watched them run their hands up and down their smooth, sleek skin, washing mud off.
He watched them also do the same thing with their legs and chests.
He held his breath to hold back his excitement.
He felt like he was staring at a bunch of goddesses.
"Hey Dill!" said a voice almost too loudly.
He quickly turned and saw Maybeck right behind him.
Before he could say another word, Dillard pulled him down and covered his mouth.
"Quiet you buffoon," he said. "You'll ruin the show!"
"Show?" Maybeck whispered.
He then looked up and saw what he was talking about.
"Sweet Christmas!" he gasped quietly.
"Your girl is beautiful," said Dillard.
"My girl?" asked Maybeck.
"Charlene," said Dillard. "And don't try to deny it. I've seen you both looking at each other."
"Just like how I've seen you staring at Jess?" asked Maybeck.
"Quiet!" Dillard whispered.
He then looked up and saw Jess staring almost directly at them.
"Oh god she's staring!" he gasped. "Remain still!"
They both did so, and after a while Jess looked away.
They both watched as then the girls began to splash one another.
It was an amazing, yet arousing sight for them. (Yes I had to say it.)
Later that night, everyone was sitting around the campfire eating and talking.
Finn saw it too many times amongst everyone.
Love spreading.
Willa and Philby were gazing at one another.
Maybeck and Charlene laughed together.
He sighed heavily.
They both were having fun.
And then suddenly, both of the couples started kissing.
He couldn't believe it.
"Well that escalated quickly," he said to himself.
He tried to hide his jealousy by looking away.
But he also saw Dillard and Jess struggling to look or talk at them.
It gave him an idea.
"Hey lovebugs!" he yelled to the couples. "Can you take your business elsewhere please?"
They looked at Finn.
"Why?" asked Philby.
Finn motioned his eyes at Dillard and Jess.
"Oh ok!" said Maybeck.
The four of them walked off to kiss somewhere else.
"And I'm going for a walk," said Finn. "I'll just leave you two here alone."
Dillard and Jess just stared as Finn walked away.
They were all alone.
For a while Dillard and Jess said nothing.
They just stared into the fire silently.
Dillard broke the promise.
"So…" he stammered.
"Yes?" asked Jess.
"Uh…" Dillard stammered. "You have a family?"
"Family?" asked Jess.
"Yeah," said Dillard. "We said we would help you get to Holly Kingdom to get transport there to Magi Kingdom. You have a family waiting for you?"
Jess sighed.
"Sadly no," she said. "They were killed when I was little."
"Oh," said Dillard. "I'm sorry."
"I was taken in by a mage and taught magic," said Jess. "More advanced probably then Philby."
"That's cool," said Dillard.
"So what about you?" asked Jess. "How long have you been a knight?"
"Me?" asked Dillard. "Oh I'm not a knight. I'm just simply a farmer's boy."
"But I saw you fighting," said Jess.
"Yeah Finn taught me," said Dillard. "We both live in High Disneyland. Been best friend's since we were kids."
"Oh cool," said Jess.
"When Finn started to train to be a knight, he began giving me lessons," said Dillard. "Taught me how to fight really good."
"Sweet," said Jess.
"Yes you are," said Dillard.
He then gasped and covered his mouth.
"I'm so sorry!" he said. "That slipped out by accident and…"
"It's ok," said Jess. "I don't mind."
"Are you sure?" asked Dillard.
"You already saw me half naked," said Jess. "I don't care so much."
"Oh you saw me…" sighed Dillard.
"I kind liked it," said Jess.
"You did?" asked Dillard.
They both just smiled at one another.
"So you wouldn't care about anything?" asked Dillard.
"To an extent," said Jess.
"Would you care if I kissed you?" asked Dillard.
"I guess I wouldn't," said Jess. "But why don't we have a drink first?"
Dillard nodded.
Jess reached into her bag and pulled out canister.
"Ever drank wine?" she asked.
"A few times," said Dillard.
"Try this," said Jess.
She took a sip first.
Then she handed Dillard it.
Dillard smiled and then took a sip.
He enjoyed the taste of the liquid run down his throat.
He then stopped drinking and stared at Jess.
"How about that kiss?" he asked.
Jess smiled and simply puckered her lips.
Dillard then leaned in to let his touch hers.
But then suddenly, Dillard felt his head hurt.
He began to feel really dizzy.
He leaned away and grabbed his head.
"Are…you okay?" asked Jess.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," said Dillard.
He tried to lean in again but almost fell over.
"You look sick," said Jess.
"No! No!" exclaimed Dillard. "I'm ok!"
He then stood up, but began to wobble.
"I just need…to take a breath, sit down, and…and…" Dillard stammered.
He then fell straight on the ground.
"Go to sleep…" he whispered as he lied down.
He just fell in the dirt and didn't get up.
He only snored very loudly.
He was out cold.
Jess just stared, and then sighed in relief.
"Ugh," she said. "Like I'd ever kiss a farmer's boy."
She then looked around everywhere, and quickly snapped her fingers.
A wave of light shot from her hand and blasted everywhere.
She could hear distant thuds in the forest, knowing it was the Kingdom Keepers falling down knocked out.
"That spell will keep them out long enough," she said. "And so will the poison Dillard drank."
She stood up and clapped her hands.
"Time to get to work," she said.
She walked over to Finn's bag and began rummaging through it.
She tossed out everything until she found what she was looking for.
She pulled out the map that led to the sword.
"Excellent," she said.
She grabbed the map and then walked up to the fire.
She sat down on her knees and began to speak quiet into it.
She was using a spell.
Then suddenly, the fire burst for second and was replaced with an image.
An image of Maleficent.
"Hello Mistress," she said.
"You're late Jezebel," said Maleficent. "I don't like being kept waiting."
"Forgive me," said Jess. "I had to wait for the right time."
"You could've done it last night," said Maleficent.
"I couldn't just do all this and then leave," said Jess. "I would've gotten lost in those woods, and then probably captured and killed by those forest savages."
"It doesn't matter," said Maleficent. "Do you have it?"
Jess smiled and show the map.
"Right here," she said.
"Excellent," said Maleficent. "Frollo is waiting in Holly Kingdom. Meet with him there. And then find the sword, and destroy it!"
"Yes Mistress," said Jess. "As your servant who you found as a kid and raised, I will not fail you."
"Excellent," said Maleficent. "Soon there will be nothing that can stop us. And finally I will…"
She was suddenly interrupted by the sounds of screaming.
Steam poured out of Maleficent's ears as she darted towards the side.
"JAFAR!" she roared. "STOP TORTURING THE PRINCESS!"
"Oh come on!" yelled Jafar in the distance. "I'm just giving her tattoos!"
"BURNING SCARS ON HER IS NOT A TATTOO!" Maleficent roared.
"Well he looks like he's having fun," said Jess.
"I've got to go heal the princess," sighed Maleficent. "Do not fail me!"
"I will not," said Jess.
Maleficent smiled and then walked away, and the image disappeared, simply becoming a fire again.
Jess stood up and stuffed the map in her bag.
She put it over her shoulder and stared at Dillard.
She made a small evil laugh.
"Later suckers," said she as she walked off into the night.
All the Keepers could do nothing as they were all out cold.
OMG! Just like in the books, Jess was a traitor working for Maleficent! But did you like the cute couple moments? I know I did. Stay tuned for what will happen next! Will they be able to stop Jess? Find out!
