A/N: Hey readers! Kingdomkeepers365 here. This chapter is going to answer any questions you had at the end of chapter two. Enjoy!
The room was silent for five minutes. No one spoke, no one ate, no one moved. All that could be heard was the sound of breathing. The kids were shocked by what they had just seen. Suddenly, the silence was broken.
"That's exactly what I saw." said Wayne. "I understand why it scared and confused you Jessica. At first, I felt the same way. Then, I figured it out."
"What does it mean?" asked Wanda. Suddenly, Amanda spoke up.
"I think I know." she said. "Think about it. The thing that's shocking us is that Prince Charming is a hero, not a villain. Plus, it's even scarier because he's her husband. I don't think that Prince Charming is a bad person. In fact, I don't think it. I know it. A few minutes ago, I was just as confused as you, but then I thought about Jess." They all still looked confused, but Wayne was smiling, and Amanda knew that she was right.
"It's obvious isn't it?" she said. "Jess isn't a bad person. She's not bad at all, but she still helped the overtakers catch Maybeck that one time, didn't she?"
"Please don't remind me of that. I'd rather forget that period of time in my life." said Jess.
"I know." said Amanda. "But knowing what happened to you during that period of time is key to understanding what you saw."
"I get it now!" said Jess. "Amanda you're a genius!"
"Thanks" said Amanda. The others still looked confused. "Oh for Pete's Sake!" she said. "The overtakers put a spell on Prince Charming just like the one they put on Jess!"
"That is precisely it." said Wayne. "Furthermore, what do you think they're planning to do with Cinderella? They've probably already done it."
"They're going to put the spell on her too!" said Jess. "Wait a minute! I get it! They're capturing all the good characters so that there won't be anyone to get in the way of their plans. They probably won't put the spell on Cinderella though. They're probably only putting it on people that they think could be of use to them. That's why they took Maybeck. That's why they're probably planning to take the rest of us. They want every cast member and character who's not on their side, either on their side, or out of the way. I'm not sure if they're going to put a spell on Maybeck. They might. I don't know. However, one thing I do know is that we're going to have to be super careful. They have a mission, and they won't stop until it's completed. It's our job to make sure that it isn't completed. It's our job to save everyone who they capture, and stop them before it's too late." Everyone stood there with their jaws on the floor. It was all clear now. Jess was right, and this was going to be a long, dangerous mission.
"I just can't believe it." said Finn. "You know what this means don't you?" The others shook their heads. All of them except for Amanda.
"It means we can't trust anyone." she said. "Anyone we meet, from Figment to Mickey Mouse himself, could be an overtaker."
"I think we need to be on the lookout for clues" said Jess.
"Didn't you just listen to anything I was saying?" said Amanda. "We can't trust anyone!"
"I know." said Jess. "What I meant is clues from Walt. We can trust anything from Walt. I think he was a seer like me and Wayne, but not just any ordinary seer. I think he was some kind of advanced seer who could see years and years in to the future. When you think about it, it makes sense. He wouldn't have left all the clues regarding the stone cutter's quill if he hadn't known that sometime in the future, when he was already long gone, that the overtakers would strike again. I think he knew everything that the overtakers were going to do. The only thing he didn't know, was the outcome. Nobody can know the outcome. That part is unwritten. That part is up to us. Anyway, what I'm saying is that just like he left clues regarding the stone cutter's quill, I think he left clues regarding this too."
"Even though I knew him..." said Wayne. "I don't know if he did, but I think you're right Jessica."
"As far as I can see" said Finn. "We need to stop this as soon as we can, before it gets out of can't let them get everyone, once they get everyone, there will be no hope. Once they get everyone, it's over. If they get everyone, we'll have no one on our side. Everyone would be against us. We wouldn't have a chance. "
"Way to keep it positive Mr. Sunshine." said Charlene. She giggled slightly, but soon stopped when no one followed. She knew that he was right. If everyone was captured and changed, all hope would be lost.
"We need to find Maybeck." said Finn. "Tonight."
"Well then let's go to sleep." said Willa.
"No." said Philby. "We can't." They all gave him a puzzled look.
"Think about it." said Philby. "If we save him, we'll need to cross over, and he won't. That means that we would either need to cross over and then have Maybeck leave the park, or have Maybeck leave the park and then cross over. Either way, we're leaving Maybeck alone which is not safe. We never leave anyone alone. That's our number one rule."
"Good point." said Finn.
"Well," said Wanda. "It's nine o'clock now. The park closes at ten. If we leave now, we can make it. Use your employee passes to get in, and then stay there and don't leave. If anyone questions you, you can say that you have to stay up all night fixing an attraction, or something like that. Get in the car. Let's go." The kids were about to walk out the door when Finn said,
"Wait. We haven't even decided where we're going!"
"Oh yeah. That might be a good idea." said Willa. They all laughed.
"I think we should start where Wayne and Jess saw that abduction." said Charlene. "The place where our lives changed forever. The Magic Kingdom."
