A/N: Hello loyal readers! Here's chapter ten! See, I promised I would have it in soon. Hope you enjoy it. Note to emotional readers: This chapter can spark sadness. Enjoy!

The next morning, Willa woke up and looked at the clock. It was already eleven AM! The other keepers were waking up too.

"Oh my gosh it's really late!" exclaimed Charlene. "We wanted to get to Pirates early. The sooner we can find the others, the better."

"I know" said Finn. "Why didn't Wanda wake us up earlier?" They all shrugged and climbed out of their sleeping bags. As they approached the living room, wonderful smells wafted up their nostrils. They could smell waffles, eggs, bacon and homemade muffins. When they walked inside, Wanda was setting the table.

"Oh good morning kids." she said smiling. "I was just about to wake you up. I made us a nice Sunday brunch." They all took their seats at the table.

"Why didn't you wake us up earlier?" said Finn. "We wanted to get to Pirates as soon as possible. We want to find the others as soon as we…" but his attention was quickly diverted.

"…ooh are those blueberry pancakes?" The kids began to help themselves to their favorite foods.

"Well…" said Wanda. "I knew you kids wanted to go in the morning, but I figured that you've had some rough nights and you needed your sleep. It's what was best for you." The kids shrugged the matter off, and dug in.

"Hey" said Willa, noticing an empty place setting next to Wanda. "Why did you set the table for six?"

"My dad's coming." said Wanda "and before you get all angry at me, I'll tell you that I tried to stop him. Last night, after you kids went to bed, I called him and told him what happened, and he insisted on coming. I tried to tell him not to, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Don't worry; I made him promise to come in disguise. You know, before this whole thing started, him and I used to have brunch every Sunday morning. I miss our father daughter brunches." Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Wanda walked over and opened the door.

"Hi daddy!" she exclaimed. They kissed each other hello, and Wayne came inside and took off his disguise. Wayne and Wanda took their seats, Wayne and the keepers exchanged their hellos, and Wayne began to help himself to some food.

"So" he said. "Wanda told me about what happened yesterday. I hate to say it, but our predictions our being proven true. The overtakers are trying to get everyone out of the way."

"What do you think we should do?" said Charlene.

"Well, I hear that you kids have come up with another plan."

"Yes." said Philby. "We were planning on searching in places where we've seen overtakers try to hide people before. Our plan is to go to Pirates of the Caribbean after brunch."

"I think that's a good idea. Whatever you children think is best. Just remember to be careful.

"Of course we'll be careful." said Finn. "Well, we better go get dressed." The keepers got out of their chairs, and ran up the stairs."

The kids waited on line for Pirates of the Caribbean wearing wigs and sunglasses so as not to be recognized. They had their fake employee passes in hand, so that they would be able to access the lower level where the dungeons were. Finally, they reached the loading area.

"How many in your party?" a cheery cast member asked them with a smile.

"Four" replied Finn and the cast member led them into a cue line for a boat. The boat arrived, and they climbed into the front row. Charlene looked behind her.

"Hey guys?" she said nervously. "Why isn't there anybody else in this boat?" Before another keeper could answer, the boat jerked forward and began to sail on through the ride. Charlene looked behind her again.

"And why aren't there any boats in front of or behind us?" All of the keepers had nervous expressions on their faces. This did not look good, but it was too late. There was no going back now.

Dead men tell no tales Eerie pirate voices chanted as the boat moved on through the ride.

Dead men tell no tales. Dead men tell no tales. Dead men tell no tales. Dead men tell no tales. Suddenly, another voice began to chant with them, one that the keepers knew all too well.

Dead men tell no tales Maleficent's voice chanted. The boat began to rock back and forth.

"WE'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!" screamed Finn, but before they could run, Maleficent said something again.

I don't think so. Suddenly, and electric fence appeared, stretching from the edge of the boat to the outer walls of the ride.

Dead men tell no tales, Dead men tell no tales. The pirates continued to chant the line over and over. Suddenly, the boat began to spin out of control. The keepers screamed. The boat stopped spinning and continued on as normal when it reached the foggy image of Captain Barbosa.

"Oh no." Willa said. "This cannot be gooooood" As she said the last word, she began to scream. The boat plunged over the drop and into the darkness. In the middle of the plunge, the boat stopped dead. There was no more music, no more chanting. It was silent.

"Is everyone OK?" asked Finn.

"Yes!" they all replied, panting heavily. Willa was holding on to Philby as tightly as she good. Suddenly, the track started up again, louder and faster this time.

Dead men tell no tales. Dead men tell no tales. Suddenly, there was a loud scream, and Willa felt her head hit the ride bench.

"Ouch!" she yelled, rubbing her head. Why had she fallen? And then, it occurred to her that she had been leaning on Philby's arm.

Oh no. She thought

"OH NO!" this time screaming it aloud. Before she knew it, the boat had continued down the drop and into the light. The ride did not continue. The cheery music did not play, the animatronics did not move. The boat sat there in silence. Now that Willa could see, she looked to her left to see what she had feared.

"NOOO!" she screamed in agony. "NO!" She broke down in tears, and buried her head in her hands. Charlene, who was sitting to her left, rubbed her back slowly, knowing what kind of pain she was feeling, because she had felt the same way when Maybeck had gone missing. Philby was gone.

A/N: Dun Dun Dun! And then there were three. Well? What did you think? You guys probably want to kill me for ending this one in a cliffhanger don't you? Well whatevs. Remember to leave your questions and reactions in a review along with your answers to this chapter's opinion questions.

1. Why do you think the cast member let the kids onto the boat and no one else?

2. Do you think the keepers should continue the journey into the dungeons, or should they just go home?

3. Was it too risky for Wayne to come to see Wanda even though he was in disguise?

4. Do you want to kill me for ending this chap. in a cliffhanger?

Well there you go, those are this chapter's opinion questions. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I hope you enjoy the next one. Bye
