A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry because I know it's been so long since my last update. I've been super busy yesterday. I went to a KK5 book signing yesterday and it was awesome! The book is really good so far. Anyway, I know you guys probably already wanna kill me so I won't delay any further. Without further ado, chapter 14, mourning again. Enjoy!

Wayne's eyes grew wide.

"They have Finn?" he said. Willa just nodded and panted. She could barely speak. Wayne went into the kitchen and got her a glass of water. Willa gratefully accepted it, and let the ice cold liquid run down her throat.

"Thank you." she said once she had caught her breath.

"Now explain to me everything that happened." said Wayne.

"Well , it's a long story. After Charlene got captured, Finn and I decided to look for the hostages in the dark rides, and we decided to start with the Haunted Mansion. Finn and I got on the ride, and from there everything started to collapse. The ride became out of control and soon, a ghost appeared in our car and grabbed Finn. After Finn was gone, they got me too. I wouldn't be here right now if I hadn't thought quickly. I was terribly motion sick, but I used it to my advantage. I hacked and heaved and made the ghosts holding me that I had some horrible, contagious disease. When I puked, they let me go and I ran." Wayne called Wanda, and in a few minutes she was there. Willa was downing some antacids to calm her stomach. Wayne was preparing dinner, and Wanda and Willa sat in total silence. When Wayne returned with plates of pasta, they began to talk.

"So here we are, mourning once again." said Willa. "Some summer this is turning out to be. Our goal was to defeat the overtakers by the end of the summer, and right now we're about as close to that as we were before we even knew about it. I just feel like it's all my fault. I should have done more to try and save them after they were all captured. I feel like such a failure." Wanda put a hand on Willa's shoulder.

"It's not your fault. Don't worry. Together, the three of us are going to find them no matter what it takes."

"NO!" screamed Willa. "You two cannot risk getting captured for me; especially Wayne. If he even puts a toe out of this apartment, they're going to grab him."

"Don't be riodiculous." said Wayne. "We are not going to leave you alone, no matter what the risk."

"Why?" said Willa.

"You'll understand when you're older and have children of your own." said Wayne. Suddenly, there was a loud banging at the door.

"HARDER!" screamed a voice, a voice that Willa instantly recognized and feared.

"Everyone hide!" she said.

Instantly, the three fled the table, and headed for the bedroom.

"HARDER!" Maleficent's voice screamed again. Willa could feel the floor shaking. They needed to hurry, because it wasn't hard to tell that the overtakers would soon be among them. Finally they reached the bedroom. Willa pushed hard on the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"It's locked!" she screamed.

"DAD!" screamed Wanda.

"I have important information in there that in the wrong hands could mean our demise."

"We don't have time for an explanation." said Willa. "Where's the key?"

"Inside the pocket of the green pot holder in my pot holder drawer." They all ran to the kitchen. Wanda reached the drawer first. She opened it as fast as she could and pulled the key out from the green pot holder. She raced for the door and Willa and Wayne followed. As she passed the door, Willa saw it beginning to come off of the hinges. Wanda unlocked the door and Willa heard the front door fall to the floor with a loud bang. Suddenly, there were footsteps.

"They're in here." Maleficent screamed. "Tear the place apart if you have to, just find them." Willa ran in the door as the overtakers began to run down the hallway, right towards the bedroom. Wanda stood holding the door open for Wayne.

"Go dad." she said.

"No." said Wayne. "You go first. I need to know that you're safe."

"No dad. I'm not letting you risk capture again for me. GO!" Wanda was crying.

"It doesn't matter what happens to me. You are much more important." Wanda could barely speak because she was crying so hard. Wayne still refused to move, so Wanda pushed him inside. The overtakers were fast approaching. There was no time for her to go into the bedroom. If she tried to go in, the overtakers would see the door closing behind her. She closed the door and watched as the overtakers came for her. Wayne was watching through the peephole, and when he saw the overtakers coming, he pushed on the door so he could save his daughter. He twisted the doorknob and pushed and pushed and pushed, but it wouldn't budge. Wanda had locked the door.

Wanda heard her father desperately trying to open the locked door. She had locked the door because she knew that he would try to come back for her. She couldn't risk losing him again. Two of the Haunted Mansion ghosts grabbed her. She didn't try to get away. She knew that doing so would only put Willa and her father into more danger. Then, Maleficent appeared, her long purple robe dragging behind her. Wayne continued to try and open the door, even though he knew he would not succeed. Willa sat and watched, too shocked to speak or move.

"Your little friend Finn lied." Maleficent cackled. "The Stone Cutter's quill was not in that stupid little museum." She turned to face the door that continued to bang as Wayne tried to open it. Maleficent now spoke directly to him.

"And you old man" she hissed. "We think you know where the real one is. If you ever want to see your daughter again, you can bring it to us at the Bay Lake by the time the clock strikes twelve tonight. It's your decision." Willa knew that Maleficent was not going to let Wanda go. She had experienced Maleficent's cruel, empty promises before. She knew that Wayne would do anything to try and save Wanda, and she didn't know what to say to him.

"DON'T DO IT DAD!" screamed Wanda. "IT'S A TRAP DON'T DO IT!" Wanda was crying "DON'T…" but before she could finish her sentence, she had disappeared along with the other overtakers. Wayne pushed on the door again and it swung open with ease. Just before she had disappeared, Wanda had unlocked the door. Wayne fell to his knees and sobbed.

So here we are thought Willa. Mourning again.
