A/N: Okay guys here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

Willa broke down. She fell to her knees and cried harder than she had ever cried in her entire life. The overtakers had gone too far this time. They had taken her mother, the person she loved more than anyone in the world away from her. Willa heard the sound of the TV. The sound was coming from her mother's bedroom. Willa slowly stood up, and still crying, walked down the hallway. The door was wide open, so she walked in. Sure enough, the TV was still playing her mother's favorite movie, The First Wives Club, and her mother's bed was empty.

The sheets were lying on the floor next to the bed in a heap. Her mother's glasses were on the night stand, the lenses shattered. The mattress was covered in hot tea, the ceramic mug that it had spilt from laying next to it. Willa looked at the TV again. She started to cry as she was flooded with memories. She remembered how many times she had sat there, on that bed, her mother's arm around her, watching that movie.

She remembered the feeling of the warm popcorn bowl that rested on their laps. She remembered how they would stay up late when a marathon was on. How they would watch the movie over and over until they finally fell asleep. How they would wake up to find popcorn strewn all over the bed. Willa turned off the TV, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her. The pain was just too overbearing. Willa heard her phone buzzing from inside of her purse. "New voice mail" it read. Willa entered her pass-code so as to listen to the message. Then, she emitted a sorrowful squeak. The message was from her mom.

Hi sweetie. There's a "First Wives Club" Marathon on tonight. It just started. Do you think maybe you'd like to come home just for one night? Call me back when you get this. Love you sweetie! Hope to see you soon. Bye!

Willa fell to her knees and sobbed again.

After having a quick snack back at her house, Willa had called a taxi to take her back to Wanda's apartment. She sat in the back of the taxi cab, trying to hold back her tears. Her shirt was covered with so many tears, it looked as if she had jumped into a pool with it on. She rummaged through her pocket book for a tissue. After looking for a while, coming up with nothing more than candy wrappers, old hall passes, and spare coins, she found something. It wasn't a tissue, but it sure did intrigue her. There, in her hand, was a perfectly folded piece of lined paper. She had been crying so hard that her hands were shaking with every movement that she made. Slowly, with her cold, weak, shaky hands, she unfolded the piece of paper. The content shocked her. She began to read the letter that looked like it had been written with shaky hands. She read it aloud to herself softly.

Dear Willa,

Well, this is an example of how stupid the overtakers can be. Those pirates bothered to take my cell-phone, but they forgot to search me for anything else, like this notepad and pen in my pocket. Anyway, Ariel overheard two of the pirates talking yesterday. The overtakers' plans are on a flash drive. Maleficent has planted it somewhere for the evil queen to find. In case this falls into the wrong hands, I don't want to say the location directly, so here's what I'm going to do. Starting here, at Pirates of the Caribbean, I'm going to plant a small piece of paper at every place that we are taken to. Each piece will have a clue to where the next piece is going to be on the back. Once you have ten pieces, put them together like a puzzle and you'll see a cryptogram. Once you solve that cryptogram, you'll know where to find the flash drive. Good luck. And hey, we're all gonna be okay.

-Dell

Willa was flabbergasted. Philby must have planted the note in her bag when she saw him in the cell at Pirates. The ending touched her. That was Philby, always adding those comforting words. He always knew just what you needed to hold on. In her head, she could hear his voice reading the letter. She could practically feel him hugging her and caressing her hair. Then, her eyes spotted something at the bottom of the page that brought on more tears. The words touched her heart.

P.S- I love you Bella

Bella; how sweet of him. He had taken her name, Isabella, and made a new nickname out of it. It was a beautiful, romantic nickname that Willa knew would become something special. He had called her Bella, the Italian word for beautiful. She kissed the paper, to symbolize kissing him. Then she whispered something to it. The whisper was barely audible, but no one else needed to hear it.

"I love you too Dell"

The room was large, dark and cold. Finn was asleep, his sister sleeping on his right shoulder, Amanda sleeping on his left. Maybeck and Charlene were asleep as well. Charlene had her head in Maybeck's lap. Philby lay sleeping alone, dreaming of happiness, dreaming of Willa. Everyone in the room was sleeping, and although this was a miserable place, where it was constantly freezing cold, where there was barely any light and where people were growing ill every day, the scene was almost peaceful. Princesses slept in the laps of their princes, friends the same. It was silent, and they were all dreaming sweet dreams of better times.

Although there were dry tears on everyone's cheeks and in everyone eyes, they were all happy in their sleep. Suddenly, a loud sound broke the silence, destroying the peaceful scene. All in the room awoke with a start. Two pirates were carrying in another prisoner. The captive was kicking and thrashing, there was dried blood on their cheek. They were crying and screaming

"Please. Where is my daughter? I just want to know that she's safe." Finn, Amanda, Maybeck, Charlene and Philby gathered in a circle. Wanda joined them as well, Wayne was being held in a different place, and none of them knew where that place was.

"It looks and sounds like a woman" said Charlene. "Maybe about, our parents' age."

"But, who is it?" said Philby. Finn glared at the woman trying to remember where he had seen her before.

"I know I've seen her before" he told the others, "I just can't remember where" Finn kept thinking, and suddenly, he remembered. He had seen her at his school, earlier in the school year. He felt grief, even though he barely knew the person, because he knew, in fact he was as close as family with someone who did know her, someone who more than knew her.

"Is it a Disney Actor, employee, Disney channel star?" said Amanda, making guesses.

"No" said Finn in reply. "It's Willa's mom." Willa's mom was shoved into the cell. She fell onto her knees and began to bang the floor. Amanda and Charlene introduced themselves and comforted her. Philby saw the two pirates who had brought her in talking. He moved right up to the bars.

"Where are we takin em next?" said one. The other replied with the next location. Philby took out the cryptogram sheet, and ripped off the fourth piece. He scribbled a clue on the back and put it in his pocket. He would drop it on the floor as they left.

Willa walked down a dark staircase, a flashlight in her hand. She had been down this route before, but she had been traveling with Finn and Charlene. It was scarier without her second family at her side. She was on her way to find Philby's first clue. She finally reached the dungeons where she had been filled with so much sadness only a few days before. It was dark and cold, just as it had been the last time. The air was filled with dust. Willa could barely breathe. With her flashlight, she walked to the first cell where she had seen Philby. There was as small note on the floor. Willa picked it up. It was a corner piece. She flipped it over and looked at the back side.

Clue to location number 2: Unlike this place, dead men do tell tales there

Willa didn't even need to think about the clue. She already knew where thekeepers had been next.

Looks like I'm going to the Haunted Mansion tonight. She thought.

Willa put the note into her pocketbook, and turned around to walk away. Suddenly, she stopped when she heard a hacking cough coming from one of the cells behind her. It was deep and raspy. Whoever the cough belonged to was not healthy. Willa turned around to see who it was and her jaw hit the floor. It couldn't be who she thought it was, but it was. She was looking right at him. There, in the cell, shackled to the wall, was Wayne. Willa ran towards the cell. She had to get him out of there. "Wayne!" she shouted. He didn't even glance at her.

"Wayne." she repeated. Still Wayne didn't seem to hear her. Willa walked right up to the cell. She waved her hand in front of Wayne's face, she jumped up and down, she shouted his name a few more times. Still, there was no reaction from Wayne. Why couldn't see or hear her?

Then, Willa realized that something wasn't right. There were no guards, and she meant absolutely no guards what so ever guarding Wayne's cell. Then, Willa noticed the feint blue outline of Wayne's skin. This was a holographic projection from the place Wayne was actually being held. Willa sighed. Once again, she felt defeated. Whenever she came close to rescuing her friends, it never happened.

Willa leaned against the wall and slid to the floor. She buried her face in her hands. This summer was not turning out to be a good one, and it was exhausting. She needed a plan. Wayne was sick and she needed to free him, but how would she do that if she didn't know where he was. She studied the hologram closer to see if she could find any hint towards location, but just as she got there, the hologram faded. Had someone shut it off? Never mind, she had to get back to rescuing the keepers. She turned around to walk away but soon stopped. Had she just heard footsteps?

A/N: Hey guys hope you liked it! That's it. Bye!

Keep calm and eliminate the Overtakers!
