Carlos POV
" Chad's missing." Jay says as he bursts into the room. Jane's face goes flush. She is as pale as one of the happy haunts in the Auradon city haunted mansion.
" Jane it's going to be ok." I say in an attempt to comfort her. I don't want her to know how terrified I am. She instantly breaks out into tears.
" no it won't. I figured out the spell chad used on me , if I'm not cured in a month I'll be his evil slave forever, but for now I must sleep, sleep, sleep." Jane halfway chanted , halfway cried before collapsing on the cot. In my heart I know she's right , it's not ok and it won't be until she gets cured and Chad gets captured. Mal, Ben , Evie and I instantly shot up from our seats. A cold chill descended my spine as I laid my hands on Jane's lifeless body. A single tear slid down my cheek and onto the plush blanket held by jane. She can't be dead, it's not possible, it's just not.
" I'll go get Fairy godmother." Jay muttered as he darted out of the room. Everyone can tell he feels bad for what happened and for not being able to fight the spell chad cast on him, we keep telling him that it's not his fault but if I know jay he'll keep blaming himself until Jane is better. I kept my eyes glued on Jane while the others circled around us. Jane began to stir. My lungs release a massive breath and I feel a new burn in soul to fight for a cure, to fight for Jane. I took a piece of her hair between my fingers and jumped back, startled.
" ahhh, why's it red!? It's not supposed to be red!" I shriek as I land on my friends. Jane sits up and groans . This situation couldn't be anymore awkward I thought as I get off of Ben's lap and sit next to Jane.
" what did you say Carlos." She asks, cupping her hand around her ear. I repeat what I had just said. She just kept a confused look on her face.
" what? I didn't hear you." Jane replied. I felt like I was about to puke. Mal steps closer to Jane.
" hmm... mother had some spells like this. What I predict will happen is that over the next month her senses and sense of humanity will slowly deteriorate, breaking down her will to live and any desires she may have. Her soul will become so desperate and fearful that Chad can overtake her and implant into her , his wills and desires, effectively making her his slave. It's extremely difficult to reverse these spells once they enter the later stages. " Mal explains. I shudder at the thought of chad enslaving jane. Before I can delve deeper in my thoughts jay and fairy godmother enter the room. Jay just stands back against the wall barely choking back Godmother's face drops and a few tears slide down her cheeks. She captures Jane in a hug.
" I feared that was the spell he used, I've only ever seen it used one other time . I was confident he used this spell but I was just hoping I was wrong." She muttered into a blank faced, unresponsive Jane. She faced us and began to speak.
" only we can save her. It's up to us to find the cure." Fairy Godmother informed us.
" I'll remove any assignments the magic and spell committee may have and task them with joining in the search for a cure." Ben informed us as he pulled Mal closer to him. A few tears slide down my face as I stand up and back away from the situation hoping that no one would see me break. Everyone but Jane stands up , Fairy Godmother informs us that she is going to speak with the magic and spell committee about researching the spells that Jane could possibly be under . Mal, Evie,Ben , and I decide to go to the museum so Evie can use her mirror to locate chad and Mal can look in her spell book for a possible reversal spell. Jay offered to look after Jane as we walked out the door. Ben summons a limo to take us the the museum . I tune out everything between school and the museum , the only thing I can recollect is that the museum is closed until the wand is tracked down but that because of Ben and Mal we got special entry. Before I knew it, Evie held her magic mirror and Mal and Ben were flicking through her spell book . I wander past Mickey's sorcerer hat and admire the delicate stance of Cinderella's glass slipper as I walk towards the display where the wand should be , nearing the hall of villains. I shudder a bit as I remember how life-like the statue of Mom looked. The magical forcefield that typically surrounds the wand is gone and all that is there is a scrap of paper on the railing of the balcony surrounding the exhibit. I look over my shoulder with a sense weariness as I approach the note. Carefully picking up the document, I unfold it to reveal a note.
" Dear Fools,
That pipsqueak made a mistake messing with me. And now she'll pay. No one will ever find me , my fortress is impenetrable. Charmington here I come! Everyone will have to do as I say now that I have the wand, starting with that Isle thief.
Smell ya later
Chad"
As soon as I read that note my blood started to boil. A new desire to get back at chad runs over me and I dash back to my friends to show them my discovery. The exhibits pass by me in the blink of an eye as I dart back to my friends. I cover up Mal's spell book with the note. She quickly scans it and gives Ben a worried look.
It took every ounce of Mal's love to prevent Ben from going all Beast mode.
" since the wand was used to spell Jane it's the only thing that can remove the spell! We need to get to Charmington and fast!" Ben exclaims before we dart out of the museum and to a limo, making our way to the dorms. We run inside and collect Lonnie who agreed to watch Jane while Ben, Mal , jay and I went to chase chad. When we enter the girls room to pick up jay I notice Jane isn't looking so good, her hair and eyes have gotten darker and redder and her skin is fading. I rush over to her and hug her, knowing all too well this may be the last time I'll see her before the spell takes its toll. We leave Jane with Lonnie and shove whatever we can in our backpacks. Ben hands jay the limo key and we board it quickly. It's time to go to Charmington. It's time to get Jane back!
