Jaz POV
I raced towards the boys dorms. We had to find Charlie. I was well aware we were playing into their hands but I couldn't leave my best friend behind. She would do the same for me.
I slammed open the door "what does the note say?"
"if you found this note, we have won.
You will lose, Charlotte is gone.
More important than you knew.
Sometimes the many can't beat the few.
If you want back what you have lost.
You must pay a heavy cost.
Two days from now bring the wand.
And young Charlotte will be found.
If you fail to do as I ask.
Charlotte will only Exist in the past.
Meet me where Mal had her first Date.
And Charlotte will be spared her fate." Shadow stopped reading
"he's gonna kill Charlie!" I froze. My mind couldn't make sense of what he was saying. Kill... Charlotte? "what's this about Charlotte dying?" I turned around to see Carlos. "I have just found my little sister after six years and now you're telling me she's gonna die?" I paced the room thinking aloud.
"we know that it's not personal but why Charlie? If it was the runners they were after any one of us would do, but if it was all the villain kids they could have gone for you as well Carlos. In fact if it all of us they are after i'mm surprised the didn't. One from each group would guarantee that everyone would follow them. Urgh! It just doesn't make any sense!"
"yes it does Jaz" I turned around Hector had spoken "Charlotte is the one who would put up the most of a fight out of us and out of her and you Carlos, she would probably put up more of a fight than you. Especially when she has nothing left to lose!" "what do you mean?" I asked
"you have all seen Charlotte in a fight, she is fierce when protecting her friends and family and if we had already fallen there would be nothing to hold back her anger, her rage, her sorrow at losing those she cares about. Charlotte has always been a wild card. She never makes the same move twice. The one thing that can be predicted about her is she will fight for those she cares about. But if they are gone she wont hold back, her anger will know no bounds. She would tear this world apart for revenge on those who took the ones she loves. Charlotte De Vil is an enemy they can't afford to have. A Charlotte De Vil shattered by loss is an enemy they will never beat. If she is the first to fall they will win, but if she is the last they never will." That was a long speech, especially for Hector.
"do we have any advantage at all?" Carlos asked I smiled "yes. They might know that I often stop Charlie from losing her temper, but she never holds me back" "what? that made no sense what so ever"
"put it this way. If the Runners are represented by the elements Charlotte is fire and I am air. Charlie has her obvious temper that can spark at any time like a fire. Often I am either the breeze helping the fire or hindering it. Like I sometimes hold her back and other times I am with her in attacking someone. But if I lose my temper I am like a hurricane. Something no fire can stop. If I lose my temper Charlie is often out there with me if not there is nothing she can do to stop me"
"what's all this about then?" Ben asked. He had just arrived with Mal, Evie and Jay.
"well. Samantha and Morgan have taken Charlie and they want the wand. We don't want to give it to them but if they don't they are going to kill Charlie but we can't let that happen. We can't give them the wand though because then they will let all the villains off the island and Auradon will fall. But we don't want Charlie to die!" Shadow said
"what?" Mal asked "Morgan and Samantha have kidnaped Charlotte and they want the wand as ransom" I explained. "just leave it to us. we can get her back without using the wand" Hector said leaving the room. I looked at Shadow who shrugged and we both followed him out the room.
I followed Shadow to his and Hectors room. When we got in there he turned to face us "we need to trick them to get Charlie back" I smiled "wolf. Sniff. Track. Find. Free" the boys laughed they knew what I meant. Shadow would turn into a wolf and track down Charlotte's sent, Hector and I would follow him and free her, then we all ran for it. I raced back to Charlotte's dorm to grab an item of clothing as Shadow did his wolf thing. When i got back shadow sniff Charlotte's spare hoodie and Hector and I ran after him. I was not going to leave my best friend behind. We were going to find her!
