the children of the shadows

by wildflower woods

Hi I'm Charlotte, until recently I lived a life on the run with my gang Jaz, Hector & Shadow, until one day we got caught & our lives turned upside down Again! this what happened, the story of how we got to Auradon, the things that happened to us & of course, the story of the biggest adventure of our lives, so far. (this includes some of the characters from the movie & several ocs)

11. The Plan Begins

Jaz POV

I raced after Shadow towards the edge of Auradon. When we finally stopped we were at the coast. I looked around there was a set of steps cut into the cliff. I headed towards them and a black figure crashed into me and we both crashed to the ground. I groaned as the person on top of me scrambled upright. Her hood falling down as she did "Charlotte?" I asked "oh hi Jaz" "what are you doing?" "running. What does it look like I'm doing?" She handed me a stick. "1 you are going to need this and 2 run" "why?" "they're following me" "who?" "guess. Look Jaz. I know you want to help but the only way you can do that is by leaving me to handle this. So please just go" Charlotte using manners? she was in trouble. "alright. You win" I turned to go, the boys following me "you not coming?" "more fun if I stay" I Knew what she meant. 'I'll buy you some time' "thanks Charlie" I froze. Morgan was coming up the steps. "Go!" I turned and ran the boys close behind. "I hope you know what you're doing Charlie. I really hope you do"

Charlotte POV

I watched my friends leave. I could have used their help but it would have just made matters worse. A whole lot worse. I turned and faced Morgan. I was doomed, all I could do was buy my friends some time. I smiled, Time. The one thing I had on my side.

I looked at Morgan, I smiled, I waved and then I ran, along the cliff side. I just hope the others got away.

Jaz POV

We got back to the castle, The first four were waiting with Ben and Doug. "Any luck?" Carlos asked "Yes, and no" "well, we found her." "but she was being Charlie again" "and she told us to run" "and you listened to her?" "If it wasn't for Charlotte, we would all be dead!" I shouted. Everyone else in the room froze. "Charlie saved my life five and a half years ago when I almost died of starvation, she could have just walked off and left me but she didn't. She could have walked away when we first met Shadow and Hector but she didn't. She could have left us many times when we were almost caught in raids but she didn't. She could have left us when our parents first found us and she was still free but she didn't. Every step of the way she has had our backs, every single time she chose to help us over making certain that she would survive. She could have run the night they found us before we came here but she didn't. She has been there every step of the way and now that she needs us most, you are doubting her judgement. I trust her with my life and I know Shadow and Hector do too. She has been there. EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. OF. THE. WAY. And now it is time we return the favor. If you don't want to help FINE! We'll do it ourselves. But I am NOT leaving her behind! Not now, not ever!" I turned and left the room. "It's time boys. Time to fight"

Samantha POV

I arrived back at the hideout. Morgan was stood at the entrance smiling. "the plan worked, they took the bait now they will fall" I looked at the remote in my hands "the villains will rise again"
