Chapter Twelve:
Second trip to the Isle and the Secret Prison Tower
In the undergrounds of the Isle of the Lost, Hades had all the ogres, and other goblins working on one of his latest tunnels. For almost a year he has been trying to find a way off the Isle and believed that the barrier didn't reach the bottom. Only this time this tunnel wasn't for that. Many people of the Isle knew about the other barrier within the Isle. This was an actual prison that was held and made for only one prisoner and three other creatures that are known as Dementors. Every Isle villain shiver at the thought of them and fear them. They were worse than villains as they can't be reason with and will suck out your soul to feed on.
The goons have been digging for a few days and they finally hit something. One of the goblins went to get the boss while one ogre went to push up one of the floor pieces that they chiseled through. The ogre opened it up a little but saw nothing.
"Well...what's the hold up...anything?" Hades glared as he walked down the tunnel.
"Don't see anything, boss." The Ogre shrugged
Hades rolled his eyes; with a sigh in annoyance till he looked down at one of his minions' Panic. Without any warning he grabbed Panic but the neck and threw him up the open floor space. Of course Panick did what he did best, he screamed and panicked, but nothing had happened. He opened one eye and saw that the place was empty, so he came out of his fidel possession.
"Um, boss. No one is here." Panic whispered
Hades popped his head out from the open floor and looked around before getting up.
"B-B-Boss, wh-why are w-we here o-of all places?" Panic asked
"Don't question me, just wait here." Hades said as walked towards the stairs.
He was lucky that this place wasn't a maze and only had to worry about the stairs. Twice they had moved on their own. So far there were no Dementors around, the place would be completely cold if they were. When he reached the top of the building he found the main cell. After checking his surroundings he quietly walked towards the prison cell.
"I see that you've found a way in." a cold voiced
Sitting in the dark corner of the prison cell was a male figure that was wearing raggy prison clothes and old raggedy hooded cloak that covered his face. Hades scoffed before taking out a round glass bottle that was filled with blood from his coat and tossed to the prisoner. The figure caught the glass bottle with ease.
"Drink up, old friend. You're going to need your strength when I get you out." Hade said
He walked towards the door and took out his door picking tools.
"If they fine you, they'll hold you here too. Or worse." The man said
"Please, Vlad, I'm a God remember. I'd like to see them try and take my immortal soul." Hade scoffed as he started picking at the lock.
The shadowy part of Vlad's face let out a small smirk.
"You forget. With these barriers your pretty much mortal." Vlad said
"Do you want me to get you out of here or not? Cause I will leave." Hade drily said
Vlad was about to say something but he tensed when the air in the prison change.
"GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!" Vlad yelled
Hades turned his head to the side and saw parts of the walls started to freeze. He let out a curse before bolting out of the room. The underworld god ran as fast as he could down the stairs with two Dementors on his tail. He had to jump from staircase to staircase when one got close to him and threw some flash bombs in hope to distract them. When he got to the bottom he quickly ran towards to floor hole. Panic saw the Dementors on his master's tail and quickly jumped in the hole first. Hades skidded down towards the whole and brought the door down once he got in. He sighed in relief that these creatures couldn't see.
"Sorry, buddy." Hades whispered to himself
He was able to dig a tunnel under the prison now all he had to do is figure a way to get passed the Dementors.

Pandora had taken Vanessa to the Isle once again, this time it was just the two of them. The princess witch wanted a new look for the new school year so Pandora took her to the best stylist she knew on the Isle, Dizzy. They made it to Curl up & Dye and once inside they saw a ten year old girl with brown hair, tied into two messy buns and multi-color streaks in them. She was sweeping the floor while listening to music on headphones, not noticing them till turned around.
"Pandora! Your back!" Dizzy smiled as she ran up and hugged her.
"Hey, Diz. I brought you a new customer." Pandora said
Pandora step aside and Dizzy scream in glee once she saw that it was Vanessa.
"OH MY GOD! PRINCESS VANESSA IS HERE, IN MY SHOP!" Dizzy gleefully screamed
"Whoa, Dizzy. Dial it down a bit." Pandora winced
Vanessa couldn't help but laugh at this. She could tell that Dizzy was a sweet and kind girl.
"Pandora tells me that you're the best hair stylist here. Do you have any ideas for me?" She asked
"A princess want me to do her hair?" Dizzy said in awe before she fainted.
Pandora was able to catch her in time.
"This is gonna take a while." She muttered
After getting Dizzy up the young girl worked up her magic and started styling Vanessa's hair. She had dyed the princess's hair red with some braids and it was a bit wavy.
"Wow, Dizzy, I love it." Vanessa smiled as she looked at herself in the broken mirror.
"Really, you really do." Dizzy smiled
Vanessa nodded and handed her the money for her work. Dizzy gasped in awe.
"Really. Oh thank you. Thank you." She smiled brightly.
Vanessa looked at herself in the mirror again and decide on something.
"Hey, Dizzy, you wouldn't happen to have any other fashionable advice do you?" Vanessa asked
Dizzy squealed in glee again as she clapped and jumped up and down.
"I have some accessories ideas." Dizzy said
While the little girl went to get the stuff for the princess the door to the salon opened up and it was the VK's. They weren't that surprised to see that Pandora was there as she normally comes to the Isle every now and then. Though they were surprised when they saw the mystery girl from a few weeks ago next to her.
"You?" Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay said together
"Yo." Vanessa smirked with a hand wave.
The moment this happened the Niffler was able to get out of Vanessa's bag and started searching for new treasure.
Jay had walked towards Vanessa with a flirty smirk and Pandora glared at him. A few months ago the two had dated for a while till Pandora found out that he was two-timing her with Harriet Hook. Mal and Evie just rolled their eyes as they knew Jay found a new heart to break.
"Hello, foxy." He smirked and kissed her hand. "The names...Jay."
"Jay? As in the son of Jafar?" Vanessa raised a brow, and a dark tone.
"The one and only." Jay smirked
The next thing he knew she punched in the face. Mal, Evie and Carlos gaped a little before laughing.
"That was for Pandora, you two timing tramp." Vanessa glared
"I like her." Mal laughed
Vanessa was going to say more till a broken glass noise was heard. Everyone looked where it came from and spotted the Niffler dangling from ceiling beam while holding a collar with a sparkling coin in the middle.
"Nigel." Vanessa sighed
"That's Lucifer II collar." Dizzy said in amazement.
Just as she said that a big fat cat jumped on the beam. Nigel climbed up on the beam and just stare at the cat before placing the collar in his magical pouch. At the moment the fat cat went into pounce mode and that's when Nigel ran off.
"Nigel." Vanessa said as she chased after them.
"Lucifer no. Bad kitten." Dizzy said
She, Pandora and the other VK's helped chased after the two animals. The cat may be fat but surprisingly it was still fast as it tried to keep up with the Niffler. Though, it couldn't catch the creature as it had a knack of squeezing into little cracks and was able to pop into different places. Not to mention that he continued on stealing shiny things as he ran.
"Looks like you got yourself a rival, Jay." Mal said, she tried to grab the Niffler but it got away.
"It's better at stealing things than you." Carlos jokes
Jay scoffed and saw this as a challenge. He was able to keep up with the Niffler but it was giving him a good chase. When Carlos was able to grab ahold of the cat the others stopped to watch Jay. It was funny to them when the two climbed up on one of the shelves, which couldn't hold their weight and started to fall. The Niffler jumped onto the chandler, as did Jay. The Villain boy did his best to try and grab the creature but it dodge his hand and started climbing down his body.
"Hey, no fair you little…" Jay glared
Before he could the chandler made a movement and Jay looked up seeing that it was about to break. Luckily he was able to jump off before it could. Carlos and the cat were able to break his fall. While the two groaned from the pain the Niffler appeared and crawled over them as it stole from them.
"Nigel, 1. Jay, 0" Evie muttered
The four girls laugh at that. Vanessa shook her head with a smile before placing a glove on that had a gold coin attached to a string on it. She dangel it off the ground which caught the Nifflers attention and ran towards it. Once it grabbed onto it Vanessa scooped the creature up before turning him upside down and shake him. All the stuff that he stole came falling out of his pouch.
"Oh Nigel, you always know how to cause trouble." Vanessa smirked "But in a funny way, I suppose."
After a few more shakes two fake jewelry dropped out of his pouch.
"Hey, those are my bracelets and hair clips." Evie gasped
"Nifflers, they are known for being the best thieves in the world." Vanessa shrugged
"Come on, V. We have to get going." Pandora whispered
"Right." Vanessa nodded and placed the Niffler in her purse. Then handed more money to Dizzy. "For the damages. See ya later."
The two ran out of the Salon before everyone could stop them. They ran out of the town area and towards woods so Pandora could get them out. On the path Vanessa stopped when her inner vampire side sensed something. It was as if someone was calling for her. Unknowingly to her, her feet moved on their own and started walking into the dark woods. She only focused on the strange calling; for that she didn't see the warning signs to stay away. Pandora did when she noticed that her best friend was no longer behind her. The pixy princess hurried after her friend and tried calling after her but nothing snapped Vanessa out of her trance. When Vanessa came near the barrier a Dementor sensed her and headed towards her. Before she could step in the barrier someone pulled her away.
"Do you have a death wish?"
Vanessa snapped out of her trance and saw a girl with dark skin, with teal corn braids and was dressed up like a pirate.
"What?" Vanessa whispered as she didn't know what happened.
"Hey, Uma. What just happened here?" Pandora asked
"Your friends was about to kill herself." Uma scoffed "One more step and those things would have had your soul for Lunch."
The three girls looked at the land where the barrier had kept the Dementors inside. It was the size of a town that was nothing but dry land and was covered in snow. In the middle of the land was a large tower that has only one window but no doors. Before them hovering the ground and trying to get through the barrier were three Dementors.
"Why are these things here?" Vanessa asked
She knew what they were and what they could do. Vanessa couldn't believe that her father had agreed to place them on the Isle.
"No one knows. Let's just be grateful they can't get out." Uma said and pointed at the bone corpses that were on the land. "Those that were stupid enough to go in, they got them. Rumor has it that they place the evilest and most dangerous villain in there."
"Eviler than Maleficent and Ursela themself, I thought that." Pandora scoffed
"Who knows and I'm not gonna risk my life to find out." Uma said
"Uma there you are."
The three girls looked to the side to see Harry Hook and Gil: Son of Gaston. Once Hook saw Vanessa he was about to go on flirt mode till he saw Pandora.
"Pan." He glared
Pandora just stick her tongue at him. Just like their parents they had a bit of a rivalry and learned to hate each other.
"Do you want me to punch him too?" Vanessa asked
Before she could say anything a loud beastly roar was heard from the tower. The five teens jumped a little out of fright at the sound and decided to leave. While they ran Vanessa couldn't help but look back at the tower. She could have sworn that she saw someone staring back at her from the one window. A part of her wanted her to go back there and see who it was.
"Vanessa."
The princess snapped out of her trance once more when Pandora called her again.
"Come on, let's go. Your parents will be home soon." Pandora said
Vanessa nodded.
After giving one last glance at the tower she followed after her friend and left the Isle.

Vlad couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his daughter for the first time in so many years. He didn't know why she was on the Isle but he was kind of happy to see her. With his vampire eyes he could see how much she has grown. She looked just like her mother but had his grey green eyes and from what he could remember his black hair but it seemed that she had dyed it red. His only wish was to talk to her and hold her in his arms once more. He believed it was because of that his inner vampire had called to her and almost got her in danger.
"I'm sorry, Vanessa darling. I'm so sorry." He whispered
