Authors' note: Hope you all enjoy

Once Jack had left, Coral had calmed down and was laying in bed, her hand on her chest. Her cheeks red as she thought about Jack's kiss. Her eyes closed and she smiled, whispering his name before falling asleep.

Jack crept back into his room and closed the door quietly behind him. He sighed softly and headed to his bed until a low clearing of the throat caused him to stop and glance around the room. He flicked the lamp on and Facilier was staring at him his legs crossed and arms folded. Jack's eyes narrowed and he resisted the urge to blast him with ice.
"What do you want?" He asked, Facilier smirked.
"Where were you? Florian was saying you left with Anastasia..." He mused, Jack rolled his eyes.
"It has nothing to do with you." He replied curtly, Facilier stood up and stepped forward towering over Jack.
"You don't know what you're dealing with Jack. Stay away from Coral and you won't get hurt." He said, Jack sneered back at Facilier.
"Don't threaten me Facilier, you don't know what you're dealing with either. Goodnight." He headed to his bed and Facilier rolled his eyes and headed to his.
"Oh you have no idea..." He hissed quietly as he switched off the light engulfing them in darkness.

Anastasia lay in her bed and licked her bottom lip, she hoped she had done the right thing. She had never liked Gaston and if she could find a way to keep him away from Coral she would, even if it meant the boy from dreamworks. She sighed softly and rolled onto her side trying to fall asleep.

Adelaide groaned as she tossed and turned in her bed. She hated what had happened to Coral earlier, but there wasn't anything she could do. She knew Coral never liked Gaston, so she wasn't angry about that but what was she angry about? She didn't know the answer, Adelaide's mind was full of unanswered questions and she was getting sick of it. She just wanted to be home with her sisters and away from all this madness. This school was full of darkness and secrets and she and Coral were at the centre of it all. Adelaide had wondered if she should be telling Coral what was happening but she didn't need the pirate judging her and being in the firing line of Rothbart. She sighed and lay on her back. Her thoughts travelling to Rothbart, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, her last thought of him as she fell into a dreamless sleep.

He slipped quietly through the grounds and moved his way through the girls dormitories. It was easy, even though he posed a threat to the school, nothing had been done about it. No extra security, no magical seals. They were fools and he knew it.
"Come on old friends... make this a challenge." Rothbart mused, he stopped as he spotted the light of the moon illuminating the corridor. He chuckled and danced over to the window looking up at the moon. "You can't blame me, this was prophesized. It isn't my fault Mickey isn't prepared or taking this seriously." He walked along and stopped by a door, he rolled back his sleeves and wiggled his fingers before the door slowly opened. He smirked and twiddled his moustache before strolling in. He glanced around the room, four sleeping princesses but one shone bright, the moon highlighting her features. Shadows began to crawl around him, sliming their way towards the sleeping princess. He watched as the rose up, darkening the room. His grin growing his eyes widening as the princess shifted in her sleep. This was it, his plan was nearly complete! Tiana's eyes widened and she was about to scream when a shadow covered her mouth, Rothbart leant over her.
"Boo." He said a flash of light and then Tiana was asleep. Rothbart pulled the princess out of her bed and carried her out, he glanced at one of the shadows. "Go find Facilier." He ordered and the shadow slithered away.

The next day everyone was working on their finishing touches to the Halloween bash. Vanessa and Anastasia ordering both good and evil around as they were in charge of everything as all the teacher's had disappeared into a meeting. Coral was placing up decorations in her own thoughts when she spotted Jack on the other side of her putting up the other decorations. Her eyes widened and her cheeks reddened as she watched him work. She glanced away and Jack glanced over at her smiling slightly. She breathed and placed the last decoration up and looked over at Jack, their eyes widened and they both blushed smiling shyly at each other until they heard a loud yell from below them.
"Coral I need you to take these to the punch table! Stat!" Vanessa yelled up, Coral glanced down and back up at Jack, he watched her sigh sadly and dropped to the floor. He smiled as she was handed boxes two sizes too big for her and she headed away and Jack continued with his decorations, his thoughts of Coral.
