At the Cemetary, Clara was tied up, surrounded by Spotted Hyenas, the children of Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. Some of them were gifts from Evie's sixth birthday party.  They growled and sneered at her, slobber falling from their white fangs, ready to eat her flesh.

"Move, move, we can't lose our bait...not yet" Skylar made her way to the front of the Hyena's and made them leave.  "You should pray that Mal comes through for you" she grinned, Mal was not the kind of friend to come through for someone, she was more like the...use them then stab them in the back kinda friend.

"Let me guess...you two are friends too" Clara could look in her dark brown eyes and see Skylar was just like Mal, a girl who wanted to be just like her parent and prove herself.  "Mal and I are frienemies" Skylar explained.  "Both our parents are the baddest of the bad, along with your daddy, Chernabog.  And there can only be one bad girl, two have to go...and none of them will be me."

"Well, you should know Mal well enough that it's not gonna be her either" Clara told her.  "And I just got free, I'm not leaving...any, time, soon" Clara flashed a sugary smile at her.  "Oh, your tough, string, and sassy" Skylar said.  "I like that in a girl, I'm gonna be honest, I really hope I don't have to feed you to the Hyena's" Skylar checked her black-colored nails/claws as she talked.

"Hey you don't, we can put this whole thing behind us, I can go see my dad again, I haven't seen him in 6 years, you can't be that heartless" Clara stated, but Skylar just laughed in her face.  "My father killed his own brother and blamed his baby nephew, I can show you heartless" Skylar continued to laugh.

"Skylar, why are you doing this?" Clara asked, and that question, made Skylar stop laughing.  "You know" she started.  "My dad, killed his own family...just so he can be king of the Pride Lands, he fought and clawed his way to the top because he's spent his entire laugh being second fiddle to his brother and my uncle, Mufasa.  In the Pride Lands, brawn is more important than brains, Mufasa got the brawn, my old man got the brains.  He killed his brother, and he even tried to kill his nephew, but he's outshined.  By a witch, who cursed  a baby just because she wasn't  invited to her christening."

"So that's what this is about?" Clara asked.  "That Maleficent was chosen to be the leader of the Isle when it really should be my dad" Skylar chuckled.  "He should be the leader of the Isle, I should be the most feared girl, and after what Mal did...I am the most feared girl."

Clara was about to say something, but they became distracted, the Hyena's were chasing Zevon around, Anthony, Reza, and Ginny were laughing their mouths off.  "You chose him to be in your crew?" Clara raised her eyebrows.  "He's an expert potion maker, that'll come in handy" Skylar said.

"Listen" Clara started.  "I know you think your father should be the leader of the Isle, I felt the same about my dad, but what's important is that people fear and respect him, you don't have to do this, people fear Scar, they fear my dad, what else do you want?  There the leader of their own world, do you really wanna push it?"

Skylar stood there in silence for a few minutes, but she finally answered.

"Yeah, I do," she said.  "One, Clara...one way or another, I'm gonna be the most feared girl on this island, even if I do have to go as far...to kill you."

Skylar stared at the sun that stood outside the barrier and was surprisingly not blocked by the big cloud that hovered over the Isle.  "It's almost dawn...let's see what I can do" Skylar held up her necklace and yellow energy manifest in both her necklace and her eyes.

Clara sighed, there was no getting through to Skylar, she was already in too deep, like her father.  She prayed that Mal would come through for her, cause the first thing she wanted to do...was to see her dad again.

Meanwhile, at the hideout...

Mal, Evie andJay waited outside the hideout, waiting for Urson and Carlos.

"Here they come!" Evie said.  Urson and Carlos walked up to them, Urson had his teal bag decorated with shiny little crabs, starfishes, seashells, octopuses, feathers, nets, and little skulls.  "Did you guys make them?" Mal asked.  "All in here" Urson held up his bags.

"Okay, are we ready?" Mal asked, and the others nodded.  "Okay, let's do this" theVKs made their way to the Cemetery.
