Cold Hearted

Breaking The Curse

Harry POV

I sped right into the front of Auradon Prep, skidding my motorbike around into a prompt halt as I took a good look around. I sped all the way 'ere but slowed down the closer I got to the school just so I could really make sure ta scan the area properly, for Elena could really be anywhere and I don't wanna miss her somehow. So once I was in front of the school, I stopped my motorbike and pulled my helmet off as I kicked the stand to the bike down. I got off and put my helmet on the seat before already taking a good pause ta really take in the scenery, looking for any signs of Elena anywhere.

But all I really saw were... sleeping people everywhere. My heart ached a bit at the thought of me locking eyes on Elena and finding her asleep... how would I even wake her up? Would we have ta defeat Audrey ta wake her up? If so... how on earth would we do that without Elena? Gods... this is gonna be a tricky one regardless. I began marching up to the grassy part of the courtyard, people laid slumped in their chairs over whatever they were doing before being spelled... it was rather eerie ta say the least. All ye could really hear was light snoring sounds... but everything else was still.

I then had an idea, when I called Elena a while ago it actually rang before going ta voicemail, so what if I called her phone and tried ta listen for the ring? I kept moving through the ghostly courtyard, eagerly scanning the surrounding area as I pulled out my phone and went straight to Elena's contact and called her. I then just listened ta my surroundings... but alas I couldn't hear anything, the call went ta voicemail again and I could only let out a sigh of disappointment..... unless...

I perked up again, having another idea ta possibly find out where Elena could be. Granted, I did think about just asking maybe Gale since it's easy for it ta travel around Auradon far faster than I, but I can't call Gale, only Ellie can. So that was just a loss... maybe I should get Elena ta teach me how ta at least whistle the tune so I could maybe at least get the spirits attention if I need 'em, because right now that would be beyond helpful. But I'm working alone, and my idea led me straight back to the voicemail Elena left me two hours ago. I quickly pulled it up and played it again, listening very carefully for anything she might've said that could lead me in the right direction,

"Hey Harry, I just wanted to touch base and let you all know what's going on over here at the moment. For all I know... I'm completely alone at the moment, everyone's either asleep or turned to stone as awful as that sounds. I think Audrey's still after me in particular, she nearly put me to sleep a while ago but I locked myself in a closet and was able to get away.... anyway, I'm just walking around the school at the moment, trying to find anyone who's still awake and all..."

I immediately stopped the voicemail... how did I miss that earlier?! She literally said she's in the school, and even if she hadn't have said that she said she had ta hide in a closet a while ago, so if there's any place where there's a greater chance of her being... it's inside Auradon Prep itself. Ah, finally... something that's made me feel even the slightest bit better about this whole thing! I still scanned the surrounding courtyard, but I was making a beeline towards Auradon Prep regardless. That was until I heard something behind me, causing me ta turn around rather quickly just ta make sure nothing stupid was about ta go down. I quickly swiped my hook off my belt loop and stared in the direction I heard the noise, but all I got were the sound of multiple engines revving as finally, the rest of the group decided ta join me.

Well, the rest of the group plus Uma that is, who looked very dissatisfied as she had ta hop onto Jay's motorbike and ride with him. I put my hook away again as everyone came ta stop and Uma immediately threw herself off the motorbike ta get away from Jay as Mal looked up and spotted me already on the front steps ta Auradon Prep,
