                                                         Hayden POV


"Like this?" I say

Mulan walks over to me, 

"You're legs are too close." She says moving my legs. 

"You're feet need to be grounded, And Your grip needs to be firm on the grasp." Mulan says 

Right now we're just using Sticks but Grandma and Mulan thought it would be a good idea for me to learn some sort of skill just in case.

"Like this?' I say 

She nodded 

She also has a stick because she said she didn't want to hurt me by accident these adults just think I'm made of glass. 

"Good," She smiles 

"Now remember what I said." She says 

"Grounded and footing is everything." I say 

She nodded while she smiles 

Our sticks colliding as we pivot lightly my foot crosses over the other and I was keeping my steps light. 

"You are a quick learner." She smiles 

"I aim to please." I say with a smile 

our sticks colliding again. 

Our practicing was getting better and better each time we practiced I mean all we can do is practice and sleep until mom gets back. 

"You've really come into your own Hayden." She smiles as she breaths heavily 

I am also breathing heavily from how hard we were training. 

"Thank you." I smile 

"I Think that's enough training for today." She say 

I nodded 

"Thank you Mulan." I smile at her 

She nods 

I go back to Grandma laying beneath the log she's sitting on I have barley slept since we arrived here. 

Just as I was about asleep. I hear yelling which caused me to jump out of my sleep. 

" No! No! No!" I hear Grandma yell 

I run towards the commotion to see Mulan cutting the stalk down. Well trying to.

" What, you're just going to leave her to die?" Aurora says 

Ten hours. She may already be dead." Mulan says 

"No, st... " Aurora yells 

Mulan strikes the beanstalk and a surge of magic is released upward

" NO!!" Grandma yells 

 Grandma charges towards Mulan

"Stop!" I yell

" No, stop!" Aurora yells 

Grandma tackles Mulan to the ground and they fight

"Stop! Stop!" Both me and Aurora yell

" This was your daughter's wish!" Mulan says 

" I don't care what you say! You do not put my daughter in danger!" Grandma says 

" Stop!" Mom yells 

 She jumps down from the beanstalk

"Mom!" I run to her and hug her 

"Hey." She says 

"Emma! You okay?" Grandma says out of breath she runs toward mom

" Two earthquakes and a jump from a beanstalk. I think my brain's still rattling around a little." Mom says 

"I did what she ordered, nothing more than that. Did you get it?" Mulan says 

" Yep." Mom says 

" Where's Hook?" I asked

" He's detained. Let's go. Get your stuff. We got ten hours before he follows us." Mom says 

"What?" I asked 

"What? How?" Grandma says 

"I got a friend looking after him till then." Mom says 

 She starts to follow Mulan when Grandma pulls her back

" You told her to cut it down?" Grandma says 

" Yes. I couldn't risk..." Mom says 

We go back together all of us. That is the only way." Grandma says sternly 

"Do you understand?" She says 

"Yeah." Mom says 

 They hug.

" Good. Now, let's go get that dust from Cora." Grandma says 

" Yeah, and go home." Mom says 

"Mm-hmm." Grandma says 

"How could you betray hook?" I say looking up at her

"He was our friend." I say 

"He was working with Cora." Mom says 

"No he wasn't don't you realize without him you never could've gone up there and get the compass!" I yelled 

I ran ahead to Mulan and Aurora I was so upset

But I couldn't get emotional because we still needed to get home.

We were in the woods Aurora was sleeping I was just sitting next to Mulan. I am still very upset with my mom.

"Snow! Snow!" I hear Aurora yell

"Hey. I'm here. It's okay, it's okay. It was just another nightmare." Grandma says 

"No, this time was different. There was a little boy. He...he put out the fire. He talked to me." Aurora says 

My eyes widen

" A little boy?" Grandma says 

" What'd he say?" Mom asked

" He said...he said his name was Henry." Aurora says 

I nearly fell over hearing that.
