Cat Got Your Tongue?

1.2- Wands and Potions

"Woah," I smirked and opened the door for them. They were all shocked. Even Jay, who ended up on the floor.

Darren jumped for joy, he picked me up, and spun me around.

"Darreeeen!" I whined. He put me down, I almost fell over. "Great! Now I'm dizzy," I crossed my arms. My vision was a little lopsided but I managed to walk to the door the others were standing in.

"This way!" Evie ran off. "Up here! Come on guys! Let's go! We're almost there!" We followed upstairs, downstairs, through hallways until, eventually, we ended up at the Gallery of Villains.

I saw statues of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar and Cruella De Vil in battle positions.

"Mommy?" Evie stared at the Evil Queen.

"Killer," Jay blinked several times, not believing the statues in front of him.

"I will never forget Mother's Day again," Carlos shook his head with sad eyes staring up at Cruella.

"Well, the wand's not here, let's go," Jay turned and walked away with Darren, Evie, and Carlos in tow.

I squeezed Mal's shoulder before leaving. I ran to catch up but it didn't last long, I slowed to a walk. They were looking down into a hole in the floor. I did the same. "Woah," I said breathily. The Fairy Godmother's wand, also known as, the thing that will set my mother free was there.

"I'll go get Mal," Evie turned and strut back the way we came. I was mesmerized by the wand.

Evie came back with a sad looking Mal. "Woo!" Jay slapped the railing and ran down the stairs.

We all followed excitedly. "Thanks Dar!" I thanked because he held the door open for us all.

Jay was at one side of the wand stand and we were at the other. Mal gasped, "Jay! Don't do it!"

He just smirked and went under the railing, he reached out to touch it, and when he did, he got thrown back over the railing.

"Force field and a siren?" Carlos whined, his hands were over his ears.

"That's just a little excessive," replied the boy laying on the ground.

I heard footsteps, "guys, we need to go. Now." Darren took one look and nodded. We all ran for the exit, running up a flight of stairs, down three different hallways and back into the security room.

The phone started ringing. Carlos stayed and picked it up, I waited patiently for him.

"Hello? Uh, huh, give me one second," he glanced at a piece of paper, and then pressed a few buttons on a keypad. The sirens stopped wailing and hurting my ears. "Uh yeah, yeah. No, false alarm. It was a malfunction in the..." he looked at another piece, "L174 breadboard circuit." He stopped for a moment, "yeah, okay. Say hi to the Mrs for me!" Then he hung up.

"Carlos! Sasha!" They yelled at us.

"You're welcome!" Carlos shouted back.

While we jogged to keep up, I turned to him, "nice. I didn't know you knew that kind of stuff."

"Yeah, me neither. It kinda just came to me. What about you and your thing earlier?" He questioned with a smile.

"My mother is the Cheshire Cat, as you know, so I inherited her thing for teleporting and I'm guessing invisibility but I haven't tied yet. It'll come to me when I need it," I shrugged. I grinned at him, we finally reached the others who were smiling smugly, well, all except Mal.

Once we caught up, we all ran. "Way to go, Jay. Now we have to go to school tomorrow!" Mal growled at him.
