 Ben drove slowly as the group of teens passed through the enchanted forest which looked as if a tornado had torn through it. Trees were on fire and some were completely toppled over blocking the road where they were driving. Ben pulled over and turned in his seat,

"well, I guess this where we stop. We will have to walk the rest its not far, just through the Sherwood forest and past Snow White's Castle." Ben said with baited breath, he didn't want to have to pass the castle that almost killed his girlfriend. Uma must have sensed his hesitation because she placed her hand on his and smiled reassuringly,

"We'll be fine, so will Mal and Evie."

"thanks Uma" Ben said with a small smile as the four teens stepped out of the limo. The group stood close together, stepping over fallen trees and dodging the occasional ember that would fall to the ground. As the four walked they were quiet, looking around at the destruction that Evil Queen had done their home was destroyed and it was up to them to fix everything. Jay stopped walking for a moment as they were just about to head towards Snow White's Castle,

"Hey, hold on you guys... somethings not right"

"What is it Jay? Carlos asked as he turned around to face the boy. Suddenly a low growl was heard from the bushes as well as footsteps, whatever it was it was coming right towards the group.

"Stand behind guys, this is gonna get rough." Jay said as three people walked out of the forest and onto the path in front of them.

"well well, look what we have here... The King and the three Villain children, how sweet." John Ratcliff said with a smirk as Shere Khan circled them.

"What are you doing here, figured you'd be halfway to the jungle or to the Indians by now" Jay glared, Villains didn't scare him and they knew it.

"Well, you see that blasted Pochohantas was not there so we decided to start our destruction here." Ratcliff raised his shotgun at the group, and took the safety off of it ready to fire when a shrill high pitched voice called out from behind them all.

"Now now, this is no way to treat children.. you must gain their confidence... make them like you..." she said as she grabbed Shere khans face and hugged it.

"and uh how do you do that?" Ratcliff asked

"You force them to like you.. you idiot!" causing Shere Khan and Ratcliff to back up slightly.

Uma crossed her arms as she went over to stand beside Jay, "what's the matter Medusa, no little girls around for you to exploit"

"well, if it isn't Uma...tell me dear, how is your mother going to feel when she finds out her only daughter has back stabbed her... perhaps it'll end up like that Evie child.."

"you keep her out of this!" Jay said as Uma looked at the ground and bit her lip, he looked at Uma and whispered, "now's your chance.. use the shell.." Uma nodded and began to hum a familiar tune, Medusa narrowed her eyes at the children and then at the two other villains "go ahead and finish them, I have bigger fish to fry." Medusa had turned around but saw that the villains looked as if in a trance, She watched as they walked slowly towards the children and she turned around herself her ears now picking up the sound of the transfixing music. Medusa's mind went fuzzy as well as she too began to walk towards the group of kids.

"Jay now!" Carlos yelled as Uma continued to hum, Jay quickly shoved the three villains into the back of the limo binding their hands together with zip ties and locking the door.

"How long will they stay like that?"

Uma stopped humming and smiled, "they will be like that until I decide to break the spell" she chuckled.
