A Descendants Curse

Chapter Nine

Mal, Jay, Scarlet, and Quade has finally got to the bayous! They were cross a green river full of alligators. Quade was looking around uncomfortably.
"This place gives me the creeps." Quade mumbles.
"Same." Mal said.
Scarlet was looking down in the water past the alligators, at the fish. She licked her fangs hungrily.
"Not me the food looks amazing!" Scarlet growled.
Jay and Mal looked at each other and chuckled. They sailed into thick fog and it became hard for them to see. Mals eyes turned green, giving her the ability to see in the dark.
"Hey! My magic's back!" Mal said.
"That's good." Jay said, squinting. ". . . Ugh, I can't see."
"Here let me." Mal said, pushing Jay to the side.
Mal took ahold of the boats helm and steered. She steered for a while until she hit something.
"Arah!" Scarlet yelled as she flew over board.
When she came back to the surface she spat out water. She growled as she looked up at Mal (the fog has gotten a little clearer). Mal smiles apologetically.
"Sorry!" She said.
Quade reaches out for Scarlet and she takes ahold of his hand and together they brought her back on the boat.
"Okay looks like we're here." Mal said as she put her hands on her hip.
Jay bent down and grabbed a long rope. He unraveled it and tied it to a part of the boat and tied the other end of the rope to the dock.
"Alright, lets go!" Jay said.
Mal, Jay, and Quade walked off the boat and when they were off Scarlet turned into a lion and shook off the water that was still on her. She then turned back to her human form and ran after the three VKS.

"Okay so you said that Laveena was on the Isle with Jafars staff?" Evie asked.
"Yes!"
"Okay so where would I go if I were Mal?" Evie mumbled to herself.
She began to think.
"She did say she had to go find Jay." Evie says after a while.
"So where would Jay be?" Carlos asked.
"I don't know, have you seen him?" Evie asked.
"Last time I seen Jay he was on the Isle!" Lonnie said.
Evie turned around and saw Lonnie running towards her.
"Lonnie!" Evie said.
The two hugged.
"Hi!" Lonnie said, waving at Carlos.
Carlos smiles and waves back.
"What are you doing out here?" Evie asked.
"I'm going to practice."
Carlos frowns confused.
"Practice?" He asked.
"I'm the coach at Auradon Elementary." Lonnie explains.
'Ohhhh' Carlos thought. Lonnie studies the two.
"You guys look like you guys are on a mission." Lonnie states. She crosses her arms. "What are you two up to?"
"Us . . . uh nothing I just really felt like getting dolled up today." Evie lies with a smile on her face.
"Uh Evie," Carlos mumbled.
Evie shushes Carlos while Lonnie looks at her in disbelief.
"Are you sure, cause Carlos looks like he is hiding a secret."
Lonnie gasped with excitement.
"Did someone steal something from the museum again?" Lonnie asked.
'She's good' Evie said in her head. Evie swallows hard.
"N-no why would you think that?"
Lonnies watch beeps. She looks at it and turns it off.
"Well I gotta go, I'll see you guys later." Lonnie said slowly.
"Okay great, bye!" Evie said kind of in a hurry.
"Bye. . ." Lonnie said slowly.
Evie waved Lonnie away as Lonnie walked away. Once Lonnie was long gone Evie let out a long (needed) breathe.
"That girl is good." Evie told Carlos.
"Yeah I know, that's why she came with Jay and I when Ben got captured by Uma." Carlos said. 
Evie was leaning on her knees panting.
"We're you holding your breath the whole time?" Carlos asked.
Evie stood up straight.
"Maybe." She replies.
"Okay, so the last place Jay was seen was on the Isle," Carlos said.
"And I'm pretty sure he's not there anymore." Evie adds.
"That's true."
"Well . . . since we're talking about Tianas daughter maybe we should go to her and talk to her." Evie suggests.
"Yeah . . . I don't know where she lives." Carlos states.
". . . Me either." Evie said.
"Let's go ask Ben." Carlos said as he starts to walk. "I mean we're not that far from his castle."
Evie couldn't agree more so that's where they journeyed to.

Tianas kingdom looked a little dark for it to be in Auradon, but you can't always judge a book by its cover. Mal and the other VKS were walking down a long passage way full of people. A lot of them were partying and loud jazz music was playing in certain buildings.
"This place is rad." Jay mumbled as he looks around.
A beaded necklace landed perfectly on Scarlets neck. She hisses.
"Rawr is this some type of collar?!" She asked pulling on the necklace, trying to taking it off.
Mal chuckled.
"No, it's called a necklace." Mal informed Scarlet.
Scarlet stopped pulling at the necklace and looks at Mal.
"What is that some type of descendant of a collar?" Scarlet asked.
"Wait are you saying that you've never wore a necklace on the Isle?" Jay asked.
"No I'm just acting stupid!" Scarlet replies quickly.
"A necklace is a piece of jewelry that you wear around your neck, I usually wear them to make my outfit cooler." Quade states.
"Oh that's what those things were you used to wear all the time when we were little!" Scarlet said.
Quade quickly looks down at his outfit. With what Scarlet said it made him feel like he wasn't wearing his black heart necklace. He sighed a sigh of relief because he was.
"Mal!" A female voice yelled.
Mal looked around and seen Celia in the middle of the dirt road. It looked like she was chasing a chicken. Mal smiles and waves at Celia. She was draped in beaded necklaces. Celia ran up to Mal.
"What are you guys doing here?" Celia asked.
"May I ask you the same thing!" Mal says in reply as she hugs Celia.
"Dad and I always come up to the bayou for vacation." Celia says. "This place is amazing! Necklace?"
Celia peeled off a purple necklace and put it on Mal.
"Wow this really matches my outfit." Mal said.
Celia took off a yellow necklace and put it on Jay.
"Awesome!" Jay said.
"Would you like one Quade?" Celia asks.
"No I don't do fake jewelry." Quade replies.
Celia looks at Scarlet.
"Hey Scarlet." Celia said a devious smile on her face.
Scarlet waves at Celia.
"Ooh, let me be your tour guide!" Celia says.
"Oh sorry Celia, we can't party, we have to find Princess Tiana." Mal says.
"It's Queen Tiana." Celia corrects.
"Oh . . . well Queen Tiana."
"Like I said let me be your tour guide." Celia said. "Follow me."
Celia begins to walk.
"So, what brings you here to meet the Queen?"  Celia asked.
"We're on a mission." Jay says.
Celia stops in her tracks. She turns around.
"Are you serious?" She asked. "What's going on now?"
Mal could sense the annoyance in Celias voice.
"We believe that Laveena has my fathers staff and we need to see if our assumption is correct." Jay said.
". . . Huh, she was acting a little weird last time a saw her, but it was night time she might've been sleep walking."
Celia begins to walk again.
"Wait you saw her?" Mal asked.
"Duh, why you think I said what I said?!"
"O-kay!" Mal says.
After a few turns and a long parade they were in front of Queen Tianas castle.
"Voilà." Celia said.
"Why thank you!" Mal said opening the black iron gates to the castle.
"Good luck on your adventure!" Celia said.
"Thank you!" Mal yelled back.
Jay turns around and sees that Celia is no where in sight. He chuckled. She's probably gone to that parade and started partying again.
