Watching Elena of Avalor!

Elena and the Secret of Avalor Part 1

The scene reopens to show Elena's parents, King Raul and Queen Lucia, being rushed back to the Avalor Royal Palace in their carriage by two royal guards as a dark green mist is in hot pursuit of them. The sky has taken on a dark appearance, full of storm clouds as they hurry down the footpath to the palace. As they get closer, Elena comes out, wearing the Amulet of Avalor, which is red instead of purple, to see them return.

"Is that mama and papa?" Isabel asked, looking up at Elena.

"That's definitely them. But what are they running from?"

Mateo, Gabe, and Naomi, overhearing the two, looked at each other uncomfortably. They all had a very good idea of what was chasing them and what was going to happen. But they both stayed quiet, not having the heart to tell them.

"Mama! Papa!" she yells as she waves at them with a smile on her face.

"Does she not see the creepy green mist?" James asked loudly and was given a slap on the arm by Amber in response.

Raul and Lucia barely have time to look up at Elena in both surprise and horror, before Elena gasps in horror as the mist takes the appearance of Shuriki. She laughs as she emerges above the carriage.

"This doesn't look good," Marisa muttered while attempting to hide herself under some blankets from the scary lady on the screen.

"Vadissima!"

She casts a spell on Elena's parents, the guards, and the horses pulling the carriage. The area is bathed in a green light of power. The carriage seems to vanish from existence as Shuriki's spell strikes it full-force.

Marisa, who was still holding the remote, quickly paused the video with wide eyes, horrified.

Elena was shaken beyond belief. Her parents are gone. In less than a minute they just disappeared, forever. She was snapped out of her daze when she heard some sniffing. Isabel was shaking, trying her best to hold back her sobs.

Elena quickly scooped Isabel in her arms as they cried together.

Her abuelos were holding each other close, while they weren't crying it was easy to tell that the scene had effected them too.

Esteban, having rare moment of affection, put his hand on Isabel's shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. He refused to look at the screen, out of guilt and shame. It was his fault that they were gone. He never meant for this to happen, but it did and there was no changing that.

Everyone was silent for a long time, letting the family grieve. Some bowed their heads in respect while others shifted uncomfortably while watching the grieving family. Eventually though they all calmed down.

"Okay Marisa, you can unpause the video now," Elena said, her voice shaking.

Marisa tried to give the best smile she could force on her face and nodded. She picked up the remote and unpaused the video.

Elena, horrified at seeing Shuriki cut down her parents, flees back into the Royal Palace. She rushes through the halls terrified, but Shuriki soon cuts her off by flying in through a window in her green mist form and prepares to take out the only witness to her murder of the Avalor sovereigns.

The younger attendees in the audience covered their eyes, not wanting to witness another murder.

The air was tense and that caused everyone to be very quiet.
"Vadissima!"

As the spell strikes Elena, the Amulet of Avalor glows brightly as it intervenes to save her life, before the scene whites-out.

"What the heck just happened?!" Carla exclaimed.
