Forgotten

Chapter 19- Plan

Uma and I were reading through Audrey's diary in her dorm room.

Evie opened the door. "She's nowhere on campus."

Uma smiled. "Found her diary. And dang, did you ruin Audrey's life."

"Okay, so did you find anything in there that we didn't already know, or..." Mal trailed off.

"She hangs out at Fairy Cottage. You know, where Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather hid her mom from your mom?" Uma explained.

"Yes. Ha, ha, ha. The irony is not lost on me," Mal said.

Uma sighed. "How could anyone with this bed ever be unhappy?"

We went back to the cottage. Said cottage looked bigger than Bargain Castle.

"I really hope they found Ben," Mal stated.

"Nice digs," Uma said, referring to the cottage.

"I got a really good deal," Evie said.

"Uh, who's the dude?" Uma asked as we walked into Evie's design studio.

"Doug," she said, walking over to him and crouching in front of him. "Doug, wake up. Wake up."

"He's spelled. Is she not a fast learner?" Uma asked Mal.

"She's emotionally involved, okay?" Mal said, defending Evie.

Uma sighed. "Well, in that case, she should be able to wake him up."

I smiled, knowing what she was thinking.

"Well, we haven't actually used the 'L' word yet," Evie said, looking up at Uma.

Uma rolled her eyes and looked at me. I nodded, feeling the same annoyance she was. "Can we be alone?" Evie asked.

I nodded and went to check on the kids. I saw Dizzy squirming again. I pressed my palm to her forehead, filling her mind with happy dreams. Becoming a famous accessory designer with Evie when she grows up. Finding her prince and making her happily-ever-after come true.

Boards started to hang onto the window, startling me.

"Celia!" Uma called.

"We're trapped!" she screamed, running up to me.

"Celia, go sit by Dizzy! I don't want you to get burnt!" I instructed her.

She nodded and I stood next to Uma. She handed me the ember and my hair immediately started to glow red with anger, only with fire. I felt powerful. Mal's eyes glowed green.

Mal held her hands out in front of her. "You've caused our friends pain and fear, we've had enough, now disappear!" Mal chanted. It didn't change anything. "Guys, I'm sorry my magic isn't working, Audrey's magic is getting stronger!"

Uma's necklace started to glow brightly, as well as the ember. The three of us held hands. "You've caused our friends pain and fear. We've had enough, now disappear!"

I gripped the ember tightly as I tried to find Audrey. She was still in Fairy Cottage, laughing maniacally. Then she screamed in frustration as the boards released. I grinned. We were powerful together, the three of us.

"You did it, together," Evie said, smiling. "This is what I was talking about."

Celia ran over to the window, then smirked. "Hey. It's your baes."

Mal gasped as she and I ran for the door. Harry grinned when he saw me and held out his arms. I ran toward them, happily accepting him. I saw Carlos with Jane, Fairy Godmother's daughter. Ben looked at Uma and me as Uma hugged Gil.

"I'd known you'd be part of the solution," he said to both of us.

Harry played with my hair as I turned to Mal and Uma, waiting for a plan.

"Okay, we think Audrey may be at Fairy Cottage, and we have no idea where it is. Did she ever take you there?" Mal asked Ben.

"Every Fairy Godmother's day." Ben sighed. He turned to Jane. "Where is Fairy Godmother when you need her?"

"I wish I knew," Jane said sadly.

I watched Carlos sit down with Jane as Ben and Mal continued to talk.

"Doug, go with Jane. Find Fairy Godmother," Ben said.

"They might need some muscle," Uma said, grabbing Ben's arm to get his attention.

"I'll go," Gil volunteered, looking at his muscles.

"Yeah, actually, I'd feel better," Carlos said, holding Jane close.

"I'd feel better too," Evie agreed.

"Actually, I would too," Doug admitted.

Gil hit him on the arm lightly with a smile and walked off with the two.
