Green Again Chapter Eight

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update in a while. But I had my reasons. First off my dad has been hogging the computer this whole month, and I was busy at Writing Camp. (yes, they have that!). I was assigned to write a whole series of short stories, it was about an invisible alien named JAH-AHN-AH who messes things up for humans. Yeah it was that stupid. Plus I was on vacation for a while. (I am currently crossing my fingers that there are no spelling errors) So anyways, thanks a lot for those who reviewed! It means so much!

Anyways lets mix it up a little. Lets see how Dr. F and Lord Hendrik are doing.

Lord Hendrik was violently stomping down the spiral staircase that lead to his secret fortress. Things were not going to plan, not going to plan at all.

First the prince escapes as a frog, he has been spending the precious money of the tax payers to fund the nation wide frog hunt. The last thing he needed was the princess missing as well, and she is not even a frog yet! Where in the world could she be hiding?

He knew perfectly well he was not the only one concerned. Princess Tiana's disappearance is an enormous royal scandal and has become completely out of hand. All though in his master plan, he knew the princess would have been missing at some point but she would have been in his possession. If she appears in the crowning ceremony his whole life would be ruined.

The large man threw open the door, and marched into his lair only to find his partner in crime swaying in a large hammock. He was sipping a sort of cocktail creation, completely at ease with himself.

Dr. Facilier turned his head casually and smiled. "Good evening Hendrik, would you care for a drink?" he asked, as his shadow flew over to Lord Hendrik with a cocktail of the same kind in his hand.

"Enough of your games Facilier," barked Lord Hendrik, as he slapped the drink away from him forcing the shadow to retreat back to its owner as the class shattered. "We are in unspeakable trouble if we do not find the Prince and the Princess soon, and why are you still in here?"

The Shadow man twirled his drink, "I am what they call a suspicious character, besides the Princess knew me all to well and she would have known something was off its hinges if she saw me."

This sent a shockwave through Lord Hendrick, "You have MEET Princess Tiana before? I thought you said you only knew Prince Naveen!"

"Of coarse Iv'e ran into her, heck I've ran into almost EVERYONE back in New Orleans one time or another. Besides she is the one who sent me to my death on the other side, you don't forget stuff like that!" he explained, finishing his drink.

"Well then it's a good thing you stayed out of sight. But now it is a dead end. We can not find either of them. The plan has been turned to shambles." Hendrik groaned, burying his face in his hand.

Facilier jumped off the hammock to face him, "I keep trying to tell you Hendrik, My friends are much better at finding people than your crummy henchmen."

Lord Hendrik hesitated, "I'm not sure."

Dr. Facilier loathed this type of client, Hendrik could not be kicked around of stepped upon like his recent failure Lawrence. He had to make Hendrik believe it was the other way around, as if Hendrik was the more powerful one. After all this was the only reason he was going through this. He craved power! But the Shadow Man craved something more than that.

Revenge.

But either way he knew he could manipulate this poor soul just as easily as he did with the others.

"Would it be better if I first consulted my friends to see where they are?" he persuaded with a grin.

Hendrik turned his head, " You could do that?"

He got him! "I don't lie, your majesty." he grinned as he made his way to the mask with the great horns, with Hendrik walking behind him.

The Shadow Man stood in the middle of the star hex he drew on the floor, and when he did all the candles at the end of each point suddenly lit.

"FRIENDS! AWAKEN!" he demanded, his arms spaced out.

Suddenly the masks rumbled on the walls and life was born within each one, including the horned mask.

"Hello my friends, it's nice to see you again. Now," he said clapping his hands together and pouted, "I'm gonna have to ask ya'll for a favor."

The masks exchanged skeptical looks.

"Im gonna need you to show us where some prince and princess's are. It's part of..." he leaned forward and whispered, "the deal we made earlier."

The masks nodded, and the horned mask opened his jaw wide to reveal swirls of green.

"Yes, Now we are cooking!" he exclaims motioning Hendrik to join him.

When he does, Facilier turns to the green and says, "Show me young Prince Zazri."

The swirls of the green quickly blur and gain color to reveal a scene where many woodland animals where gathered around a little teal frog as he appeared to be telling an elaborate story as his arms flailed in the air.

Facilier turned to Hendrik, "Theres your Prince."

Hendrik examined the vision. "It seems as if he has found shelter in the forest! Of coarse my hunters could not find him, no one was stationed there!"

They continued to watch the scene when Hendrik saw that the Prince was performing to someone in particular, a larger, light green, female frog.

"Who IS that he is talking too?" he asked. Dr Facilier looked to where he was pointing.

He had recognized the female frog, but from where? Where?

Suddenly it hit him.

"It couldn't be!" he asked. He affirmed his answer and suddenly...

He went into hysterics!

"Hahahahaha! No, this is too good! Looks like dear Miss Tiana is already ahead of the plan! Hahahahah." he laughed as he was holding his sides.

Hendrik suddenly realized what he was talking about, "THAT is the PRINCESS?"

The shadow man was still laughing, "In frog form!" he chuckled.

Hendrik was so confused, "But, there was no way she could have turned amphibious!"

Facilier pulled himself together and was puzzled by this, when he suddenly smiled, "unless!" he turned to the mask, "Show me Prince Naveen!"

The swirls of the scene rearranged to show a bored frog picking at his ukelelee on what seemed like the roof of a boat!

Seeing this sent Dr Facilier into another sea of hysterics,

"Hahahaha! I knew I felt someone go into my shop! That Froggy Prince turned him and his wife into frogs twice! HAHAHAH! He said holding his sides again.

Hendrik realized something, "He is on a boat. He could be coming to rescue the Princess! And possibly cure her!"

Suddenly the laughter was drained out of Facilier as well as the color. "NO...NO we can't have that." he said panicking.

Lord Hendrik watched as his partner paced back and forth. "Should I send my men to capture the frogs in the forest?"

The Shadow Man only sneered at him, "No no, we don't have enough time for those morons to climb up all that mountain terrain and back down. No, let MY friends handle this." he was now confidently striding towards the masks.

"Friends! It looks like it's time for another frog hunt." as he said this, out of the masks poured out several atrocious, bony-like, shadow monsters that varied of different sizes and features. They stood cast on the walls, awaiting Facilier's orders.

"This time its the girl, and the littler prince. Remember, we need the girl alive. Search all through the forests and everywhere else. And don't waste any precious time! ANDÉLÉ! TUTSUÍ!" and with that order the shadows made their way out the lair through cracks of the walls and the small window above.

"What about Prince Naveen and that Alligator? Why didn't you send those things after them?" asked Hendrik, still gazing at the green vision that now revealed that a large gator was sleeping on the deck of the boat.

Dr. Facilier was already at his desk, mixing various potions into a beaker, "Do not worry about those two. I have a feeling they will be... under the weather soon enough."

As soon as he said that, a little, black, and fluffy shape was formed inside the beaker.

And suddenly, a small lightning bolt shot out of it...
