A/N: I'm so sorry for the wait again. I'm just really busy. Anyway, I bet some of you are thinking that Leilah faints too much in this story. Well, luckily for you guys, she won't be fainting for quite some time. I want to give credit to Mykklaw for the idea for this chapter. Thank you so much! Won't keep you waiting. Enjoy!
I woke up breathing heavily. I was back in my room in Disney. It was weird though. The person calling me wasn't there; actually no one was in my room at all. Well, excluding Ava of course. I just slammed my head against my pillow. This was too confusing and stressful for me. I looked over to my right and saw a table near my bed. It had a basket full of apples on it and there was a notecard on the basket. Groggily, I grabbed the note and an apple. I read the note aloud, "This will all make sense soon. Signed, Y.S."
I shook my head, confusingly. "Who's Y.S.?" I don't remember a Disney character with that initial. I was about to bite into the apple, until I realized what I was doing. I put the apple back in the basket. I said, "Bananas are healthier anyway."
On the table was also a bucket filled with cleaner and a rag. At first I didn't understand what I was supposed to do with that, and then I remembered: Servant. They probably wanted me to clean the windows. I turned to Ava and whined, "They want me to clean the windows! Do you know how many windows are in this castle! No, I'm asking. Do you know how many windows there are?"
She just shrugged and gave me an apologetic look. I just groaned. I went over to my bags that I had my new clothes in, I put on a white halter dress and white dress shoes. I went over to another bag and grabbed a brush. As I was brushing my hair, the words that the hooded guy said echoed in my head. I suggest you give it back within the next 2 weeks…or else. You will all die. A cold shiver went down my spine. It would be my fault that they died. How do the heroes deal with seeing villains die, is beyond me. When I was done, I went over to the table and grabbed the rag and bucket. I barely got out of my room, I bumped into someone. I groaned, "Will this keep happening?"
I backed up and saw Hades. He asked apathetically, "Ready to go?"
"We can't go now! I have a job to do you know." If any of my friends were here, they could tell I was lying through my teeth. It seemed like he could tell as well. I asked, "You can tell I'm lying, can't you?"
He nodded. I exclaimed, "Great! C'mon let's go!"
I ran out my room, grabbed his arm, and ran down the hall. I shouted, "Bye Ava!"
She shouted, "Take care! Don't go talking to people you don't know!"
Town Square
We walked around Town Square looking for a possible place where the gem would be hidden. Wearing dress shoes seemed like a good idea-mostly because it matched the dress-but now they're killing me. I groaned, "This is taking too long! How long have we've been out here?"
He looked at me irritatingly. He answered, "For about 10 minutes."
Now I feel stupid. Unfortunately, it's not the first time. Out in the corner of my eye, I thought I saw the gem. At first I thought it was just my imagination, until I saw the person who had the gem. Maleficent. I tugged on Hades' toga (shirt? I don't know) and told him to turn around. He was also surprised to see Maleficent. We decided to follow her. She went to a street market. We peeked behind a corner. She went to a woman at a street vendor. I've never seen the woman before. She has black hair that's shaped like a snake's hood, fairly tan skin, slender; she wore a sleek violet dress, and she has a snake armband. Before I could ask Hades whispered, "Nasira."
I asked, "Who?"
"She's Jafar's fraternal twin sister. To make it short, she's flat out crazy." He concluded. I giggled, "It makes sense. She is Jafar's sister."
Maleficent gave the gem to Nasira. She accepted it and gave Maleficent some strange object. It was hard to make out from this distance. But, it had to be something very powerful, she seemed very happy to see it. She said her goodbyes to Nasira and left her. Nasira left the stand and started walking away with the gem. We both started following her. We followed her to an alley. As soon as we got there, she disappeared.
I pondered aloud, "I wonder what she wants with that gem."
"Obviously, she wants the power that's held in it. We're talking about Jafar's sister; it's not that big of a surprise." He said matter-of-factly. I rolled my eyes. I can't think about something, without feeling stupid. I thought. We decided to go back to the castle. Maybe I'll bump into Jafar sometime; I seem to be bumping into everyone literally.
Castle
When we got back in, we saw Maleficent standing right at the entrance. She asked quite irritated, "Where were you two? Especially you, slave?"
I knew she was talking to me but, I really didn't think anything of it. I tried to think of something clever, but I was drawing a blank. That's when Hades said, "She just dragged me off castle grounds, just so she can go shopping. Don't get your horns in a twist."
She glared at him for saying that. I just remained silent. Hesitantly, she nodded. With that, the three of us went our separate ways. I noted, "I need to get information on Nasira. But, first…windows."
I want to say if you haven't heard of Nasira, she's not an OC. She's on an Aladdin video game. I just wanted to clear that up. And what about that Y.S. person. Of course i know who that is, maybe you guys got it quickly too. Do you know? Please review!
