Wicked Dawn | 'Till The Night Falls Book 1 (Disney Descendants)

Prologue: Welcome to the Show

Nothing!

Carlos and Jay met up and thrust their fists in the air at this.

Mal:

Can stand in our way.

Oh oh,

We don't need permission.

We're gonna rise up.

And we'll be the change!

Evie:

Oh, oh...

Here us on your stereo...

Carlos swung his headphones over his head and cheers. Evie giggled slightly as they spun past each other.

Oh, oh, we're about to lose control.

Oh, oh, everybody knows...

Evie finished her spin and spotted the AKs hanging back. A wicked smile crossed her lips.

VKs:

This is where you let go!

Hands high like a roller coaster.

This love is taking over.

Evie doubled back, grabbing a hold of Doug, yanking him into the mix as well. Jay leaped back and pushed Lonnie forward while Carlos nervously held his hand out to a red-faced Jane who took it, smiling shyly. Mal broke away from Ben and he followed her, starstruck.

Take us higher,

Here we go!

Oh, oh, oh,

Welcome to the show!

Evie:

Gravity we're defying.

Mal:

'Cause we were made for flying.

Jay:

We're about to lose control.

Carlos:

Whoa-oh!

VKs:

Welcome to the show!

Mal:

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Everyone:

Put your hands u-u-up,

We're gonna have some fu-u-un,

We've only just begu-u-un,

And it's too late to r-r-run.

You can't run!

Evie grabbed Doug with a frown as the band geek turns and acts like he's about to run away, pointing him to his next position.

Mal and Ben:

So put them u-u-up

We're gonna have some fu-u-un

Evie:

Turn up the bass

Let it bu-u-ump

VKs:

We've only just begun

And you can't run!

Carlos and Jane led the train down the hall, skipping.

Jay and Lonnie ran after them.

Evie and Doug followed. Evie, laughing happily and Doug ducking down, looking slightly embarrassed.

Ben and Mal take each other's hands and laugh as they bring up the rear.

Everyone:

Hands up like a roller coaster.

This love is taking over.

Take us higher,

Here we go.

Oh, oh, oh...

Welcome to the show!

Gravity we're defying.

'Cause we were made for flying.

We're about to lose control.

Whoa-oh

Welcome to the show!

Everyone in courtyard:

Hands up like a roller coaster

This is love is taking over.

Take us higher,

Here we go.

Oh, oh, oh...

Jay flirted with all the girls as he passed until Lonnie frowned and pulled him away.

Jay:

Welcome to the show!

Aks and VKs:

Gravity we're defying.

'Cause we were made for flying.

We're about to lose control.

Whoa-oh

Dude came running across the lawn and leapt into Carlos' outstretched arms.

Carlos:

Welcome to the show!

VKs and AKs:

So put 'em u-u-up

We're gonna have some fu-u-un

Turn up the base let it bu-u-ump

We've only just begu-u-un...

Evie held up a summoned apple and handed it to Doug with a wicked smirk. The boy hesitantly took it.

Evie:

Welcome to the show!

Everyone:

So put 'em u-u-up

We're gonna have some f-u-un

Turn up the base let it b-u-u-mp

We've only just begun...

Mal's eyes began to glow green as she grinned wickedly.

Mal:

And you can't run.

Evie sighed in relief as everyone around her began to laugh. She watched as Ben pulled Mal in for a huge and Carlos did the same for Jane. Jay and Lonnie high-fived, both grinning. "Hey," Doug spoke up, coming over and putting an arm around her. She smiled down at him as he pocketed the apple and grinned back.

"Hey," she answered.

The moment was perfect. There was nothing that could disturb it. But there was something on the horizon, something that worried Evie, even though she didn't know what it was. And a faint voice in the wind that seemed to whisper in her ears.

Everything is about to change.
