Kingdom Keepers: Next Generation (Unfinished/Unedited) *Republished

Chapter 1- A Disappearance

Wayne's POV:

I sat in my chair in my small apartment above the firehouse on Main Street USA, looking in some old folders I had found from 2005. I haven't looked at these files in years. I laid out the pictures of five 14-year-old kids. Two girls and three boys. I couldn't believe they were now all grown up, married, and parents. I looked at the stunning young girl with blonde hair and ice-blue eyes, Charlene Turner. I turned towards the photo of an African-America boy who loved art, Terrence Maybeck. I smiled as I walked over to a small box of pictures I had received over the years. I selected a photo of a slightly older Charlene and Terry Maybeck, with a baby boy, Elijah. I sought out another picture, one more recent, of the family with all three of their children: Elijah, now 15, Evelyn, now 10, and Mila, now 6.

I walked back to my chair and found the files of Isabella "Willa" Angelo and Dell Philby, both 13 at the time. They had married almost immediately after Charlene and Terry. I pulled out another photograph given to me by Willa. It was of the children on their first day of school a few months ago. The four children: Alexander (15), Amelia (12), Abraham (10), and Aria (5) were standing in front of the family home. I finally looked at the last picture of a young boy.

Finn kept in contact with me the most. I took out the pictures of Finn and Amanda Lockhart's wedding, and then of their 5 kids. I had a family picture of them that Finn had just sent me a few weeks ago. It had all of their kids and Jessica's, Amanda's "sister", one child. Sofia and Lucas (twins) and Emma, all 15, had grown up together and were good friends. Emma was Jess's one daughter. Sofia and Lucas were Finn and Amanda's firstborns. The other children were Ella (11), Logan (9), and Carter (7). As I looked at these pictures, I thought about how they had all grown up in a matter of years. Since I first met them to now, they had exceeded everyone's expectations of ridding these parks of the evil force of Disney villains known as the Overtakers.

I heard a faint knock on my door, ripping me out of my memories. I started towards it leaving the pictures on my coffee table. I walked over to the door and opened it. Standing there, in her full-length black and purple robes, her green skin as radiant as ever, was Maleficent. She was flanked by the Evil Queen and Cruella de Vil.

"Miss me?" she sneered at me. The Evil Queen lifted her arms and everything went black...

Author's Note:

Hi, everyone! This is my first story on Wattpad. I have already written most of this story on Fanfiction.  Then, I found this awesome website, and I thought I could share it on here as well. There will be slight differences, like the fact that I upgraded the main characters' ages from 14 to 15, I thought it would be a maturity boost. Anyway, I love feedback and I hope you all enjoy this story as much as I do!
