A bright pink orb appeared behind Priscilla causing her to turn around to see what it was and the princess immediately felt an irresistible urge to follow. The orb floated gracefully through the air, weaving through the school grounds. Priscilla, in a trance, trailed behind, her steps synchronized with the orb's gentle movements
Through moonlit paths, the princess ventured, guided solely by the captivating pink glow. Soft whispering winds carried the distant melody of a lullaby as it blew on Priscilla's hair softly
The journey brought them to the Museum of Cultural History which held many artifacts from the tales of villains and heroes. As they approached, the orb's radiance intensified, illuminating the entrance as it reached towards the spinning wheel that stood in the middle of the museum. Priscilla, still entranced, crossed the threshold, the ornate doors creaking open as if welcoming her
Jane, Doug, and Gil heard the museum doors open behind them. They turned around missing the pink orb and only saw Priscilla at the entry. "Priscilla!" Jane called after the hypnotized princess. Jane's voice was laced with confusion when she called for her friend. Doug was next to call out for her as well but he was also ignored by Priscilla just like Jane
The pink orb reached the spinning wheel and made its place on top of the pointed part of the spinning wheel, still glowing neon pink. The same spindle that had cast Aurora into an ageless slumber
Priscilla stood before the exhibit, the orb pulsating with an eerie energy. Transfixed, she went over the red rope that stopped people from reaching for the spinning wheel and stepped up the platform it was on, and reached out to touch the spinning wheel, unknowingly succumbing to the haunting echoes of her family's curse. Soon enough, Priscilla's vision turned black
And so, in the quiet embrace of the museum, the legacy of Sleeping Beauty unfolded once more as Priscilla succumbed to the hypnotic allure of the pink orb, sealing her destiny with the touch of the fateful spindle
Betrayal 2
The three looked at each other. Jane looked at Doug and said his name, getting his attention. "Check on her, please. Gil and I will stay with Mom" She said while nodding. Doug nodded his head and walked his way to the entrance of the museum
Once Doug peeked in through the open doors. His eyes immediately spotted Priscilla on the floor. Her head rested on her right arm and her brown hair covered her face. She got to a deep slumber
"Priscilla! Guys!" Doug yelled to the others. He rushed towards the sleeping girl on the floor. He got on his knees next to Procilla. Doug desperately shakes Priscilla although knowing it wouldn't work out but he wasn't thinking at the moment as he was worrying for his friend. Hearing his yell Gil appeared at the entrance, he was about to ask what was wrong but he gasped when he also saw Priscilla on the floor
Gil rushed next to Doug going on his knees as well. "What happened?" He asked, concerned for Priscilla. Doug shrugged his shoulders, he reached towards Priscilla and gently swept her hair away from her face. "I don't know" He answered Gil. Gil looks over Priscilla's body to see if he can find anything wrong, and he finally notices her finger, a prickle of blood falling out of her finger. He looks in between the Spinning Wheel and her finger
"Oh, man" Muttered Gil, immediately realizing what happened to the girl. Doug looks over at Gil, his eyebrows raised, "What?" He asked. Gil looked at Doug and nodded his head toward Priscilla's hand, Doug looked in that direction and saw the blood on the tip of her finger
Gil was still looking at Doug, and Doug looked back at him. "Audrey?" Gil asked Doug, he looked back down at the girl who was cursed with deep sleep. Doug looks down at his friend as well "Who else?" He answered Gil, "But why is the question here? Why would she hurt her own sister?" Gil just hums an 'I don't know' to Doug's question
Soon enough Jane popped up at the double doors "Hey guys what's taking so l-" Jane began to ask as she walked to the doors but soon cut herself off and stopped in her tracks once she saw Priscilla on the floor. Jame gasps at the sight and covers her mouth with her hands. She jogged her way to the guys "What happened?" She asked the two, now kneeling beside Gil, worry was all over her face trying to calm herself down and not freak out
"Audrey" Doug answered, his eyes on Priscilla as his head turned in Jane's direction. His eyes finally landed on the other birthday girl. Jane turns to him as well.
"I don't know how but she got Cilla to touch the spinning wheel" The three of them looked up at the Spinning wheel as Doug talked
"Oh.." Jane said softly, her voice quiet. She looked away from the wheel to the floor below her then back at Priscilla "One of you guys pick her up," Gil didn't hesitate to do so and began to pick Priscilla in bridal style "Let's hope Mal gets Audrey on time. Mom will probably know what to do" The three began to walk out from the Museum of Cultural History with Priscilla in Gil's arms
Right as they stepped outside they saw Fairy Godmother come back to herself "Mom!" Jane called out to her and ran to her mother, hugging her tight. They separated from each other
"Bippity-boppity, what happened?" Fairy godmother asked her daughter, the two held each other's arms.
"The spell has been broken. It's okay" Jane explained, smiling slightly but then remembered about Priscilla, and that caused her smile to drop "But mon..." Fairy Godmother stared at her waiting for Jane to continue but she didn't know how to explain to her mother so she released herself from Fairy Godmother grasped and moved out of the way to reveal Priscilla in Gil's arms, asleep
"Priscilla pricked her finger on the spindle" Doug explained for Jane as he saw the confused look on the older woman's face. The confusion turned to horror when Fairy godmother heard Doug's words, she instantly felt her heart sink
"Can you do anything to help?" Jane asked desperately, wanting her childhood friend to wake up as soon as possible but to her disappointment her mom shook her head no, answering to Jane's question
"Do you guys remember the story of Sleeping Beauty? There's truly only one way" Fairy Godmother told the three of them as she held up her index finger
"True love kiss" Jane gasps as she remembers the famous tale. She turns to the two boys. "We need to find Carlos and fast" The three of them nodded at each other "Doug, Mom, help Gil take Priscilla to her dorm and I'll find the others" They all agreed to the plan and separated to their ways on the newfound mission

It was still night as everyone but Doug, Gil, Jane, and Priscilla were in Audrey's room as the girl was on the bed. Mal and Evie were on each side of Audrey's bed. "She's slipping away," Evie said out loud, looking at the resting Audrey. Mal looked at Evie and then at Audrey before dropping her head on the bed. Everyone else was seated away from the bed except for Ben, Jay, and Uma. Uma stood still as Ben paced back and forth and Jay was near the fireplace
Mal raises her head back up. She gave Audrey another glance and then to Evie "There's only one person in the world who might be able to do something about this, and that's Hades" Mal explained
"Hades?" Ben immediately questions her, Mal looks over at him. "He wouldn't do it. And I wouldn't risk it"
He added, shrugging his shoulders
"Actually, he might do it for me," Mal told him, Evie looked at her. "He's my father," Mal explained. Ben looked at her in shock with his mouth open, he blinked a few times looking away. Carlos looks over at Jay as the room stays silent after Mal's confession
Ben whispered an 'Okay' and fixed his clothing before crossing his arms. "Well, I'll have to send guards to get him," Ben said as Carlos got up from his seat. He and Jay walked closer to Ben
"Maybe I can hitch a ride" Uma Spoke up causing Ben and Mal to look at her. Uma looks at Evie "The Isle is my home. Someone needs to be there to protect it" She explains, Harry walks up behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders. "Well, then, you'll need your first mate," He said as Uma looked at him and let out a chuckle while shaking her head with a smile
"The Isle will be in very good hands," Mal told her with a smile. Both of the pirates smiled at her. Diana stayed quiet as she bit her nails wondering if she should speak up or not, she chose the letter and decided not to. Celia put the pillow she was holding back in its place and stood up "Can I go, too?" She asked, causing everyone in the room to look at her "I wish I could be in both places" She said looking at Mal who looked back at her. Celia looks down at the floor
Mal began to get up from her seat facing Uma. "I really think that Evie was right and... I do think that we could've been friends," Mal smiled at Uma. Uma held her smile as she nodded and looked down "And I'm really sorry that I lied to all of you guys" Mal apologized, looking at everyone "You deserve so much better than that"
"You're just trying to do the right thing," Jay told her, slightly brushing her off. Uma nodded in agreement,
"Yeah," she said. Evie began to get up as well "I get it," She told Mal, Mal gave her a small smile
Suddenly the opened wide without knocking causing everyone to look towards to see a panting Jane. Jane let out a squeak when she noticed she might have ruined a moment. Her eyes landed on Audrey, her eyes widening at the sight. Her eyes slowly moved around the room before catching Carlos "Jane? Are you okay?" Ben was quick to ask the girl, worried. Jane shook her head
"I need Carlos," She said, pointing at the boy. Carlos furrowed his eyebrows at her answer. "What happened?" He asked the frantic girl. Jane points behind her with her thumb "It's Priscilla" She answered, immediately making Carlos tense up and worried for his girl. Jane paused for a second, "She, um, She pricked her finger on the spinning wheel" She added
"What?!" Almost everyone yelled out making Jane jump at the sudden loudness. Everyone's eyes were wide and she nodded her head "Yeah. Come on!" She didn't wait any other second and got out of Audrey's room and made her way to Priscilla's. Everyone follows the girl to the other troubled sister. Carlos didn't need to be told twice and was already out of Audrey's room, ahead of everyone else
