Chapter 7

“Okay, that meeting was crazy!” Breanna said and then sighed. Kaylee nodded.

“When he threated Lexi, that was nuts! I was terrified!” she cried.

Yeah, tell me about it, thought Thaddeus. Bridgett turned to Lexi, looking curious.

 “Why did you do that?”

Lexi sighed.

“I don’t know. It was just bugging me what he was saying and then I did something impulsive and once I did it, I highly regretted it. It was really scary,”

Thaddeus nodded.

 “I mainly just want to know what that was.” Just then, everybody’s phones went off with a text from the group chat with the fangirls, Thaddeus and their Auradonion friends on it.

They took Yen Sid to the hospital and they said he was under a mind control spell. He says he’s very sorry for what he said and that he would like to talk to you all on Saturday. . . what do you guys think?

“Oh, that’s what that was wrong. But, mind control? Who was doing that?” Gabrielle wondered.

“Maybe he knows. If he does, I guess we’ll find out.” Lexi said and they made plans to be in the Auradon City Hospital that Saturday.

That weekend, they traveled to Auradon VIA portal and walked to the hospital where Yen Sid was and someone directed them to his room. Once they got there, he smiled up at all of them.

“Hello, dear young ones! First, I just wanted to apologize to you,” he said, gesturing to Lexi. Lexi chuckled.

“It’s okay, you weren’t in control of your actions,”

Thaddeus was once again amazed at Lexi for her ability to forgive so quickly.

“How are you feeling?” Thaddeus asked. “Also, you are my idol.” Yen Sid chuckled and looked surprised.

“You know about me? Mal and Ben said you were from a different dimension.” Breanna nodded.

“There’s a mov- a documentary about you. You were also in some books that we like.” she explained and Yen Sid nodded.

“How curious. Well, I’m feeling better. A mind control spell is hard to heal from.” He told them. Kaylee looked at him.

“Um, just a quick question. When you were under mind control, was there anyone in there that you felt like you trusted?”

Yen Sid looked like he was thinking about it.

“Well, all I can think of is Hadie, the son of Hades.” He explained as gently as he could. That sent the girls into a tizzy.

“What? You mean Mal’s little brother?” Bridgett said, sounding so sad, probably for Mal. Yen Sid looked depressed as well.

“I know. I don’t like it either! He was one of my most loyal pupils, but really. He was the only that I trusted while I was under the spell.”

“Oh, this is bad.” Gabrielle sighed sadly as Breanna pulled her into a hug.

“I really don’t look forward to telling Mal,” Lexi moaned as she ran her hand through her hair. After they spoke a little more about it, they all got ready to go and Thaddeus was just about to head out with the girls, when Yen Sid caught his hand to stop him. Thaddeus gasped.

“So, you are quite taken with that girl, aren’t you?” Yen Sid asked, nodding toward Lexi. Thaddeus’s cheeks flushed a deep school apple red.

“That’s silly.” He muttered. Yen Sid chuckled gruffly.

“No. I see the way you look at her. And the way that jumped right up to protect her at the meeting,” Yen Sid argued. Thaddeus could see that Yen Sid was trying to worm an answer out of him, so he obliged.

“Yes, I like her. And I have ever since I met her.” Thaddeus whispered.

“Yes, indeed. What was her name again?” Yen Sid said. Thaddeus smiled.

“Alexa. But everyone calls her Lexi.” He explained. Yen Sid nodded.

“So, do you plan to court her and then sweep her off her feet?” he wondered, smiling at the thought. Thaddeus frowned, being brought back to the memory.

“I wish.” He sighed. Yen Sid raised his eyebrows.

“You wish?”

Thaddeus nodded and the told him the story of how everything went down. Yen Sid gave Thaddeus a sad smile, a pained expression in his eyes.

“How long have you known her?”

“About six years.” Yen Sid gave Thaddeus a real grin this time.

“Who knows? She may change her mind about Adam,” he said hopefully. Thaddeus gave Yen Sid a depressed smile.

“Thanks, but I doubt it. Uh, goodbye, it was great finally meeting you.” He said as he ambled out of the door and Yen Sid called after him,

“Good luck, Thaddeus!”

After their visit with Yen Sid, the fangirls and Thaddeus headed over to Mal and Ben’s castle to talk to them about what Yen Sid told them. Lexi came up and knocked three times on the big wooden doors. “I really don’t look forward to telling them. They’re not gonna handle it well,” sighed Lexi as she brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Not long after, Lumiere answered the door and said Mal and Ben were in their office. They nodded, said thank you, and climbed the many stairs to that office.

“Hey! How was it with Yen Sid?” Ben asked. Bridgett winced. Mal came over and just looked at them.

“What happened?” she wondered. Lexi sighed and explained the whole thing. Mal jumped out of where had just been sitting. “What?! No, he would never do anything like that!”

Ben came over to her and enveloped her in his arms to mollify her.

“I’m so sorry. Really, we don’t want to believe it either,” Kaylee apologized. Mal nodded.

“I still don’t believe he would do anything like this.” Mal disagreed. Ben leaned down and kissed her forehead.

“Maybe we should just talk to him,” Ben suggested and everyone agreed. He always knew the right thing to say at a bad time.

The next Wednesday afternoon, they called a meeting with Hadie and when he showed up, everyone gave each other concerned looks. Mal stood up and glanced over to her little brother. “Look, Hadie, I’m not gonna beat around the bush. Did you put Yen Sid under a mind control spell?”

Hadie’s eyes widened.

“What?! No! I would never do that to him!” he exclaimed. Mal gritted her teeth.

“Yen Sid said when he was under the spell, you were the only he trusted. Are you sure you didn’t do anything?”

Hadie shook his head, looking insulted and hurt that they didn’t believe him.

“Yes!” he shouted. Mal sighed and nodded.

“Okay, I believe you. You can go now.” Hadie stormed out of the council room in a huff, leaving all of the people behind to think how badly that had gone.

The next day at school as the fangirls and Thaddeus walked out of P.E, talking about how they got clobbered in their dodge ball game, when Lexi saw Adam walking out of his history class. She waved. “Hey!” she said happily. Adam grinned.

“Hey Lex! How are you?” he asked her.

“Oh, well we just got destroyed in dodge ball,” Lexi explained. Adam chuckled.

“You’ll have that,”

Lexi beamed.

“Hey, do you want to hang out after school?” she asked. Adam winced.

“Oh, wish I could, but my parents are going on a date this evening and I have to watch my sister.” He sighed.

“Oh, okay. Maybe another time,” Lexi said wistfully. Adam gave her one last smile and then walked away. Later, as Lexi was getting her homework done at home, her phone went off. Thinking it might be Adam saying something cute, she picked it up eagerly. But found it was not that. Ben had texted the group chat.

Come quickly everyone! Mal and I’s castle is on fire and it’s destructing by the minute! Lexi got up from the couch, hastily told her mother where she was going, and teleported off to Auradon. As soon as she got there, she saw the grand castle burning and the Auradon firefighters trying to put it out. She also saw some of her other friends there.

“What happened?” Lexi cried as she ran over to Mal and Ben were standing, with Evie, Doug, Jay, Thaddeus, Breanna, and Gabrielle were also standing.

“We were on a double-date with Evie and Doug and we came home and this happened!” Ben said, sounding shocked and scared all at once. Just as the other fangirls arrived and they filled them in, they saw hooded figure walking out of the rubble. Mal and Ben stepped forward and removed the cloak and were shocked to see a familiar face. Yen Sid.
