Hiya Descendants!
Sorry this is getting out late. Yesterday was my husband and my anniversary, so we were... cough... a little busy. ;)
Time sure does fly when you marry your best friend!
Anyway, here it is, the chapter I'm sure you've all been waiting for.
What will the Core Four do when they're found?
Are you ready for it?
Lots of Love!

================================================================================
She looks around in confusion when she hears a faint sound in the darkness.
Shit.
Her eyes narrow as she looks around suspiciously, muscles coiled to spring into action at the first sign of threat.
She glances down at the others.
She didn't want to wake them over something as stupid as a rat. And with how faint the noise was...
She slowly untangles from Carlos as she stands to her feet.
"Mal?" Carlos groans, still half asleep.
"Shh," She coaxes, "It's alright. I'm just going to go check on something."
"Okay. Take Dude with you." Carlos smiles sleepily up at her before he curls against Evie in her absence, "Thanks, M. You best."
The mention of Dude hits her hard, but she quickly pushes it aside, "I know." She pats his head before she steps away from her pack.
She frowns, peering into the darkness as another soft sound catches her attention.
Her head tilts as she strains to hear-
Squeaking?
She frowns as she tries to place the strange and yet somehow familiar sound.
It wasn't-
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
How? How did that fucking marshmallow-
Oh no!
She looks around wildly.
Jay was in no condition to get up, let alone run.
And if that marshmallow was here-
Her heart pounds against her chest painfully as fear floods her.
Fuck!
They'd been- Fuck.
Her breath hitches as she struggles around a lump forming in her throat.
Fuck.
What were they supposed to do?
What was she supposed to do?
They couldn't be caught.
Evie and Carlos-
Maybe she and Jay could handle going back. But those two?
No.
Not after what happened with her mother.
If she'd been livid, Cruella and EQ would be-
She chokes on terror.
They couldn't go back.
She refused to let that happen.
Re-fucking-fused.
