Faking It [REWORKING '23]

chapter 11

oh wow this was short :\
like Peter and I said, if we get the good feedback, and have the support, we will make a sequel. If we have all that good stuff, it will come sooner rather than later.
so! without further ado, here's the Faking It Epilogue.

With the paramedics on the scene, everything had seemed more realistic. Carlos stayed planted firmly on the ground, staring as the nurses pulled the girls onto their gurneys. Mal and Jay watched him as he just stared, unmoving.

"He okay?" One of the paramedics asked, gesturing over to Carlos who had pulled his coat around his body.

"I think he knew them," Jay muttered, walking over to Carlos. The paramedics began asking Mal and the others a few questions.

"Where's Brody?" Carlos asked, his voice hoarse and stiff. Jay looked at him, barely seeing the tear that slid down his cheek. "Where is he?" He croaked, sniffling.

"Carlos, I have no idea," Jay admitted, wrapping an arm around the small boy. "I thought he'd be with you like every other time."

There was a brief pause before Carlos was darting out of the alley to get the trucks, a few paramedics having to pull him back. He yelled and cried for "Kay's Genies," whatever that meant to him. And Jay walked over, seeing how broken he was when they wouldn't let him on.

"Please, just take him, we're all going to be running there and he won't make it two blocks without them," Jane said, lying straight through her teeth. She honestly had no idea what the girls meant to him or how close they were.

"Alright, kid, but don't say we didn't do anything for you," one of them said, pulling him up. Carlos sat next to the brunette, taking her hand and stroking her cheek. The door clammed shut and then they were off.

"Looks like we're off," Ben sighed, as he gave Jane a pat on the back and took her hand. She stumbled a bit but managed to keep up, wondering how Mal and Jay maintained the pace they were going at.

Approaching the Auradon hospital, Mal and Jay eyed the King's limo as it sat right up front the building. Ben had successfully gotten something at Carlos' request.

Going into the building, the group of teens were directed to the UCC, where guards were standing before the doors and nodded at Prince Ben before letting them in. It had smelt of chemicals and the shrieks and groans from the patients was off setting.

Before long, they did make it to the 'kids section' of the center, another door guarding the metal threshold. The buff one gave Prince Ben a nod, before pulling it open, revealing two rooms with clear glass walls and a small room in between.
Carlos, Queen Belle, King Beast and a doctor were in the small room, all seated around a table.

"What do you think they're saying?" Evie asked, standing still as she felt the blonde one eyeing her. She looked half dead on her bed, her eyes half lidded and staring directly at the princess.

"What the hell had happened?" Mal suggested, shrugging her shoulders and walking over to brunette who was staying in the opposite room. However, she wasn't in bed, nor was she insight of anyone. "Where's she-," Mal cut herself off, startled when the girl threw a plate at the glass. Mal had figured she was behind the large mechanical bed.

"Wait, how isn't she affected by the medication?" Jay asked just in time for the doctor and the royals to come out, Carlos in tow.

"She's Captain Hook's daughter," Carlos mumbled. Then pointed to the blonde, "Alice's daughter.

"Wait, so you're telling me that this entire time, both had just been able to go around without getting trapped on the foul Isle?" Ben asked Carlos, propping his feet up on the foot stool. They were currently seated in the patience space just to the right of the two rooms.

"They hadn't been accounted for with Fairy Godmother's magic. Which is why they could go between the dome's barrier," Carlos explained. "Cal had been a pirate, the whole wood leg, hook hand ordeal. But once she was in the dome when they did the kid sweep, she was brought out here, seemingly put together."

"And Jean?" Evie asked, looking over at the blonde still laying asleep.

"Jeanine and Cal were friends, but she was always in the woods and away from us. When Brody managed to escape through the 'accidental glitch' that I had made, she left with him, to go find Cal."

"And they're his sisters?" Mal questioned, not certain about anything anymore.

"More or less. Family is friends, and they had been so close to him they were family," Carlos said.

"And what happened to them? Did they do it to each other?" Jay asked, confused with the girls' separation.

Carlos shrugged, "We don't know yet, we're waiting for Cal's adrenaline to run down and for Jeanine to wake up."

"And when they do? What are we going to do about them? What's Auradon going to do about them?" Jane asked timidly.

"I say," everyone looked over at Ben. "We let them into Auradon Prep just as we did with the others, and see what goes from there."

Carlos was struck with a wild plan as he glanced at the girls behind the glass. Perhaps, this little problem had become the key to his success. The girls had easily become part of his little scheme, but no one needed to know that.
