Trying To Be Good

We're Trapped

CHAPTER 40

"That was a really good idea, to check Audrey's room. Now, we know that we're on the right track," Zoe tells Uma as she walks over to Uma and Celia, who are eating cake.

"Is there an insult in there that I missed?" Uma asks as she faces Zoe.

"Just... I wanted to thank you," Zoe tells Uma with a smile.

"I don't know whose birthday it is, but I want this cake," Uma says as she and Zoe sit across from each other, eating Jane's cake.

"So, Mal and I maybe kind of missed the boat a little bit on calling you Shrimpy and not letting you join the gang," Zoe explains to Uma.

"Yeah. We really could've torn up the Isle together," Uma says with a smile. Zoe uses her finger to get some icing before eating it causing Uma to giggle. Boards then start covering all of the windows and doors.

"Celia!" Uma calls as Zoe and Uma stand up and hold onto each other.

"We're trapped!" Celia calls before running over to them.

"Are you guys okay? What's going on?" Evie asks as she, Mal, and Doug run into the room.

"You've caused my friends pain and fear. We've had enough, now disappear!" Zoe chants as her eyes turn purple but nothing happens. "You guys, I'm sorry. My spells aren't working. Audrey's magic is getting stronger." Uma grabs Zoe's arm as her necklace starts glowing.

"You've caused our friends pain and fear we've had enough, now disappear," Uma and Zoe chant together as they hold hands. All of the boards fall off of the windows and doors.

"You did it!" Mal cheers.

"Together! This is what Mal and I've been talking about," Evie adds.

"I guess my shell likes you," Uma says causing Zoe to laugh. Uma then pulls the ember out of her necklace. "Why don't you hold on to that?" Uma hands the ember to Zoe before they fist bump. Celia then runs over to the door and looks out.

"Hey, it's your bae," Celia tells Zoe as she turns around causing Zoe to gasp and run for the door.

"Ben!" Zoe calls causing Ben to quickly hug her.

"Are you okay?" Ben asks her.

"Yeah. I'm so much better right now. Are you okay?" Zoe asks as she steps back and actually takes him in.

"Yeah," Ben answers her before turning to Uma, who is hugging Harry and Gil. "I always knew you'd be part of the solution."

"What is this?" Zoe asks as she messes with Ben's beard.

"Oh, yeah," Ben says as he shows it off.

"I could get used to this," Zoe says with a smile.

"You like it?" Ben asks her.

"I love this," Zoe answers him.

"What about those?" Uma asks as she walks over and motions about his fangs.

"No," Zoe says as Ben smiles.

"I like them," Ben tells her causing Zoe to smile and roll her eyes. She really loved Ben, no matter how he looked.

"Okay, so, we all think that Audrey could be at Fairy Cottage. We have no idea where it is. Did she ever take you there?" Zoe explains to Ben.

"Every Fairy Godmother's Day," Ben answers her before turning to Jane. "Where is Fairy Godmother when you need her?"

"I wish I knew," Jane answers him.

"Doug! Go with Jane. We need to find Fairy Godmother," Ben orders.

"They might need some muscle," Uma tells Ben as she walks over.

"Hey," Doug says offended while Gil looks at his own muscles.

"Well, I'll go," Gil says.

"Yeah, actually, I would feel better," Carlos says as he hugs Jane.

"Yeah, actually, I'd feel better, too," Evie agrees.

"Same," Zoe says as she stands beside Evie.

"Actually, I would, too," Doug says finally.

"All right, man. Let's do it. Let's go, Jane," Gil says excitedly.

"Be careful, okay?" Carlos tells Jane.

"I will," Jane says as they hug again. Gil, Doug, and Jane leave to find Fairy Godmother. Zoe walks over to Ben, holding his hand as she leans her head on his shoulder as they watch their friends leave.
