Takes place after Descendants 2, with the exception of this prologue scene…
Felicity's POV:
I had been watching the Coronation when it happened. The Barrier surrounding the Isle was broken.
I ran down from my room, through our waiting area, & wrapped on the door to my dad's office. "Dad! You won't believe it! This is our chance to…" My voice trailed off as he opened the door. He didn't like to be interrupted.
"Felicity, I'm with a client." he said, smoothly pushing me out of the way as he closed the door. Fine, he can just stay here then…
I wasn't going to let my chance slip away.
I ran back to my room & quickly packed a bag with some clothes, as well as a few treasured possessions. I grabbed my cards, as well as a few other tools of our trade. As I raced back downstairs, I realized…
I might never see this place again.
I knew I didn't have much time, but I grabbed a pad of paper & a pen from the reception desk where I usually worked.
Dad –
The Barrier is down. I'm going to Auradon. Don't worry, I still plan to work the family business…but I expect a lot more work can be found on the other side of the Barrier.
I considered adding more, but he'd probably just call me soft. He may have been a villain, but he wasn't a bad father…There were definitely kids on the Isle who had it much worse…
I'll miss you.
Ok, fine, so maybe it's ok to be soft when you're about to leave your home behind forever.
When I got to the door, I took one last look…& left.
News travels fast on the Isle. Everybody was making a mad dash to the docks, looking for any sort of transport to get out of here.
I came across three young guys, untying the knot keeping a small rowboat docked.
"I'm going with you." I said. It wasn't a question.
"You're rowing." said the one untying the knot. It also wasn't a question.
"Hey, aren't you…" one of the others asked.
"Yes." I said. "I am." This seemed to satisfy them. I didn't know who these kids were, but they were probably kids of some of the lower level criminals who got sent here.
Eventually, we hit the shores of Auradon at a little inlet. We made it!
"What do we do about the boat?" said the one who had recognized me.
"Let's torch it!" said the first guy, flicking open a lighter.
"Wait." I said, grabbing his wrist. "Everybody here is still watching the Coronation." I nodded towards the homes nearby, whose backyards were this little stretch of beach. "If they smell the smoke, or see the flames, they'll know we're here."
"Then what do you suggest we do?" asked the other guy. He hadn't spoken until now.
I stepped back to push our little rowboat back into the open water.
"We just let it drift away. Ether they'll think it was just cut loose or they'll think we landed wherever it washes up." I said, rejoining the others. We stood & watched that rowboat drift out to sea.
None of us had met before today. If all went to plan, we would never see each other again…but we would always be joined by this moment. We traded glances with each other, each realizing exactly what we had done.
We were here. We made it.
After the moment passed, we each turned & set out in different directions.
Our new lives were about to begin.
This fic will be based on the first two Descendants films (since it seems like Wicked World follows its own continuity, & I haven't read the Melissa de la Cruz book series yet). I've had this story idea in the back of my mind all summer, so I've decided to actually write it out & share it with all of you! I hope you enjoy it!
Please review!
