2 days.
A lot happened in 2 days.
Hundreds of lives are born in 2 days.
Hundreds of lives are murdered in 2 days.
In 2 days Auradon wastes enough food to feed a dozen children.
In 2 days Castle Beast goes through 70 loafs of bread.
But the most shocking is that in just 2 days the truth that hid for the past 20 years has shown itself.
The 'heroes' spent 2 days on the Isle. That's all they could've taken.
Now, they were back home. They could get a hot bath with a message after that, that would be relaxing except they couldn't.
Non of them expected the Isle to be that terrible. No clean water. No decent food.. Nothing. The villains played their children like puppets. They starved them when they wanted. They tortured them when they wanted. The children lived like puppets in a dollhouse or in their case doll-Isle.
The heroes stayed in the hospital in which every child on the Isle was placed in. With the guards around them, they say unbelievable things.
Harry Hook, son of Captain James Hook was now currently in operation because his own father shot him. An hour ago CJ showed up in the hospital. The guards of course captured her but thank god Ben was near by. She broke into tears asking to see her sibling. She told him that she would give herself up if she was to see them. Now, she was holding her baby sister, Jessie in her arms while clutching to her older, Harriet.
Anthony Tremaine, son of Anastasia Tremaine was currently battling for his life because of the injuries he got from falling off a balcony. Cinderella and Henry just recieved word from the doctor that Anthony might have lost his ability to walk.
His uncle, Trace Tremaine - Cinderella's half-brother - was currently being skinned alive. His entire back was burned of acid that his mother threw at him. The only was for his skin to heal is for the doctors to remove the layer of skin that reeked of acid. Unfortunately for him, there were no drugs of pain-killers he could take to help him with the pain so he had to endure it all.
So how could the Auradonians relax at a time like this?
Adam arrived at the hospital half an hour ago with Belle and saw as dozens of children were being pulled on stretchers and got to either emergancy or operating rooms. He watched as the feeling of guilt struck him. It was mostly his fault. How could he forgive himself for the years those kids lost of the Isle. The Isle of the lost and forgotten. That was what they were, forgotten.
Those who had magic were finally allowed to use it to save their lives. The guy who froze Ben using Jafar's staff barely could walk. His entire body was burned. 3 to 4 wizards were present to heal him yet they couldn't even heal half of his body. It slowly got better within a couple hours as his body was fully healed yet his soul wasn't.
It was currently 11 A.M. 4 hours after their sudden arrival. Most of the little children who weren't harmed fell asleep. It took minutes after 11 for a doctor to come out.
"Harriet and CJ Hook." He called out. The 2 pirates heard their names being called and quickly walked to the doctor. Evie took Jessie from CJ's arms while the talked. "I am sorry. I really am." He started. "By observasion, your brother was previously shot at the exact same spot and didn't reseave proper treatment-"
"Cut the shit, doc. What are you trying to say."
"I'm saying that... Unfortunately, his body entered a stage where... a stage where-"
"Where what!?"
"His body, in order to save him, entered a coma stage." He said. "I'm sorry-"
"At least he's not dead." Harriet said looking at her sister.
Henry knocked the door. He opened it and let Cinderella and Chad walk in first. The nurses looked at them and bowed before continuing what they were doing. After finishing tying up the bandages, they got out.
"Hello Trace. You might not know me. I'm Henry. This is my son Chad and my wi-"
"My sister." Trace inturrupted. Chad cleared his throat. "Oh, sorry. Half-Sister, better?" Cinderella didn't really like the details but let it go. "What do you want?" He spat at their faces.
"Well, you are my broth-"
"You should've thought about the importance of family before forsakening my with mother." He reached to the back of his neck and untied the bandages. He turned around to reveal the scars of his back. His back was red, there was a thin layer of skin that looked like it was thinner then the bug's wings. It could break at any moment.
Cinderella placed her hand at his back only to hear him scream. He quickly turned around and slapped her hand away. It was clearly painful. Ella watched as tears rolled down his cheeks. "Where are my niece and nephew?" He asked rebandaging the areas. Chad wondered how Trace, a guy older then him in a single year was comfortable with saying he had a niece and nephew.
"I don't know."
"I've lived with villains my entire life, I can recognize a lie when I hear one. What happened to Anthony?"
Cinderella gulped not knowing how to put it in words. "Anthony lost control of his legs. He can no longer walk." She breathed.
Trace raised his eyebrow. "And you didn't do anything?"
"Yeah."
Trace growled at the sign of stupidity those Auradonians had shown. He placed his handed on the IV needle and pulled it off before getting up.
"What are you doing?" Henry quickly tried to stop him. Trace, in his condition, wasn't suppose to move.
"What does it look like I'm doing. I'm going to see my family, something you failed to do for the past 17 years." Trace spat at the king. Henry looked at Chad who understood and blocked the door. Trace just rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Step aside, Weakling."
Chad's face turned red. "Excuse me, how dare you talk to me like that! Do you know who I am?"
"Have you honestly learned nothing from your little trip to the Isle, you gutless fainthearted wimp. I. Do. Not. Care. Who. Your. Mummy who pampered you all our life nor do I care about how much money and power your daddy dearest have. As for who you are, you are my nephew so step aside brat."
Cinderella couldn't believe it. This was not how she imagined her first meeting with her long lost family would be like. Even more shocking was how Trace was acting. He was certainly wiser beyond his years, and the fact that he was very well spoken even when insulting them right to their faces.
"Ella, they're your family too. Go see them and be thankful at least Anthony isn't dead."
"Why do you all say that!" Henry exclaimed.
"Huh?"
"At least she isn't dead. At least he isn't dead. Why?"
"Because things would have gone much worse."
Ben was talking with the head of the emergency wing, Arnold when his parents poped up. "Gaia Legume is... well, your highness knows." Arnold couldn't say it. "We moved Legume to the regular wing. He's treatment will be done there. We will not rest till he wakes up." He quickly changed the subject to her brother.
"Good."
"Who wakes up?" Belle asked. Arnold bowed and left not wanting to get into the middle of what's probably going to happen.
"Gregory Legume." Ben said. "About a year ago, he tried commiting suicide by slitting his wrists. Since then, everyone except the Frankenstiens, Ginny Gothel, Harry Hook, Shan Yu's twin children and his older brother, Jr. thought he was dead. Those 7 kept him hidden till now."
"Suicide." Belle breathed.
"Greg was a Seer while his brother is a Mind-Caster." Ben stated.
Adam and Belle looked at each other. "Are those Gaston's first boys?" Belle asked as Ben nodded.
"Are they twins?" Adam was the one to ask.
"Yeah."
Belle looked at Adam. "We are needed somewhere." She told Ben before grabbing her husband's hand and moving to another corridor. "How could this have happened?" She couldn't believe. She turned to Adam.
"I don't know. Those 2 got send away for one sole reason." He spat. "No one can blame me for what happened to both of them because it was their mother the one that decided." He looked at his wife. "Their mother could have kept them here and raised them as princes but no."
"They are children of rape." Belle cried out.
"Does it really matter Belle. You didn't care that I had horns and was covered in fur, you didn't care if I looked like a monster but those boys are normal."
"A Seer and a Mind-Caster." She informed.
"Okay, you know what I mean. You didn't judge me. Why judge them?" He asked. "They're going to find out who their mother is sooner or later, Belle. What will we do then?"
"I don't know."
Belle and Adam walked the corridors till they reached the place most VKs under the ago of 13 stayed. They recognized that some older VKs were just comforting what looked like their younger siblings. Most children were sleeping as the older ones carried them to benches or seats so they would avoid sleeping on the floor.
"Why aren't they in any of the free rooms?" Belle stopped a nurse and asked.
"There aren't any free rooms ma'am. The rooms are full of those injured. These here are the physically unharmed ones. I can't tell you they are fine. That there." She pointed at a 16 or so looking year-old boy. "Yeah, I heard some of his friends saying his father used the Chinese Water Droplet Torture Technique as a form of punishment for a thing he didn't even do."
"The Water Torture." Adam looked at his wife. "I banned that torture way 20 years ago even on prisoners."
The boy was reading a bed time story to his little brother before stopping and kissing his little brother's forehead after realizing he was asleep. Belle walked to the teen. "Hi." She said with sympathy looking at the book in his hands. She didn't recognize it as she read almost every book written. "Who wrote this?" She asked. She read every book written and she never read this.
"Me." He said snatching the book from her hands and turning away from her. "So, you're a writer."
"No."
She was trying hard not to punch him. "I retired months ago."
"Why?" She asked.
"Family issues, I guess." He shrugged. "My father isn't a fan of writing or books or in fact anything that involves a brain." He explained. "I've lost everything I wrote months ago so it was better for me to stop writing. That there" He pointed at the book. "was the first book I've ever written. It's also the only book out of 67 that survived."
She started feeling sorry for him. "Lost in fire?" She asked hoping it was the right answer.
"More like a fire caused by dad."
There was only one person she could think of. "I'm Belle." She held out her hand. "I know." He nodded as he shook her hand. "I'm Third, but I like to be called Michael, Mikey for short." She smiled at the rather sarcastic yet bright minded boy.
"Third!" A nurse came ruhing in. "Gaston The Third!" She called out as he quickly turned to her. "What's up Kelly."
She panted. "Gaia... She... She needs to talk to you."
Third took that as a sign of trouble and rushed to her room leaving Belle all alone wondering. Third opened the door to find his sister all the way in the small bathroom, on her knees and puking her guts out. Kelly walked to her side.
"Oh, god." Third went to his sister and helped her get up. "You okay?" He asked. Gaia shook her head. "You wanna talk about it?" He looked at his twin who wanted to cry. She sat on the hospital bed and her eyes began dropping tears all across her pretty face. "I'm..." She sniffed as she gulped her saliva. "I'm pregnant." She choked. Third turned to Kelly.
Kelly was a volunteered nurse on the Isle. Black hair, brown eyes, pale face, slim figure, really pretty and had a hunger for something new. She graduated from Auradon University wanting adventure so she volunteered as a nurse on the Isle. She wanted adventure not torture. She realized what kind of a place the Isle really is after a few days. She couldn't just leave after seeing how the children were treated. She fell in shock years ago when a girl almost 14 years old was raped and got pregnant, that girl was Gaia. There was no question who the father of her unborn child was making the child not only her son but also her half-brother. It was disgusting what he did to her and he dared doing it again.
Kelly gave Third a tissue and went to fetch a glass of water. Third wiped Gaia's tears. Kelly gave his a glass of water, he passed it onto Gaia who drank a few sips before handing it back. Gaia just clutched onto her brother. "What am I suppose to do now?" She whispered. Third just looked at her. "I don't know." He admitted.
"Where's Gustav?" She asked. "He's fine. Asleep actually." Third assured her that her son was okay. "Where's Junior?" She asked again. Third raised his shoulders. "I don't know." He admitted then turned to Kelly. "Where's he?" He asked her.
"Chained up to an armchair, probably." The black haired woman told them.
Ben and the rotten 4 looked at the door. Belle and Adam walked to them. "Mom, dad. What are you doing here?" Ben quickly asked. Adam looked at his son. "We want to meet this Mind-Caster." He said. Belle just nodded.
They opened the door to find Gaston the Second sitting on an armchair. His legs were on the chair while his right hand was on one of the arms of the chair. "Gaston Jr." Ben called making Junior turn to them.
"Why hello, your majesties." He mocked them sarcastically. "I apologize for not bowing down, I just can't." He raised his right hand to show them a handcuff that was attached to the arm.
"Drop the act, Junior. We all know you can break that handcuff in a matter of seconds." Mal said.
Junior shrugged. "Oh, no small talk. Such a shame." He lowered his hand to the armchair side before hitting the cuff down causing it to break in front of their eyes. "Handcuff Abu Kelb." He said looking at Jay.
"Huh?" Most of them asked. Ben turned to Jay who understood what Jr. said. Jay placed his hand on Ben's shoulder. "It's an Arabic insult/expression. It's translation is 'Father of a bitch' but it's mostly used to say an object is either can be broken easily, really cheap or just plain shit."
Belle raised her eyebrows. "You speak Arabic?" She asked. Junior just nodded, got up and walked to them.
"Your sister... Gaia... She's-"
"Pregnant, I know."
"WHAT!"
"I knew long before any of you... and her." Jr. interrupted Ben as he started stretching. They just stared at him. "I can sense lives." He pointed out. He turned to Adam. "I know what are you thinking. I won't allow myself to be locked up right after I finally had a breath of freedom. You can't lock me up, no one can resist my powers. Ask Maleficent."
"Maleficent?" All of them were puzzled. Why was Maleficent in the middle of this.
"Do you really think she was the one that needed the wand. She wouldn't have thought of the wand if her life depended on it." He threw himself on the bed.
Mal looked shocked. "You brainwashed my mother?!"
"No." He denied. "I merely planted the thought in her mind. I just needed her to take the wand so I could have it, kick every villain in dungeons, save every child on the Isle and live happily ever after, easy peasy." He looked at his nails as their jaws dropped. "But then you had to ruin everything and now we're suffering the consequences for the shitty decisions you made. Thanks a lot guys!"
"If you could so call brainwash people, why didn't you do it to Gaston?" Carlos asked.
"I can't use my mind abilities on anyone blood related to me. That might be the only weakness that I have."
"But Malef-"
"She's Gil's mother, not mine." He stared at the ceiling. He wondered what was going to happen to his sister. "She's finally released from that prison, only 17 if I may add and is pregnant with her second child." He said.
Everyone looked at each other. Junior raised his hand as a gesture for them not to talk. "Trust me she is having the hardest decision weither to abort this one of not."
"Wait, she was pregnant before?" Belle asked.
"Yeah." Junior said with a tone that was full of shame and guilt. Those two things he held on because he couldn't protect her from their father. "Gaston fucked most the women on the Isle that's why most of us are just half-siblings, but things changed when his wife died. Women slept with him only once, like a one night stand but mom was the only one the actually slept with him, always."
"Mom?" Ben asked. "I thought you said you didn't know-"
"My step-mother, Claudette. She was more of a mother to me then anyone so when she passed away Sir dickhead needed a new sex doll."
"Gaia." Ben said. Junior snapped his fingers. "Yeah."
Belle looked at her husband. "And the first child?"
"My little brother Gustav, you probably saw him with Third."
Belle just nodded remembering the face of the innocent boy that was born into a wicked life. "Excuse me." She said before getting out of the room. She ran from the corridor and entered the women's bathroom, somewhere no one could see her. She slowly started to cry, she shouldn't have ever agreed to it almost 18 years ago, maybe then she would have at least saved Junior and Greg's lives.
