This is my first multi-chapter story.
Note: Italics mean flashbacks
Things look bleak for Auradon from what is occurring at Castle Beast. Maleficent is back to normal and is on the verge of taking over the kingdom, alongside Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil. Their children, Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos, are in cuffs and at their mercy. Carlos has a hopeless look on his face, Jay is glaring at his father, and Evie has a nervous look on her face, all because Mal was glaring at her with rage in her eyes.
"At long last, Auradon will finally pay for their crimes," said Maleficent, rejoiced at nearing the completion of her revenge. "But first, we must deal with our children." Maleficent walks up to her daughter and kneels down to look at her face-to-face.
"I must say I'm very disappointed in you, Mal. You had your chance to prove yourself a true villain, and yet you chose to turn on your own mother. And look where that's got you," said Maleficent to her child. Mal can only feel more rage in her as she looked at her mother in the eye.
"You have one choice, children," continued Maleficent. "You can either join us and taste the sweet flavor of vengeance, or you can continue to oppose us and we'll have to punish you dearly. What's it going to be?"
The Descendants remained silent, but Mal looked like she was ready to explode.
"Well, you don't have to decide right now. I'll give you until sunrise to choose. Until then, you'll be locked away in the dungeon," said Maleficent.
Not too long after, the four ex-villains are locked up in a prison cell in Castle Beast Dungeon. Mal's hands are chained with enchanted cuffs, courtesy of her mother, so she can't use her magic. Carlos found a harmonica and started playing sad music, which only further brings down the moods of his friends.
"Carlos!" yelled Mal, Evie, and Jay.
"What?" questioned Carlos. Jay quickly took the harmonica from him.
"Not helping," said Jay as he threw the harmonica outside the cell.
"Hey, E," said Mal with a sweet tone, hiding the raging fury within her. "If, by some miracle, we escape, I am so going to give you a big hug."
"Really?" asked a delighted Evie.
"Yes. A hug so big that it can squeeze you into dust!" said Mal, as her tone went from sweet to anger.
"Why would you even think of doing that?" asked Evie nervously.
"Why? Why?! Oh, maybe it's because you're the reason we're in this mess!" yelled Mal again.
"How can this be my fault?" asked an offended Evie.
"You're so smart. I think you already know," said Jay.
"Um, Carlos, help me," begged Evie.
"Leave me out of this," responded Carlos with both his arms in the air.
Evie now feels blue and feels bad for putting her friends in this predicament and all of Auradon in danger. "Maybe it is my fault," she admitted.
Fifteen hours ago...
It was a bright, sunny day in Auradon. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the flowers were dancing to the wind. In the dormitory of Auradon Prep, in the room of Mal and Evie, both girls woke up as the sun shone in through the windows. Mal woke up with messy hair, only she hasn't noticed, while Evie was reaching for her mirror only to knock down a bottle of perfume to the floor. Mal notices that Evie still looked sleepy so she walks over to her friend.
"Hey, E, did you sleep well? You look terrible," said Mal.
"I look terrible? You should see your hair," retorted Evie.
Mal grabbed Evie's mirror and saw the current condition of her hair.
"Doesn't matter. What's wrong?" asked Mal, changing the subject.
"All right, I haven't been getting any sleep. For like... since Ben's coronation ceremony," confessed Evie.
"Why? Bad dreams?" wondered Mal.
"Not 'bad' dreams exactly," answered Evie.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Mal.
"Not really," said Evie.
"Well, I know you would like to freshen up for a new day, but as your friend, I suggest that you get more sleep," said Mal.
"But what if Doug wants to hang out?" asked Evie.
"I'll tell him that you're not feeling well. Technically, that wouldn't be lying because you're really tired. You can't even focus." responded Mal.
"I'll be fine," demanded Evie.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" asked Mal.
"Three? Four?" guessed Evie.
"Two," corrected Mal. "You need sleep. This is no longer a suggestion."
"If you say so, Queen Kill Joy," mocked Evie.
"I'm not queen yet," remarked Mal.
Mal shuts the curtains to prevent sunlight from entering the room so Evie can get more sleep. After fixing her hair, sort of, and dressing up, Mal leaves the room and Evie tries to get some extra sleep. But the blue-haired teenage girl still can't get some shut eye. Whatever was in her thoughts in her sleep is clearly bothering her.
Later that morning, after freshening up, Evie decided to visit Castle Beast to see King Ben. Lumiere and Cogsworth gladly escorted her to where the young kind is currently present. In the castle fireplace.
"Your highness, you have a visitor," started Lumiere.
"Mistress Evie from the Isle of the Lost," finished Cogsworth.
Lumiere and Cogsworth leave the room so Evie can speak with Ben.
"What can I do for you, Evie?" asked Ben.
"Um, well, I don't really know where to start, but... I was wondering... if... uh... I could... ask for your permission to..." paused Evie. "...visit the Isle."
"Wait, what?" asked a confused Ben.
"I would like to ask for permission from his royal highness if I could visit the Isle of the Lost," said Evie in a formal manner.
"Why?" asked Ben again.
"It's none of your business, but it's important," answered Evie.
"I would like to grant your permission, but I have to talk to Mal about this first," said Ben as he headed for the door, only to be blocked by Evie.
"No, you can't tell Mal. This is private matter. I need to go to the Isle. Alone," insisted Evie.
"Well, I'm sorry, Evie. If I let you wander off to the Isle alone, who knows what Mal will do?" said Ben.
"Curse me and break up with you," guessed Evie.
"Funny," responded Ben. "Again, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to deny your permission. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a couple of things I need to take care of. I am King now."
"Why do think I asked for your permission," said Evie in disappointment as she exited the room. As soon as she left the castle, an idea pops up in her head.
Soon, Evie found the castle garage. She sets her eyes on the limo that brought her and her friends to Auradon. The driver was inside playing games on his phone. Evie sneaks inside and tries to make sure the driver doesn't notice her. She reaches the window of the driver seat and knocks. The driver opens the window only to get sprayed in the face with perfume. But after a few seconds, the driver falls asleep. After dragging him behind a bush, Evie takes his keys and hops on the limo. Suddenly, she realized something.
"Wait a minute. I can't drive," said Evie to herself.
But Evie was determined to get to the Isle no matter what. She starts the limo and starts driving. However, because of her inability to drive, she was driving recklessly on and off the road and almost collided with a tree.
"Chemistry is so much easier than this," complained Evie.
After unintentionally endangering a few civilians and close collisions with more trees, Evie finally made it to the Isle of the Lost. She pushes the button that deactivates the barrier and the magical bridge shows up. Evie manages to drive all the way inside and immediately reactivates the barrier. She quickly exits the limo, but not before locking it first, and hides behind a dumpster to avoid being spotted.
"Okay, Evie, it's quite simple. Just get what you came here for, use the sleeping perfume on anyone that gets in your way, and drive back to Auradon before anyone finds out you're gone," said Evie, trying to add confidence to ignore her nervousness.
Back in the dormitory, Mal has just returned from a trip to the salon with Lonnie. Her hair was more than fixed, she was wearing a whole new style. Mal enters her room only to see that Evie is not in bed.
"She better not left the second I was gone," hoped Mal. She reaches for her phone and contacts Carlos. "Hey, Carlos."
"Hey, Mal." greeted Carlos.
"Carlos, have you seen Evie?" asked Mal.
"No, I haven't," answered Carlos. "Why?"
"Well, she hasn't been getting sleep for the past few weeks so I told her to get some extra sleep. When I came back, she was gone." explained Mal
Suddenly, a call comes in. It was Jay. Mal answers.
"I hope you have a good reason for calling me, Jay, because I'm in the middle of something important."
"Um, Mal, there's something you need to see," said Jay.
Soon, Mal shows up where Jay asked her to meet him. He was just outside the royal garage.
"So, Jay, what did you want me to see?" asked Mal.
"Right over... Wow! Mal! Since when are you a fashionista? Look at your hair!" started Jay.
"I know. Lonnie noticed that my hair was a mess so she took me to a salon," explained Mal. "So, again, what did you want me to see?"
Jay reaches behind a bush and pulls out an unconscious body.
"Wait, I know him. He was the guy who drove us here to Auradon in a limo," said Mal.
"And guess what, the limo's gone," added Jay.
"We need to tell Ben," said Mal.
Back in the Isle, Evie was doing her best trying not attract any attention. She has lived in the Isle since birth so pretty much everyone knows her. She would stick out like a disco ball at a party if she was out in the open. After almost getting discovered by a little boy in an alley, Evie made it to her old home, her mother's castle. Evil Queen's castle.
"So good to be home," said a nervous Evie.
Inside, Evil Queen was having a cup of tea while fixing her face until she heard a knock on the door. She opens the door only to see that no one is there.
"Is this some kind of prank?" guessed an annoyed Evil Queen, until she heard the door close. She tried to open it, but it was locked. She remembered that the keys are inside so she's locked out.
Inside, Evie sighs in relief that her mother didn't see her. She knew that the locked door will make her suspicious, but she'll try to make sure her mother still thinks it's just some prankster and not her own daughter. After taking a brief sight-seeing at her old home, Evie made it to her room. She started looking for what she came for, but her search was interrupted by the sound of her mother's voice.
"Seriously?! Oh, never mind. Find the intruder!" yelled an infuriated Evil Queen.
"Oh, no," said Evie quietly.
She peeked downstairs to see two soldiers searching for the intruder and saw that the door was sliced in half. She recognized the soldiers as Maleficent's guards. It would stand to reason that they're now working for the Evil Queen since Maleficent is gone.
Evie decided that she has to leave and return to Auradon. She sneaks downstairs and tip-toes her way to the front door while trying to stay hidden. Unfortunately, she accidentally knocks down a glass figurine off a table. It shattered to piece as it hits the ground. This sound captured the attention of Evil Queen and the soldiers. They investigate the room where the sound came from, but all they found was broken pieces on the floor.
"My glass figurine!" screamed Evil Queen. "Whoever is in here, show yourself!"
Evie, meanwhile, made it to the front door and exits. Just when it looks like she's safe, she was spotted. She turned her attention to a little boy, recognizing him as the one who almost saw her when she was sneaking through an alley.
"Hey, I know you! You're the Evil Queen's daughter!" said the boy. "Hey! Your majesty! Your daughter is out here!"
In the blink of an eye, Evil Queen and the soldiers made it outside. Evie can only shake in fear as she looked at her mother face-to-face.
"Well, isn't this a surprise. Hello, Evie. I see you're still as beautiful as ever," started Evil Queen.
"Hi, mom," said Evie nervously. "Um, if you don't mind. I was just leaving." Evie was about to make a run for it when she was halted by another soldier.
"Leaving so soon? But the family reunion has just begun," said Evil Queen.
Evie pulls out her sleeping perfume and points it at her mother. "Let me go or I use this," threatened Evie. Unfortunately, a guard took it from her hands and gave it to Evil Queen.
"I assume this is no ordinary perfume," guessed Evil Queen. She sprays Evie with it and she passes out.
Back in Auradon, Mal and Jay, along with Carlos, showed Ben the unconscious body of the limo driver.
"How long has he been out?" asked Ben.
"I don't know. I just found him like this," answered Jay.
Ben's attention turned to Mal's new hair style. "Your hair looks great," he complimented her.
"Thanks," responded Mal.
Suddenly, Cogsworth bursts into the room. "Your majesty! Your majesty!" he cried out.
"Calm down, Cogsworth. What's the matter?" asked Ben.
"Several citizens are complaining about an out-of-control limo," reported Cogsworth.
"Out-of-control limo?" questioned Ben.
"Yes. Fortunately, no one was hurt. The last sighting of the limo was at the Isle of the Lost," further reported Cogsworth.
"Oh, no," mumbled Ben.
"What?" asked Mal.
"Mal, Evie came in here earlier today. She was asking permission to go the Isle alone. I told her no because I knew you wouldn't like it. But my guess is she decided to go there herself. I guess it's safe to say she used that sleeping perfume on the driver and took his limo to get there," explained Ben.
"Ben, we need transportation, now!" insisted Mal.
Five years ago...
It was Evie's 11th birthday and, just like every year, she is having a party at her house. For the sixth straight year, she didn't invite Mal, but who can blame her? The villains' kids are eating the delicious party pastries while Evie is opening her gifts. She received plenty of mirrors, lipstick, and combs of different styles. When she was finished opening all the presents, she began chowing down a cupcake. Just then, a 9-year-old Carlos shows up with a nervous look on his face and hiding something behind his back.
"Hey, Carlos!" greeted Evie as she rushes over to her new friends and gives him a hug, suffocating him.
"Nice to see you, too," said Carlos, despite feeling crushed. "Can I have my lungs back?"
Evie releases him and apologizes. "Sorry. I'm glad to see you here. Why didn't you show up earlier? I thought I sent the invitation over to your house."
"I received it, but my mom forbid me from coming. Lucky for me, she had to take a shower so I had an opportunity to escape. I would've arrived a few minutes earlier, but I realized I didn't have a gift for you. So I tried to find one," explained Carlos.
"Well, what did you get me?" asked Evie, excited.
Carlos was hesitant to show her at first, fearing she may not like it, but after taking a deep breathe, he removes his hand from behind his back and reveals a beautiful blue rose. Evie was speechless.
"I know, it's not much, but I hoped that..." Carlos was interrupted when Evie grabbed the rose from his hand and gave him another big hug.
"Don't be silly. I love it," said Evie as she let go of Carlos.
"Really?" asked Carlos.
"How can I not? It's wonderful. Thanks, Carlos," said Evie.
"Happy birthday, Evie," greeted Carlos. The two exchanged smiles until Carlos dropped his and turns around. "Well, I love to stay for the party, but my mom will be out the shower soon and she wouldn't be happy that I left the house without permission."
"Wait, before you go..." Evie rushes back to the party and grabbed a cupcake. She runs back to Carlos and gives it to him.
"Thanks," said Carlos.
Back in the Isle, Evie regains consciousness only to find herself chained down to a chair in her own room. She not only saw her mother, but she also saw Jafar and Cruella de Vil present.
"Welcome back to the Isle, Evie. Enjoy your stay," started Jafar.
"I doubt her stay will be brief," said Cruella.
"So, Evie, why are you here?" asked Evil Queen.
"None of your business," answered Evie strictly.
"How about we change the subject. Where are your friends?" asked Evil Queen.
"They're not here. I came alone," answered Evie.
"Well, that wasn't very smart of you," said Cruella.
"I think I'm aware," said Evie sarcastically.
Before more questions were asked, a soldier comes in with a remote in his hand. Evie gasped because it was the remote that activates/deactivates the barrier surrounding the Isle.
"My queen, I believe you would want to see this," said the guard.
Later, the three villains, along with Evie, still cuffed with guards watching her, were led by the soldier to the limo Evie drove to the Isle. The soldier presses the button and the barrier was deactivated. The magical bridge appears.
"So that button activates the barrier?" questioned Jafar.
"If it's technology, how can it nullify magic?" wondered Cruella.
"Like it matters. What matters is now we can leave," pointed out Evil Queen.
"We can finally get revenge on Auradon," said Jafar.
"But won't we need Maleficent to lead us?" questioned Cruella.
"Well, she's a lizard now. She's no threat to anyone," said Evie.
"We know of what happened to Maleficent. We were watching the coronation on TV," said Evil Queen. "And I must say I was surprised when I heard Mal say you became a very smart person. How are you going to attract a prince if you focus more on your brains instead of your beauty?"
"I don't need a prince. I already found my prince in Doug," retorted Evie.
"Who is he?" asked Evie Queen.
"The son of Dopey the dwarf," answered Evie with a smile on her face.
Evie Queen gasps, shocked and horrified.
Meanwhile, outside the Isle, Mal, Ben, Jay, and Carlos arrived in another limo. The former king Beast drove and his wife, Belle, accompanied them. The teenagers exited the limo to see that the barrier has been deactivated. They could only fear the worst as they awaited for what's coming next.
That concludes the first chapter.
