Hey so for a more complex review.

First of, this is my very first story so I really hope you enjoy it and any feedback you have is very welcome, I do my best.

Now, I really loved the movie descendants 1 and 2 so I decided to pay a little tribute. I am going to talk about the rotten four and how their lives in the Isle could've been like seeing that Disney probably didn't enter there because it is a family movie. But I think being the sons and daughters of the most despicable villains had its consequences. Like the movies were mostly focussed in Mal, being the daughter of the mistress of Evil and ruler of the Isle of the Lost, my story would be based in another character, this will be explained in the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own descendants or any of the characters.

Being in Auradon was a dream come true, but… it didn't feel just right. Maybe running for your live everyday for 16 years had something to do with it, adapting was more difficult than any of them could have foreseen, even for Evie, Jay and Carlos was difficult and they didn't have to deal with reporters, constantly pressuring them not to follow their parents footsteps, they did pressure them but it wasn't every waking moment like they did with Mal. Don't they know that telling someone not to do something just make that something more tempting?

Maybe that was the reason Evie hadn't talked about her hard time adapting to anyone, not even to Mal; but that was okay, because that way she could listen to her friends to Mal, or that is what she told herself. Mal needed a friend, a shoulder to cry on, she was under so much pressure than any of them. Mal needed a friend that knows what she had been through, and that person, for Mal, Carlos, and Jay, was Evie. She was the one who kept the team in their senses; Mal led them and kept them alive, Jay protected them, Carlos was the one who figured the tactics and Evie was the one who healed them when injured and listened and helped them stay sane. So she just listened and said nothing because she didn't want them to worry about her.

Evie's mind went on and on, thinking about everything. About how great it had been living in Auradon but how, different.

Evie had loved everything about Auradon but even after the fight with Maleficent at the coronation, she felt like an outcast. As much as she hated admitting part of her missed the isle. Certainly not her mother, but the feeling of not having to hide all your scars because everyone there was as screwed up as her and as her friends. But even with that, she wouldn't go back to the isle, that would be suicidal. Not for any reason would she go back. Yes, it was true the isle, at least in that sense was more open, in Auradon no-one knew how to deal with them and with their past, not that they even knew about it, but still. AK's knew how to deal with happy, sad and even angry people, but not damaged and broken like them.

The only person who actually tried approaching them in a different way was fairy godmother. It may have something to with her being there when Carlos had a break down just a day after they first got to Auradon. Other than her no one knew what to do under those situations.

After hours of spinning around, she tired herself.

She looked down at what she was doing "Crap" She muttered. She had been trying to do her homework, but once she realized she wasn't about to do anything she closed her books and tried getting some sleep.

Ever since the coronation, Mal hasn't felt a lot like her self. Sure the first days were a blast but then the reporters started.

Interviews, being the biggest celebrity, the one everyone looks up to. She wasn't that type of girl, she liked darkness not being photographed every time she put a foot out of her room.

Now here she was discussing with the one person she thought would help her go through all this.

Since the coronation, the great fight with Maleficent and Mal being the king's girlfriend thing started getting more and more difficult.

Mal was trying her very best for her friends because she saw how happy being in Auradon made Carlos, Jay, and Evie and because she cared about Ben. The problem was that Ben couldn't get his mind in how hard adapting have been for all the VKs, especially for Mal, so he thought she wasn't trying with all her will of power. This was the drop that spilled the glass of water in Mal's head: "Who does he think he is? Accusing me of not trying enough? Hasn't that all that I've been doing? Things in Auradon were different than in the isle but not caring, not trying? I have done that since I was 5. He has just gotten there, he was just experiencing what working for something means and didn't even have a clue of what true suffering means. She had survived the isle and that was saying something because there were some that didn't make it, not that she liked to talk about it, but anyway, really… Not caring?"

"You want to know who I am? I am fake, all this is fake, my hair, god damn it! The food is fake. I'm not made to be royalty, I don't do well under this kind of pressure, everyone just expects me to be perfect. I am not that, I am a survivor, not a princess, not that you could even tell the difference"

"Mal, I haven't accused you of not being perfect" He must have ignored, in his anger, those little clues that she had teased him. He just ignored her begging for sympathy, that her world changed 3 months ago, at much. She wasn't ready to be this person everyone wanted her to be. "I just think you aren't trying enough, don't you care about the kingdom, about me?"

Wrong choice of words.

"Did he just said not trying enough?" She thought. Her face was frowning, her body changed into a defensive position. Her hands changed into a fist.

"Everything I've done has been for you, haven't you noticed it yet? Every single thing. But I can't handle it anymore" With this, the blonde girl took off.

She walked strides. She wasn't even noticing her path.

Her mind was all jumbled.

"Did he really said not caring? All I have done is care! Care for him, care for his fucking kingdom, care for those fucking persons who had sentenced us to live in a place where you can't even have true feelings because they equal a death wish" Her eyes were now electric green.

She stormed her way to the boys' dorm. It was empty. The boys must be on the tourney field. Of course, they didn't have anything to worry about, they weren't king Bens girlfriend

She exited the room not before kicking the chair and accidentally dropping Jay's trophy from his last competition. "He'll get a new one," she thought, every moment getting angrier and angrier.

By the time she got to her dorm she was a bit calmer but still determined to take the worst decision in her life. She opened the door and noticed her blue-haired friend sleeping in her bed.

She sighed at the thought that it was one of the few times she had seen her lay her guard off. Even in Auradon the four of them have had a hard time quitting old habits it was 16 years of animal instinct for survival compared to months in this place.

She wanted to do the same, get peace, sleep rest, perhaps things were better this way. Perhaps Ben was right, perhaps she wasn't trying enough. "Bullshit, I have cared and because I have I had paid a very high price"

She was furious.

"I'm not good for this kingdom, all I have caused everyone is suffering, I haven't been a good girlfriend and certainly will not be a good hero. Why try? It's in my genes. I was destined to be evil. To be treated as such, that's why I was given the life on the isle. Wasn't it? We were all destined to be evil.

Think about it Mal. Not everyone is too happy about the four of you, they still treat you like crap, villains.

The only ones who actually cared for us were the ones we were forced to interact with us. Everyone else in the kingdom still fears you, the four of you. They hate you to say the least"

Her thoughts weren't completely wrong. The kingdom still feared what they could do. Their magic, their potential to be evil.

There were those, even in school, who made their personal goal to make their lives a living hell. Tried to. They couldn't even get close to replicating things that would have been done in the isle.

"I should get back to the isle"

She was angry, and clearly wasn't thinking clearly, she just wanted all of this to stop. With this, she took two shits of paper and started writing in them.

She took the bike Ben gave her as a present, put her mother in a box, grabbed her spell book and was about to leave. She threw a last glance at her friend, then as she was about to leave she remembered: The ring. She took the ring out of her hand and place it on the table just next to the papers she had scrambled.

When Evie woke up it was starting to get dark.

She sat at the edge of her bed, took a quick glance around the room and noticed something was off, though she didn't really give it a lot of importance.

A fly flew by, she followed it with her eyes but stopped when noticed a shine coming from the night table she shared with Mal.

She stood up and went towards it, she stepped back when noticed the shining object on top of a carelessly folded paper. Her hands cover her mouth and her eyes began to water. It was Mals ring, the one Ben had given her the day of the coronation, it meant so much to her, she wouldn't take it off to take a shower and yet there it was.

A note was underneath it, it was addressed to her.

She opened it fearing what it might say, she started reading. When she finished her eyes were watering, she couldn't manage to read any further.

"I have to get the boys. We have to go to the isle, bring reason to her and come back to Auradon before she gets herself killed"

Evie was shaking, she could barely feel her body, a breeze could knock her down in this state. But she had to get the boys. She took the note and the ring and began to walk.

Her legs were moving but she couldn't feel them. Everything around her was just a big blur. Second hallway to the right. Third room from the window.

She stopped before the door. Knocked; more as letting her hand fall in the door.

A boy stepped out of the room; However, it wasn't Jay nor Carlos it was Ben.

"Fuck" She whispered

"What can I do for you, Evie?" He asked in a playful tone but immediately regret it. "Are you alright? Did something happen? Did Chad do anything to upset you?" His voice was rising with every question.

"No, it-it's a-alr-alright" It was difficult talking with a knot in her throat "I-I-I was headed to the boy's room, I mu-must have passed th-the hallway"

"Evie, do you want to talk about what is going on?"

She didn't answer. Simply turned her back and started walking a little faster than when she left her room.

After almost falling several times, because she had hit walls all her way to the dorm, she finally made it. Placed her hand on the handle…

"Carlos move! It's my time to play, you've been there all afternoon"

The younger boy smiled but kept the controls in his hands, a defying look in his eye, almost as if he was tempting the bigger and stronger boy to go kick his ass for the controls.

"Oh, I am getting those controls" Jay though determined to get them.

He was leaning, almost jumping to the other boy, when the sound of the door opening stopped him.

It was Evie, but she was bearly standing, she was going to fall any second now.

Before he even noticed he was running towards her and got there just in time to catch her friend.

"Evie?!" He shouted

Carlos closed the door behind them while he placed her friend on the bed. She somehow managed to stay sitted.

"Mal's gone back to the isle," She said with the minimum movement of her mouth, barely audible.

"What?!" Both of them shouted. The colors of their faces banished and Evie's state wasn't the most preoccupying at this point.

She was pulled back to reality by their shout, almost thankful for it and fortunately, both of the boys came to their senses rather quickly, ready to act.

"She left a note and the ring, she left… She said she wasn't good enough, she couldn't handle this anymore… I-I-I can't… She's gone…" She wasn't being clear. Her hands were frenetically looking for something in her pockets.

"Calm down, E" This time it was Carlos who had spoken

She opened her mouth but a knock stopped her from talking.

"Really! Now! I'm gonna kick this asshole's ass. He's gonna regret interrupting Evie. Who…"

Jay's thoughts were stopped when Carlos opened the door and saw Ben standing on the other side of the door. His hands were shaking, he had a piece of paper in one hand and the other was making a strange move, pulling back and forth his hair.

"It's my fault" He muttered "I shouldn't have forced her to anything"

"You know?" Carlos said looking directly at Ben

"You, dropped this letter before you left, I couldn't help but noticed it was Mals handwriting… I need to get her back, I need to go there and apologize"

"We will get her back and then you can apologize all you want" the smallest boy interrupted Ben thoughts and drew attention to himself. "I promise we will get her back"

"I'm coming with you"

"The hell you are!" This time it was Jay

"It's my fault she's gone, I should be the one to go"

"No! You're not going, Mal…" she corrected herself "We couldn't live with ourselves if anything happened to you… ignoring the fact we are not sending the king of Auradon to his death"

"But…" He hesitated but got his confidence back a second later "Rather I go with you or I go by myself but there is no way I am staying here with my arm crossed doing nothing to get back the girl I love" He snapped

"Carlos shut the door we have to talk, and you…" It was Evie talking, she looked at Ben directly in the eyes trying to decipher if the young king was lying. He wasn't, he had the same look on his face she used to have when threatening someone back on the isle "You, better keep your temper and stop shouting at us. If not I'll keep you locked in your room while we go get Mal"

"So I am going?" Ben voice sounded a little bit more enthusiastic than he intended.

"I'm thinking" Evie answered

"Are you MAD!" Jay shouted "We would put the King of AURADON in a silver plate for every villain there ever was"

"Not everyone" Carlos interrupted although he didn't intend to.

"Yeah, Mal wouldn't hurt me" Ben agreed with the small boy. But he actually didn't know what he was referring to, Evie and Jay did and immediately gave Carlos a killing glare.

"Even if we agree on taking Ben, I am not saying we are" The oldest boy looked at the king and then back to Evie and Carlos "We need a plan. If you didn't notice we are not exactly too popular in there"

"I know" Evie and Carlos answered at the unison, "And we are taking a bigger danger to ourselves by bringing the King" Carlos looked at Ben

"We'll figure out the details on our way, now let's move, the faster we get there the faster we leave" She paused for a moment "Lets put one thing clear" The girl looked directly at Ben, a grave expression covered her face "We are not getting stuck in there again"

Ben had just a second to nod before she continued

"And there's no chance in hell we are living without Mal"

"Of course," Ben said as firmly as he could, but he was intimidated by his friend's glares.

After she had stated how things were going to go Evie left the room.

Almost an hour passed, Jay and Carlos were going up and down the room collecting strange objects they had hidden in various locations around the room.

Ben was afraid to ask what they were doing their expressions had changed, almost like the first time he had met them when they first came to Auradon. Something Ben was always going to remember was their scared, yet threatening looks when they stepped down the limo.

Evie entered the room with something made out of leather in her hands.

"Ben" She called him "It's the best I can do at so short notice, but if we are taking you to the isle there is no way you are going dressed like" she turned her head to the ground and back to Bens' head "Well, like that"

"What is wrong with my clothes?" He asked skeptically.

"For real?" she looked in a combination of concerned and trying to contain the laughter her eyes were showing.

"You did that in less than an hour?" Carlos looked surprised pointing at the clothes Ben was holding.

"Well, I've been working in my magic, I think I'm getting better. Mal would be proud"

"She will be, I promise" This time it was Jay who lifted the girl spirit

"You do know magic is prohibited, right? What else have you been doing without my permission? What have you four been hiding me?" Ben looked shocked

"Somethings are better not saying them to the King of Auradon" Jay answered while Evie pointed to the clothes ordering the boy to get changed.

Ben left the room and entered the bathroom.

Wow, she really is great! She did this in less than an hour. Tho… magic, they might be my friends but they have shown they have a little, to say the least, isle still in them.

At least know I am going to see the place they are so desperate to avoid, with my own eyes.

He sure didn't know what he was talking about, The isle may be something for him, for his dreams. He might have pictured it as his worst nightmare, still, it wasn't enough.

When he came out the room the three of them were waiting for him at the door.

"We still need to borrow some transportation" He stated

"Don't worry we have it under control" Jay had a weird smile on his face, almost mischevious.

During the ride, they all thought of different ways to pull the plan off without being caught.

They were so naive.

Really? No one just goes to the isle. No one is ever not noticed. No one comes out without scars.

There was one very significant detail, they had forgotten about. Maleficent was gone. There was a new ruler in town and she wasn't gonna be merciful for their betrayal.

She had her own agenda, they were just the icing on the cake.
