"WAKE UP, YOU LITTLE INDOLENT WORM!" A voice boomed, waking a girl from her dreams. A thin man with curly, black shoulder-length hair that drapes over his shoulders, a large hooked nose, a thin black mustache that angles upward sharply, a large chin and a hook for a hand, is standing in the doorway of the girl's bedroom. And as you can guess, that is Captain Hook, Peter Pan's nemesis.
The girl groaned out, "Five more minutes, dad." Captain Hook shook his head in irritation before walking over to the bed and pulling the mattress off the bed and onto the floor. The girl yelped and sat up, her hand on the back of her head.
"Get up and go to school. NOW!" He barked at her, walking out of her room, and slamming it loudly. She flinched and sighed, getting up and walking to her barely standing dresser, picking out clothes to wear.
This girl's name is Annaleise. She has straight dark brown hair that goes down to her waist, light brown eyes, has a skinny body, and really pale skin that looks like snow. She chose to wear a baggy black hoodie with the sleeves so long that people can only see her fingertips and has a black and red wolf symbol on the back of it, black and red pants, and worn-out black and white shoes. She grabbed her one-strap bag with books in it as she yelled, "Bye, Dad!" When she got no response, she just shook her head and climbed out her window. She jumped onto the pipe and ran across it to the other building. Annaleise ran across a few rooftops before jumping down to street level. She saw shops and lots of people roaming around.
"YOU LITTLE BRAT! I'LL BOIL YOU IN THE COFFEE POT NEXT TIME!" A voice shrieked after a girl who was holding a cup of coffee in her hand with a smirk on her face and replied to the voice who had yelled at her, "Not if you can't catch me first!"
The girl had shoulder length purple hair, piercing green eyes, a purple biker jacket with a dash of pink on one arm and green on the other and torn jeans that looked like the color of dried plums, fingerless gloves and battered combat boots. Annaleise recognized her as Mal, daughter of Maleficent. Maleficent was the ruler of The Isle of The Lost, where all villains were banished to, all thanks to King Beast who had also put a barrier around it to keep the villains trapped there with no magic and no way off the island.
Mal looked at her and Annaleise stared back. They stared at each for a few seconds before Annaleise looked away and walked off towards Dragon Hall, the school for teaching teenagers on how to be a proper villain. Annaleise looked around before seeing a certain black and white haired boy in the crowd. She smirked before rushing over to him. She decided to follow him quietly, so she can scare him. She saw him holding a black box with wires sticking out at different places.
'Must be a new invention.' She thought before deciding it's the right time to scare him. She put her hands on his shoulder and howled like a dog. He jumped up in the air, screaming, causing the black box in his hands to fall. Before it fell on the ground, Annaleise caught it and hid it behind her back. The boy looked at her before saying, "Hey, that was uncalled for, Anna!"
The boy was Carlos De Vil, son of Cruella De Vil. He has black hair at the roots and white at the tips of his hair and chocolate brown eyes. He was wearing a fur-collared jacket with one black and one white side and red leather sleeves, a black button-down shirt with streaks of white and long shorts with one white and one black and white shorts leg.
"Um, it kind of was. You know what they say, 'When an opportunity shows itself, you take it.' And that's what I did." Annaleise snickered. Carlos just pouted and crossed his arms, looking away from her. Then something crossed his mind.
"Give it, now." He demanded, holding out his hand. Annaleise looked at the hand before smiling and slapping the hand. "I didn't mean a high-five, you doofus. I meant my invention."
"What invention?" She asked, acting dumb to make him mad. It was working, his eyebrows were knit close together and the sides of his lips twitched. "Drop the act. You know what I'm talking about."
"Alright, alright, fine." With that said, she gave it back. His eyes lit up when he got it back. "Just what is that thing?"
"Oh, it's a power core; it's just like a battery. I'm trying to make a hole in the barrier, so I can get a signal and we can watch something other than that beastly king telling us to be good or that channel that only sells shackles." Carlos explained. Annaleise nodded and looked up. "Um, Carlos we're going to be late to school if we don't hurry."
Carlos looked up and saw that she was right. They looked at each other before they started running into the school. They passed through a moss covered archway and into the main school dead ivy-covered hallway. It was busy with activity from students rough-housing, chatting, and running around.
They scrambled through the main hall and through rusty double doors that led to the classrooms underground. Annaleise saw her older brother, Harriet and his crew of fake pirates. She rolled her eyes before heading into the classroom. She sat in a desk in the back of the class where she couldn't see the blackboard. Carlos sat in the desk in front of her.
"Hey, Carlos." Annaleise said, Carlos turned around in his seat to look at her. "Did you hear about the new student that will be joining us today?"
"Yeah. It's that girl who thinks she's a princess. You know, Evil Queen's daughter." Carlos said, turning around to start working on his invention.
"Do you think Mal will get mad and try to get revenge on her for what happened?" Annaleise asked, Carlos turned back around with a confused look on his face. "You know, when we were four years old and she was six, and she had that party. She gave everyone invitations but Mal. Remember that? And then Maleficent put some kind of curse on them and we never saw them again. Well, until now."
"Oh yeah, I remember the look on her face when Maleficent cursed them." Carlos said, a bit bitterly. Annaleise noticed but didn't say anything about it. The door opened and there was a girl standing there, she looked like a princess. She had her blue hair in a neat V-braid. She was wearing a blue cape around her shoulders, a crown in the middle of the back of it, a red poison heart necklace around her neck and raggedy black skirt, splattered with red, blue and white paint with black and white forest-print leggings. Everyone was staring at her. She looked around nervously before sitting down at a desk near the window and everyone gasped.
'Oh, bad place to sit, princess.' Annaleise thought before the door opened again to see Mal and a taller boy enter the room. The boy's name was Jay, son of Jafar. Jay had long, straight dark hair and had a red beanie covering it, dark brown eyes, have muscles in all of the right places, he was wearing a purple and yellow leather vest, black studded gloves and dark jeans. Mal looked at the princess before walking over to her and cleared her throat. The blue haired girl looked up and smiled nervously.
"Hi, I'm Evie. What's your name?" She asked. "By the way, that jacket is amazingly cool and it looks great on you. I love the patchwork leathers on it."
"Princess Blue, that's her desk. I would find another desk if I were you." Yzla hissed at her. Evie's eyes widened when she heard that and looked back at Mal.
"Oh, this is your desk?" Mal nodded. "I had no idea it was yours. I'm so sorry! But it had a great view of the lectern."
"Yes, it does. And if you don't move your blue haired caboose out of it, you'll get a view all right." The purple haired girl sneered, brushing past Evie and noisily set her backpack down in front of the desk. Evie seemed to get the message as she grabbed her things and sat in the desk next to Annaleise. She turned to her and asked, "Is that who I think it is?"
"If you mean Mal, you're right and I would stay out of her way if I were you." Carlos answered. Evie glanced at Mal before breathing out, "Mal."
"Yeah. Her mom's the Big Bad around here. You know-" Annaleise said, making horns on both sides of her head with her hands. Evie whispered and gulped. "By the way, my name's Carlos De Vil and this is Annaleise." Carlos introduced, not looking away from his invention.
"Oh, I'm-" Annaleise cut her off, bored. "Evie, we know, daughter of Evil Queen. We've met before, at your birthday party."
"Sorry, I don't remember much about the party except how it ended." Evie said, apologetically. Annaleise shrugged, indifferent about it. "Also, Carlos is your neighbor. He lives down the street from you in Hell Hall."
"He does? But I thought no one lived there but that crazy old woman and her-" Evie was cut off once again by Carlos this time. "Don't say it!"
"Say what? I was just going to say dog." Evie said, looking at Carlos in confusion. "We-we don't have dogs." He said, he was starting to look paler than usual.
"But-" Evie was cut off yet again by Annaleise who said, "Evie, just drop it. Carlos has a fear of dogs and he is deathly afraid of them."
"Okay, okay. Don't blow a gasket." Evie held up her hands in surrender. Annaleise chuckled and Carlos continued to work on his invention. Their first class was Selfishness 101 or Selfies for short, taught by Mother Gothel who took way too many pictures of herself with an old camera.
The photos were littered around of Mother Gothel in many positions and making faces thought impossible. But Mother Gothel herself wasn't in the classroom and she was a half hour late. When she did arrive, she was irritated, to say the least. "Have I taught you nothing about being fashionably late to every engagement?"
For the next thirty minutes or so, they studied Portraits of Evil and today's just so happened to be Cruella De Vil. Carlos didn't care to study it because he already memorized it by heart. He just tinkered with his invention.
Class ended and students began to file out of the classroom. They found out that Evie had Lady Tremaine for Evil Schemes with Carlos. Annaleise left to go to History of Curses and Spells taught by Madame Medusa.
"That's an advanced class, you must have a really high EQ." Carlos said to Evie, impressed. He motioned towards the stairs. "It's this way."
"Why, if it isn't Carlos De Vil." A cold voice cut through their chat, making them stop in their tracks. When they turned around, they saw Mal with Jay standing next to her.
"Hey, Mal, what's up?" Carlos said, trying to sound nonchalant. Mal never talked to him before and doesn't know why she is talking to him now.
"Your mom's away at the spa this weekend, right?" She asked, elbowing Jay who is snickering. Carlos nodded, uncertain. "Y-yes."
"Right answer. I can't exactly give a party at my place without my mother screaming at everyone." Mal said, patting his head. Carlos just sighed. "And we can't have it at Jay's because his dad will try to hypnotize everyone into being his servants."
"Totally." Jay agreed. Carlos nodded slowly, having a feeling what's Mal implying. "Great. Perfect. Party at your house. Tonight."
"What? Tonight? I can't have a party. I mean, you should understand, my mom doesn't really like it when people come over and I have a lot of work to do." Carlos said, hurriedly, trying to change Mal's mind about the party. Mal just ignored it.
"Spread the news. Hell Hall's having a hell-raiser. Get the word out. Activate the twilight bark or whatever it is you dogs do." Mal said, smirking as she walked away but before she did, she turned towards Evie and said, "You're invited, too."
In the Class of Curses and Spells.
Annaleise walked in and sat down in the back of the room. She sighed and took out a book from her bag. It was a big, leather book called the Hexoren. On the cover it had nothing on it but on the inside, it just said Hexoren. It was a magical book of spells, but even though there is a barrier around the island and it can't cast spells, it can still fly, open itself up, and can communicate with bright flashes to which only Annaleise can understand for some reason she don't know. She found the book when she was six years old and she kept it hidden from everyone, knowing it would cause chaos if anyone knew about it and they would try to use the book for their own selfish needs.
Annaleise looked around to make sure no one is looking at her before talking to Hexoren. "Hey, Hexy."
The book flashed it's pages three times. "Hey Anna, what's up?"
"School, that's what up. And it is so boring." She answered, still keeping an eye out if anyone is looking at her. Hexoren flashed four times. "It's not that bad. It could be fun."
"You're lucky you are not a teenager because you're a book." Annaleise complained while crossing her arms. Hexoren flashed five times. "If I had my full powers right now, I would make you hit yourself in the head. But it's your lucky day."
"What do you mean by that?" She questioned, looking down at the magical book. Hexoren flashed six times. "Because you will be helping Carlos set up the party tonight."
"Party? What party?" She asked. Hexoren flashed six times. "Put your hand on top of me." She looked at him a bit bewildered but did as asked. She was instantly at a different place in a busy hallway. She saw Carlos, Evie, Mal and Jay talking to each other. Annaleise instantly understood what Hexoren meant. "Hexy, you can take me out of this past and put me back in the present." There was a whoosh and she was back in her chair in History of Curses and Spells.
